Puig

[T.G.]

I don't understand the Puig hate...

 

You can enjoy Puig without taking anything away from Trout.

 

I look forward to seeing him in August when the Dodgers come to Anaheim.

[AngelsFanSince86]

Actually I think it's just plain old internet hate.

 

 

Well I live in San Francisco so I can assure you the trash talk on Puig extends outside of the internet.  He's arrogant and he is a Dodger. What do you expect?

To me it has nothing to do with Trout.  I think Puig is a great player, but his d-bagness makes it hard to like him because he is already on my least favorite team.  Its hard enough to like Kershaw who is a very likable guy simply because he is on the Dodgers.  Just rivalry.  I respect what both guys do and enjoy watching them play.

The Dodgers fans on this board are up in arms, lol.

[Butcher'd]

Puig is completely out of control, and a serious douchebag. I remember going to school in May and all the Dodger fans would tell me he's the best player in the league by far. I hate that fanbase very much and it makes me happy watching him struggle

For me I just don't get the constant incorrect use of the term "hate" on this board.

It's the new fad, any kind of criticism or dislike of anything is labeled "hate"

[bloodbrother]

I believe it's called h8

This.

 

There is a big difference between "sports hate" and "life hate."  As an Angels fan, I have always (sports) hated the Yankees.  But sports hate really just good natured rivalries.  It's nothing like the hate Fred Goldman has for OJ Simpson. 

 

I've sports hated Jeter for his whole career, but that's only because he wasn't on my team.  He was on the Yanks!  From everything we know about him, he's a really good human being that gives great gift baskets.  I was happy for him last night.  I was happy for Mario last year.  The special attention they received during their final All Star games were well deserved.  

 

Where is the drama in sports if you can't have both a good guy and bad guy?  For every Batman, there needs to be a Joker.  It's part of the fun.

Puig certainly is a joker.

Steve Mason and MoMo were literally talking about Puig vs Trout 5 minutes ago.

She basically said there is nothing inside Trout's head besides baseball unlike Jeter who is an international man of mystery and depth.

The they said Puig is the biggest star in town and that you could write or report about every play he is a part of.

No mention of 0 home runs and 3 strikeouts though.

[ukyah]

3 strikeouts is silver sombrero. 4 is golden. get it right people or else it's chaos.

[Taylor]

Angels fans have a bigger hard on for Puig than Dodgers fans. Its getting kinda pathetic. Who ****ing cares?

 

We're sorry your favorite player struggled in the HRD and ASG, but don't take it out on us.

Less than 100% support of something = hate.

Trout doesn't have enough flair for espn 710.

Those two are annoying anyway, they latch onto anything that's trending in twitter

I heard that conversation. Her point made little sense. I can't stand MoMo, haven't agreed with any she has said on air for the past year. Mason is a fool and can't analyze sports. He's an arrogant SC and Dodgers homer. Loves making fun of UCLA even though they gave SC a thumping last year. So sick of local sports talk.

[DB24]

These Puig and Trout comparisons need to stop already.

 

Puig isn't even a planet in Trout's universe.

[Lou]

I see the "I'm above all of this" crowd made an appearance.

PUig stunk up Minnesota

mad bro?

[Bruce Nye]

ESPN is a Laker station and have become Dodger homers.  People who listen to them talk about baseball should change the station,  They are clueless.  Roger Lodge is more listenable and that is saying something.

[yk9001]

What on earth is a MoMo?

[Lou]

I was just about to ask the same question
