The Colorado Rockies rallied from 4-0 and 6-2 deficits this afternoon, getting three runs in the seventh and eighth, to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers and run their Cactus League record to 3-1.
It was the Rockies' young guns who led the charge back, as talented short-stop prospect Hector Gomez went 2-2 with two runs and two RBIs, while first baseman Mike Paulk, catcher Mike McKenry, and second baseman Chris Nelson (on a suicide squeeze) all knocked in runs for the Rockies. Among hitters that will be on the Rockies' Opening Day roster, Dexter Fowler went 2-3 with a run while Ryan Spilborghs went 1-3 with a RBI. The Rockies also turned four double plays in the game.
Milwaukee jumped out ahead of Colorado thanks to a run in the first and three in the third. Tim Redding started for the Rockies, giving up one run on three hits in two innings and getting all of his outs on groundballs. Jhoulys Chacin followed Redding for the next two innings, and while all six of his outs came on groundballs, he had a rough go of it, giving up three runs on three singles and an error (by Paul Lo Duca) in his first inning and then walking two in the fourth. Al Alburquerque, acquired for Jeff Baker during the middle of last season from the Cubs, pitched the fifth, giving up two runs on a pair of doubles.
After Alberquerque, the Rockies pitchers settled down, getting scoreless innings from Edgmer Escalona, a finally healthy Shane Lindsay, Craig Baker (who took the win), and Andrew Johnston (who got the save). The Rockies didn't strike anyone and walked three.

It can't be that hard to move over to 2nd.
Would it?

I've never played middle infield (played corners and OF) so I can't say
Depends on repositioning and having a different awareness (i.e. if there’s a runner on, what’s your role in the DP, etc). Probably wouldn’t be TOO hard, but you’d have to be pretty conscious of it at first.

Agreed.
I’ve played both positions and it’s generally the same thing, but the angle from second is different, to say the least. I think Gomez should make the shift, but we’ll see.

Well EY2 isn't exactly the unquestioned 2B of the future
so it seems like there’d be more opportunity for Gomez there.

Or Nelson.
It was fun to see the two of them do a suicide squeeze together today.

I agree
At this point I don’t know if I want them performing at top notch status or just being healthy and producing for an entire season.

And it was really a poor showing for DeLuca at first…you know how the Dbacks were fielding in their first game? We looked like that for the first 4 innings…Spilly flubbed a few in right (though it was windy)…but the later innings we pulled together and worked like the well oiled machine we all know the Rox can be!

You spelled Al Alburquerque wrong.

I also think SBNation wants you to spell LoDuca as one word, since I see it didn’t link the post to his profile in the tag detection.

But that empty NL West standings widget looks awkward.
It’ll look better once the Rockies are at the top.

I have
a simple device that updates games every half inning, gives the upcoming 6 day schedule and the standings. This works for both regular season AND Spring Training games, meaning I have the top 5 teams in both Grape Fruit and Cactus Leagues shown.
