Charlie Blackmon Taking A Seat Wednesday
1 year agoColorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the club's starting lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zach Davies. The longtime Rockie hit leadoff on Tuesday night while going 0-for-3 with a walk, a run, and an RBI on the evening, the latter of which provided the eventual game-winning run in a tight 3-2 victory. While Blackmon doesn't possess the same elite power/speed combination that he used to, he's had a nice season that's seen him hit .284 with seven homers, one steal, a 10.3% BB%, and an .819 OPS across 330 trips to the plate. Furthermore, he sports a tiny 12.4% K% which is easily a career-high and well below his 16.7% career figure.
