NLCS Game 3 Cardinals @ Doyers

[jshep]

If I was on the mound and Puig did that, I would throw a fastball at his head. Enough of that shit. His bat flips are ridiculous.

 

Thank god you're not a major league pitcher then.

[Jay]

Someone should sit Puig down and make him watch the video of Ortiz grand slam against DET the other night.

Celebrating < Putting one in his dome possibly ending his career

Seems a fair trade off.

Didn't say I'd hit him in the head. Just throw at his head. Make him hit the deck a few times before I drill him in the back.

Man.  I just feel so bitter that when the Dodgers play well, and get to the LCS, that all the local news says, "Let's root for our boys in blue!"  But when the Angels are in a LCS, they report it after the Lakers' news.

[Amazing Larry]

Southbound Interstate 5 bias!

People didn't have a problem when weaver did it to avila and the tigers

I'll bet the Anaheim TV station reports it ahead of the Lakers news

Puig's a 22 year old rookie playing in the playoffs. I'm not gonna get upset over his antics. He's probably having the time of his life. Can't imagine how much fun that would be to be playing a damn GAME in that kind of atmosphere

 

I watch sports for entertainment. I'd hate it if every player was like Brian McCann, who is apparently the unofficial policeman for baseball etiquette

[HaloFan85]

I have no problem with what Puig did considering their situation.  They're down 2-0 in the series and facing their #1 pitcher, and I also believe that was Puig's 1st hit of the series.  They needed something or someone to get them fired up.  That's what teams that play with heart do.  All the 'play like you been there before' talk is kind of ridiculous when it comes to Puig.  The kid defected from Cuba just LAST year.  He's only had the joy of living and playing with freedom for 1 year for crying out loud.  The kid is on cloud 9 right now.  How can anyone fault him for that?

[CaliAngel]

Yeah the Angels have their little "salute" that they do after a base hit, which is borderline but nobody here seems to object to it.

Not a fan of that either. The more they let this crap happen, the more we're gonna see it.

I like to see the guys acting like professionals during the game.

Celebrate like asshats once you win.

[Season Over]

I would have less of a problem with Puig and the Dodgers if they pulled this crap after accomplishing something of substance.

As of right now, it's a team that hasn't won a World Series in almost 30 years and acts like the '27 Yankees.

[Brandon]

Ridiculous post.

They won the division and had huge at bats to win the game. No one is booking a parade.

Imagine if other fans thought we were clowns for getting excited during 2002.

You're also basically saying one team a year should be allowed to get pumped because they win the world series.

I suppose the Ortiz grand slam was also lame when the team and fans got excited?

It just looks weak when you're down 2-0 in a series and you're acting like you won the World Series. I'm not a stuffy "unwritten rules" guy, but this Dodger team is acting ridiculous.

[Pbonetheman]

I'm a fan of players getting pumped up no matter of their standing in the series. Comebacks don't happen from docile teams. I do think it is silly to lift your hands like you hit it out and it hits the wall. I'm even less of a fan of his pouting in the dugout in the previous games.

I think that's where I'm lost, can you explain how they are acting like they won the World Series?

Obviously the World Series comment was hyperbole, but Puig's triple is a perfect example of being ridiculous. The dude was 0 for the series prior to that hit.

[CaliAngel]

You're not going to convince him. He enjoys the showboating and poor sportsmanship, not gonna change his mind.

Ha, and did you see how mature Ortiz acted when he hit that ball? Would like to see some of that professionalism from the Dodgers, that's all.

[jshep]

Wait, is David Ortiz really being held up as an example of not "showing up" the other team or "pimping" HRs?

 

Cause that dude is a top tier bat flipper/HR admirer.

David Ortiz is a c*nt. He has the biggest vagina ever. He will cry and moan whenever a call doesn't go his way or whenever a pitch comes anywhere near him. I hate him and hope he chokes on a chicken mcnugget.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

That was f'n hammered...

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Regarding Matt Holliday's HR in game 4...

[fan_since79]

Mattingly will be second-guessed for not starting Greinke.

[gotbeer]

Not starting Greinke is looking like the right choice so far.  

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

The Cards offense finally woke up. 3-0 Cards.
