Rockies 6, Mets 5 & Rockies 9, Mets 4 - Daily Doubles

Game One
In yet another game this week, the Rockies overcame an early deficit on the road. Greg Reynolds, whose start today is likely his last for the MLB club for some time, matched Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey's success for the first three innings, only to encounter some trouble in the fourth. A sloppy inning, including a walk to Ike Davis and a wild pitch allowing David Wright to advance after doubling to lead off the inning, allowed New York to plate two runs.
The Rockies began their midgame surge of offense in the fifth when Jose Morales scored on a Seth Smith groundout. Things continued in the sixth when J. Morales doubled in Ian Stewart and Jason Giambi, his first hit of the season with limited playing time. In the sixth, Carlos Gonzalez finally knocked a ball over the wall for the first time this season, a two run shot that also scored Smith. Troy Tulowitzki followed with another home run, taking the run count to 6. Tulowitzki was 3-4 on the day with a walk.
Following G. Reynolds in relief was Franklin Morales, who led off the inning with a walk but then produced a double play. On a Willie Harris grounder to Giambi at first base, F. Morales' ankle was injured in an unusual play where Harris stepped on it while Franklin was covering the base. Matt Belisle entered the game, who would stay in the game for the next two innings, helping save some of the bullpen for Game Two. Belisle allowed a Jose Reyes home run, lessening the lead to three runs, but was otherwise effective. Matt Reynolds got the final out of the eighth.
Jim Tracy tabbed the heavily worked Huston Street to once again pitch the ninth, now that it was a save situation. After a quick first out and a walk to Harris, Rockies nemesis Scott Hairston took Street deep to cut the lead to one. Josh Thole singled to bring the winning run to the plate in pinch hitter Carlos Beltran, who also followed with a single. With Street clearly not in top form and having thrown 30 pitches, Matt Lindstrom was brought in to finish the inning. Reyes hit a ground ball to second base, advancing pinch runner Chin-lung Hu to third base as Jose Lopez elected to make the out at 2B. After battling control problems for the next two batters, the ugly ninth inning ended in favor of the Rockies as David Wright flew out to Smith.
Whew.
Greg Reynolds got the win, his first decision since 2008. He was rewarded for his win with a demotion to make room for Alan Johnson on the 25 man roster. Such is life; when Ubaldo Jimenez is coming back to your team, room must be made.

Game Two
In all four games, the Rockies came from behind at least once to overcome a Mets lead.
The Mets got started earlier this time with a two run double from backup catcher Mike Nickeas in the second inning, bringing around Ike Davis and Scott Hairston. The Rockies retaliated in the top of the third when Chris Iannetta, who doubled, was brought home by a Dexter Fowler single. After a Jonathan Herrera single moved Fowler to third, Carlos Gonzalez grounded into a force out allowing Fowler to score and tie the game.
Jorge De La Rosa failed to contain the Mets again in the fourth inning, as Jose Reyes, who had been struggling with runners in scoring position, singled in two more runs with a ball that slid just between middle infielders Troy Tulowitzki and Jonathan Herrera.
Come the sixth, Troy Tulowitzki hit yet another home run, making it seven on the year. The Rockies would tie again as De La Rosa grounded out with one out on the inning, and a fumble by second baseman Brad Emaus on the feed to Reyes at shortstop prevented the double play. The Rockies took the lead on the next batter with Dexter Fowler singling in Ryan Spilborghs, marking the end of the day for Mets starter Chris Capuano.
Then Jonathan Herrera hit a 3 run home run off of Taylor Buchholz. Yeah.
After a miscommunication between Todd Helton and Iannetta allowed Hairston to advance to second on a barely fair infield popup to lead off the sixth for New York (the only Mets baserunner to reach between the 4th inning and game completion), De La Rosa managed to keep the pest from scoring despite allowing him to third base on a wild pitch.
De La Rosa's game would end with two outs in the seventh after giving up a walk to David Wright. Matt Reynolds, the only Rockies pitcher to appear in both games, came in and retired Carlos Beltran to end the seventh and Ike Davis to start the eighth. Rafael Betancourt finished the inning.
After the Rockies scratched another run off of New York closer Francisco Rodriguez (who hadn't had a chance to appear in the series before this), Felipe Paulino finished the ninth cleanly, and the Rockies picked up their 10th win in 12 games to start 2011.
The Rockies are on pace to win 135 games. Uh huh.

Tulo’s entering his prime, plays a tougher defensive position (and does so better than anybody in the game), has all the tools. There’s an argument, but I’m willing to stand on Tulo’s side of it.

Considering there are about 6 teams in the NL that will be above 3rd place in their respective divisions.
And the fact that we are projecting the Rockies to be one of those 6 (furthermore one of the 3 in 1st place), odds are, the Gnats haven’t played anyone that will place greater than 3rd place in their division either.
But they will Monday.

