Brewers Whitewash Cubs at Sloan Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Trent Clark (Brewers 2015 1st round draft pick - Richland HS - North Richland Hills, TX) tripled and scored, walked twice, stole two bases, and drove-in a run with a sacrifice fly, and RHSP Miguel Diaz and three relievers combined to toss a four-hit shutout, as the AZL Brewers blanked the AZL Cubs 4-0 in Arizona League action Sunday night at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ.

Javy Baez (on AAA Iowa 7-day DL - broken left ring finger) continued his AZL rehab, playing shortstop for seven innings and batting three times: 

1. Popped out to the second-baseman in short right-field on a 3-2 pitch with two outs and bases empty in the bottom of the 1st inning; 

2. Flied out to the centerfielder in medium-deep CF on a 1-1 pitch with two outs and bases empty in the bottom of the 4th;

3. Ripped a single between the shortstop and third-baseman into LF on a 0-2 pitch with two outs and bases empty in the bottom of the 7th, then advanced to 2nd on a Jose Paniagua single to CF (and induced the centerfielder to make a rushed-throw to third base by slowing down as he approached second base and then faking a break toward third as he rounded the bag), and then stole 3rd base on a 1-0 pitch (FEET-FIRST SLIDE), but was left stranded.

Baez handled two chances (both 6-3 ground outs) in the field. 

This was supposedly Baez's last rehab game in Arizona.

Although he is participating in pre-game work-outs, CF D. J. Wilson (Cubs 2015 4th round draft pick - Canton South HS - Canton, OH) will not play again until August 2nd (next Sunday). He has not played in a game since July 13th.

Here is the abridged box score from Sunday night's game (Cubs players only):

AZL CUBS LINEUP:
1. Robert Garcia, RF: 0-3 (3-U, BB, K, F-9, CS)
2. Carlos Sepulveda, 2B: 0-4 (F-7, 5-3, P-2, 6-4-3 DP)
3a. Javy Baez, SS: 1-3 (P-4, F-8, 1B, SB)
3b. Andruw Monasterio, SS: NO AB
4. Jose Paniagua, 1B: 2-2 (1B, BB, 1B, CS)
5. Varonex Cuevas, DH: 0-3 (P-5, 4-6 FC, F-8)
6. P. J. Higgins, 3B: 0-3 (4-3, 4-6-3 DP, 4-3)
7. Angelo Amendolare, LF: 1-3 (6-3, 5-3, 1B)
8. Marcus Mastrobuoni, C: 0-3 (6-3, F-9, 5-4-3 DP) 
9. Roberto Caro, CF: 0-2 (4-3, 5-3, BB)

Joe Sheehan ‏@joe_sheehan As of right now, the MLB unintentional walk rate is 6.99%, just the fourth time since 1908 it's been under 7% (1966, 1967, 1968).

Phil - has anyone giving any reason why Wilson will not play until next Sunday? It is odd that they would give a time frame without giving any reason.

i keep a close eye on the movement within the Cubs minor league teams. It is almost unbelievable how Jeff Antigua is bounced back and forth from Iowa and Tenn. I would like to see the poor lefty get at least one day in Chicago. Probably never happen though!

    I was there for the PCA homer as well. 50 degree baseball is no longer fun when sitting in the shade (knit hats, scarves and gloves are football gear) but I agree it’s one of those really cool moments. I loved the bear hug given by Swanson at home plate and of course the added impact that the PCA homer became a game winner.

    Holy Screaming Bananas

    In honor of dispatching with the Astros, this painting is titled “The Sweep”. 
    I retired a couple years ago, and took a job at Wrigley as a security guy. SO cool having Wrigley as your office. SO cool being there when PCA got his first hit. 
    “The Sweep” happens at the end of every game - the security staff sweeps through the ballpark making sure it’s empty.
    (Hopefully I’ll be putting this painting up often this year.)
    Lastly, because working for the Cubs, they understandably don’t want you voicing opinions on social, which is why I’m only painting the banners here.

    Honorable mention to Jim Bullinger via BleedCubbieBlue: 

    Bullinger, a converted shortstop, had pitched in three games before he came to the plate. He had entered the game to relieve starter Shawn Boskie after four innings, and came to the plate to lead off the fifth, and hit Rheal Cormier's first pitch over the left-field wall to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead; they eventually won the game 5-2 in 14 innings. Of the 129players to homer in their first MLB at-bat, Bullinger is one of just 32 to hit that blast on the first big-league pitch he saw (including Contreras) and one of just six pitchers to do so.

    Most of this activity will lead nowhere, of course, but it is fantastic that they’re looking for talent in every nook and cranny. You never know where that can lead, and virtually nothing is lost if if leads nowhere, as long as no one of superior talent and potential is losing an opportunity.

    Childersb3: Miguel Cruz walked six in 1.2 IP in his last start, so I guess he is improving. Wilme Mora also walked six in one of his appearances a week or two ago, and one or two others have walked five. I don't know what would be the most I have ever seen a pitcher throw in a game out here, because the manager / pitching coach usually gets the pitcher out of the game if it gets too ridiculous. 

    As for the attendance, probably about 20 of the 25 were early arrivals for the Savannah Bananas game who came over to Field # 1 to see what was going on, and once they saw all the bases on balls (12 walks by Cubs pitchers and four by Angels pitchers) they ran away screaming. I'm used to it so it didn't bother me that much.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.
