Since the All-Star break, the Rockies have gone 21-22. They have even posted winning records in the months of June and August at 14-13 in each. With the astonishing .652 winning percentage at home (43-23), Colorado has had moments that seem to suggest this team is better than we thought. Perhaps, even with a few more pieces and positive additions to the front office with the GM search and filling vacancies, this team could contend.
When the Rockies won that series in L.A. over the weekend and with an 11-8 record against the Padres, I definitely have felt that spark of optimism.
