Brett Jackson Back in the Saddle at Fitch Ranch

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

The EXST Cubs rallied for three runs in the bottom of the 9th to tie the EXST Diamondbacks 6-6, in a Cactus League Extended Spring Training game played this morning at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa, AZ.

The Cubs did have a chance to win the game, but Reggie Golden popped out to the first-baseman to end the bottom of the 9th, leaving the potential winning run stranded at 3rd base.

Tennessee OF (and Cubs 2009 1st round draft pick and #1 position player prospect) Brett Jackson saw his first game action since going on the Smokies DL with a finger injury on May 12th, getting four plate appearances as a DH, one in each of the first four innings.

B-Jax ripped a line-drive single to RF in his first AB in the bottom of the 1st inning, grounded out 4-3 in the bottom of the 2nd, struck out swinging in the bottom of the 3rd, and hammered a triple off the right-centerfield fence (near HR) in the bottom of the 4th (and eventually scored on a Pin-Chieh Chen GO). Based on how he swung the bat today (very well), I doubt that he will be down here much longer.

LHP (ex-OF) Kyler Burke got the start for the Cubs and worked two strong innings (19 pitches - 16 strikes) allowing just a lead-off single on his first pitch to the first batter he faced, before retiring the next six in order, including three on strikeouts (two swinging).

Here is today’s abridged box score (Cubs players only)

Ha staying in AA when Jackson returns which should be Monday Soto may need an extra day due to a rainout Thursday nice things to say about Bour and says McNutt should be over blister problems and ready to pitch deeper in games. on Simpson “I took the guns out of the ballpark,” he answered. "I can care less. For him, I took them out. For him and a couple of other guys, I’ve taken the guns out, because I don’t care. I want to know you’re throwing strikes, you’re getting guys out and you’re creating groundballs when you pitch. After that, I haven’t seen a gun get anybody out.” Oneri says he does that for a “select group of pitchers” who might be overly concerned with their velocity.

another sam fuld/TB promotion on sunday...super sam fuld cape day...kids giveaway. he's another month or so from having TB retire his jersey. by season's end he should be in the team HOF. 2012 plans involve submitting him as a wonder of the world candidate.

Soto 0/3 in first rehab game, not playing in second game of DH'er. Whitenack going in 2nd game, trying to keep perfect record going. 2-0 Tennessee in the first...Vitters and Ridling with RBI singles.

Bruce Miles posted this later in the thread: Oneri Fleita sends word during the game that pitcher Alberto Cabrera will be promoted from Tennessee to Iowa and will pitch Sunday. ===== ...sounds like it's because of them dropping Coello but wouldn't Coleman be a starter at Iowa? At least MW will have a hard thrower to watch.

Even our castoffs are getting hurt. Or once a Cub, always a Cub...From Rotoworld: --- Nationals placed LHP Tom Gorzelanny on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 24, with left elbow inflammation.

With Coello dfa'd, here's Tony Thomas line for Pawtucket: 2011 24 Pawtucket IL AAA BOS 40 162 141 .213 .296 .390 .686 Universal Entropy, nothing accomplished...and then there was the cold vacuum of empty space.

im sick and that involves a lot of laying around the house, but i still don't know why i keep subjecting myself to this team. there wasn't even a shred of "good" to today's game unless you want to celebrate a few hits or the miracle of 9 innings in the field without an error. oh yeah, k.hill caught a guy stealing. that's 2 for 12 or something like that.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.
