Angels Pummel Cubs as Brett Jackson Completes Rehab

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

J. C. Rodriguez knocked-in six runs with an RBI single, a two-run double, and a three-run home run, leading the EXST Angels to a 10-2 thrashing of the EXST Cubs in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning at Diablo Park Field #3 in Tempe, AZ.

The game was extended an extra couple of innings so that all of the pitchers who were due to throw today could get their scheduled work.

OF Brett Jackson (on Tennessee Smokies DL with finger injury) completed his rehab assignment today in Tempe, playing six innings in CF and going 1-4.at the plate. The Cubs #1 position player prospect hit everything to the opposite field today, roping a line-drive RBI single over the shortstop’s head in his first AB, flying out to LF his next time up, getting called out on strikes (frozen by a slow curve) in his 3rd plate appearance, and grounding out to the shortstop in his final AB.

Over his two rehab games (eight PA) at EXST, Jackson hit 375/375/625 (1B, 4-3, K, 3B, 1B, F-7, K, 6-3). He will be rejoining the Tennessee Smokies on Monday.

Here is today’s abridged box score (Cubs players only)

1. Oliver Zapata, DH-CF: 1-4 (2B, K, 1-U, K, R)

3. Brett Jackson, CF-DH: 1-4 (1B, F-7, K, 6-3, RBI)
4. Dong-Yub Kim, DH #2: 1-3 (L-7, 1-3, 2B, R)

irod...with less than 170 hits from 3000 hits...has let Nats management know he doesn't want to be traded since the SF-needing-catcher rumors have swirled his name. odd. he'd see so many more ABs with someone who doesn't have a hotshot prospect C stealing starts from him. he already knows he's HOF bound, i guess...or he's too tired to start everyday...who knows.

per Rotoworld (with the Astros coming to town on Memorial Day): Wandy Rodriguez was scratched from his scheduled Saturday start on Friday, and will be replaced in the rotation by top Astros prospect Jordan Lyles, who will make his first career start on Tuesday at Wrigley Field. --- Cubs vs pitcher they've never seen: I see "L" flags

and a blast from the past (again, per Rotoworld)... Rich Harden (shoulder) had a successful 15-pitch bullpen session Saturday. The next step is to throw to hitters, but that hasn't been scheduled yet. --- 15 pitches gets him "deep" into the first inning, about the second hitter in the lineup

Reed Johnson to the DL with a weak back (ta da boom). muskat tweets a Brad Snyder sighting at Wrigley. Soto activated, koyie hill status remains useless but now less visible and w castillo gets to play with Iowa.

Game update: Cubs say it will not start on time, no time given, but they hope to get the game in. Storm is moving due East towards Wrigley, and I'm 30 miles from Chicago and it's not raining here, just looks like the aftermath of Armageddon. Maybe they'll get a window or two to play most of the game in.

now that the Mariners are in 2nd and back to .500, they might have some use for Fukudome and the Silva money back for a prospect. Campana's speed is a nice addition, sure makes more sense to lead him off though. Snyder (and probably Colvin shortly) can hold down RF and I'd surely be less depressed about watching someone who will be gone next year. 2-2, thanks to Campana's speed.

If the Cubs do in fact bring up D. J. LeMahieu and then option him back to the minors once Jeff Baker returns from the DL, LeMahieu would get a 4th minor league option year, as long as it is used prior to 2015. LeMahieu probably is the eventual heir to the Jeff Baker Roster Slot, just as Ryan Flaherty will very likely eventually fill the Blake DeWitt Roster Slot, and Steve Clevenger will take-over the Koyie Hill Roster Slot. A Flaherty/LeMahieu platoon at 3B in 2012 is a possibility, since I doubt that the Cubs will go outside the organization to replace Aramis Ramirez, especially if they put all of their available cash into the Prince Fielder Free-Agent Fund. Even if Josh Vitters does develop into an MLB everyday 3B, I doubt that he will be ready anytime before 2013.

Cubs pitching prospect Rob Whitenack has a strained elbow, according to a couple of Cubs people. That never sounds good, but the Cubs said they had no plans to bring Whitenack to Chicago to get looked at. That might be a good sign because they’re generally very cautious on these things. It’s something to keep an eye on, though. Bruce Miles Blog: http://blogs.dailyherald.com/node/5779

Wow. All MLB teams are wearing commemorative Memorial Day hats, which are butt ugly. They look like 1970's foam truckers hats. Red and white. Awful. The old ones they wore before with the regular hats with team logo in stars and stripes looked far better.

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate not only all your posts but how eager you are to respond to our questions.

    Is it just me or does it seem that official scorers are becoming less likely to call a misplay an error? 

     

    Guess I've hit my cranky old-man phase in life.  "I remember back in the day when an error was an error.  Official scorers have gone soft.  Now where did I put my readers?!!??"

     

    Sidenote, maybe Bellinger should be a little more careful against the Astros.  That was the series last year that a play at wall put him on the IL.

    i hated the almonte pickup, but he's 9-10 out of 12 for good outings, following a great spring.  hope he can keep it up.

    i already miss cooper, but yeah...the thin OF roster backup the team seems to want to carry probably got wisdom preference over cooper.  i could live without seeing wisdom at 3rd unless it's a blowout, though.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.
