Roederer, Sanchez, and Suriel Slugging Highlights Cub Offense at Riverview

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Jason Hinchman laced a two-run double in the top of the 1st inning to put the Rockies on the board 2-0, then Cole Roederer hammered an oppo-field HR over the LF fence (his second bomb in two days) to open the bottom of the 1st inning and Adan Sanchez belted a solo HR one out later (extending his hitting streak to six games and his consecutive on base streak to ten games) as the Cubs tied up the game 2-2, then Roederer walked leading off the bottom of the 5th before Sanchez drove him in with a one-out double into the LF corner to give the Cubs a 3-2 lead, but then Dayan Jorge rifled a line-drive two-out two-run single into CF with the bases loaded off Daniel Palencia to put the Rockies back in front 4-3 in the 8th, and finally Lizardo Ruiz drilled a double down the LF line leading off the bottom of the 9th and scored the tying run on a two-out line-drive triple yanked into the RF corner by Anderson Suriel, as the two teams played to a 4-4 tie in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Friday morning on Field #6 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ. 

The game was called by mutual agreement with two outs in the bottom of the 9th after Suriel's game-tying triple.

Prior to the game, RHP Luis Devers and LHP Scott Kobos threw "live" BP on Field #5, with Alexander Canario among the batters who faced them.

AZ Phil, 

Is Palenica learning a new pitch by chance?

I know he might be moving to the pen, but Jensen and Luke Little just slid over. Palencia was put on the DevelopList.

Just seems curious.

Thanks

Noticed Cassie was taken out of the game after grounding out to short in the bottom of the 1st for Tennessee............also haven't seen PCA in the lineup for Tennessee since Tuesday.......

    Walker was a complimentary piece who was well past his prime. Edmonds, Holliday, Ozzie Smith and a few others were good trades. Notably, they have almost always been quiet in the free agent market. But the fundamental workings of the organization were always based primarily upon the constant output of a well oiled minor league organization. That organization has ground to a halt. And when did that hard stop start to happen? Right at the beginning of the Goldschmidt/Arenado era, perpetuated by the Contreras signing, followed by the rotation purchases during the last offseason. The timing is undeniable and, in my mind, not coincidental.

    Again, we are all saying that player development became deemphasized. I’m just linking it directly to the recent trades and involvement in the free agent market. I don’t see how the two concepts can be decoupled.

  • Charlie (view)

    The Cards also traded for both Jim Edmonds and Larry Walker. It's the developing part that has fallen off. Of course, it could also be the case that there are no more Matt Carpenters left to pull out of the hat.

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    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.
