Freddie Freeman Is Quietly Having an Awesome Season

You may not have noticed the Atlanta Braves all that much in the second half. No one would blame you if you haven't.

When Atlanta acquired Matt Kemp in a deal with the San Diego Padres on July 30th, they were 36-68, 32 games under .500. On August 20th, they lost their 7th straight game, falling to 44-79, 35 games under the break-even mark. At that point, they were 29 1/2 games out of first place.

So yeah, we weren't talking much about the Braves. And hey, we still aren't, really.
