Brenton Doyle has faced significant mental challenges while being benched by the Rockies. Despite hitting a pinch-hit home run, he struggles after the recent trauma of his wife's miscarriage. Initially performing well, Doyle's stats have dipped, leading to a decision to bench him. He expresses uncertainty about the benefits of this change but remains committed to improving his game through planning and coaching support. Currently, he has seven home runs and a .587 OPS, suggesting potential for future success as he seeks to regain his rhythm.
"It's definitely different. The kind of mental battle, whether you're going to go in the game or not. But, you know, I'm trying to do the best I can with it. And tonight was a pretty good night."
"I was honest with [Schaeffer] and told him that I've never had to do anything like this. So I can't tell you if it's going to benefit me or not, but we built a good plan with the hitting coaches to get some good work in."
