Why does everyone get a dumb nickname but Freeman?

Freddie doesn't need a nickname. He's the real deal.

Freddie "The Real Deal" Freeman.

No one seems to be clever enough to think of a nickname for him. And he's been so consistently good and white that no one has been able to really irrationally complain about him, thus not netting him a nickname.

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.

I missed this yesterday, but bravo.

[Lville21]

Grady Sizemore would win the batting title if he played 162 games vs. Atlanta.

[Garmel]

Harang does it again somehow.

[Runnin]

Hoowang with nerves of steel.

[CyYoung31]

Really making Hamels work.

[USMA76]

Don't look now but our lineup is getting "pantsed" by Cole Hamels.

[Julio3000]

We could use a hit, eventually, if that's not too much to ask.

Good old fashion racism.

I got a buddy that calls him Beavis. Just because he looks like a Beavis to him.

[Tapate50]

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

is ** a nickname?

Technically, no. It's just censorship.

[AerchAngel]

Technically, no. It's just censorship.

Talk to Sav about that filter.
