Freddie HR ! @Rod Freakin' Dangerfield

A lot of season left. Hopefully he will save his best for last during the stretch drive.

Not my money, so I don't care about his contract. I was perfectly fine with the move then and I still am.

I guess I have become more patient in my older age..

I mean he hasn't been BJ Upton or Dan Uggla bad so I'm not too upset. Really the only reason I'm upset is because it was the only thing we did this offseason, as in we put a majority of our offseason money towards him

I guess I got mad and went to bed an inning too early.

Game was already in hand. He's at his best when the game is either in hand or out of reach.

Did you, at least, get some?

Game is never in hand with this bullpen

What does Freddie have to do to please you? Other than blowing you?

Perform when the game is on the line.

Hey, he's on the top shelf of MLB 1B, but every time my eyes are on the screen, & he's in the batter's box with the game on the line, seems he either strikes out or hits one of those ugly ass bloopers to the SS.

So if he doesn't perform when you're watching, he's overrated? I never see Mike Trout do anything because he plays past my bedtime on the west coast. Must be overrated.

Baseball-Reference has a stat called Situational Wins Added. It weighs how the player performs taking into account how important that at-bat or situation is. Freddie Freeman ranks 10th among all active players only behind Pujols, Miggy, Votto, Trout, Braun, Goldschmidt, Stanton, McCuthchen, and Encarnacion.

I get it man, you don't like Freddie. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. But calling him overrated just isn't true. I'd even say he's slightly underrated.

Is McCann only on a 1-year deal?

Yes

Threat of rain delay?

Fuck that noise, tarp isn't even on the field.

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Fuck you, rain.

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Yes

Wish Flowers was.

Reminds me of I think last season? Played at the nationals I think and had a 3 hour rain delay without a drop of rain.

That one will go down in dumb fuck history.

Not surprising that the flammability of the Pirate bullpen would inspire rain dances on their part.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Wish Flowers was.

He is.

One will probably be brought back next season, and probably Alex Jackson will start the season as the backup, and Contreras will probably be brought up sometime in May or later.

Flammability, as in they’re a bunch of faggots?

As bad as our bullpen has been, if you look around the league, we don't have it as bad as a lot of teams.
