The Colorado Rockies, winners of six out their last seven games, find themselves only 3-1/2 games out of first place in the NL West \u2013 but facing a tough, nine-game stretch that may end up defining their season.Host Shawn Drotar (Host, "Mornings at 5280'") and guest Ronnie Kohrt (Mile High Sports' "Broncos Blitz" podcast) discuss this weekend\u2019s three-game series against Seattle \u2013 the Mariners' 56-32 would be the best in the entire National League.The Rockies\u2019 pitching is rounding into form behind Kyle Freeland, Tyler Anderson and newly promoted Antonio Senzatela, all of whom have contributed mightily to the Rockies\u2019 run of success, but it\u2019s shortstop Trevor Story who\u2019s been the revelation; cutting back on strikeouts and hitting nearly .400 over the past two weeks \u2013 all while playing Gold Glove-caliber defense.Youth is being served for the Rockies; can they carry the Rockies across the first-half finish line as contenders?Find out on this week\u2019s "Blake Street Irregulars"!***Brought to you by Tap XIV (tapfourteen.com) on Blake Street in Denver.Follow Shawn Drotar on Twitter: @sdrotarFollow Ronnie Kohrt on Twitter: @RonnieKRadio
