As per Olney:

Going into Sunday’s game, Freeman had seen the third-fewest pitches in the strike zone in all of baseball, behind Pablo Sandoval and Giancarlo Stanton,

Not a good sign if he keeps swinging at bad pitches.

Freeman's walk rate has risen every year: 8.3, 10.3, 10.5, 12.4

Not a good sign if he keeps swinging at bad pitches.

I wouldn't say he has been.
It's an adjustment to make. He can do it. He will get on a roll.

Well, he just needs to take his BB's. He's got J Up and Gattis hitting behind him. Eventually pitchers will start throwing him more stikes.

Went to the game last night. 10 rows behind third base dugout. Tons of fun.

Gattis in the lineup today!

Gattis in the lineup today!

2 HRs in 3 ABs against Hamels. He can rest up tomorrow.

Wasn't the other AB a ball caught on the warning track?

I was watching the game on and off, but I thought the most heartening thing I saw during the game was Heyward tattooing Bedrosian's "mistake" change-up. We've been missing pitchers' mistakes all season and it was great to see him right on that pitch.
