Dominican Summer League Cardinals Notebook 8-8-16



The Dominican Summer League Cardinals opened up the schedule winning their first five games but ended on a loss.  The team is 34-20 with a .630 PCT and are six games behind the first place Rockies, who have won 17 straight games.  They are 18-9 at home and 16-11 on the road.

Week In Review:

August 1, 2016: The Cardinals began the week with a two-game series against the Brewers.  Both teams exchanged runs in the first, then the Redbirds plated three over the third and fourth innings to take the lead.  The Cardinals came through with another two runs in the seventh and held the Brew Crew out until the ninth inning.  Edwar Ramirez struck out three and allowed one run over six innings in the start.  Brian Sanchez doubled and drove in two runs.

August 2, 2016: The Cardinals hosted the Brewers for the second game of the series.  The Brew Crew scored first in the second but the Redbirds answered back with two in the bottom half, then tacked on three in the third, four in the fourth, and two more in the fifth.  The Cardinals pitching was solid shutting out the Brewers from the third to seventh innings.  The Brew Crew added one in the eighth but fell far short.  Noel DeJesus struck out five and allowed one run over six innings.  Brian Sanchez singled, homered, and drove in four runs and Dariel Gomez added two doubles and four RBIs.

August 3, 2016: The Cardinals welcomed in the Yankees Two club for the beginning of a two-game series.  The Redbirds offense carried over the offensive explosion from the previous game by scoring two in each of the first, third, fourth, fifth, and six innings and also plated four in the second for the 14 runs.  The Yanks only managed three runs in the fourth and one in the sixth as the Cardinals easily claimed the contest.  Francis Ventura pitched three relief innings and allowed one run and struck five out.  Enrique Perez followed with two scoreless innings and struck out four.  Dariel Gomez singled, doubled twice, and drove in four runs.

August 4, 2016: The Cardinals visited the Yankees Two in the second game of the series.  The Redbirds offensive kept burning as they scored three in the second and two in the fourth.  The Yanks stayed out the game and didn't show up until the seventh with two runs and didn't score again.  Johan Oviedo struck out six over three and two-thirds innings in the start.  Fabian Blanco struck out five of six batters faced and held the bases loaded on entry.  Oscar Cotes singled and hit a solo home run.

August 5, 2016: The Nationals visited the Cardinals to kick off the final two-game series for this report.  The Redbirds started things off with five runs over the first three frames to the Nats two.  The Nationals came back with five over the fifth through seventh and the Cardinals only score one.  The Nats racked on another in the ninth hoping for the victory but the Redbirds plated two in the bottom half to send it into extras.  Both clubs exchanged zeroes until the bottom of the 12th where the Cardinals picked up the win.  Wilfredo Pereira struck out three over the final three scoreless innings.  Oscar Cotes singled, tripled, walked, and drove in two runs.  Carlos Luis collected two singles and two RBIs.

August 6, 2016: The Cardinals, looking to sweep the week, visited the Nationals in the final game.  The Nats scored first with a run in the opening inning and both teams exchanged two in the third.  The Nationals plated two more in the fourth and another in the sixth, while the Redbirds only managed two in the eighth.  Wilman Madera finished off the contest with two scoreless innings and struck one out.  Oscar Cotes singled, doubled, and drove in two runs.

Who's Hot:

Brian Sanchez extended hit on-base streak to 14 games.  The 20-year old right-handed hitter went 7-for-19 (.368) with two doubles, one home run, eight RBIs (two w/two-outs), one run, one walk, two hit by pitches, and six strikeouts.  He played all six games in right field and had one outfield assist.  The November 11, 2014 free agent signing leads the team in hits, triples, home runs, RBIs, total bases, OBP, SLG, and AVG.

Oscar Cotes will look to add to his six-game on-base streak which includes a four-game hit streak.  The 19-year old right-handed hitter went 6-for-13 (.462) with two doubles, one triple, one home run, five RBIs (two w/two-outs), three runs, one walk, one stolen base, and three strikeouts.  He played one game at shortstop, one at third base (assisted in one double play), and one at second base (assisted in one double play).

Dariel Gomez has a five-game on-base streak to build on in the next week.  The 20-year old left-handed hitter went 7-for-27 (.259) with five doubles, two runs, five two-out RBIs, one walk, three strikeouts, and grounded into one double play.  He played all six games at first base and assisted in five double plays and committed one throwing error.  The December 9, 2013 free agent signing is tied for the team lead in doubles.

Moises Castillo ended this report on a nine-game hitting streak.  The 17-year old right-handed hitter went 10-for-20 (.500) with two doubles, four RBIs, nine runs, five walks, one sacrifice, and one strikeout.  He played all five games at shortstop and assisted in four double plays and committed one throwing error.  The July 14, 2015 free agent signing leads the team in errors.

Noel DeJesus bounced back from his shorted start of his career.  The 19-year old right-hander started on August 2 and pitched six innings allowing five hits, one earned run, one walk, threw one wild pitch, and struck five out for the winning decision (4-2).  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 6-to-2.  The July 2, 2015 free agent signing leads the starting rotation in ERA and WHIP and is tied for wins.

Who's Not:

Julio Rodriguez ended a three-game hitless streak in his final game of this report.  The 19-year old right-handed hitter went 1-for-15 (.067) with three RBIs, two runs, four walks, two sac flies, and one strikeout.  He played all four games behind the plate and threw out one of three base runners.

Raffy Ozuna has not collected a hit in his last five games and only two in his last 12 played.  The 17-year old right-handed hitter went 0-for-9 (.000) with one run, one walk, and five strikeouts.  He played all three games as designated hitter.

Junior Gonzalez has been hit hard in his last three of four starts.  The 19-year old right-hander started on August 5th and coughed up six hits, six runs (five earned), one home run, hit one batter, threw one wild pitch, and struck six out over five innings.  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 7-to-1.  The February 10, 2014 free agent signing leads the team in losses, inning pitched, hits allowed, runs allowed, earned runs, and has the worst ERA in the starting rotation.

Angel Rondon struggled with his control in his latest start.  The 18-year old right-hander started on August 3rd and allowed two hits, three earned runs, three walks, and struck three out.  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 2-to-3.  The January 6, 2016 free agent signing leads the team in strikeouts with 42 over 37 innings.

Winston Nicacio has given up two or more runs in his last seven games pitched and was also bumped from the starting rotation.  The 19-year old right-hander was called on for the August 4th and gave up two hits, two earned runs, four walks, hit one batter, threw two wild pitches, and struck four out over two and two-thirds innings.  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 4-to-0.

Notes:

Andres Luna has been out since July 9th, Brian Pirela (unknown injury) since July 23rd, and Hector Linares since July 30th.

Carlos Luis returned to action after missing a little over two weeks and extended hit on-base streak to 19 games.  The 19-year old right-handed hitter went 3-for-4 (.750) with two RBIs and one run.

Jonathan Machado and Leandro Cedeno (16-game on-base streak) only played in two games each.

Dominican Summer League Cardinals Notebook 7-25-16



The Dominican Summer League Cardinals took four of seven games during this report and ended losing the final contest.  The Redbirds are 28-14 with a .667 PCT and allowed the Rockies, who they have a critical series coming up with, to tiptoe into a two-way tie for first place in the San Pedro Division.  They are 14-7 at home and 14-7 on the road.

Week In Review:

July 18, 2016: To get things started in the second half, the Cardinals hosted the Yankees Two.  The Redbirds came out of the gate swinging and pounded out five runs in the first two frames for a 5-1 early lead.  The Yanks plated two in the fourth and the Cardinals responded with six more runs in the sixth.  With a 11-3 lead, the Redbirds coughed up four in the ninth and held onto the game for the win.  Enrique Perez struck out one over one and a third hitless/scoreless innings.  Julio Rodriguez walked, homered, and drove in three runs and Brian Sanchez came up a home run short of the cycle with two RBIs of his own.

July 19, 2016:  The Yankees Two welcomed in the Cardinals for the second game of the set and flipped the tables from the previous contest.  This time around the Yanks came out roaring out with 12 runs in the first four innings to the Redbirds one.  The Cardinals made no dent in the lead only scoring another three runs with the Yankees adding one more for a 13-4 loss.  Leandro Cedeno singled and hit a solo home run.  Wilman Madera put a stop to the bleeding by holding two inherited runners on and getting his only batter out in the fourth inning.

July 20, 2016:  The Nationals visited the Cardinals to complete the July 2nd contest and a regular game would follow.  The Redbirds bats, alive again, pushed nine runs across the plate in the first three frames to the Nats one.  The Cardinals added another three in the sixth and seventh, combined, while the Nats only managed another two for the 12-3 win.  Julio Rodriguez singled, tripled, and drove in four runs.  Edwar Ramirez bounced back from a rough week by allowing four hits, two earned runs, one walk, and striking out four over five innings of relief for the win.  Brian Pirela cleaned up with two scoreless innings.

July 20, 2016: The Cardinals hosted the Nationals in the second game of the doubleheader.  The Redbirds bats went silent and the Nats pitching dominated the contest.  The Cardinals only collects three hits and plated one run in the 3-1 loss.  Oscar Cotes knocked in one run in the bottom of the seven inning.  Enrique Perez tossed two scoreless frames.  Cristhian Lugo held two inherited runners on base and struck out two of four batters faced to finish off the game.

July 21, 2016: In the third game of the series, the Cardinals went out on the road to face the Nationals.  The Redbirds took an early 3-0 lead after four innings and the Nationals came back to tie and send into extras.  The Cardinals slipped a run across in the top of the tenth for the victory.  Brian Sanchez singed twice, homered, and drove in two runs.  Noel DeJesus struck out five over six scoreless innings.

July 22, 2016: The Cardinals visited the Braves in the final series of this report.  The Redbirds scored two in the first and both teams went silent until the fourth.  The Cardinals rallied with eight runs over the fourth through sixth innings and the Braves plated four over the fifth through seventh innings.  Both team exchanged runs in the ninth as the the Redbirds took the game with ease at 11-5.    Leandro Cedeno singled twice, tripled, walked twice, and drove in a career-high four runs.  Angel Rondon struck out a career-high eight batters and allowed one run over five innings for the win.

July 23, 2016:  The Cardinals hosted the Braves in the second game of the series and had the tables turned.  Each team scored three runs in the first inning and then the Braves took off in the third with two runs then plated another seven over the eight and ninth innings.  The Redbirds went scoreless for the final eight frames for the 12-3 loss.  Brian Pirela and Enrique Perez combined for three strikeouts over three scoreless innings and Leandro Cedeno doubled in one run.

Dominican Summer League Cardinals Notebook 7-4-16



The Dominican Summer League Cardinals claimed all five games played this week and have taken eight of their last nine.  The Redbirds ate 19-5 with a .792 PCT and are three games ahead of the second place Rockies in the San Pedro Division.  They have a 10-2 record at home and are 9-3 on the road.

Week In Review:

June 27, 2016: The Cardinals visited the Angels to open this weeks notebook.  The Redbirds and Halos pitching each dominated until the sixth inning.  The Cardinals plated four in the sixth, one in the seventh, and four more in the eighth while the bullpen held the Angels out of the game.  The Halos issued a total of 17 walks and only four hits to the Redbirds.  Junior Gonzalez struck four four over six scoreless innings and Estailin Tejada and Cristhian Lugo combined for three scoreless to follow.  Julio Rodriguez singled, walked twice, and drove in two runs.

June 28, 2016: Cardinals at Brewers was postponed

June 29, 2016: The Cardinals hosted the Brewers in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday.  The Redbirds scored first but Brewers took the lead and held on until the eight and final inning.  William Jimenez collects two singles and two RBIs and Elehuris Montero came up a home run short for the cycle and drove in two runs.  Fabian Blanco held the bases loaded and struck out two over one and two-third scoreless innings for the win.

June 29, 2016: The Cardinals visited the Brewers for the Tuesday makeup game.  The Redbirds came out of the gate swinging, scoring four runs in the first inning.  The Cardinals then added another run in each of the third and fourth frames as the Brewers plated only one.  The Brewers got within reach with three in the sixth but the Redbirds slammed the door shut with five in the seventh.  Angel Rondon, in a spot start, struck out four over four scoreless innings.  Hector Linares hit a grand slam and also added two singles and one RBI.  William Jimenez collected two singles and two RBIs.

June 30, 2016:  The Cardinals welcomed in the Yankees Two for the final game of the month of June.  The Redbirds jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.  The Yankees committed a total of seven errors which contributed to a couple Cardinals runs.  Edwar Ramirez struck out four and allowed one run over five innings for the win.  Julio Rodriguez singled twice and drove in three runs.

