Why does everyone get a dumb nickname but Freeman?
is ** a nickname?
Honestly, Freddie's boring. Really good, of course, but good in that steady, professional, unspectacular way. By the end of the year he's going to be between .290-.300, between 20 and 25 home runs and around 100 RBI as a good-but-not-great defensive first baseman. He doesn't run fast, he doesn't hit massive home runs. He just hits his line drives to left-center. That's not a recipe for a good nickname.
Besides, "Freddie" is one of those first names that's mildly goofy enough that a nickname isn't necessary.
Grady Sizemore would win the batting title if he played 162 games vs. Atlanta.
Harang does it again somehow.
Hoowang with nerves of steel.
Really making Hamels work.
Don't look now but our lineup is getting "pantsed" by Cole Hamels.
We could use a hit, eventually, if that's not too much to ask.
So far it seems like our pitchers like to bounce them up to CB. I swear I've seen a ton of balls in the dirt to him
