Freddie Freeman from Fountain Valley

[railbird]

looking like Tony Gwynn today.

3 oppo liners

 

[John Kelly]

Indeed.

Three singles to left field for Freeman.

Current score: Braves 5 Dodgers 2, top 6.

 

[John Kelly]

"Oppo liners," I like your term better.

Just the other day, in a conversation with JK, I brought up Tony Gwynn's opposite field hitting as a great weapon against radical shifts.

 

[John Kelly]

If memory serves, you wanted a team filled with slap hitters.

Did I get that right?

 

[John Kelly]

Every MLB hitter looks like Bryson DeChambeau.

It's not baseball, it's a long drive competition.

But tonight, the Braves are taking their singles.

Ten of Atlanta's 11 hits are singles through six innings.

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

There would not have been such radical shifts in the 70s and 80s….especially against players like Gwynn and Carew…players in that era hit to all fields….

 

[John Kelly]

Final score: 6-5, Dodgers.

Bellinger with the big homer to tie the game and Betts with an RBI double to give the Dodgers the lead.

A 4-spot in the eighth inning for L.A.

Chalk bettors live to tell about it.

 

[railbird]

Dinger for Freddy

Freddie or Rosario for series MVP?

Didn’t know the Braves/Dodger series is over?

Didn’t know the Braves/Dodger series is over?

Mercifully

 

[railbird]

Dodgers didnt dust off anybody the entire series, buhler should have dusted off rosario after the 3rd foul ball, especiallu with a base open

I have a hard time wondering why you didn’t pitch for a division one school or at least in A ball….
why is that?

 

[John Kelly]

Looking back on RAILBIRD's baseball career, I envision him as a brushback specialist.

Especially tough on the lefties.

I'll be here all week.

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

I envision Rail as another Bobby Shantz….

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Shantz was 119-99 in his career….

Left handed reliever that stood 5’6”…..
