We all understand that. But the fire and the fight from this team is unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Rojas saw Freeman limping around the clubhouse early Saturday afternoon, he thought there was \u201cno chance\u201d Freeman would play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he had like a 5% chance with how he looked when he got here,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody expected him to play. It was borderline a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freeman went through a workout on Friday but woke up so sore on Saturday that he told his 8-year-old son, Charlie, \u201cI don\u2019t know if Daddy is going to be able to play today.\u201d Freeman arrived at Dodger Stadium at 10:45 a.m. and received several hours of treatment that reduced the swelling in his ankle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-enhancement\" data-video-disable-history=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-enhancement-player\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/a4IvXqc67_U?t=114<\/p>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div id=\"youtube-video-player-f186bffa5efd144a2a9ac96821b6b47cc\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Freeman went through his normal pregame workout on the field, and after hitting off a high-velocity pitching machine in the batting cage about 2\u00bd hours before first pitch, he told manager Dave Roberts he felt good enough to play. That decision looked pretty good after Freeman\u2019s sharp single in the first inning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat really helped with the feeling-out process,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cI felt good after my first at bat, so I knew I could do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But good enough to steal a base? That seemed unfathomable to players and coaches in both dugouts, to Padres pitcher Dylan Cease and to just about everyone in a sellout crowd of 53,028.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the stolen base was just pure luck,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cI leaned into Clayton [McCullough, first-base coach], and said, \u2018What is [Cease\u2019s time to the plate]? They know I have a sprained ankle, and I figured they didn\u2019t think I was gonna steal. He said, \u20181.65 seconds.\u2019 I said, \u2018Can I go?\u2019 And he goes, \u2018Can you run?\u2019 And I just took off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, 90 feet means a lot in this game, especially in the postseason. I know I took a big risk with how I\u2019m feeling, but the opportunity presented itself, and I had to go for it. If I can\u2019t play the game the right way, I shouldn\u2019t be out there. So I was feeling good enough, adrenaline took over. But the adrenaline\u2019s worn off now. I\u2019m tired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What did Roberts think when he saw Freeman take off for second?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was holding my breath,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that crash landing, I wanted to make sure he was able to get up. Freddie, as a competitor, felt there was a chance to get into scoring position with nobody out. It\u2019s a calculated play. I guess he was playing possum with everybody. But it\u2019s just a heady play and a gutsy play. \u2026 He just willed himself into the lineup. He was certainly medicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to physical therapy sessions and extensive pregame treatments, pain-killers will be part of Freeman\u2019s daily regimen for the rest of the
