Saturday 10/29: Box / Log Busy day for Jackson Chourio - 2-for-4 with a double and single, run scored in a 6-1 loss. He threw out a man at the plate late in the game with a direct throw from center field. But the game was pretty much determined back in the 2nd inning. With runners on 1st and 3rd for the opponents and two out, there was a ground ball single to Chourio in CF, he was charged with an error and three runs scored, including the batter. As one fan commented: "Jackson Chourio looked a little nonchalant, looking for the ball after the mistake he made, he was practically jogging, an error that marked the game by the way." As for another center fielder, Esteury Ruiz: Box / Log 2-for-4 with a double and single, run scored in a 5-3 loss. Ruiz played clean defense, but he was thrown out trying to steal.

Saturday 10/29: Glendale loses 10-3, in seven innings. Box / Game Log RHP Abner Uribe entered in the top of the 7th, his team down 7-3, and allowed three unearned runs, so while he lowered his ERA it wasn't pretty as the game log will show under "all plays". Three Desert Dog errors in the frame, including another by Uribe - plenty of PFP ("Pitchers' Fielding Practice") coming next spring training for Abner. 1B Zavier Warren was 0-for-2 with two walks, and his line is now .352/.507/.463 (.970 OPS) seventeen games into his fall season. Good to see catcher Jeferson Quero back, shaking off the effects of his mid-game flu-like symptoms earlier this week. Quero also walked twice, striking out on an official 0-for-1 day. Baserunners were 2-for-2 against Quero, but we'll totally blame the Glendale pitchers. Quero also committed his third error of the fall, this one on a pickoff throw. Je'Von Ward is going to pick up at-bats in the absence of Tyler Black's thumb fracture. Playing left field, Ward was 0-for-2 with a walk. In all, Glendale batters drew ten walks but managed only two base hits. Currently the video archive of this game sits at the "Live Stream" page - Mesa at Glendale. Some prior games discussed in this thread can be found on the site's archive page, where this game will be shifted to at some point. Next game is Tuesday afternoon. *** Batting Statistics: Zavier Warren, Je'Von Ward, Jeferson Quero, Tyler Black Pitching Statistics: Russell Smith, Abner Uribe, Ryan Middendorf, Luis Contreras; yet to pitch, RHP Logan Henderson

Sigh, well, see you in the spring Tyler, and get all these in-game injuries out of the way before you reach "The Show":

OF Esteury Ruiz made his Dominican Winter League debut Friday. (box score / game log). Playing CF, Ruiz was 0-for-3 but drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. He's playing for the same Toros club as catcher Brian Navarreto.

Chourio finished 0-for-5, flying out in the one at-bat after the game resumed. His team won, 7-2. *** The regularly scheduled nightcap was cut short to just five innings as weather continues to wreak some havoc in Venezuela. Chourio was 0-for-2 but drew an intentional walk and scored. Assume that Chourio is playing CF unless we note otherwise. Having lost the earlier home run due to game cancellation, Jackson's line after five games is 5-for-19, one walk, five K's, 1 SB, 2 CS.

Friday 10/28: Glendale rolls 11-1 in a seven-inning game to move back to .500 at 10-10, but loses Tyler Black to an apparent hand injury. Box / Game Log RHP Luis Contreras made his 5th appearance of the season, throwing a scoreless 5th with two strikeouts (one HBP). Cleanup hitter 1B Zavier Warren rolls along, 2-for-4, run scored, four RBI. Warren drove in two runs on a first inning line drive single, and then two more on a line drive triple in the 5th. Through 16 games, he sports a .988 OPS. Je'Von Ward was the DH, seeing action in his 9th game. Ward singled and walked in four plate appearances, scoring and driving in a run. Playing center field in this one, Tyler Black flied out in his first trip to the plate. Leading off the 4th inning, Black reached on a line drive double to center, but then was immediately lifted for a pinch-runner. Here is the video archive of this game. Go to the 58:40 mark, you will see Black line the first pitch of his at-bat to left-center and then hustle-dive hands first into second base. After a second or two on his knees including a slap of the ground, Black pops up and moves away from the base towards the dugout shaking his hand. Black had no doubt he was immediately going to leave the game, didn't wait for a trainer. The opposing pitcher, wary of the pitch clock, was set up for the next at-bat, not realizing Black had pulled himself from the proceedings. Hopefully won't end Black's Arizona season, but that didn't look so great. Next game is Saturday afternoon. *** Batting Statistics: Zavier Warren, Je'Von Ward, Jeferson Quero, Tyler Black Pitching Statistics: Russell Smith, Abner Uribe, Ryan Middendorf, Luis Contreras; yet to pitch, RHP Logan Henderson

So, Jackson Chourio's Thursday game was again interrupted by rain, but this time they have already announced it will be completed prior to a regularly scheduled game Friday. Tied at 2-2 in the 7th, Chourio is 0-for-4 thus far, one K, again in CF.

We can certainly continue to follow Mejia now that he's back with the Crew for 2023 - minor league deal, big league camp invite.

Thursday 10/27: Glendale falls, 9-6. As Joseph mentioned in the post above, one outing sours LHP Russell Smith's ERA - 0.90 through three starts, now 5.06. Box / Game Log Hello again, Zavier Warren, on base all five plate appearances - two singles, three walks. Line is now .354/.508/.438 after 48 AB's. The 23-year-old switch-hitter (24 in January) has been entrenched at first base all fall season. Now at 14 walks, only seven K's. Tyler Black 0-for-5 in this one, two K's. RHP Ryan Middendorf tossed a scoreless 9th, allowing just a ground ball single to left, striking out one. Currently the video archive of this game sits at the "Live Stream" page - Salt River at Glendale. Some prior games discussed in this thread can be found on the site's archive page. Next game is Friday afternoon. *** Batting Statistics: Zavier Warren, Je'Von Ward, Jeferson Quero, Tyler Black Pitching Statistics: Russell Smith, Abner Uribe, Ryan Middendorf, Luis Contreras; yet to pitch, RHP Logan Henderson

There were conflicting reports online as to whether the game would be suspended and picked up from the point of rain or made up in its entirety. It now appears the game is officially listed as postponed and thus young Mr. Chourio's first winter league HR of 2022 will indeed be vanished off the books, but remain in all our memories thanks to the video.
