Rockies AND D'backs Invade Riverview Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Brian Serven blasted a two-run HR, singled, walked, and scored a run, Ben Johnson hammered a two-run HR, Juan Ciriaco belted a solo HR, singled, and scored two runs, and Hidekel Gonzalez cracked a bases-loaded three-run triple to help the Rockies take a commanding 9-5 lead, but Kwangmin Kwon collected three hits (two singles and a two-run double) and scored two runs, Jonathan Sierra belted a two-run HR, singled, and scored two runs, Jose Gutierrez roped a two-run double and threw out a runner on the bases, and Ruben Reyes (RBI single) and Richard Nunez (RBI double) drilled consecutive run-scoring hits with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, as the Cubs rallied to score four runs over the final two innings and tie the Rockies 9-9 on Field #5, and Stephen Smith reached base four times (HBP, single, RBI double, and a two-run double) and scored three runs, Joey Rose crushed a three-run HR, doubled, and scored two runs, Luis Tejeda doubled twice and scored two runs, and SP Franklyn Soriano hurled five innings of shutout ball with eight strikeouts, as the Diamondbacks thrashed the Cubs 10-4 on Field #6, in an unusual Cactus League Extended Spring Training doubleheader played at the Riverview Baseball Complex Tuesday morning in Mesa, AZ. 

Kevin Zamudio collected three hits (two singles and a double) and Joe Martarano laced an RBI double and an RBI single in a losing cause for the Cubs on Field #6.

Cubs RHP Jesus Camargo extended his "no-hit" innings streak to eleven before surrendering five runs on six hits (including two doubles and a HR) over his final 2.1 IP in the game on Field #6, although he did rack-up seven strikeouts along the way.   

The Diamondbacks were the "home" team in the game on Field #6.

Jose Gutierrez continues to hang. Please hit! Please hit often, over many years!

AZ Phil, curious if you have heard any rumblings about Juan Paniagua, who appears to be getting stretched out as a starter again in Iowa (and having surprisingly good results in his first two short starts). Just an emergency fill in situation or is there a plan to give him a shot there?

BRADSBEARD: Juan Carlos Paniagua was used strictly as a late-inning reliever when he was at Minor League Camp this past March-April, so I don't know if he is being moved back to the starting rotation at Iowa or if he is just getting an emergency spot start here & there while the I-Cubs are temporarily short of available SP. 

One thing I always think about whenever somebody brings up Paniagua is what a pitching coach told me a couple of years ago... that nobody really knows how old Paniagua is, or even what his real name is.

Juan Carlos Paniagua(?) is truly a Dominican Pitcher of Mystery.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

  • crunch (view)

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
