A's Trounce Cubs at Fitch Park
Jhonny Rodriguez (RBI single), Eric Marinez (two-run double), Jesus Lage (two-run double), Steven Pallares (RBI double), Carlos Hiciano (RBI single), Javier Godard (RBI triple), and Luis Barrera (RBI single) contributed run-scoring hits to highlight an 18-hit attack, helping the Athletics bash the Cubs 11-3 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning at the Lew Wolff Training Complex at Fitch Park in Mesa, AZ.
Kevonte Mitchell belted a two-run home run and Vimael Machin drilled an RBI triple to highlight a three-run first inning for the Cubs, but that was all the scoring the Cubs could muster.
RHSP Aaron Brooks (On Cubs MLB 15-day DL since Spring Training with a hip contusion) continued his EXST rehab, starting the game and working 2.2 IP (54 pitches). He allowed three runs on six hits (four singles, two doubles, and a triple), did not issue any walks, and struck out three (all three swinging) with a 2/2 GO/AO.
The game was called by mutual consent after eight innings of play.

BTW, if you haven't read my Roster Rules section lately, it has been updated for 2021
One of the most significant changes is that minor league affiliates no longer have individual reserve lists.
It used to be that the AAA reserve list limit was 38 players, AA was 37, and each single-A affiliate and short-season affiliate was 35 for the entire year including the off-season.
Now, there are two reserve lists, one called the "Domestic Reserve List," and the other called the "International Reserve List."

I know I posted the Kelley and Polanco releases during Minor League Camp and the Kellogg, Katz, and Krzeminski signings about a week or two ago, but I probably did not post the Snelten release.

MRI for marisnick on monday...no d/l yet, but it seems likely
also heyward has a hand issue and that's why he was removed in the 9th for a pinch hitter. no word on if that's going to be a thing going forward or just a "sleep it off" thing.

sad thing is you can't even count on heyward slotting over to CF. his D is getting subpar, average on a good day, and he can barely handle RF as steady as he used to at this point.
2y/44m left on that deal...

may 9th and hendricks puts in 5 innings (88 pitches) to bring the team lead in SP innings pitched to 34.2ip
if arrieta didn't get injured (missing his last game) and pitched a hell of a game he wouldn't have hit 40ip+ unless he threw a complete game.
might not have a single starter going 200ip this year even if they stay healthy.

Jake Marisnick has had several DL/IL stints due to hamstring injuries over the years, so this is nothing new.
I would think Cameron Maybin will probably get the call-up if Marisnick goes on the IL, although adding Maybin to the 40 would require a corresponding 40-man roster deletion (60-day IL or DFA).

PIT has 3 runs on on a walk and a slew of hits with an exit velocity comparable to the arm speed of a 5 year old throwing a dry sponge.
also, marisnick is injured and done. he's walking off the field before being checked on.

crazy quiet at the park today in the 1st.
hendricks loading the f'n bases with 0 outs isn't helping.

both him and his sister (who's since left twitter) have some interesting opinions on what civility and real americans are and are not.
it may run in the family, but they're grown ass adults responsible for what things they put out in the world for public consumption.
