People really doubt if he's going in the hof? They put Todd Helton in. Freeman has 64.8 fwar he's a lock 1st ballot.

Freeman’s a lock for the HOF but Olson’s been just as good the last four years.

I meant since Freeman joined the Dodgers and Olson joined the Braves which I thought would be quite obvious. Go crunch those numbers now.

It was a think piece.

Yes genius, those are the cumulative numbers from the 2022-2025 seasons.

Well genius yes for 0.4 less WAR over four seasons I’m taking the guy who’s 5 years younger when it comes to a long term $150+ million contract.

Tell me about the WS titles and WS MVPs that Olson has won with the Braves since his arrival.

jdandns · 10-28-2025, 12:17 PM

Freddie's from Fountain Valley, 40 miles away from LA, and Olson was born in Atlanta, so both players are home, really, and good for them.

I wish there was more of that, as it would result in California teams having more championships. Tom Brady for the 49ers, Rams, or Chargers? Sure.
Aaron Judge on the Giants, Dodgers, or Padres? Why not?

Well baseball’s a team sport. Freeman isn’t carrying any of the Braves teams from the last four years to a World Series either.

Heh no kidding. I am emotionally and physically exhausted. We had the coolest dodger fans around us and everyone there stayed the whole game. Ran the gamut from kids to my dad at 83 years old. My voice is shot. I got home around 130am, passed out on the couch at about 230-300. Still haven’t gotten to work(I told them I’d be in around 11..lol my boss was at the game too). I’ll be watching tonight’s game at work 😁. All credit and respect to the Blue Jays. Too many heroes tonight..of course Shohei and Freddy, Will Klien doing what no one could have expected, and even Clayton Kershaw.

I’m glad the good guys won!

The very last season he played for Atlanta, they did win the World Series.
We'll never know for sure what would've happened had they kept him. He's proven himself to be a game-changer.

I guess the Chiefs vs. Commanders didn’t catch your interest. Quit while you are behind.

49erRCCollector · 10-28-2025, 12:47 PM

Good to see blowout keeping it upbeat and positive, as usual.

I really need LA to win tonight so my game 5 tix are for a potential series clinching game.

Let's go Dodgers!

And as fun as it was they caught lightning in a bottle. You had two mid season acquisitions who are either not even in the league anymore or are hanging on by a thread catch fire and win NLCS MVP and WS MVP.

So what's next? He throws a perfect game tonight then returns to his home planet?

Don't forget the 2 HRs, then he drives the Blue Jays back to their hotel afterward

I did not know that Freddie was from the OC.

Only 2, I figured he'd hit 4 and before each one they'll have a long mound visit to discuss not giving him anything to hit followed by the pitcher throwing it over the middle lol.

I just think they need to do something to change the length of games. Even my local TV station had a poll this morning about whether changes need to be made.

Yeesh. I get not watching games because your favorite team gets eliminated but thinking last night should have been shorter?? You will be in the minority with that take

crazy4kinsler · 10-28-2025, 03:46 PM

No. Not wasting time watching that. I did hope the Redskins would've won since they're in Dallas' division. I only watch Dallas because I know one of the players personally. Otherwise, I don't watch the NFL, NBA or NHL. Know nothing about hockey. I like MLB and college sports.

That is pretty cool. And pretty rare. I didn't even know the Mavs were on, but I did see that rookie got benched. I'm sure that'll be newsworthy. Overall, though, I don't watch or follow NFL, NBA and NFL. MLB and college sports.

I'm confused..you wanted the commanders to win because they are Dallas' division..but you know someone who personally plays on the Cowboys..yet want their division rival to win? Huh???

yeah, total head scratcher. These are the games so many fans will remember. Giants fans always will remember their teams 18 inning playoff win in Washington. Other fans will remember their marathon game victories. People will remember the long OT games for college football playoffs. Or the NHL games that go multiple overtimes. I still absolutely remember in 2000 watching the Flyers beat the Penguins in the 5th overtime (game was over 2.5 games in length) and I wasn't a supporter of either team, simply a fan of the NHL
