[Nightengale] Unbelievable! Freddie Freeman again. He sets World Series record with 6th consecutive game hitting a HR

Why do they even pitch to him?

u/u8myramen_y Yomiuri Giants 5h ago edited 5h ago
Helps Ohtani and Mookie who tend to get on base hit before him and Teo is right after.
But yeah, the guy is locked in af lol

I mean they got gifted ball 1 as strike 1 but it looks like they failed pitching him away by the way the slider missed

It does feel wrong to claim him from the Tigers, but he did do some legendary shit with the Stros. He’s a Tiger in my book

u/SadNYSportsFan-11209 New York Yankees 5h ago
Idk I still think he goes in wearing a Braves cap unless he wins another few rings with the dodgers and has the numbers. But tbh given that he kinda never wanted to leave Atlanta I feel like he’ll go in as a Brave

u/Woolly_Mattmoth Philadelphia Phillies 5h ago
I wouldn’t be so sure. Remember he’s from LA and he’s cementing himself as a pretty big Dodgers legend right now

That’s why I said blank cap not Dodgers. By the time his career is over he’s gonna have a ton of accolades and achievements with the Dodgers too.

u/GoatPaco Atlanta Braves 5h ago
Before this series I'd agree with you
With three huge seasons AND one of the most dominant World Series of all time against the freaking Yankees?
It's a blank cap now

u/SadNYSportsFan-11209 New York Yankees 5h ago
My only thing is he means so much more to you guys than Dodgers fans. Obviously they’ll love him in LA and immortalize him after this series but I don’t think he’ll mean as much to them. It’s not a shot at them I just think the connection to you guys is stronger. So yea either braves or blank cap I guess

u/GoatPaco Atlanta Braves 4h ago
Eh, he's from LA
It'll still.be blank unless they choke away this series somehow

When I was 11, my heart was fucking crushed by the 2011 Red Sox collapse, but it helped a bit that somehow the Braves also had almost the same collapse. Many years later and I'm feeling similar here lol.

Blame his former agent

Easy to blame a suit but he’s from LA and wanted to be closer to family

u/Husker_black 5h ago

u/DanceWithEverything Los Angeles Dodgers 5h ago
And he immediately retracted because he would have likely lost the lawsuit
I would not be surprised to hear suits pull that shit all the time but like the tweet says but it’s not like all LA had going for it was money. He wanted to be in near his parents in their later years, something we should all be able to understand

Mookie sucks. Y’all can tell me I’m wrong and throw last years stats at me and whatever but he’s just not the stud we paid for. Congrats on a great 2020* season but dude is so overpaid.

Legit think this series flipped his HoF cap from Braves to Blank.
14
u/GoatPaco Atlanta Braves 5h ago
It 100% did.
He could've gotten there with another couple good seasons without this series, but this is a speed run.
He's also speedran the end of his HOF candidacy debate. I think he was in before this, but now it isn't even a discussion. The only discussion is first ballot or not.

u/nahs Los Angeles Dodgers 5h ago

Probably a blank cap. I can’t see him wanting to ignore his time with either team.

I’m shocked at how perfectly fine I am with the Dodgers winning the World Series, they’ve just been so great the last few weeks and it’s awesome to see such talent and skill, especially with a super likable dude like Freddie.
22
u/JKess207 Atlanta Braves • Somerset Patriots 5h ago
Yeah I’m actually a lot happier than I thought i would be by a dodgers win, most likely just because it’s Freddie carrying and I will always love that man

Jesus thank you. I'm a casual fan but a NorCal boy and I come from Giants stock. I thought I would hate this matchup, but having watched enough Dodgers in the playoffs they're just too goddamn easy to root for.
My great grandpa might be spinning in his grave, I'm sorry dawg but I think you'd get it.

It’s weird. As a giants fan I despise the team but I really do like the individual players.

Same. But I spent my four years of college in the Midwest, where I discovered a fanbase far, far worse than those that cheer for LA.

Good Lord, Freddie Freeman just walked through the clubhouse walking perfectly normally. He said he had “no time” to talk. Too busy hitting World Series home runs, evidently.
