Charlie Blackmon gives the greatest interviews
Mark Stout: Charlie, I really want to do the anatomy of an inside-the-park home run, because it's - it's your first one in the big leagues. I'm sure you've had one before.
Charlie Blackmon: Um-
M: At some level
C: I don't know, I don't - I usually get real tired before I get to the plate and I stop, but Stu was waving me early so I had to go.
M: So this one, you hit it right on the button.
C: I hit it hard, I guess. I hit it kind of at the guy.
M: Yeah, it's a wet night, things happen.
C: Um, yes
M: When did you see that? Did you round first and be like, "Oh, it's going to the wall?"
C: Uh, honestly I thought he was going to catch it - I was still running, you know like, doing the baseball stuff and, uh, you know, he missed it, and so then I was like, "Oh. Crap. I gotta run." so then I started running.
M: And you are a fast runner that's a good thing.
C: I'm a - yeah. Yeah! I'm supposed to be!
M: Tell me about-
C: and that's enough
M: Your slide a lot of authority to it.
C: Oh yeah! I was going to go head-first, but head-first is like, kinda risky, and I got these spikes on the bottom of my shoes, so figure if I go feet-first, that's pretty standard and that way I don't get hurt.
M: And it looked cool.
C: I guess. That's what I was going for.
M: Hey, Johnny Cueto's a tough pitcher. When you guys can get runs off him...
C: He's good, you know, he does a lot of things really well, and so it was good for us to get to him tonight after he pitched well in San Fransisco.
M: How strong is Trevor Story?
C: He's really, like, really strong. It's hard to hit the ball the other way, over the fence.
M: With no effort?
C: Nah, he's just, good at baseball.
M: This has been fun baseball for you guys, right?
C: Yeah! Winning is really fun, we should keep doing that.
M: I agree.

"That's Amore!" Chuck Nazty: One of the Best Top-of-the-Order Hitters
“That’s Amore!” Chuck Nazty: One of the Best Top-of-the-Order Hitters
It’s not everyday that you find a player that hits at the top of the lineup that can do it all. A player that can hit home runs, score runs, driver in runs, and steal bases is fantasy gold. Charlie Blackmon has become not only one of the most consistent fantasy baseball players, but one of the most consistent Major League player. He’s put together four consecutive seasons of 17+ home runs, 80+…
