Fighters Take the Wiz at Sloan Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Ryo Watanabe drilled a two-run double, singled twice, and scored a run, Taishi Ohta hammered two doubles, drove-in two runs, and scored another, and Kenta Uehara and four relievers combined to toss a three-hitter, as the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters (NPB Pacific League) honey-baked the KT Wiz (KBO) 9-1 in Spring Training game action this afternoon at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ

Tae-Hyuk Nam slugged a solo home run onto the LF berm to account for the loan Wiz run.

Both teams are taking Spring Training in Arizona, with the Fighters based at the Peoria Sports Complex in the Phoenix metro area, and the Wiz based at the Kino Sports Complex (formerly known as "Tucson Electric Park") in Tucson. Today's game was the one and only non-intrasquad game that will be played by the Fighters before they return to Japan.

The game was hosted by the Cubs, and the two managers met at home plate prior to the start of the game to shake hands, exchange lineup cards and gift bags(?), and pose for photographs.

Cubs International Scout Fernando Seguignol (who played for the Nippon-Ham Fighters 2003-06, hitting 122 HR over the course of four NPB seasons with the Fighters) and Cubs Video Coordinator Naoto Masomoto (who was born in Japan) threw out the ceremonial first pitches.

Fighters superstar RHP-OF-DH Shohei Otani is out of action with an ankle injury and so he did not play in the game. (Otani also will miss the World Baseball Classic).

Andy Marte (who was killed in a car crash in the Dominican Republic last month) played for the KT Wiz last year and was one of the main men in their lineup (hitting 265/364/517 with 22 HR & 74 RBI), so he will be missed.

boo. *throws trash on your front lawn* boo. i still love the WBC. the qualifiers can be unique trainwrecks of entertainment. watching pakistan attempt to play baseball leading up to the WBC was...interesting. that said, being able to play on a foreign team because your great grandfather's 2nd cousin had a layover on an international flight in a given country waters it down a bit. ...also, boo on russell martin not being able to play SS for team canada because of contract/insurance issues.

dewees has a 4th OF'r profile and not enough arm to play RF without concern. he can run, though, which is a useful plus as a 4th OF'r who would be found on the bench. mills has a good base of tools, but it needs tweaking to work on the MLB level. *shrug* i'm a bit indifferent to the whole thing. i'm not going to miss dewees and i like the gamble on a possible end rotation guy...especially if they don't plan on stretching out montgomery to start (which seems like is happening).

VIRGINIAPHIL-I'm not saying it's a bad thing to get guys who had TJS, I'm justing making an observation. Lackey and Rondon have also and they tuned out fine. He bought low on Feldman, Maholm, and others and flipped them for profits. I'm not saying he doesn't know what he's doing If I say the Cubs have 5 guys from Florida on they're 40-man (Rizzo, Russell, Davis, Jay, Almora) are you going to criticize me pointing that out. It was merely a statement, calm down.

Donnie Dewees to KC for Alec Mills. Anyone know how many options Mills has? I'm thinking at least two, but wasn't sure.

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 02/08/2017 - 02:13 pm

david rollins DFA'd to make room for mills. my god, what an offseason for rollins...probably on the move for the 6th time. also, that AAA rotation is getting thick with arms.

Read where Rollins has been in Mesa for three days working, then was DFAed today. Rough luck.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
