Soler Leads Cubs to Victory at Riverview Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Jorge Soler drilled an RBI double and later scored on an Oliver Zapata two-run single in the 1st, and singled and subsequently scored on an errant pick-off attempt in the 2nd, as the Cubs took advantage of eight errors to crush the Athletics 11-3 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning on Field #6 at the Under Armour Performance Center at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ.  

Cub relievers retired the last 16 A's in a row to seal the victory. 
At Extended Spring Training while rehabbing a right hamstring injury, Soler served as a DH and batted once in each of the first five innings. After the double (line-drive into the LF corner) and the single (hard-hit grounder through the 5.5 hole) in the first two innings, Soler reached base on an HBP in the 3rd (he was hit in the lower left back), and grounded out 5-3 in the 4th and 5th innings. 

The A's committed all eight of their errors in the first three innings, and three of the miscues occurred on the same play in the bottom of the 2nd. It began with SS Jesus Lopez dropping a Ricardo Marcano pop fly in short left field for an E-6, then LF Matt Hillsinger made an errant throw trying to nail Marcano at 2nd base, and finally 1B A. J. Kubala airmailed a throw to 3rd base that allowed Marcano to come around to score the classic "Little League Home Run."      

Prior to the Cactus League EXST game, RHPs Josh Conway, Greyfer Eregua, and Francisco Carrillo, and LHP Michael Heesch squared off in a three-inning "sim" game on Field #3.

Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):

leaoff walk to Vince Coleman, steals 2b, third on wild pitch and scores on sac fly...

80's Cardinals are smiling

Castro is batting 4th again,

we're going to look back at these lineups like we did at the early 80's Cubs

And pitchers continue with their stubborn refusal to pitch to Rizzo. Nice that he isn't trying to do it all this year.

Reason # 385 not to sign Samrzdizja Gives up homer to Billy Hamilton. His first one...ever.

given that he's talking to ex-cubs pitchers on opposing teams about dealing with all the no-decisions and losses playing for the cubs gives you...i wouldn't count on him signing anyway. well, not unless the cubs bringing the loot. ninja's been so pro and tight lipped about all of this that it's hard to tell if a chance at winning a championship or money is more important to him.

That strikes me as a one-sided conversation- Garza offering unsolicited advice rather than Samardzija talking with ex-Cubs. Still, I am not enamored by Samardzija. It's not so much that I think he's a bad pitcher... the problem is he seems convinced that he is "ace material"... probably because he is currently the ace. On a real big league team, however, he's a good #3 or #4 option, so I am all for the Cubs offering him #3 or #4 money and if he wants to walk, been nice knowing you. The way he's talking his "agent talk" all with the "have to do what's right for future player signings, etc, etc" b.s., he's obviously going to be demanding far more than he's worth. So, I think the smart move is to let him walk knowing that he may very well put in some decent (albeit overpaid) months and years on some other team. My ceiling on an offer would be something like 4 yr/$50-55.

cubs get rosscup/olt into the game...rain delay before rosscup gets a chance to throw the 1st pitch. neat.

ARZ blows holding a tie game in the 9th to lose and run their record to 8-22. they were at least expected to have a somewhat decent (though not good/great) chance of competing and they're 9.5 games out of 1st in their division (9 games off the wild card) with 1 game left to play in april. yow.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

  • Bill (view)

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
