BRIAN MCCANN RUMORS & GOSSIP
Freeman's eye problems aren't getting any better
First baseman Freddie Freeman missed another start Monday because of continuing vision problems, and there is no easy solution.
Wind and dry air in Colorado when the Braves played the Rockies on May 4-6 were only the beginning. His actual prescription has changed since, from 1.5 in each eye to 1.75 and 2, and that isn't all.

Michael Bourn of the Atlanta Braves doesn't know how to high five, sticks his finger in Brian McCann's eye
