Freel is horrible
His words, not mine...
From last night's postgame: Freel: "I feel like I can compete and be an unbelievalbe player at one time and then I feel like I’ve never played baseball in my entire life. I have to be more consistent. When you have a leadoff hitter with a .294 on-base percentage, there’s no excuse for that. That’s horrible. It’s a big key, getting on base for these guys, the superstars on this team, Griffey and Dunn, there’s a lot you can do. But I’ve been doing a lot of right turns on first base and heading to the dugout. I’m professional, I’ll be accountable." Freel: "I just absolutely suck this year. I’m (censored) horrible. I’m a professional, the numbers don’t lie. I’m flat-out horrible. I flat-out suck. It’s frustrating. Go ahead, print it, it’s not anything somebody else isn’t saying."

He really should've hit that ball in the eighth farther....

Re: Freel is horrible
Every player/athlete has had "moments of competence/greatness".
Heck, I've made diving catches in the OF, 40-ft putts and an incredible returns (tennis). But I can't do any of those things (plus others) consistently. That's why I suck at these sports/games. And that, Ryan, is WHY you are horrible. Sorry.
