Just a real quick recap of today's Game 1.
Rockies 6, Mets 5 (boxscore)
-- Carlos Gonzalez got off the home run schneid with an absolute rope into the right field seats.
-- Troy Tulowitzki followed that with a home run of his own. He now has 21 home runs in his last 37 games. I have nothing to add to that.
-- Reynolds was really excellent again today. I can only think of one baseball put in play with any type of authority -- David's Wright double. He had two misjudged flyballs for hits. He had the very definition of a ducksnort RBI single by Scott Hairston. And then there was the slow roller through the spot vacated by Tulowitzki covering second base.
Other than that... nothing. A well deserved win.
-- I'll steal this paragraph from Troy Renck's blog on the Franklin Morales injury.
Franklin Morales can’t escape drama or attention. There are no contrasts with the left-hander. He’s either really good, really bad or involved in a weird play. The latter happened today as Morales injured his right ankle/foot covering first base in the sixth inning of the first game of a doubleheader.
That's exactly how it goes for Morales.
-- But it was a better day for the other Morales... Jose. His first hit as a Rockie was a clutch two-out, two-run double in the 6th. He also had a really solid day behind the plate.
-- Rough day for Huston Street. The good news? It didn't result in a blown save or loss. Matt Lindstrom closed the door!
-- Was Carlos Gonzalez still attempting to nonchalant a flyball he couldn't even see? Looked like it in the first inning. If so, does it get any more stylish than that?
-- If that's the first one... I'm not sure how much hair I'll have left by the end of day. Dark hair that is.
