D'backs Flurry of Extra-Base Hits Sink Cubs at Riverview

Jazz Chisholm and Endy Ramos belted back-to-back doubles and Joey Rose followed with a two-run HR to fuel a four-run 8th, as the Kane County Cougars (Arizona Diamondbacks Lo-A affiliate) rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to ambush the Cubs Lo-A South Bend affiliate 7-4 on Field #5, and Ramon Hernandez doubled twice, singled twice, and drove-in six runs, Daulton Varsho reached base four times (two singles and two walks), stole a base, and scored three runs, Raymel Flores ripped a single, a double and an RBI triple, Drew Ellis collected three hits, stole a base, and scored twice, and RHSP Connor Grey hurled five innings of two-hit shutout ball, as the Visalia Rawhide (D'backs Hi-A affiliate) whitewashed the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Cubs Hi-A affiliate) 8-0 on Field #6, in Cactus League Minor League Camp doubleheader game action Monday afternoon on John Arguello Way at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.   

Austin Filiere (RBI triple), Luis Diaz (RBI double), and Delvin Zinn (RBI double) each collected a two-out run-scoring extra-base hit to highlight a three-run 1st inning and RHSP Erich Uelmen tossed five innings of one-run ball for South Bend on Field #5.  

Several Iowa Cubs position-players traveled to Florida with the MLB squad for the two-game pre-season set versus the Red Sox in Ft. Myers, so a number of position-players on the Tennessee, Myrtle Beach, and South Bend squads have been temporarily promoted to higher levels for a few days (until the I-Cubs return from Florida).

cubs actually going with a "real" lineup today. it was assumed by BOS broadcasters last night that it would be a youth/prospects-heavy lineup. also, once again the away feed is the only TV feed. it was a really crappy spring training for cubs broadcasts from their announce crew. one of the most popular, if not the most popular, spring training team and they struggle to get their home announce crew on TV...go figure. almora/bryant/schwarber/contreras/zobrist/russell/heyward/baez/lastella

marlins vs u.miami called in the 7th because MIA had a 20 run lead.

way to lay into the college kids, guys.  great job.

Mazzoni claimed on waivers by the Dodgers.

My guess? The Cubs didn't want Mazzoni taking innings from Ryan/Hancock/Baldonado/Maples/etc.

 

More than willing to accept surrender value for him.

Ready for real baseball.

Feel like I had a fan hangover last year.  Wasn't really on top of my 2nd guessing batting orders and bullpen usage game until after the All Star game last year.  Didn't keep wearing the same pair of socks just because the Cubs won that day, Wasn't scaring the dog by screaming at the TV really until the playoffs last season. This year I feel better focused, good chemistry, and in the best shape of my life. Play ball!

Fan hangover: Me too. It has carried over into Spring Training--I've never cared less about Spring Training. There aren't even interesting questions about this team! Once the games count, I think my enthusiasm will return. I just want to see them play!

In reply to by Charlie

there was the question about who would lead off until heyward and almora performed like a couple guys you want to stash in the minors as soon as spring training is over. happ snagged that role quickly since no one put up any real competition. there was/is concern about strop's health, but having other good pen arms around helps. all in all...that's some low-drama stuff. it's not very interesting, but at least it's because there's strongly filled roles all over the team.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    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. 

  • crunch (view)

    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.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    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.

  • Eric S (view)

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

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

  • crunch (view)

    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...
