Dan T. Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 ^^ Since it's the All-Star break, here's couple of interesting things about Freddie Freeman. (At least I find them interesting...)  - He grew up in California, but both his parents were from Canada. He holds dual U.S./Canadian citizenship.  - In late 2014, he got stuck in traffic in a winter storm. No cars were moving. He was stuck for several hourrs. Former teammate Chipper Jones caught wind of Freddie's ordeal, set out on his ATV, and rescued Freeman from the storm and traffic jam:   During the 2016 season, the Atlanta Braves sponsored a "Chipper Rescues Freddie" bobblehead night:      2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After he's done ****ing us over and over again, he's really respectful, and he takes us out to IHOP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, opponents have a .960 OPS against. 3 of those starts have come against the Mets (2) and Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The irresponsibility of the Phillies to put Arrieta out there is mind-numbingly dumb. Understanding that they probably think this is his last year and they'll have to eat his salary next year. They want to empty the tank before pitching through it makes things worse for him.  We get it. He wants to pitch. We also get that he right now is going to be better for 5 innings or so compared to somebody in AAA. When they are looking to add another starter in a few weeks (maybe 2), they'll also have a bullpen that is taxed to deal with.       1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry.Randolphe Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 You do realize Arrieta is going to pitch a perfect game against us now and it will go down in history as one of the greatest pitching performances of all time because he did it with bone spurs and a ****ty curveball 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't lasted more than 6 in a while. Nats need to try to get him over 20 an inning. Be patient. Play the long game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
