Freddie Freeman says he congratulates opposing hitters at first base
“If you get a hit, I’m saying, ‘Nice hit.’ You know how hard it is to get a hit in the big leagues?”
“I appreciate it. I tell every guy, ‘Nice swing,’ or, ‘Way to swing it.’”
“I know my pitchers probably wouldn’t like that.”
“We’re playing a game. It’s a kids’ game.”
