Puig again

[CaliAngel]

Dodger Stadium security is upset with him for using his interpreter to try and pick up women.

Wow Ted Berg, you are an asshat.

 

You created this monster, by contributing to the now overwhelming hype around Yasiel Puig, and now we all have to "be okay" with it?

 

Screw that. Two months in the league or not, if the guy is acting like a child on the field and a douchebag off the field, he should be called on it.

[SigBaby]

Sucks now after his month of glory. I dont know what adjustments pitchers have been making, but his average is down to .369, with his BABIP still at .455 suggesting he still has a ways to fall. Walking at 4.1% and striking out at 24.1%. Ouch

[mancini79]

I don't think pitchers have adjusted to him. He was performing at an insane rate and eventually was going to come back down to earth.

[Mudville]

Puig is hitting .254 for the month of July.

[m0nkey]

Now if only Hanram can fall down to earth

[bloodbrother]

He has the worst swinging strike % by a wide margin. The other 4-5 hitters who are close to him all have BA's around .230 or below. He's about to enter his adjustment period

[TooCool]

I joked with some of my friends who are Dodger fans back in late June. "Go watch him play while he's hot." They didn't believe me because he's obviously the greatest player to ever play baseball.

[ScottT]

"I've helped make him a big shot"

 

Amazing.

The dodgers gotta be the favorite to come out of the NL they have it all unfortunately the bats & the arms

Puig being Puig. Hits a ball off the wall but stares at it like it's a HR. He only made it to 2nd because Hanley was scoring. But all media talks about his RBI Double and HR in extras. If Harper pulled this stunt last year, they would be criticizing him for hot-dogging the double. It seems that Puig is getting a pass from the media for acting like a douche.

Get over it! He is who he is

[mancini79]

Get over it! He is who he is

 

At least you agree.

[Jay]

Pretty impressive highlight reel for Puig, and all you can talk about is what a douche he is.

[ScottT]

Apparently, Vin Scully just criticized Puig for flipping his bat after drawing a walk.  

 

Puig should be proud of drawing a walk, but that is a bit much.  

[m0nkey]

Pujols flips his bat too

[ScottT]

After a walk... like Puig did?   I didn't see it.  Don't know.

 

I do like that Pujols barked at that loudmouth asshat Grant Ballfour last night.  

[m0nkey]

Pujols probably doesn't do it to the degree puig does (didn't see it, and puig bat flips after hitting singles and doubles), but pujols definitely does a little flip after a walk

[ScottT]

Thats my guess, too. Im sure ill see it. Everything seems to get blown out of proportion these days.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Puig is hitting .254 for the month of July.

 

Must be the hangover from being elected to the Hall of Fame during his first month, the distraction of the induction ceremony and all that. 

[ScottT]

No worries. He'll win the home run derby next year and nobody will seem to notice he is hitting .220

[m0nkey]

Walk off jack after striking out 3 times

[Ohtaniland]

Our neighbors are in 1st place. 

[austin724]

Oh well, they are not are rivals.  Who really cares.  Remember the years we were in it and they weren't. 

[austin724]

Well said Scott. 

[Pdblu]

Probably, but Trout will want out of Anaheim. I'll guarantee that.
