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?

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
