I mean... it was 2 months people. That doesn't erase the previous 4 years.

But whatever. Freeman should be thrilled this year as we compete for high draft picks and play in front of 15K people per night.

Actually, if you take out the first 24 games of last year the Braves were 62-76 for a robust 45% winning percentage. So no, it was much more than 2 months of play.
 
Can someone fill me in on this Freddie talk? I have been working and did not watch theg ame, is there any thing Freddie said to the media or something? just see Freddie is not playing first.

Well sure - take out the games we won and we were winless.

Last year was terrible. It was the same team as 2013. The problems were Fredi, BJ, CJ, and Uggla... We could have worked to replace them and been a great team once again (like the previous 4 years).

He was tossed after a fairly long argument with the umpire that Fredi apparently missed.

Got tossed by the third base ump after jawing about a missed call on a checked swing appeal.

I'm just doing what people have done this year with a much smaller sample. I thought those were the rules.

And you are still making the same mistake in not realizing that at least 1 of Upton/Heyward would not have been here after next year and Gattis couldn't play catcher anymore.

I disagree.

Freddie was called out on a check swing third strike. He clearly (imho) did not swing. Freddie was tossing the ball around between innings when the umpire stared him down until Freddie said something and got tossed.

I'm watching the Nats broadcast - and there was no view that showed that it hit the batter...

Not sure how you overturn the original call based on the angles I saw

Got to listen to it as well. It clearly hit something as you heard a tick before it hit the glove. And it clearly didn't hit the bat. It was the right call to me.
