Cubs Lay Sweet Sixteen on Snakes at Salt River Fields

Miguel Amaya reached base four times (RBI triple, RBI single, and two walks), drove-in a third run with a sacrifice fly, scored two runs, and threw out a runner on the bases, Joe Martarano reached base five times (a double, two singles, a walk, and an HBP), scored two runs, and drove-in another, Tolly Filotei reached base four times (a double, two singles, and an HBP), drove in two runs, and scored two more, Rafael Narea singled twice, reached base on an HBP, stole three bases, scored three runs, and knocked-in two more, Rafael Mejia doubled twice, walked, drove-in two runs, and scored two runs, and Jose Gonzalez reached base four times (a two-run single, two walks, and an HBP), scored a run, and threw out a runner on the bases, as the Cubs demolished the Diamondbacks 16-8 on Jackrabbit Field, and Eudy Ramos belted a two-run triple and Yan Sanchez blasted a two-run HR to highlight a five-run 4th and SP Connor Grey hurled four innings of one-run ball, as the D'backs edged the Cubs 5-4 on Whirlwind Field, in Cactus League Extended Spring Training doubleheader action Friday morning at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Resort east of Scottsdale, AZ.    

All nine players scored at least one run for the Cubs on Jackrabbit Field, and eight of the nine had at least one hit (the Cubs had 16 hits total).   

The Cubs were the "home" team on Jackrabbit Field, and the game was extended an extra half-inning so that all of the Cubs pitchers who were scheduled to throw in the game could get their work. 

Here are the abridged box scores from the two games (Cubs players only):

HAGSAG: As things stand right now, I would say Jose Albertos, Javier Assad, Jesus Camargo, and Enrique de los Rios will very likely be the starters at Eugene when the NWL season begins, with Erling Moreno the other one if he doesn't go back to South Bend before NWL Opening Day, otherwise Manuel Rodriguez or one of the guys up from the DSL that are at EXST (Hector Garcia, Carlos Ocampo, Brailyn Marquez, Yunior Perez, or Faustino Carrera) as a place-holder until one of the Cubs 2017 June draft picks (TBA) is ready to go as a starter at Eugene.

And then M. Rodriguez, H. Garcia, Ocampo, Marquez, Y. Perez, and/or Carrera will be the starters for the AZL Cubs (not all six, but the AZL Cubs rotation will come from that group).

Andry Rondon, Junior Marte, and Nathan Sweeney have been moved to the bullpen, although any of them could be stretched-out as a starter at some point.

And 2016 draft picks Bailey Clark and Stephen Ridings (who are throwing "live" BP but not yet in Cactus League EXST games) could eventually be stretched-out to start at Eugene or AZL Cubs as well.

And as things stand right now, the Eugene Opening Day bullpen will likely be Mark Malave, Luis Aquino, Elvis Diaz, Andin Diaz, Holden Cammack, Jed Carter, Andry Rondon, Yapson Gomez, and Junior Marte. 

Does anybody know why Dylan Cease is on the 7-Day-DL? Please tell me it has nothing to do with TJS

    I’ve got Tim’s The Last Out too, along with some other prints of his work.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

  • azbobbop (view)

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3)

    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls
