Cubs vs. D-backs Game Highlights (4/17/24) | MLB Highlights

Cubs and Diamondbacks it’s been a wild
series so far we wonder what will happen
today right-hander Brandon fought gets
the baseball for the diamond back he’s
Bob had some tough sledding lately last
couple starts against Atlanta and St
Louis have been a little bit of a bumpy
ride 11 runs allowed in 11 and 2/3
Innings he and half the DH leads it on
lus guel has been busy out there in this
series and there’s one out for Brandon F
Danby Swanson having kind of a Quiet
Series Dansby one for 10 in the first
two games
in the air right field falling and it
falls for a hit in front of gritch this
is what we like to call a thing of
beauty for a hitter right off the end of
the bat going it’s a one out Knock for
Dansby Cody Bellinger the batter
Bellinger Scoops this very high in the
air to right field for Rand Richard out
number two just hope Bellinger stays
cold for another three at bats in this
ball game because you know at some point
he’s going to bust loose and start
hitting home runs in bunches the morel
bats clean up it up got a nice out with
a sweeper that time if we can get
somebody there Marte has got it and
Brandon CL strand that one out single
young left-hander ready to go to work
Wicks 0 and two this season his ER about
5 and A2 let’s see if he can get himself
into the win column today and the Cubs
catel Marte leading it off he was 0 for
four with an intentional walk in game
one but boy did he bounce back last
night scored three runs had four hits
including the biggest home run of the
year that line drive out near the the
pool in right centeral launches one high
in the air deep left field and it’s
gone it’s another leadoff home run for
catel Martin a one- nothing Diamond Back
lead well he said last night hey I’m I’m
strong he showed that he muscled up boy
that one was way up there talk about an
ambush first pitch of the bottom half of
the first inning catel Marte launches to
left field oh fast ball 91 belt High
inside part of the plate that’s a recipe
for a home run last night 23 runs 26
hits look out got him he’s got a guard
on there might have hit the guard just
like that in the dirt Corbin’s in at
second cuz this one didn’t get that far
away from going but he was as soon as he
saw that thing Hit the Dirt he was off
Corbin on the run and he’s in at third
stolen base number eight for Corbin
Carroll oh a great walking lead out
there Gomes had to rush his throw and
pull it into foul territory now all you
need is a Fly ball to medium depth
Outfield or a hard ground ball through
that infield so two big strikeouts gel
and then Walker now an opportunity to
get out of this first inning allowing
just the one run and now it’s
Suarez a line up the middle Corner
retrieves quickly throw a first pick
nice play and they keep it a one nothing
Arizona lead Brandon fought the early
lead here’s talkman the right fielder
called strike three n Tomlinson Rings
him up and that Sinker in there set off
the body Sinker and talkman caught
looking on Gomes to catcher first strike
out for
Brandon called strike three the Sinker
is there picks up two strikeouts in a
one two three second catel LED off four
different Innings last night had three
singles in the Home Run he’s LED off two
innings so far today and he’s two for
two Marte thinking double he’s hustling
into second and he’s in there head first
catel Marte a double starts us off in
the third a few years ago you wouldn’t
seen this from catel Marte but he’s
healthy his legs are strong this year
and his teammates have been doing this
with regularity so catel says I think I
can stretch this into a double there is
one out for Walker bouncing ball to
third glove by Morel step on the bag
rifles across the diamond that’s a
double play what an arm that Christopher
Morell showed a rifle across the diamond
Brandon F has set down six consecutive
Cubs he’s retired eight of the last nine
Christopher Morell bats clean up there’s
the sweeper strike out number three for
Brandon F who has set down a consecutive
CS Michael Bush the first baseman that
is strike three called two seamer just
caught a bit of the Inside Edge and
Brandon fought he’s on a bit of a heater
right now and it will be NCO horer Mike
tockman and Jon Gomes here in the top
half of the fifth that’s to third on the
turn drop by Suarez it’ll be an E5 and
Nico is AB board wow what a break Nico
actually started to break it down
running down the first Baseline assuming
he was an easy out so Nico represents
the tying run at first he’s got good
speed Mike talkman at the plate
left-handed batter swing and a highfly
ball trilled right field that one is
back and it’s off the base of the wall
hoer Racing for third n goes around
third out his way to the plate the throw
