They were pouring wine. They were screaming and hollering for all of Georgia to hear. Freeman, 32, who has been with the organization longer than any active player, left everyone while he quietly slipped away. He walked through the clubhouse, past the dugout and onto the field to find his wife, Chelsea, and their kids. He grabbed her hand, and they slowly walked to center field. It has been 14 years since Freeman was drafted by Atlanta: 11 full seasons, 1, total games including postseason and 6, plate appearances.
All of a sudden, on the 12th one you make it. We actually did it. He has seen it all in Atlanta. He came along just after the end of the Atlanta dynasty in which it posted 15 consecutive seasons. Atlanta won a wild-card berth in his rookie season.
They also lost 90 or more games in three consecutive seasons, finishing a combined They came back to win four consecutive NL East titles. This is why he signed his first extension with Atlanta in This is why he never asked to be traded.
And this is why he wants to stay put instead of leaving elsewhere as a free agent this offseason. I really do. Louis Cardinals paid to keep first baseman Paul Goldschmidt from seasons, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. So too did a few other relievers who haven't seen much action during October. Seven Atlanta relievers combined to allow one hit over six innings -- but they walked six. And yet, Atlanta won. The Braves have won five straight now, after dropping their division series opener at the Milwaukee Brewers.
Some of their victories have just not made much sense. But they are wins nevertheless. What will happen to this wild mix in Los Angeles? Who knows? But one gets the sense that while the Dodgers' small army of analysts is busy right now mapping things out to the level of the molecule, the Braves are just ready to audible, no matter what comes next.
And here's the wildest part of the Braves' two wins: They got nothing from face of the franchise, Freddie Freeman. Not a thing. Freeman went 0-for-4 in Game 1, striking out in all four of his trips to the dish. Then he promptly went out in Game 2 and struck out three more times. The seven straight K's matched the worst stretch of his career. Only six players have ever struck out seven straight times within a postseason series, and only David Justice got to eight. Mercifully, Freeman flied out his final time up on Sunday, sparing him the ignominy of tying Justice's mark.
And you know what? This particular section ought to scare the bejesus out of the Dodgers. The Braves have won two games without any kind of contribution from their best player. There is no kind of tangible baseball meaning to be derived of this, but if you believe in omens and destiny and such imponderables, the Dodgers might also be concerned about the extent that Joc Pederson's strand of pearls has become a talisman for the entire Atlanta baseball community.
Yes, they are selling plastic replicas in the team stores at Truist Park, and before the games, lines have snaked around the concourse. Yes, Pederson is keeping everybody loose, bonding around the field in shorts and that necklace during batting practice, then hammering one huge homer after another once the games begin.
But what does this mean: Braves legend Dale Murphy threw out the first pitch before Game 2. First, he ripped off his "Murphy" jersey, revealing an Austin Riley jersey underneath. Then the finale: Murphy whipped out a string of presumably plastic pearls to don while he completed his ceremonial pitch.
