Cubs Super-8 Overcomes Angels at Sloan Park

Kelly Dugan and Marcus Mastrobuoni belted two-run doubles and Shane Victorino, Kevonte Mitchell, and Jesse Hodges contributed RBI singles to highlight an eight-run 7th inning uprising, as the Cubs rallied from an 8-2 deficit to surprise the Angels 10-8 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action this morning at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ.  

Jared Foster hammered an RBI triple, singled, walked, stole a base, and scored two runs to help the Angels build their 8-2 lead.   

The Cubs stole three more bases today, for a total of twenty SB in their last six games (only one CS).

That is such a crazy opinion. It'd be one thing if the fans were chanting something negative at the Reds but getting pissed about a positive change for the team you've paid to go see is beyond moronic. There seems to be an anti-Cubs feeling building around the league and we haven't even won anything yet!

I switched to the Cincy broadcast in the late innings just to listen to Thommmy and he didn't disappoint. In his defense tho, he did also say this after the second suicide squeeze: "That's how major league baseball is supposed to be played." And went on quite a bit about how good Cubs are. I enjoy the frustration. If people didn't pick on Cubs' fans over the last 30 years, maybe I would have more sympathy. Time to get ours.

J J Hoover left the pitchers mound almost in tears. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2016 Chicago Cubs lineup. Lovable losers they are not.

Completely unrelated to anything, I just randomly turned in to a LAD/COL game, and saw Puig make the single greatest throw I have ever seen.

Also a little league triple play at Sox/Tx game And straight steal of home by Jacoby Elsbury

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...

    wow.  what a blown call.  go cubs, i guess.
