that or a dude truying to make 12 million dollars in 3 years when he gets out of prison.

You must have missed this.

<b>Puig and his mother testified in a 2010 trial in which Corbacho Daudinot was convicted of human trafficking – basically, of plotting Puig’s escape from Cuba. </b>

I don't know if it warrants 12 million, but it makes him a commie narc.

Plenty of outfielders make that play. I hate when players get all hyped up and people start treating every thing they do as phenomenal. "Oh man, did you see that shit Puig took today?" "yea, man, that was the best shit ever!"

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Hud would say if he worked for the Dodgers.

"Yeah, that's a shit that most guys can only dream of taking!"

Hanley Has been SOOOO good the last month. Unreal the way he's playing.

to be young and wreckless. He needs to tone it down a bit. he's going to get hurt, but he can cover some ground.

Gonna join gimp boy Kemp on the bench at this rate.

And Puig just homered


6-3 Dodgers top of the 10th

8-3 bitches.

Bring out the brooms

Puig is starting to get that batspeed back. Could see it in yesterdays game and had a good game today.

Dodgers are just smashing the ball right now. Im not used of all this offense. lol

Nice run to get the lead in the NL West.

Walk-off Home run in the 11th First of his career!

Lol where are the geniuses who said he's gonna tank? Hiding in the bushes I'm sure.

WTF

HAHAHA. Did he really think it was a catch after hitting off the wall?

That is just otherworldly concentration. Too bad it didn't count.

Also, I know this is not a popular sentiment, but the dude needs to lay off the turbo button a bit or he's going to be permainjured. You can only slam into a wall at full speed so many times without consequences.

Football players say, "Hi!"

LMAO

Dude leave them alone. They are busy trying to create a legend.

They also have careers that average 2-3 years less than a MLB player. Coincidence?

Also, I Q'd. Need to read thread.

I'm intrigued by Puig because I just love watching incredible talent, especially post-steroid era.

But more than anything... man, love Donnie Baseball. It's a crying shame that the guy never won a single playoff series. Even Yankee haters can't possibly hate the guy. Would love to see him do some damage in the postseason, especially after he got unfairly shit on by a critical media.

Showing up your teammate while standing on 2B? In full view of everyone? He still has a lot to learn.

Confused...? What did he do

Of course he has a lot to learn he's been free of cuba for about a year lol. He's 22 years old. Every little thing he does is going to be dissected lol

Gonzales didn't run home from 3rd and in the moment Puig got upset but later in the inning they were talking in the dug out laughing n giving one another hugs. After the game was over gonzo saught him out n gave him a big ole bear hug.

Griffey's recklessness while he was young probably took a good 1-3 years out of his prime. He would go full speed into the center field fence. So, you crashing into the walls often can shorten your career.

That terrible astro turf he played on for 10 years was probably the bigger factor. The stuff they use now days is tons better

[QUOTE=Fruit Ninja;9861731]or the steroids he was on.

Im ok with anyone in the play offs. Kershaw, GRienke and Ryu. Ill take my chances. All 3 have era's below 3 now i think and Kershaw at 1.87. Good luck.

my bad greinke's is 3.4, but he's been pitching lights out the last month and a half and Ryu is at 3.14 lol

Pig has played exactly one third of a season and has a WAR of 3.6. That's ****ing incredible.

Puig with 12 walk in the last 13 games. Plate discipline adjustment was fast. Putting a beatdown on the cards. Love it

Cards are a joke. Next.

ROFL Dude, you act like Puig will be slamming into walls every game for the next 5 years. A few wall bangings a season doesn't equate to a hundred of those same collisions a year in football. Give me a break. Let the man play baseball how he wants within league rules.

Oh yeah weren't 3 guys on the All Star team suspended for PED? Yeah Puig should have been on the team. All Star = joke

I love the guy's aggressiveness, but it scares me. It's not just hitting walls. I've seen outfielders hurt their ribs, sprain their wrists diving for balls. It's one of those tough things because you don't want to tell him to tone it down, but you also know that he can be an injury risk if he doesn't.

I like the guy because I get excited to see a special talent like this. I just don't want to see him go down the Griffey path where he's always on and off the DL.

This kid reminds me of my favorite player of all time. Junior. He's going to personally turn me into a Dodger fan if he keeps this shit up.

I didn't say they equated. In fact, I didn't bring up football at all. YOU did. I simply stated that going balls out 100% of the time will get you hurt and likely shorten your career in baseball. You're the one who wanted to make the comparison to football, so that's why I pointed out the measurable difference in career length.

There's a reason guys don't run out every fly ball or grounder. You can get away with pacing yourself a little bit in baseball, and that's why so many guys can be productive deep into their careers. A 90-95% effort from Puig over 150 games is much better than getting 70 games at 100% because he separated his shoulder slamming into the wall or pulled a hammy trying to leg something out.

Pete Rose does not endorse this post.

Exceptions to every rule, I suppose, and Charlie Hustle is certainly the most glaring.

It would have been really interesting to see how long Bo would have played if he didn't play football.

Come over to the dark side, Flop. Maybe we need to go hit up a Dodger game sometime. :evil:

AJ Ellis with a 3 run bomb. Dodgers up 4-1.

No. 100% all the time. Baseball players have gotten lazy and it's complete bullshit. I absolutely despise seeing a player refuse to run through the bag when they think they know they're out. You hit the ball and head down booking it to first. I hate seeing players making it to the peak of competition start neglecting the basics and trying to look cool. Puig is how all ML players should play.

wow at that triple by Puig. lol He was flying.

He's batting .377 still. .480 the last 2 series. lol

He's a machine

There was only one machine. Lets see him do it for the next 11 years. Then he is in the conversation.
http://allthingsnext.com/wp-content/...wallpaper3.jpg

Broken down ass machine now, but dude was a beast. Puig is just awesome all the way around. His whole game is 5 star.

6-1 on the roach trip, not bad!

Ban

Frauds

Check there streak stats bro

Jeff Francoeur

I would rather talk championships

If he's in the Ken Griffey Jr talk then he's in the Willie Mays discussion as well.

U mad bro?

More than a little early for comparisons to who many consider the greatest player ever, no?

Puig is having an unreal season, but his defense is not even in the same conversation as Mays and Griffey Jr.

I wasn't doing the comparison, but if someone is comparing him to Jr. then Willie is the same category of discussion.

If we're making comparisons to Willie, Mike Trout is a much closer match than Puig.

Trout is Mickey Mantle and I'm making that comparison

A double hit for Puigilishish

Gonzo beast 6-0 Dodgers
