VIDEO: Freddie Freeman Crushes 30th Home Run of Season for Braves and Swiftly Follows it With No. 31
By Adam Weinrib
This Freddie Freeman guy's pretty good, huh? Down plenty of runs to the Mets (we can give 'em one, I guess), Freebomb showed why he's one of the few people who can get in the way of Ronald Acuña Jr.'s MVP train. He drilled his 30th homer of the year to cut Atlanta's deficit to 10-4.

Then, for good measure...he decided he wouldn't be leaving the ballyard on this fine evening until he hit another one.

Who's a worse closing option for this Mets team, genuinely? Drew Gagnon or Edwin Diaz? After Freddie rattled Gagnon, Diaz entered and was a complete gas can in his own right.
We spooked 'em this week, Braves fans. The Mets'll never be the same.
