Love freese, great player better person.
thegreatcerealfamine
Dude take it down a few notches. He’s a bit of a let down as a player. How would you know about him being a great person?

Dude, did you ever realize maybe he does know Freese, thus giving him first hand knowledge to speak on him being a great player?? And dude, who are YOU to judge his opinion anyway, why do you care?? Dude, if he or anyone thinks Freese, or any other player is a great person, it’s NOT up to you to judge. Apparently dude, you’ve never heard of following somebody their entire career and on social media. Finally dude, who actually replies with dude anyway??
thegreatcerealfamine
You sound ridiculous..knowing someone from social media what a load!
padreforlife
Yeah dude
timyanks
don’t ever call me dude, again. call me a$$hole, jerk, troll anything, but do not call me dude.

You sound like a miserable person famine. Anyone let alone an athlete willing to talk about their struggles with depression, and addiction is a hero to me. Then you got to rain even more by calling him a let down as a player. Would you want to be called a let down cause you weren’t feeling it on the fry machine at McDonald’s last night?
thegreatcerealfamine
Where does it show he’s not a let down? He’s been ok at best and certainly not great! The other stuff you mention..geez give me a break! Go back to your coffee and donuts.

I actually do know him, though not incredibly well. We have a mutual friend that was a groomsmen in his wedding and we’ve met several times. Well enough that he knows who I am, I obviously know who he is.
From the few times I have met him, and what I know of him from our friend. He is incredibly down to earth, very humble. And doesn’t really care to discuss baseball socially outside of the obligatory necessities.
He’s been super nice to me, even though I basically slobbed all over him like a 7 year old meeting an idol (note, I like him as a player, but meeting MLB players in real life is still awesome).
He’s a really nice guy. Loves music. I’m glad he’s doing well, I haven’t seen him now in a couple of years 🙁

I know him well.. went to my rival high school and we both went to the same college. My good friend was roommates with him so I got to hang with him a lot.. Hes a solid guy… or should I say “dude” ha ha
billymayshere
Hes a decent player , not even close to being great.

Been totally impressed with Garrett thus far. Might be a smoke screen start to the season but red fans should be happy

It’s been fun to watch. I like how he competes. Let’s see how he does the second time around the league – that’s the true test.

I will always be grateful to Freese for carrying the Cards in the 2011 postseason…and I can see why it would be hard to be a human being among a city of adoring fans. The Batman mask he likes could have several meanings.

Freese is a Batman fanatic? Good. We haven’t had any of those since A.J. Burnett and his boy ward, Jeff Locke.
metsoptimist
The article about Freese was great. The more public figures who are open about their illnesses, be they mental or physical, the better it is in terms of raising awareness.

Of course the participation trophy generation loves reading about excuses . Its a good thing it’s not 1942 or the Germans would have whooped our snowflake butts
bastros88
Wtf are you talking about
billymayshere
You are out of your element Donnie
Doorman550
The fact bastros88 doesn’t get your comment makes me hate humans. Nice reply too Billymayshere. He’s probably a nihilist.
callmemabry
You’re not wrong Walter, you’re just an…

You think mental illness is an excuse for something? You really are the most cancerous person on here

Go fu*k yourself. Nobody is making excuses. Depression is real, and unless you or someone close to you has experienced it you should probably keep your mouth shut.

Hendricks fastball sat at 84 with a few at 85 his last start. Wear and tear of long seasons taking a toll?
Priggs89
Isn’t the radar gun reading about .5 mph faster this year too?
gocincy
When you drop from 87 to 85 mph, does it really matter? His game is all about location. At his fastest, he wasn’t sneaking fastballs past anyone on straight velocity.
desertbull
He has never had a 200 inning season. Arrieta velocity down too.
Could be because maddon decided not to give his rotation as much work as normal in spring training.
Kayrall
I would expect the opposite effect.
JKB 2
No its not taking its toll
Priggs89
Oh, ok. Thanks for the input.
