What is braves score
Max Fried was in trouble from the jump, with a leadoff single and a strange play at first base in which he had his ankle stepped on, but then he was magical. He went six scoreless and a rested, ready and rowdy bullpen did the rest. Meanwhile, the Braves' bats meant business. Jorge Soler smoked a three-run homer over the train tracks at Minute Maid Park. Dansby Swanson hit a two-run shot almost as far.
And then Freddie Freeman, in the last game of his current contract, doubled and homered to drive in two more. From this day forward, whenever an underachieving or over-injured team arrives at the trade deadline out of first place and right around. Ballgame, season and World Series complete. Savor it, folks. Now we all wait and wonder. See yinz in … February? Or mayhap July? The final out to clinch the Atlanta Braves' WorldSeries title.
Tyler Matzek is dealing. Shutting out these Astros at home with their backs against the wall is nothing short of incredible. From top to bottom, this is an excellent lineup filled with players who have been in the spotlight for years. Fried and Matzek have mystified them for 8 innings. Tyler Matzek in the World Series: 5. His postseason in total: 1. Just wow. Well, well, well. If this score stands, Plouffe will have nailed the World Series winner, the loser and the number of games. So, here we are.
There is absolutely no way the Braves can let Freeman go somewhere else. He's no longer the best player on that team, but he is the heart and soul. And a veteran leader on a club that has so much young talent. It's a no-brainer for Atlanta to make this guy a Brave for life. There are times — fairly rare — when the PR effect has to play into baseball decisions. This is one. He's not going anywhere.
They'll re-sign him. Though as long as they've waited, I wouldn't blame Freeman at all if had his agent field calls, just to hear what other teams might be willing to offer. Then when he re-signs with Atlanta we'll know how much he left on the table by not going elsewhere, ala Chipper Jones back in the day with the Yankees. One of the biggest hits of his career in year 14 as a Brave. Freddie Freeman makes it I've never seen Freeman show that much emotion as he rounded third base and turned to his teammates in the dugout and pumped his fist.
Hey Rob, sure, that was a home run. But it was the seventh. And meaningless. I'm still patting my back here. OK, so I was off by an inning on the Freddie Freeman home run prediction. Fried looks to be done. Six innings — the longest start of the Series — 4 hits, no run, no walks, 6 Ks. That's a clutch World Series performance. David O'Brien: Some folks who in the past couple of days on Twitter declared Max Fried was not a big-game pitcher, they've gone silent.
World Series Game 6. On the road. This is as big as games get. How often do we see a third strike skip away from the catcher and the throw to first is not even close? I want Max Fried to go the distance in this one. Fried is throwing a masterpiece. Only 52 pitches through 5. And, to think, we all thought he might have broken his ankle in the first. Of course Freeman has joined the fun. He squared up that offering from left-hander Blake Taylor and knocked it off the wall in left-center.
Taylor is out. Phil Maton is in. Freeman's postseason doubles have now jumped ahead of his homers. In 42 postseason games, and plate appearances, he has nine doubles and eight homers. The guy is great in many ways, and that includes showing up when it counts. Freddie adds another! Log In. Real Time. The most emotional year of Freeman's life ended on a high note when he finally brought a championship to Atlanta.
The Braves -- ravaged by injuries early, dismissed as late as August and counted out at practically every juncture of the playoffs -- beat Houston on Tuesday night to become World Series champions for the first time in more than a quarter-century.
