Cubs Triple Time It at Sloan Park

Submitted by Arizona Phil on

Yeison Santana belted a triple into the right-centerfield alley and scored in the 5th, Ed Howard smashed a line-drive triple off the LF fence and scored on the 6th, Jairo Diaz smacked a two-run triple to right in the 8th, and SP Jackson Ferris and RP Gleiber Morales each hurled three innings of shutout ball, as the Cubs defeated the Diamondbacks Red Squad 5-1 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Friday afternoon at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ.  

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. 

Prior to the game, Brailyn Marquez, Kenyi Perez, Jordan Holloway, Stephen Gonsalves, Mathew Peters, and JP Wheat threw bullpen side sessions on the 12-pack, and Drew Gray, Joel Sierra, Max Bain, and Wilbur Rodriguez threw "live" BP on Field #6.  

In his "live" BP, Drew Gray threw one "inning" (20 pitches - 14 strikes, including three called strikes, three swing & miss, six foul balls, and two balls in play, both pop flies). He threw nothing but FB.  

In EXST Cubs roster news, OF Cristian More has been moved-up to Lo-A Myrtle Beach. In nine Cactus League EXST games, More played all three outfield positions over the course of the nine games, and hit 316/350/526 with a double and a HR, two RBI, one run scored, one BB (5% walk rate), two K (10% K-rate), and two SB (no CS).

m.amaya is putting on a nice display with the bat in AA (.275/.412/.700) in 51 PA.  he's playing a bit of 1st along with the catching duties.  the only knock on his game so far is he's only thrown out 3 of 20 baserunners trying to steal off him.  he's been much better than this in the past.

still, 5 doubles and 4 homers in 51 PA.  looking forward to him moving up to AAA and seeing what he can do there.

if torrens doesn't make it through waivers and someone snags him, amaya could see the bigs even sooner than expected in case of injury.  torrens isn't a very good defender and his bat hasn't been hot, so i would kinda be surprised if someone does snag him.

Phil, since Torrens was DFAd within the first 30 days of the season, are the Cubs still on the hook for his entire $1,200,000 salary?

GEORGE A: The Cubs are on the hook for his entire 2023 salary unless Torrens gets claimed off waivers by another MLB club - OR - he gets outrighted and then elects free-agency (he is an Article XX-D player, so he has the right to elect free agency after being outrighted, or he can accept the outright assignment and defer free agency until after the conclusion of the MLB regular season).

the SF/SD game in Mexico City is running a bit long with small delays and high scoring.  there's a bit of a question from the announcers if the stadium lights are adequate enough to actually light the field if the game runs long enough to be in the dark.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

    Amen to that last point!
