Brian Snitker had a funny quote about letting Freddie Freeman play a day after the first baseman was hit by a pitch.
Freeman was hit on the wrist on Wednesday night — the same wrist he broke last year after a hit by pitch. Tests came back negative this time, so Snitker did not hesitate to put Freeman in the lineup on Thursday against the Mets.
#Braves' Snitker was asked if he had any hesitation about putting Freeman back in the lineup today, looked at the questioner and said, "Hell no."

Freeman has been one of the Braves’ best hitters this year — and throughout his career — so you want him in the lineup any time he’s available. He’s also developed a little bit of Terminator reputation for his ability to rebound from injuries. Trust the Freeman.
