• Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Potential lineup change

  03/17/2020 •

  The Rockies were using Blackmon in the third spot in the order this spring, while experimenting with David Dahl in the leadoff spot, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Manager Bud Black wants to get Blackmon into a better 'run-producing' - i.e. RBI-producing - spot in the order. He's already running less often as it is, so this move will only likely give him fewer runs while adding RBI.

• Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Clubs clutch home run

  09/25/2019 •

  Blackmon went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and two walks in a marathon win over the Giants on Tuesday. Blackmon's lone hit helped end the extra-inning affair, as he crushed a 422-foot shot to center field in the top of the 16th frame to plate the winning runs. The homer was a rare moment of success away from home for Blackmon this season; his .256/.296/.433 slash line and 10 long balls on the road pale in comparison to the elite .387/.442/.751 line and 21 round trippers he has posted in Colorado.
