Dewees Double Triple Leads Angels/Cubs over Rangers at Riverview

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Donnie Dewees smacked two triples, scored a run, and drove-in another, Yeiler Peguero laced an RBI triple (back-to-back RBI triples with Dewees in a three-run 3rd) and a single, scored a run, and knocked-in a run, Alberto Mineo doubled twice and scored a run, Ian Rice drilled a two-run single, walked, and scored a run, Jason Vosler doubled, walked, and scored a run, Eddy Julio Martinez hammered an RBI double, SP Garrett Richards (on LAA MLB 60-day DL since May with a torn elbow UCL) tossed 2-1/3 innings of perfect baseball, and the bullpen threw four innings of no-hit shutout ball to close the game out, leading the Angels/Cubs co-op team to an 8-4 victory over the Rangers in AZ Advanced Instructional League game action Monday afternoon on Field #1 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.

Yeyson Yrizarri smashed a two-run double to highlight a four-run 5th inning rally and Melvin Novoa and ex-Cub Frandy de la Rosa each singled twice, walked, and scored a run for the Rangers in a losing cause.

@TheCCO Joe Maddon said @670TheScore 11 pitchers, 14 position players more likely right now for NLDS roster due to the days off in a 5-game series

Likely to announce rotation and roster this afternoon.

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 10/04/2016 - 10:11 pm

Glad he kept this under wraps for so long...really pulled this out of nowhere

Maddon announces #Cubs rotation for NLDS: Lester, Hendricks, Arrieta, Lackey.

I barely care for the NLDS, but based on recent performance, I'll please take Lackey third and Arrieta fourth for the NLCS and WS. I know that's probably controversial, but like it or not, Lackey's just throwing better since the All-Star break. Plus if it's worth anything, he's a known Game 7 commodity, but to be clear I have no doubt about Arrieta in the nerves department.

this TBS feed needs more bigass bulky graphics. i can almost see the game and that's annoying.

this game is a good postseason warmup. aside from the "thrown beer" incident earlier in the game, and somewhat because of it for some people, the fans are pumping as much life into this game as the players.

Flipping between AL Wild Card game and Blackhawks vs Red Wings. 2 on with nobody out in bottom of the 9th, I'm surprised that Britton isn't in the game, even though it's a non-save situation. Only 1 ER since May with your season on the line. I'm surprised. Everybody will be questioning Showalter for not bringing Britton into the game if the Jays walk off. Luckily O'Day got out of the inning, so the Orioles avoid criticism for not bringing Britton in. If it were the Cubs, Chapman should absolutely comes in for that situation.

Time for some free playoff baseball!!!!!! Inb4 more debris gets thrown onto the field. Inb4 game ends with a Jose Bautista walk off HR and bat flip and brawl.

    I was there for the PCA homer as well. 50 degree baseball is no longer fun when sitting in the shade (knit hats, scarves and gloves are football gear) but I agree it’s one of those really cool moments. I loved the bear hug given by Swanson at home plate and of course the added impact that the PCA homer became a game winner.

    In honor of dispatching with the Astros, this painting is titled “The Sweep”. 
    I retired a couple years ago, and took a job at Wrigley as a security guy. SO cool having Wrigley as your office. SO cool being there when PCA got his first hit. 
    “The Sweep” happens at the end of every game - the security staff sweeps through the ballpark making sure it’s empty.
    (Hopefully I’ll be putting this painting up often this year.)
    Lastly, because working for the Cubs, they understandably don’t want you voicing opinions on social, which is why I’m only painting the banners here.

    Honorable mention to Jim Bullinger via BleedCubbieBlue: 

    Bullinger, a converted shortstop, had pitched in three games before he came to the plate. He had entered the game to relieve starter Shawn Boskie after four innings, and came to the plate to lead off the fifth, and hit Rheal Cormier's first pitch over the left-field wall to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead; they eventually won the game 5-2 in 14 innings. Of the 129players to homer in their first MLB at-bat, Bullinger is one of just 32 to hit that blast on the first big-league pitch he saw (including Contreras) and one of just six pitchers to do so.

    Most of this activity will lead nowhere, of course, but it is fantastic that they’re looking for talent in every nook and cranny. You never know where that can lead, and virtually nothing is lost if if leads nowhere, as long as no one of superior talent and potential is losing an opportunity.

    Childersb3: Miguel Cruz walked six in 1.2 IP in his last start, so I guess he is improving. Wilme Mora also walked six in one of his appearances a week or two ago, and one or two others have walked five. I don't know what would be the most I have ever seen a pitcher throw in a game out here, because the manager / pitching coach usually gets the pitcher out of the game if it gets too ridiculous. 

    As for the attendance, probably about 20 of the 25 were early arrivals for the Savannah Bananas game who came over to Field # 1 to see what was going on, and once they saw all the bases on balls (12 walks by Cubs pitchers and four by Angels pitchers) they ran away screaming. I'm used to it so it didn't bother me that much.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!

  • Childersb3 (view)

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.
