Golden Jack and a Dong Dinger Today's Breakfast Specials at Fitch Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on Mon, 05/02/2011 - 05:45 pm

Reggie Golden blasted a 400-ft+ three-run home run over the left-centerfield fence and Dong-Yub Kim cracked at two-run shot over the LF fence to lead the EXST Cubs to a 9-3 victory over the EXST Diamondbacks this morning at Fitch Park Field #2 in Mesa.

While the Cubs were playing the D’backs on Field #2 (Field #3 was not available), another squad of Cubs played a six-inning intrasquad “sim game” on Field #1, with pitchers Ryan Hartman, Alvido Jimenez, Starling Peralta, Yilver Sanchez, Amaury Paulino, and Joe Zeller throwing two innings a piece.

In EXST Cubs roster news, RHP Justin Bristow (2010 non-TJS elbow surgery) and RHP Su-Min Jung have completed their rehab assignments at Extended Spring Training and have been moved-up to Peoria. Bristow has looked better with each outing, and looks to be about back to where he was in 2009. Bristow throws a 93 MPH fastball, a change, and a curve, and he should be able to pitch multiple innings for the Chiefs. Jung has been stretched-out as a starter at EXST, so he should be able to start or "piggyback" (as needed).      

Here is today’s abridged box score for the EXST game at Fitch Park Field #2 (Cubs players only):

LINEUP:
1. Oliver Zapata, CF: 1-5 (K, F-8, F-9, K, 1B, R, RBI)
2. Yaniel Cabezas, C: 2-5 (4-3, 4-3, K, 1B, 1B, R, RBI, CS)
3. Marco Hernandez, 2B: 2-4 (1B, BB, 4-3, K, 2B, 2 RBI)
4. Wilson Contreras, 3B: 1-4 (1B, 4-6-3 DP, L-6, K)
5. Chad Noble, 1B: 1-4 (4-3, 5-3, 1B, K, R)
6. Dong-Yub Kim, LF: 1-3 (BB, K, HR, F-8, 2 R, 2 RBI)
7. Wes Darvill, SS: 0-3 (BB, K, 3-U, F-9, R)
8a. Reggie Golden, RF: 2-3 (HR, K, 1B, R, 3 RBI)
8b. Eduardo Gonzalez, RF: 0-0 (BB, R)
9. Brian Inoa, DH: 1-4 (K, 1B, F-8, E-3, R, SB)

PITCHERS:
1. Jon Nagel: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 15 pitches (10 strikes), 2/0 GO/FO
2. Ben Wells: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP, 41 pitches (26 strikes), 3/2 GO/FO
3. Jose Rosario: 3.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HBP, 1 GIDP, 43 pitches (26 strikes), 5/2 GO/FO
4. Hunter Ackerman: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 36 pitches (25 strikes), 3/0 GO/FO
5. Dustin Fitzgerald: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 25 pitches (12 strikes), 2/0 GO/FO

ERRORS: 2:
1. 3B Wilson Contreras E5 – fielding error allowed batter to reach base safely
2. 2B Marco Hernandez E4 – dropped pop fly allowed batter to reach base safely & unearned run to score

CATCHERS DEFENSE
Yaniel Cabezas: 0-3 CS, 1 PB

ATTENDANCE: 7

WEATHER: Sunny and breezy with temperatures in the 80’s

Per Rotoworld from a tweet... Doug Davis is expected to start Thursday for High-A Daytona. Assuming all goes well Thursday, he'll move up to Triple-A Iowa. Davis, 35, was signed to a minor league contract last month. The veteran left-hander would be a perfectly respectable insurance policy should either Andrew Cashner or Randy Wells suffer a setback.

probably not indicative of anything, but Pena hit 3 balls that I thought were HR's off the bat, but night air in California has always been death to fly balls. Hopefully he's about to get on a hot streak... other than that, defense still sucks as does James Russell

It occurred to me, that in three years the Cubs could have had a top three in the lineup that featured Hak-Ju Lee (currently .486 OBP in the FSL to go with his .623 slugging), Matt Szczur (0-3 last night to drop to .306 average but walked twice and stole three baess) and Starlin Castro...oh, yeah, they would also be playing up the middle defense. It could have been something similar to the ET McGhee, Ozzie Smith, Tommy Herr trio that tormented the NL East back in the 80's.

8 appearances in a row, 13 innings...no ER for ninja (and only 4 hits). ...now if he could walk less people there might be a decent middle reliever in there somewhere (9bb in that same period, btw). some days he's sharp...most days he's wobbly at best even if they aren't hitting him.

With a 5th starter not needed until a week from Saturday, Casey Coleman or James Russell should have been optioned to Iowa today, and Jeff Stevens or Scott Maine should have been recalled (Stevens has been on Optional Assignment for ten days, so he is eligible to be recalled beginning today). Or both Coleman AND Russell could be sent down if the Cubs want to try their luck with another starter on Saturday (like maybe Jay Jackson, for example).

    morel DH, tauchman CF, masterboney 3rd

    imagine a world where a manager decides to put morel at 3rd and canario DH.  crazy, huh?

    masterboney had 3 hits yesterday so we're stuck with him again today and probably for a chunk of what's left.

    canario had a double and grand slam a couple games ago and he's riding pine again.

    madrigal's hamstring strain is a grade 2 strain.  we probably won't see him anymore this season or post-season (if applicable) unless the team goes deep.

  • crunch 09/20/2023 - 09:23 pm (view)

    well that took all of 15 minutes to not be fun anymore.

  • crunch 09/20/2023 - 09:10 pm (view)

    WHO ORDERED THE GRAND SLAM?  WHAT THE F IS UP DENNYS???

  • Eric S 09/20/2023 - 09:12 pm (view)

    Sucks for Steele, sucks for the Cubs. Hopefully the Cubs get right tomorrow and take the series. 
     

    Edit: and if they choose to get right tonight instead and take the series, even better!

  • crunch 09/20/2023 - 09:44 pm (view)

    well, working his 4th game in 5 days seems to have been a bad idea.

  • crunch 09/20/2023 - 09:41 pm (view)

    make that 6 singles in a row.  cuas is coming in with men on 1st/2nd...ross loves this dude with men on.

    steele has gone from potential CY winner to "had a great season" in 2 starts.

  • crunch 09/20/2023 - 09:36 pm (view)

    steele giving up 5 straight singles and tommy h on the phone with the bullpen as if the pen is ready to put in 5-6 innings of quality work.

  • KingKongvsGodzilla 09/20/2023 - 09:57 pm (view)

    Carter Trice taking some lumps but I’m weirdly optimistic about that conversion. 20 YO 3 year starter in college when drafted, gets the ball in the air with power and took walks, started at 6 diff spots (mostly 2B/OF) 

  • crunch 09/20/2023 - 09:40 pm (view)

    morel DH, tauchman CF, and hopefully the last masterboney start at 3rd we'll ever see...i'll take wisdom's potential power over these singles-hitting ceiling hitters dross keeps marching out there because of a marginally better glove.
