Cubs Super-8 Overcomes Angels at Sloan Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on Fri, 04/22/2016 - 5:07pm

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).

...maybe if there were more reds fans at the reds ballpark then he might not have to hear it. maybe...

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!

Totally correct. I think it's safe to say Cub fans have paid their dues.

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.

The Cubs aren't all to blame, IMO. What Bryan Price did here is like taking a guy with burns and tossing him in a burning building. And then left him there for far too long.

he's gone from closer, to mop-up guy, to ineffective with a 19.50era and 2.83 whip within a few weeks. 8 outings, runs given up in 5 of them, 4 of them 2+ runs... it's been a crummy april and there's still a bit of it left.

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.

Submitted by Ryno  on Fri, 04/22/2016 - 9:56pm  
Insane. Video is on gameday.

As it was developing, I was thinking, "Oh, this is going to be fun to watch Puig air it out...  oh wow, that throw has some loft under it... oh my god, he's out, isn't he?"  I laughed out loud, it was so ridiculous.

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

That triple play is hilarious.  So is Stoney with the know-it-all commentary, as it happens.

    Cubs were 1 for 9 with RISP.

    Neither of the Cards who scored had to take the bat off of their shoulder.

    With the game on the line, Joe sends up Tony Kemp.

    2019 season in microcosm.

    p.alonso (NYM) gets #50...not bad for a rookie.

    also, MIL wins because of course why not.

    cubs are 2 games behind in the WC standings for the 2nd slot...5 games behind STL in the central.

    Welp. I guess I will continue to pay attention to the Wild Card race? Dropping the Michael Wacha game is bad.

    Another game, another set of golden opportunities to add on to a lead wasted.

    And nine hits ... with one run to show for it

    6 innings, 5 pitchers used...and the cubs are down by 1 to show for it.

    I hate Tommy Edman, and those of his ilk. The pissbirds are masters of getting a few good years out of middling prospect types like him. DeJong, Jon Jay, Matt Adams, Tommy Pham, Allen Craig, Matt Carpenter... the list goes on and on.

    If he makes four more appearances prior to the conclusion of the MLB regular season, David Phelps' 2020 club option salary escalates from $3M to $5M (plus up to $3.25M in performance bonuses).

    Conversely, Padres closer Kirby Yates has allowed only two HR with a .184 OppBA and 13/100 BB/K in 59.2 IP and  Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez (now on Restricted List) has allowed just five HR with a .197 OppBA and 13/90 BB/K in 60.0 IP.
