Nice to hear Freeman be real about the play. Respect

It’s the rules he established his path so it’s allowed, it was smart base running and Freddie knows it.

The more I hear Freeman speak about games and situations whether I agree with a rule or specific circumstance or not the more I like him. I dont know everything about him but he seems like the kinda good natured honest guy all pro sports could use more.

Freddie is a class act. I miss him on the bravea

A lot respect for Freeman to say that. He could turned it around the other way.

So when a first baseman starts a double play, the runner can literally stop turnaround and try to block the ball? Ridiculous. Change the rule like home to 1st. Every baseline needs to be like first

See this is why you need a manager that can challenge a call like Manny clearly running inward towards second which led to an interference and saved them 2 outs while blowing the game open with a 6 run inning....say what you will about our pitching but it's time for us to get the missing piece of the puzzle and that's a competent coach

Freeman is the only Dodger who has class.

ARod had the right answer - FF should have thrown to hit Manny in the numbers. Umpires would probably have ruled interference.
