Freeman’s eyes and Colorado climate aren’t a good match

[wang1993]

The last time Freddie Reggie Sanders Youth Jersey Freeman’s contact lenses dried on a windy, low-humidity night in Colorado, he tried changing his contacts lenses six times during the game and ended up scratching his cornea with his finger and missing some games. That was in 2012, his second full Michael Lorenzen Womens Jersey season in the majors, and it led to a months-long issue as Freeman sought the right pair of contacts, eye drops, glasses. He tried just about everything trying to get his eyes back to normal, all while his batting average slipped steadily, dropping more than 50 points. Flash ahead to Tuesday, on Johnny Cueto Jersey another dry night in Colorado when a cold front blew in from the north and the winds started whipping across Coors Field. Freeman’s Joey Votto Youth Jersey contact lenses starting to get dry and he tried three different pairs before deciding he wasn’t going to risk a repeat of 2012. He and Braves head trainer Jeff Devin Mesoraco Jersey Porter swapped the lenses a few times and tried putting drops in about a dozen times in the middle innings before Freeman had an idea. He Dave Concepcion Jersey would keep the third pair of contacts in his eyes the rest of the game and wear his sunglasses in the field to keep the wind from making things worse. He hoped that blinking would help at the plate since he doesn’t like wearing glasses at-bat because the nose piece gets in his line of vision to the ball.