Should the Mets have walked Tulowitzki with a base open and a two-run lead? Probably. Should the Mets fans close enough to him have kept their mouths shut? Definitely.
“[New York’s] a big stage and I like it,” Tulowitzki said. “I think I thrive on, after getting a hit or two, [fans taunting] me. That gets me going. They were all over me by my third at-bat. So that’s fun. They’re good baseball people here.”

Well, I don't just look at pitchers on reputation....
I had no idea we’d handle Kershaw, either.
I don’t know what to make of Matt Garza pitching tomorrow. On the one hand, he’s been eminently hittable. Seriously. 20 hits in 12.2 innings. And yet, he’s also K’d 20 batters over the same stretch. Which means guys like Cargo might have really tough game tomorrow, if they’re flailing…and yet guys like Todd and Tulo and Seth Smith might just seriously go off on Garza.
In his limited sample size, he’s been that schizophrenic. But Garza is also quite a better pitcher than anyone we faced in the Mets series. That said, I don’t worry about the rest of their starters this weekend (we don’t face Zambrano).

I meant I disagree with your evaluation of Dempster
In saying that because he’s had a couple bad starts to begin this year, he’ll suck vs. us. It’s a SSS evaluation. He’s had a few solid years.
Matt Garza… He also had a turrible Spring. And at Coors I expect quite a few hits anyway. I’ll be interested in that game very much so.
@CentralCaliRox
by CentralCaliRox on Apr 14, 2011 10:41 PM MDT up reply actions
There's certainly room to disagree
That said, Dempster’s been in a slow, but clearly evident, decline the last couple of seasons. Nothing drastic, to be sure, but still a clear trend. And he’s been more susceptible to the gopher ball. He’s giving up nearly 1.5 baserunners per inning pitched, which is very ordinary.
All I’m saying here is, it’s not clear cut slam dunk that he’s going to outpitch Johnson on Sunday. He’s had several very solid years, but 2010 was not as “solid” as 2009, which was not as solid as 2008.

Wow
What an emotional rollercoaster!
The first game took two years off my life. Danggit, Huston! Now I’m only gonna live to be 106! And I predicted the final score to be 6-3 in PRPC. Grublegrumblemumblegrumble.
My grandma has been staying with us for this past series, and all of us have been listening to the games on the radio. My grandma is crazy hilarious, ranting about the Rockies, calling everybody "stupid" and "knucklehead". At dinner last night, my mom asked me, "So who do you think are the best looking Rockies players, in order, like top five???" Of course, in my family, Cargo is regarded as the best-looking, and if I only had to pick one, he would be the "correct answer" but good grief: I did not want to delve into this matter. Thankfully, Grandma said out of the blue: "I was watching the TV the other day, and saw that Seth Smith and thought to myself ‘Wow, he’s not too bad-looking either!’ but still, does he look good without a hat?". Me and my mom assured her that he is not going bald, and has a beautiful full head of hair. Hehe. I started cracking up at the bizarreness of the whole thing, almost spitting out my burrito, and walked away.
After we all started arguing about who was the best hitter this year. Everyone was all "Oh, Todd’s doing better than Tulo". My mom: "No, Tulo’s ERA or whatever is better." Me: "Bahahahahahaha!!!" I showed them that De la Rose had the highest BATTING AVERAGE as of Wed.
A WHOLE DAY of baseball was fun today. Man, Tulo is On Fire! Man, and back to back homers for him and Cargo! Man! I had a good feeling before the game, and throughout the game. Like, how can we lose? We just don’t give up.
Seth Smith hit a triple, and my grandma smiled and nodded. "That’s my boy!" Good grief.
Oh man, the ninth. I haven’t felt that tension and been that nervous since Rafael Betancourt’s save in SF in Sept 09. You can’t get any tenser than 2 outs, bottom of the ninth, and a 3-2 count. You just can’t.
Me: (on the edge of my seat) "Oh the suspense! Oh the drama! OH GAWD!!!!"
Sister: "Shut up."
And the ball was hit, the radio telling that Seth Smith kept going back, and back, and on the TRACK MADE the catch. OH MAN!
Grandma: "Woo hoo yay yay yay!"
Me: "Seff Smiff! Seff Smiff!!! (jumping up and down)
Grandma: "Yay yay Seth Smith!" (joining me in jumping up and down)
Me: "HOLY COW HOLY COW HOLY CR-"
Siblings: "Shut up."
During the in-between part of the games, the radio played the clip of Huston saying "Hey this is Huston Street, on Colorado’s only station with news, traffic, and Rockies baseball. 850 koa."
Grandma: "Jerk!"
Me: "Hey, just because he didn’t pitch good doesn’t make him a jerk! Call him a knucklehead or somethin’ if anything…"
My grandma made the loser sign on her head. Good grief. \
My mom: "He would be good-looking if you didn’t pitch so weird" (mimicking pitching motion)
Me: (no comment)
Oh, man. What a fun crazy day, from doing a happy panic with my littlest brother, to doing a real panic.
HAHAHA we swept the Mets! AHHHHHH!!!! The best record in baseball!! I love this team. So much.
The poster on my wall has Tulo on it, NOT Beiber. When I think Tulo's song can't get any worse, the universe proves me wrong.