July 1, 2016: In the second game of the series, the Cardinals visited the Yankees Two.  The Redbirds scored three runs in the first and the Yanks followed with one in the bottom half.  Both team's pitching staffs turned it on and didn't allow a run for the remainder of the contest.  Noel DeJesus struck out four and allowed one run over five innings for the win.  Wilman Madera, Cristhian Lugo, and Fabian Blanco combined for five strikes out over four scoreless innings on the back half.  Oscar Cotes doubled and drove in one run and Carlos Luis singled twice and had one RBI.

July 2, 2016: Nationals at Cardinals was suspended.

Who's Hot:

Carlos Luis has a 12-game on base streak that includes hitting safely in four consecutive and scoring at least run in five straight games.  The 19-year old right-handed hitter went 6-for-18 (.333) with one triple, three RBIs (two w/two-outs), six runs, one walk, one hit by pitch, and four strikeouts.  He played five games in left field and committed one fielding error.  The November 27, 2013 free agent missed all last season with an undisclosed injury and leads the team in triples.

Julio Rodriguez extended his on base streak to nine games and had it snapped in the final game of this report.  The 19-year old right-handed hitter went 5-for-12 (.417) with six RBIs, three runs, two walks, one sac fly, and one strikeout.  He played four games behind the plate and threw out one of two base runners.

Noel DeJesus is becoming a solid arm in the rotation making now four of five quality appearances.  The 19-year old right-hander made his start on July 1st and allowed one hit, one unearned run, three walks, threw one wild pitch, and struck four out over five innings for the winning decision (3-0).  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 6-to-5.  The July 2, 2015 free agent signing leads the team in wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, and leads all starting pitchers in ERA and WHIP.

Junior Gonzalez turned things around after getting hit hard in his last start.  The 19-year old right-hander started on June 27th and tossed six scoreless frames allowing only one hit, two walks, and struck four out  for the win (2-1).  He had a ground out-to-fly ratio of 9-to-1.

Edwar Ramirez did a complete transformation from how he has pitched all season in his latest start.  The 18-year old right-hander opened the June 30th contest going season-high five innings and giving up three hits, one unearned run, two walks, committed one pickof error, struck four out, and assisted in one double play for the winning decision (1-0).  He had a ground out-to-fly ratio of 6-to-2.

Fabian Blanco has not allowed a run in his last six relief appearances this season, spanning 8.1 innings.  The 18-year old left-hander was called from the bullpen on June 29th and threw one and two-thirds hitless/scoreless innings, walking two and striking out two for the winning decision (2-0).  On July 1st, he tossed one hitless/scoreless inning and again gave up two walks and struck two out.  Blanco had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 2-to-0 and held the bases loaded in his first game of this notebook.  The August 6, 2014 free agent signing leads the club in saves and all relievers in strikeouts.

Who's Not:

Brian Sanchez has an eight-game on base streak but hasn't connected for a hit in his last three games and has struck out at least once in his last seven games.  The 20-year old right-handed hitter went 1-for-13 (.077) with three runs, five walks, and six strikeouts.  He played four games in right field.  The November 11, 2014 free agent signing leads the team in hits, home runs, RBIs, total bases, OBP, SLG, and AVG.

Dariel Gomez has only managed one hit in his last six games.  The 19-year old left-handed hitter went 1-for-16 (.063) with one RBI, two runs, five walks, two strikeouts, and grounded into one double play.  He played five games at first base where he assisted in four doubles plays nd committed one missed catch error.

Esequeil Delgado has reached base safely in 15 games but has not connected for a hit in two straight games.  The 18-year old switch-hitter went 1-for-13 (.077) with one RBI, one run, five walks, one sacrifice, two strikeouts, and one caught stealing.  He played four games at second base.  The July 3, 2014 free agent signing currently has the worst AVG on the club.

Jesus Garcia has allowed two or more runs in his last four relief appearances.  The 18-year old right-hander entered the June 29th game and gave up three hits, three runs (two earned), two walks, and struck two out.  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 2-to-2.  The November 7, 2014 free agent signing has the worst ERA and WHIP on the pitching staff.

Wadye Ynfante and Leandro Cedeno each only played in two games, Diego Cedeno last pitched on June 24th, and Andres Luna last played in June 9th.

Estailin Tejada returned to action after missing three weeks and pitched in two games allowing one hit, no runs, one walk, and struck five out and earning one save.