is too late Mike tochman in RBI double
and the Cubs have evened it up it’s 1-1
a rocket off the bat of tman making the
Diamondbacks pay for that miscue by
Suarez one-1 ball game The go-ahead Run
talk minute second here’s Jan G Ryan
drive and that’s a base hit out into
center field Willie Harris going to send
him Carol’s throw to the plate isn’t in
time tochman is in gos delivers and it’s
2-1 Coes after the bush bun single on
the second Brandon fought had retired
nine in a row he gets that little ground
ball off the bat of horer he’s feel like
I’m I’m in the groove and then boom boom
boom whack whack just like that he’s
down great swing by gos well the dags
going to get that offense going now they
Trail it two to one in the bottom of the
fifth Tucker Barnard drills one deep to
right center and that’s going to get to
the wall Diamond Backs trying to answer
back Bellinger can’t pick it up out
there but barnhard will settle for the
double Tucker barnhard a lay out to the
lineup Gabby Mareno is scratched and
it’s a good start to the fifth here’s
the dangerous catel Marte he’s two for
two switch hitter batting from the right
side that’s going to drop in there Marte
and RBI knock and we’re tied at two
catel three for three and a triple shy
of the cycle so they get that run right
back man he hot jeez this is what it
looked like all spring just barreling
balls all over the field one away here
in the sixth inning and the batter is
Cody Bellinger what a closely contested
Series this has been Swang and a highfly
ball trailed out towards right field
going back is gritch near the wall and
it’s gone Bellinger Parks it out by the
pool and the Cubs have a 32 Advantage a
belly bomb here in the desert the long
ball has been a big part of the Cubs
offense on this road trip Cubs could use
a big swing in the bat for master bony
drive in this fourth run this will be
Fat’s last batter Walker what a stab he
just saved a run the gold Glover with a
spectacular play robs the Cubs of a hit
probably runs a pitch hitter for Arizon
a Jace Peterson that’s rolled towards
third Morel off balance oh nice
play Christoper turning in a fine effort
here today on the defensive end yeah
after some struggles early on it started
to look smoother and smoother over there
at third base I’m not going to say he’s
a finished product but it’s been a heck
of a lot better okay with one away now
let’s see if Bellinger can drive him in
in the air flared towards left field
it’ll fall Swanson that one gets away
here comes Danby to the plate and he’s
in and they get some insurance now the
throw into Center Bellinger scrambling
for third he’ll stop there Cubs have a
42 lead and some shaky defense here
today by the
Diamondbacks as help the comes out yeah
just uh a little bit of a comedy of
errors for the Diamondbacks on this play
an intentional walk will be issued to
Morel putting minute first and third
Michael Bush coming up and that could be
a very big run at third the lead is two
great opportunity to get some
insurance up the middle in a base hit
there’s the insurance into to score is
Bellinger and Bush delivers against the
Lefty it’s 52 you ask for insurance boo
you got insurance Bush against the Lefty
stays right in there keeps that front
shoulder in pcks it right back through
the middle wesneski is the pitcher of
record in this game he came on in the
fifth that one is in there see you later
wisneski gets the punch out well what a
job by Hayden meski here today just
called up from Triple A Iowa coming
through in a big way here did he go yes
he did we toast you ha with neski he
fired up neski gets a big strike out he

win Jack Peterson scheduled and Craig
Council saying Drew Smiley you’re in the

  1. You can be a single, double, or even a home run short of the cycle. But you can never be a triple short because then you are not even close.

  2. We should really be at least 13-5 …. With the 8-0 lead our bullpen gave up and the leads from yesterday our bullpen gave up…. Bullpen needs work .. great job by wesnesky tonight … I'm not sure about almonte or Palencia being good enough

  3. For some reason outfielders just don't seem to be hustling to try and catch fly balls. Maybe because it's early and they don't want to potentially hurt themselves with a long season to go?

  4. Holy shxt morel has a cannon. Only other person I've seen throw that hard from 3rd was Miguel Sano, who's a monstrously large human with freakish strength

  5. You gotta love Morel! He's my all star! That guy can do anything… I'm sure if they needed an extra pitcher, he would pitch as a pro! I'm still thinking on those 2 losses against the Padres and Arizona… But we have the right mindset. Let's go CUBBIES!! 2016 all over again ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†
