A's Pitchers Whitewash Cubs at Fitch Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

SP Mitch Myers (A's 12th round pick in 2021 dtaft) and five relievers combined to toss a four-hit shutout and A's 2021 9th round pick Shane McGuire drilled a PH RBI single to highlight a two-run 5th, as the Athletics blanked the Cubs 2-0 in AZ Instructional League game action Saturday morning on Field #4 at the Lew Wolff Training Complex at Fitch Park in Mesa, AZ. 

Cubs SP Luis Devers hurled three innings of no-run / no-hit ball for the Cubs. Not counting 2021 draft picks who spent time in Mesa during the course of the ACL season, Devers was (by far) the ACL Cubs top pitching prospect, and probably should be considered one of the Cubs Top 15 pitching prospects going into the 2022 season.  

As was the case with many ACL games and is the case with most AZIL games, the contest was pre-planned as a seven-inning affair.  

Here is the abridged box score from the game (Cubs players only):  
CUBS LINEUP:
1. Parker Chavers, CF: 1-3 (1B, K, P-6, PO) 
2. Ed Howard IV, SS: 0-3 (3-U, 3-1, 4-3)
3. James Triantos, Jr, 2B: 1-3 (2B, 4-3, 4-3) 
4. Alexander Canario, LF: 0-3 (K, 1-3, F-8)
5. Yeison Santana, 3B: 1-2 (6-3, 1B, SB, PO) 
6. B. J. Murray, 1B: 0-2 (4-3, P-5)
7. Matt Mervis, DH #1: 0-2 (3-1, K) 
8. Peter Matt, RF: 1-1 (BB, 1B)
9. Malcom Quintero, C: 0-2 (F-9, F-8)
10. Christian Olivo, DH #2: 0-2 (F-7, 5-3)

CUBS PITCHERS: 
1. Luis Devers: 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K, 3/1 GO/AO, 40 pitches (31 strikes) 
2. Angel Gonzalez-Martinez: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R (1 ER), 2 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 1/2 GO/AO, 27 pitches (12 strikes)
3. Sheldon Reed: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 3 K, 1 GIDP, 1/0 GO/AO, 35 pitches (25 strikes) 

CUBS ERRORS: 3 
1. 3B Yeison Santana: E-5 (fielding error allowed batter to reach base safely) 
2. P Sheldon Reed: E-1 (errant pick-off attempt at 2nd base allowed runner to advance to 3rd)
3. SS Ed Howard IV: E-6 (fielding error allowed batter to reach base safely) 

CUBS CATCHERS DEFENSE:
Malcom Quintero: 0-2 CS 

ATTENDANCE: 17

PHIL: Thanks for the update on Devers. Are you able to give us some more context (velocity, pitch mix, etc)? Also, was Drew Gray included in the group you compared Devers to when you said Devers was "by far" the ACL Cubs best pitching prospect? I ask because I know Gray only pitched 4 innings this season. 

Thanks!

"On Wednesday, and again on Friday, manager Joe Maddon said the Angels needed to land two front-line starters or risk perpetual mediocrity. On Saturday, Mike Trout said the Angels had “a lot of money to spend” and the offseason was “going to be big.”"

$180.3m payroll and the star player + manager softly demanding more talent.

wait.  you can do that?

hey d.ross and...umm...hold up...do you have to have a star player to make this kind of demand?  sigh.

AZ Phil, I don't doubt that trading Hendricks to the Angels is a possibility, but even with Hendricks in the mix we're looking at a 2022 Cubs rotation needing at least two more starting pitchers to be added to the roster.  Trading Hendricks then gets rid of the presumptive Opening Day starter and creates yet another hole.

If the Cubs deal Hendricks, any thoughts as to the plan to replace him?

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.
