Dodgers Star Freddie Freeman Makes Honest Statement
After the game, Freeman spoke to SportsNet LA.
Kirsten Watson: “Freddie, you saw a few different pitchers tonight, but it seemed like they all had a similar approach to you. What adjustments did you make there really late in the game? Not only to get your two hits, but to also bring in the game-winning run.”
Freeman: “Just kind of battling myself in the first few. I’ve been kind of working on a couple of things, and I kind of got bent over at my top half and trying to find a feel pitch to pitch. Luckily, sometimes when they bring in a lefty it makes me stand myself straight up, and that kind of clicked for me right there, and then I felt pretty good after that.”
Watson: “Ultimately, it was another one-run game for you guys, but it was a win this time. When you look at just the offense, how you guys really battled to scratch those two across, what does it say about this group right now?”
Freeman: “We had some clutch hits today. You got Kiké with the pinch hit getting in there. Miguel with a huge hit. I know we’re not scoring a lot of runs lately, but we got to take our wins right now, and hopefully we can carry it over and score more than two runs.”
