Woke up just in time to see the majority of the six run inning,missed Tulo's HR. Buck almost swallowed his tongue trying to call JD's triple. Good thing Pat jumped in. SN are just as clueless.

Charlie Blackmon is your prototypical "looks amazing due to Coors" guy. Great avridges, decent enough OBP, inflated SLG, lots of steals (which makes him great in fantasy ball), yet is really a league average hitter with not good enough defense, making him literally an average MLB player.

Blackmon is super meh, see my most recent post.

 

I think you have to watch him more too appreciate him as a player. Its a very physically demanding CF. Either way calling him an meh hitter is a bit out there. Sure Coors Field makes him better but he gets a lot of s*** done that I like. He would be electric in Toronto as well.

I bet you're loving the approach by the bats today. They really are going with the ball, tons of opposite field hits.

Teams don't tend to fall for this though right? They know they're inflated... So it might be more beneficial to keep him then no?

Not really.

He's literally a league average hitter/player. That's by no means trash, but he's not nearly as good as you think he is. His highest single-season WAR is 2.1 last year, and he's almost 30.

Nice to see. You can really expose bad pitching this way.

If you can fool some idiot GM (Dave Stewart) to buy into the inflated average and slugging then it might make sense to move him, in the same way that Billy Beane would ship out starters having career years in the O.Co. I would hope that most front offices nowadays would be aware of the Coors effect though. If they feel they're getting a younger league average at least player for Blackmon then it would make perfect sense to move him.

We caught a huge break not having to face LeMahieu.

 

Another mediocre Coors inflated player lol. Not really that big of a break.
