Would you like your creampie with or without chocolate syrup?

Braves bats have really come alive in this Nationals series! Just check out the top 6 batters of the order in today's game:

Ender 3-for-5 2 runs, 2 RBI
Phillips 4-for-5 3 runs, 3 RBI
Markakis 3-for-4 walk, 2 runs, RBI
Kemp/Santana 2-for-4 walk, RBI
Adams 2-for-2 walk, 2 runs, 2 RBI
Suzuki 2-for-4 2 runs, HR, 2 RBI

I believe they just mentioned this is the most runs the Nats have given up in a game this year. 13 runs, 16 hits

Ender Inciarte is 2nd in the league with hits (84) and on pace to hit 209 this year. He's also top 10 in stolen bases & runs scored.

2017 Season: .305 avg 6 HR 29 RBI .772 OPS 10 SB 1.9 fWAR

I'd like the Orioles to join the NL East.

What are your thoughts on Freddie Freeman moving to 3B when he returns from the DL?

If Freddie Freeman can handle third base with slightly below average to average defense I'm all for it! It's not like we'll lose much on the defensive scale with Adonis currently at the hot corner.

I'd love to see a lineup with both Adams & Freeman. We'd have 3 guys who could hit 30+ HR in a full season.

I think if any big man 1b in baseball can handle it, it's freddie.

Is the Freeman move to 3B a rumor?

Not at all, Freeman has already began practicing apparently. He's all-in on the idea.

Chipper Jones already tweeted about this. I was gonna say charging balls/barehanding and long throws would be tough, which Chipper mentioned, but hadn't considered the big difference in glove size.

The hot corner will be significantly tougher than 1st base. You also need a strong accurate arm to play 3rd. Not sure what sort of arm strength Freeman's got.

Hey-O! Slim Patch Adams with another bomb!

Can't believe he was still available via free agency in my fantasy league. It's most likely due to the uncertainty of his role once Freeman returns.

Chipper Jones is much more concerned about cup size. He's been banging various hooters girls and strippers for the last few decades.
