47-41?

As they say, who'd have thunk it?
The Rockies, rightfully given up for dead six weeks ago, are six games over .500 heading to the All-Star break.
They are playing a much better brand of baseball these days. Jim Tracy isn't a subscriber to the "book" 100% of the time, as was the previous administration. The Rockos are playing smart baseball (trying to hit behind the runner, squeeze plays, stolen bases, etc.), which wasn't always the case before.
They aren't on a par with the Dodgers or some of the other division leaders, but they are catching up. The recent three-game series with L.A. was quite a bit more entertaining than any of the games earlier in the year.
