Puig again

[fan_since79]

With two outs and the bases loaded, and the Dodgers trailing by one run in the bottom of the 7th, he swings badly at the first two pitches, sliders down and away (Hamilton, anyone?), then drills a 2-run single to put the Dogs ahead. 

 

Crowd goes crazy, screaming "M..V..Puig!"

 

Puig is hitting .500 with RISP this year.

(not Hamilton anyone?)

[DW711]

Just stay relatively healthy and the Dodgers should win that division.

[fan_since79]

In 22 games, his line is

 

.435 /.467 /.729

 

[gotbeer]

It's just nuts how he's hitting.  Will be interesting to see if he continues it all season, because there is a big difference between 22 games and 162 games.  And if he does, Doggie fans will be packing the stadium next year to see if he is the real deal.  

[Halos of Anaheim]

Beast.

[Docwaukee]

the pitch he hit was actually in a similar spot as the other two and he reached way off the plate to get it.  At some point I would imagine they will expand the zone even more but the guy has show the ability to hit the bad ball really well.  Can't imagine a 3% walk rate will allow him to continue what he's doing.

[fan_since79]

Kemp just stole second and then third, and scores on a Sac fly.

[bloodbrother]

The plate approach needs works. He swings at everything, but he has scary plate coverage, ala Vlad Guerrero

[fan_since79]

22 years old

6 ft, 3 in

245 pounds

 

That's some good juice he's drinking.

 

Just kidding, but really...the kid is a specimen.

[fan_since79]

Doyers win their 6th in a row.

 

Greinke gets the W.

 

Ugh..

[rageous]

That last at bat he swung at 3 balls well out of the strike zone.

He's not going to continue what he is doing and will not do well if he doesn't develop better patience.

Also, everything he has hit finds a hole.  He's vladesque in that he gets the bat on the ball, but Vlad could hit that pitch for a hr. 

 

Puig seems legit, but when you swing that much, they are going to find some holes in his swing. 

[nando714]

Dodgies gonna run away with the west

[bloodbrother]

Yeah, he'll obviously have a slump/adjustment period. Dude's hitting over .400 for crying out loud and I think has only 2 unintentional walks all season. Credit though, he keeps finding a way to just get the bat on the ball regardless of where it's thrown

It's about time.

It's just like a bunch of other guys.

 

Sliders low/away and bust them in and see how they respond.

[DW711]

We should trade for him at the deadline then watch him immediately transform into a .220 hitter.

 

It still might not be that bad if his home run rate continues.

[tomsred]

It's all about adjusting, let's see how well he handles that .

[HaloCory22]

I was at the game tonight. That kid is amazing in person. Everyone was on their feet for his at bat. Hes making everyone step their game up. Kemp with a 2 hit, 2 SB game. Ethier with a 2 RBI double. 

 

Hes doing exactly what Trout did for us in 2012.

[CaliAngel]

We should keep Dog discussion off the "Angels Daily" board, it's all just pissing me off.

drills? the **** are you talking about..

It was a lucky seeing eye single

[sneaky_flute]

he'll need to hone his approach. he has absolutely no plate discipline

[Vegas Halo Fan]

The guy is on an incredible run, the likes of which I have never seen.

I was going by the radio call. Of course they were Dodger broadcasters.