Bingo
This team is playing wonderful baseball
And I would have been thrilled with 8-4 after today (though not thrilled with today itself, if you know what I mean).
Just as I’ll be thrilled if we’re 12-3 on Sunday, but I won’t sweat 11-4, either.

I may not be that optimistic.
But the fact that it’s April Freaking 15 and this team is 4 games ahead in the NL West is just…wow.
Think about it. We’d have to lose eight straight games just to hit the .500 mark again this season. That’s really something.

It's Alan Johnson at Coors Field.
he throws a flat fastball and doesn’t throw it very hard. I am very pessimistic about that game.
@CentralCaliRox
by CentralCaliRox on Apr 14, 2011 10:42 PM MDT up reply actions
The Cubs' offense isn't very good these days, outside of Castro
and to a lesser extent, Byrd and Ramirez.
And they’ve played as weak a schedule as we have, and yet are only 6-6, playing the Astros, Pirates, Arizona, and Milwaukee.
Hell, they got shut out by Chris Narverson, who certainly isn’t much better than Alan Johnson.
You were also pessimistic today. And yesterday, if my recollection is correct. I’ll take analysis over gut-felt pessimism. I don’t know much about Johnson other than the fact he doesn’t walk a ton of people. His numbers are C Springs inflated, as well.

I was pessimistic about Dickey vs. Reynolds and Pelfrey vs. Hammel, both of which are perfectly reasonable matchups to be pessimistic about.
Dempster vs. Johnson falls in the same category.
I’m not sure why you think your analysis is better than my analysis. I’m not sure you’re looking at the same numbers as me. Dickey > Reynolds, Pelfrey > Hammel, Dempster > Alan Johnson. ’
Looking at the Cubs offense, they can still be pretty explosive. They’ll score some runs at Coors.

by CentralCaliRox on Apr 14, 2011 10:57 PM MDT up reply actions
I pretty much had the same analysis
I don’t think it’s pessimistic just realistic. Granted I’m so glad I was wrong. who knows anymore
Except your pessimism doesn't appear to be based in present reality....
or numbers, or anything other than a combination of name recognition and reputation as put forth by ESPN.
And you’re confusing my disagreement that Dempster is very likely to outpitch Johnson, as me saying Johnson is anything special, which he’s not.
The thing is, I know what I’m analyzing. Recent performance, peripheral stats at BR, etc. I have no idea what it is your actually basing your analysis on.
But the specific factors I cited in my analysis of Pelfrey and Dickey turned out to be the exact factors that reared their ugly heads in their performances. It wasn’t like they’d pitched any worse today than they pitched in their previous outings this year.

dude really
thats a little unfair. Is it really ESPN that tells people pelfry is better than Hammel. ok bad example, but I did think that Pelfry would out pitch Hammel at Citi field. Hammel hasn’t exactly looked unhittable this year and the ?Rocks traditionally under perform in NYC
Alright. It’s clear to see by taking a stroll over to B-R that those 3 matchups were/are disadvantages to the Rockies based on each pitcher’s CAREER numbers.
Mike Pelfrey has owned the Rockies. Jason Hammel didn’t have a very good first start either ya know. I figured advantage: Mets and I was wrong. But the thing is, Pelfrey there’s no doubt that the Mets had to be considered favorites for that game.
Also for the Dickey vs. Reynolds game. We all know the scouting report for Reynolds and just how hittable he is. Dickey had a breakout year last year. Not many would predict for Reynolds to come out on top of that one, but he did.
Alan Johnson vs. Ryan Dempster is a CLEAR mismatch. Nothing about Johnson suggets he’s going to do well on Sunday in Coors Field in his first career ML start. Ryan Dempster, although he’s had a couple rough outings, has the pedigree that suggests the Cubs are the favorites for that game.
As for your first comment, can you please try to be a little more disrespectful? Seriously.

So I’m just happy there’s not a big drop off defensively from Barmes, and I’m enjoying the offensive upgrade immensely.

Jonathan Herrera is the Answer!

he is 26 not 27. Unless one counts from the end of the playoffs. Doesn’t turn 27 until October 10th
