Cubs Lose One and Tie Another at Riverview

Jacy Cave ripped an RBI single and an RBI double and scored a run, Andrew Yerzy drove-in two runs with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly, and RHSP Mitch Akers hurled three innings of one-hit shutout ball and combined with three relievers on a four-hitter, helping the Diamondbacks defeat the Cubs 7-1 on Field #5, and D'backs RHSP Luis Madero and RHRP Rubby de la Rosa retired the first twelve batters they faced (seven on strikeouts) and Eduardo Diaz belted a double in the 1st inning and an RBI single in the 3rd, but the Cubs plated the tying run in the 5th on a HBP, a WP, a walk, and a Carlos Diaz RBI single and Cub relievers retired twelve of the last 14 men they faced, as the Cubs and Diamondbacks played to a 1-1 tie on Field #6, in Cactus League Extended Spring Training doubleheader action Thursday morning at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ.

Aramis Ademan singled twice, stole a base, and drove-in the lone Cub run on Field #5. 

The game on Field #5 was called after seven innings of play, and the game on Field #6 was called after 7-1/2 innings 

INF Jemile Weeks (on Iowa 7-day DL - right ACL sprain suffered in MLB Cactus League Spring Training game two months ago) took pre-game BP on Field #3 but he did not play in either game, and there is still no sign of OF Eloy Jimenez (on Myrtle Beach 7-day DL - right shoulder injury) since last Friday when he played four innings in LF in an EXST game at Riverview Park. 

In EXST Cubs roster news, RHRP David Garner has been moved up to AA Tennessee.

    I think if you had ranked players by how much the team could ill afford to have them miss significant time, Steele would be right at the top of the list.

  • crunch (view)

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1. 

  • crunch (view)

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

  • Eric S (view)

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

  • crunch (view)

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it
