Cubs Encounter Rockie Road at Instructs

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Colorado Rockies 2021 4th round draft pick Hunter Goodman blasted a three-run HR, Rockies 2021 10th round pick Zach Kokoska belted a solo HR and singled, Juan Brito drilled a two-run double and a single, stole a base, and scored a run, Adael Amador (Rockies 2019 $1.5M IFA signing) singled, walked, stole a base, and scored a run, Rockies 2020 1st round pick Zac Veen lashed an RBI single, walked, scored a run, and threw out a runner on the bases from RF, and SP Brayan Castillo hurled four innings of one-hit shutout ball with seven strikeouts and combined with four relievers to throw a four-hitter with 13 strikeouts, as the Rockies whitewashed the Cubs 8-0 in AZ Instructional League game action Tuesday afternoon on Field #1 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.    

Parker Chavers laced a single and a double for the Cubs in a losing cause. 

The AZIL Cubs have not scored a run since last Thursday, having been shut-out three games in a row.

Hey AZ Phil,

We're always thankful for you keeping us in the loop. Any idea what kind of injury has kept Preciado out?

KKvG: I saw Reggie Preciado play in his last game with the ACL Cubs about a month ago, and he didn't appear to get hurt in the game. I suppose Something could have happened at Camp Day work-out the next day or he might be in a protocol or he could have taken personal leave. But he continues to be carried on the Cubs AZ Instructional roster (the one with the goofy uniform number issues). Same goes for Rafael Morel. 

Anyway, because the ACL Cubs roster had no player limit other than 60-day IL assignments, there was no way to tell for sure why a player wasn't playing. .

Congrats to Trent Giambrone on the MLB callup.

 

I'm guessing he might get the (non-tender/successor contract) treatment in early-December.

Cool stuff for Giambrone. I get why he isn't in the lineup tonight, but why is Martini playing over Deichmann?

Mind you I'm not thinking we get more out of Deichmann than Iowa shuttle maybe 4th OF over the next few years, but that's more than we'll get out of Martini.

Martini does have a .365 major league OBP and a 107 wRC+ in over 300 PAs. It always surprised me he couldn't stick anywhere and then got passed up consistently this season by the Cubs. But they have a lot of guys like him (lefty corner bat with modest power and difficulty v LHP). He's probably better than Deichmann or Heyward though.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    You have to C it! (tm)

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    Seiya on IL with an oblique strain

  • crunch (view)

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

  • George Altman (view)

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
