This is the output this is a I Wonder if he goes with his best pitch the splitter to pair off that fastball comes out It's another strikeout and six quick outs for Will Sanders to scoreless innings Gets a K to end the second nothing nothing here from Sloan Park That is smoked dead center field towards the track How about that He loves it in Arizona. He was your Arizona fall league breakout player of the year last year. How about some do that a few times? Yeah, how about that for a switch hitting catcher from the left side? See you later. Oh it airs one nothing cups This homerun replay is brought to you by Toyota the official of the Chicago Cubs. Hey, Jerry, you want to take this? Toyota's bringing it you want to take it home? That ball is smoked left field way back to the wall to the berm it's gone That's Kel Fountain He got 1.7 million dollars as a fifth round pick two years ago because he can hit the ball like that All-time, Nebraska high school homerun leader and just crushed a fastball there Light tower power solo shot. We're all tied up at one here in the third Wow So Jim just described Fountain the player how he can connect this is pretty much just a fastball Middle middle for Sanders and what we have seen to be very effective in the first couple of innings. So here's Jorge Quintana Oh to Wave it up this strike three. So another strikeout for Will Sanders first out here at the top of the third 25 pitches to go through 10 batters 20 strikes and he's just been pounding the zone pitch after pitch with all four offerings good play Rojas the first for the third out So a home run to them three outs. It's one to one middle three here from Sloan Park Get up the middle Spin throw to first it's wide run scores Back to ball skills there from Carter Trice and it's two to one Cubs So Jared you called you you wanted a little little bit up the middle and it was enough for a hard play for the short stop and Trice runs it out. Yeah, you need exactly put it in play make things happen score run Let's play by Alcantara to get to the ball Well, I mean it didn't feel that hard it is right there Ariel Armas Yeah, I want more of that that's great Yeah, Ari's a good guy back there making it easy on us giving us a good target. Got a good arm Great guy. I mean you kind of called the shot there You're just like through it you knew that he 20 degrees and snowing next week. We're out of here in a couple days That is blasted Right field to the lawn. It's gone Well, that is the number two ranked prospect in the Padre system Ticket it to San Diego soon. Ethan Salas to run blast And it's four to two hundred five miles an hour Alex I'll go say 105 miles an hour 393 feet. I think that was a changeup. He got there Looks something like spin. I think that was a 3-2 count. Maybe spin just up Honestly, no, there's a lot Wow, that's really far to the track Smoked way gone James called it Dead center 449 feet Alex 449 feet 108 miles an hour. That's a real wall scraper or as James says that's really far Sorry guys, sorry Yeah, when we had talked last you hadn't been able to talk much but oh my gosh Give me more That's two years in a row with a homer in this game for Ari to keep you play-by-play he's a good color guy That's a great call because we showed his home run from last year this game. All right, what'd you see off the bat? Ready for the fastball. He got it. We have your reaction. It's funny. He works his butt off Really good player really really good But it falls in for a basic cops trying to take the lead here Trace rounds third scores easily and the cops come back here in the six can't kept Lee RBI double. It's five to four cubs James you're good luck I'll know it might have to knock on wood. I Mean this is part of Kepley's game So we've seen him just put it in place sprayed around and here he goes the opposite way Kind of like an inside out but get some power behind it Got good speed makes his way around the bases around the score James do you talk about just loving the game? Loves the game and he loves to run six four cubs They gotta give you a lot of credit here this is part of when Kepley is on the base pads you get in a pitcher's head and Take advantage when you're Kepley Look at that and the balls basically was back at home plate. He still beats it You know immediately you're thinking bases loaded you want to come in and throw strikes But now how does he work his way back in this count? And so there with an off speed pitch and he strands the bases loaded This job by Rojas we are at stretch time from Sloan Park 6-4 Cubs lead Early, it's funny cuz spring. Ooh Least Medicare with the sound effect at Carter tries with the homer Everything I know is from James Triantos Those live in life via the long ball Carter trice adds to the home run party Solo shot it is seven to four cubs here at the bottom of the eighth Some kids get some souvenirs out on the berm Carter trice good contact. I mean, I think you could tell any it was got off the bat for my reaction Just solid contact taking advantage of a piss that pitch that's in the Need of the zone You know, sometimes you have guys who don't understand what it's like to prepare for pro ball Get out the center Sacrifice fly will trade an out for a run any day of the week Cubs will at this point Padres tacked on a run, but now they're down to their final out of the 7-5 game Padres down to their final out and down to their final strike splitter splitter Three two Fastball popped up left field catch me Cubs win Another spring breakout victory for the Cubs 8-3 last year 7-5 this year a 7-5 win over the Padres. I think this is a another great spring breakout game I think you're getting an idea of the talent in the Cubs system, but I thought this game really highlighted a lot of Names players and the potential and what they can do This was a lot more fun than the rain we had in 2024 Yeah, we guys we just talked about King Kepley how much fun he's gonna be How about Ariel Armas is our breakout star of the game second row with a home run? And he might be the best defensive catcher in the minor leagues I feel like we're gonna be talking about him a lot this year, too Some fun contributions tonight Alex going to lease manicured Jim cows guys I'll start with the least first any final words before we duck out of here. Hey, we're looking at James Triantos He was great on his call, right? I like that part to not baseball related But who knows maybe a future after the future part second baseman part broadcaster James Triantos with a nice run differential in the sixth inning Jim any final words before we duck out of here from you Yeah, we got to see I saw a lot of winners power in the following. We got to see it again tonight That's probably another guy who will be talking about this year. It's we need to get you circling back to Triantos We just need like an Iowa rain out on a Thursday and then we can have them drive Come into the studio and he could be like the extra guy at the desk for Road to Wrigley We have to make that happen. I mean, it's only three turns at 351 miles. So I think James could Not like I've done it before Guys, this is a lot of fun for Elise Medeker Jim Callison our entire crew.
