With their season on the line, the Rockies have responded with some of their best ball. That might all be hyperbole, but it doesn't feel like it. At the end of June, Colorado looked dead in the water in the National League West. What has followed is four straight series wins including a big series victory over the D-backs this week at Coors Field. We'll talk about the resurgence and what has keyed some of it.Plus, the Major League All-Star Break is later than ever this year. That puts teams in a bind when it comes to the trade deadline, which is just two weeks after the ASG. Will the Rockies be buyers or sellers, and with so many attractive sale pieces, could they still make deals to acquire young talent without it signaling they're throwing in the towel on the 2018 races?Antonio Senzatela is headed to the disabled list, and Chad Bettis's return from it will be delayed. What options do the Rockies have as their rotation hits a rough patch during this midsummer stretch?All that and more is here in the 141st episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast.

The #Rockies swept the Dodgers in the first four game of their road trip, and came into the Arizona desert red-hot, beating the Diamondbacks in their series opener and looked to be primed for a run at the top wild-card spot.In the final two games of the series, however, the Rockies' German Marquez and Chad Bettis imploded on the mound, which -- if that wasn't bad enough -- was compounded by the entire offense going AWOL to boot.Now, the Rockies limp back to Coors Field, where a weekend set with the Padres looms; can the purple and black get their mojo back at a mile high?Hosts Shawn Drotar (Mile High Sports Radio) and Ryan Greene (5280 Sports Network) discuss what the Rockies learned -- and how they can take it with them in a pivotal road series against the Diamondbacks.***Brought to you by Tap XIV (tapfourteen.com) on Blake Street in Denver.Follow Shawn Drotar on Twitter: @sdrotarFollow Ryan Greene on Twitter: @RGmilehigh

The Rockies' most inspiring story hit its highest point so far when cancer-slaying hero Chad Bettis returned to the Coors Field mound on Monday and turned in seven shutout innings. It felt so much bigger than baseball to so many, and we'll attempt to break down our thoughts from that day.Plus, Bettis's return gives the Rockies something they have to be thrilled with right now: a full -- and strong-- starting rotation. With Bettis, Kyle Freeland, Jon Gray, Jeff Hoffman and German Marquez forming the group, Colorado now has its most talented arms lined up 1-5 and can utilize Antonio Senzatela and Tyler Chatwood in more clearly defined relief roles.With that, we acknowledge that the pitching staff has in fact been good this year. The offense has not been so. We'll discuss how things could improve in that area and what it means that the Rockies have played barely-above-.500 ball against arguably the weakest portion of their schedule.Plus we're sure there's other stuff in here that you'll like listening to! That might debatable, but hey who knows! It's the 114th episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Grind it down to a fine powder and add it to your chocolate shake for a creamy malt mix!

Recording live at Tap XIV prior to the #Rockies' series finale against the Braves, host Shawn Drotar (Mile High Sports Radio) and "Broncos Blitz" host Ryan Greene discuss the playoff chase as it enters its final six weeks.For the first time in... ever (?), the Rockies' starting five of Jon Gray, Chad Bettis, Kyle Freeland, German Marquez and Jeff Hoffman looks all but set in stone, both for now, and for the foreseeable future.Now, if the club could just get their bats working at the same time.“We haven’t bunched hits together,” Bud Black told The Denver Post after their loss to the Braves on August 15 . “Some guys are getting hits, but they’re not coming in the same inning. To score runs, you have to get two or three hits in a inning. And we’re getting a hit here and a hit there. We’re just not getting the one big hit when we have some baserunners. Those guys who are getting hits aren’t doing it at the same time. We’re spreading it out.”Can the Rockies finish their watershed season strong?Brought to you by Tap XIV (tapfourteen.com) on Blake Street in Denver.Follow Shawn Drotar on Twitter: @sdrotarFollow Ryan Greene on Twitter: @RGmilehigh

Host Shawn Drotar (Mile High Sports Radio) and guest Ronnie Kohrt (Mile High Sports) take a look at the recent, promising turnaround by Carlos Gonzalez, who has struggled mightily all season long at the plate. If Gonzalez -- and pitcher Chad Bettis, a 14-game winner last season, now making a miraculous recovery from cancer in Triple-A Albuquerque -- could both return to form in the next few weeks, it would be as if the #Rockies added a pair of high-end players at the looming trade deadline.Shawn and Ronnie consider those possibilities, and discuss who else the Rockies could -- and should -- target in a trade, with the deadline only days away.***Brought to you by Tap XIV (tapfourteen.com) on Blake Street in Denver.Follow Ronnie Kohrt on Twitter: @RonnieKRadioFollow Shawn Drotar on Twitter: @sdrotar
