Strumpf Keeps Cookin' Arizona Taters

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Chase Strumpf blasted a solo HR over the LF fence to account for the only run of what was a very brief Cubs AZ Instructional League intrasquad game played Monday afternoon on Field #1 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.  

The Cubs AZIL game at Rockies was canceled, and only two of the Cubs pitchers scheduled to throw in the AZIL game ended up pitching in the intrasquad game.

The game was called with two outs in the top of the third inning after both pitchers completed their scheduled work.  

The DH was not used in the game (eight-man batting orders were employed instead) to maximize the number of plate appearances each position player would get over the course of the very short game.

Here is the box score from the game: 

CUBS SQUAD "A" LINEUP:
1. Cole Roederer, CF: 1-1 (BB, 1B+E8, CS)
2. Bryce Windham, 2B: 0-2 (K, F-8) 
3. Felix Stevens, RF: 0-1 (F-8)
4. Cam Balego, 3B: 0-1 (5-3)
5. Pablo Aliendo, C: 0-1 (6-3)
6. Rafael Morel, 3B: 0-0 (BB)
7. Luis Vazquez, SS: 1-1 (2B) 
8. Jacob Wetzel, LF: 0-1 (F-8)

CUBS SQUAD "B" LINEUP:
1. Kevin Made, SS: 0-2 (6-3, 1-3)
2. Andy Weber, 3B: 0-1 (F-8)
3. Nelson Velazquez, RF: 0-1 (K) 
4. Chase Strumpf, 2B: 1-1 (HR, R, RBI)
5. Ethan Hearn, C: 0-0 (BB) 
6. Matt Mervis, 1B: 0-1 (6-3) 
7. Yonathan Perlaza, CF: 0-1 (6-3)
8. Alfonso Rivas, LF: PLAYED DEFENSE ONLY - NO AB 

CUBS SQUAD "A" PITCHER: 
Ben Leeper: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 4/1 GO/AO, 33 pitches (17 strikes)|

CUBS SQUAD "B" PITCHER:

darvish/bauer/degrom CY finalists.

gotta imagine bauer is the odds favorite.

ross/mattingly/tingler MOY finalists.

mattingly taking the f'n marlins to the playoffs is going to get heavy props for an already popular guy around the game.  they lost 105 games last year (31-29 this year, first winning season since 2009).

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

  • Charlie (view)

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.
