In case you have not heard the latest update on Max Fried's ankle injury . . .
I can’t believe what I’m reading ?

Everybody in the batting order is a threat to go deep or beat out a seeing eye single
Our bullpen has been pitching in early as well as late innings all season long so hopefully they are used to tag team pitching by now. They are good enough to keep things close and give the bats a chance. They say pitching wins games but the important number on the scoreboard is runs.
Freeman's 2-run HR in 11th lifts Braves past Red Sox, 8-7

With what he did last night, Freddie should be the MVP. How do you define "most valuable" any better than coming in to pinch hit in the 11th and hitting a 2-run walk off homer?
But sadly I think Tatis will get it. He has the flash and he shows the emotions that many think now defines the sport (like Acuna). Freddie never shows up a pitcher by flipping his bat, respects the umps, and in general never draws attention to himself. All he does is quietly produce bat after bat, year after year.
Hope I'm wrong...
That one was ugly. Today is the end of the regular season. I hope the Braves finish strong.
