Charlie Blackmon Hits The Bench Sunday
6 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. Blackmon started the season off great, but has seemingly been getting worse and worse as the weeks continue and has hit .125 with a .285 OPS over the last week. With his offensive and even defensive numbers greatly deteriorating, this could just be an overall bad slump, or there is a chance he could be playing hurt. Regardless of the reason, it's hard to bench your first or second round pick, especially at Coors Field, but if Blackmon doesn't start to come around soon, you may have to.
