If I was a Dodgers fan, I would be concerned about Yasiel Puig going into the postseason. I don't know what the hell he was thinking running on that play. In a 5 or 7 game series, these kind of dumb plays can have huge effects.

he doesn't seem to have the greatest baseball IQ. I have heard that in Cuba the players are taught to play balls out like that and not give a fuck about making a mistake or an out so it probably comes from that.

Puig's not playing every game in postseason...Once Kemp comes back he's platooning with either Crawford or Ethier

How can you not play him every day if he keeps OBP'ing over .900?

Is it easy to beat out those throws in Cuban leagues or is it just about not giving a damn?

Ok he's starting the game. Pinch runner in the 7th when it counts. Bonehead plays like that puts him worse in the dog house. But we'll see when Kemp comes back

E: those cheese steaks look yummy. Damn I need to go check out Philly again

I think guys are just credited and applauding for trying. Beisbol Romantico.

Exactly. His numbers are too impressive to bench him for these kinds of blunders.

Uribe or Gonzo needs to sit and talk to the kid.

lol Uribe's stupid base running blunder earlier in the game is probably what inspired Puig.

Gonzo, Hanley, or Uribe will talk to him. They're his buddies so I'm sure right as he went back to the dugout he got chewed out for it.

They don't call him the wild horse for nothin'. He's got a lot of learning to do .

Exactly. Uribe just made a stupid baserunning decision in the 2nd inning.

Yea but who else would he listen to?

 

[CygnusXS]

How has Minor thrown so many pitches already? At work so I'm just half watching.

 

[Syrinx]

Hey I just saw on MLBN that Travis D'Arnaud is making his debut today. That's cool.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

On their next day off let him go on a hunting trip with Josh Beckett.

Did they ever say why Young left the game?

Ankle soreness. I believe he fouled a ball off his legs.

Oh ok. I switched it after seeing Dustin hit one off his ankle
