Javy Baez Bats Eight Times in Cactus League Extended Spring Training Doubleheader

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Justin Steele tossed three innings of one-hit shutout ball and Eloy Jimenez drove-in all three Cub runs with a two-run single and a sacrfice fly, as the Cubs and Giants played to a 3-3 tie on Field #1, and Dylan Davis belted a solo home run, a double, and an RBI single, and scored three runs, Steven Neff (ex-LHP) collected a single, a double, and a two-run triple, and Julio Pena slugged a solo home run, helping the Giants to an 8-4 victory over the Cubs on Field #2, in Cactus League Extended Spring Training split squad doubleheader action this morning at Indian School Park in Scottsdale, AZ.. 

The game on Field #1 was called in the 8th inning with the score tied, and the game on Field #2 was called after six innings of play. 

Danny Gutierrez drilled three hits (two singles and a double) in the game on Field #2, but he also committed two errors in LF, one by having a line-drive clank off his glove for a two-base error, and the other when he allowed a bouncing single to hop past him for a three-base error (the batter was able to circle the bases and score)  

Javy Baez played in the game on Field #1, batting eight times (once in each inning), and playing second-base for four innings before moving over to shortstop. He went 1-7 for the day... #1) roped a line drive single to left on a 1-0 pitch in the top of the first inning before scoring the Cubs first run of the day on a sacrifice fly; #2) grounded out sharply 5-3 on an 0-1 pitch in the top of the second inning; #3) struck out swinging on a 1-2 breaking ball in the third; #4) reached base after being hit by a pitch (upper left arm) on an 0-1 count and then scored a run in the fourth; #5) struck out swinging on a 2-2 breaking ball in the fifth; #6) lined out to right on a 1-1 pitch in the top of the sixth; #7) reached base on a throwing error by the Giants shortstop on a 2-2 pitch in the seventh, and #8) struck out looking on a 2-2 breaking ball in the top of the eighth. He handled four chances in the field flawlessly. 

In three Cactus League Extended Spring Training games (15 Plate Appearances) since returning from Bereavement Leave, Baez is 3-14 with two singles and a double, six strikeouts (five swinging), no walks, and one HBP.

Brief 2-1/2 inning intrasquad game on Field #6 at Riverview Park this afternoon.

LHP Sam Wilson (two innings), RHP Greyfer Eregua (two innings), and RHP Scott Frazier (one inning) were the pitchers. Because of his extreme control issues and because the Cubs want him to throw only to LH hitters, Frazier does not pitchi in Cactus League EXST games, but he does pitch once or twice a week in intrasquad or "sim" games (facing only LH batters).     

Calvin Graves slugged a HR off Wilson leading off the game. 

Javy Baez has left Mesa and is en route to rejoin the Iowa Cubs. 

RHP Pierce Johnson (lat strain) has been assigned to the Pitchers Rehab Group (with Carreno, Cease, Masek, Moreno, and Reed), but he is not yet ready to pitch in EXST games.

CRUNCH: A couple of the Cubs coaches told me over a year ago that they thought Frazier has the best pure stuff in the system. But then he apparently developed some kind of mental block the first Spring Training after he signed. BTW, he actually has the same type of problem with LH hitters that he does with RH hitters. It's just that he isn't as likely to hit a LH hitter. 

He was working consistently 96-98 and then hit 99 with his last pitch in the intrasquad game last Thursday, and he was throwing in the upper 90's last Monday and again today. . 

When he pitches in a game the other pitchers crowd around behind the screen to watch him throw, because none of the other pitchers down here can top 95.  

It's not too much fun for the batter or the catcher though, because a lot his pitches short-hop the catcher or are thrown behind the batter or ten feet up on the back screen. 

I don't think there is a more popular guy down here than Scott Frazier. Everybody wants him to get it back together. 

Frazier also finished second (to Billy McKinney) in the HR Derby at Instructs last fall. He has outstanding HR power. He was a two-way player (RHP-OF) in high school, and he would sometimes DH on days he wasn't pitching at Pepperdine.

    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.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • crunch (view)

    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.
