Yasiel Puig
 

This guy is a beast. Tons of people/sports analyst are already comparing him to Bo Jackson. I'll be at the game tonight. Go Dodgers!!!!!!

Hope he keeps this shiz up, I needs more homeruns!!!

He stutter?

Bo Jackson you say?
Better bring him in for a look

hope he has insurance on his hips

He plays football to?

Great start, still a ways to go to earn that $42 million. I love these stories though.

Uh huh...:mad:

:LOL:

You just received an iCockpunch.

Redeemable at any Apple store...

lol @ the frenchy si cover response

No shit, JFC reeruns.

He's white. That was his problem.

what color is trout?

But, to the OP, being a giants die hard, I hate this guy already, but no doubt, hes putting up massive numbers. Wow.

I wasn't talking about Trout. Stupid.

I'm not saying he's the next Bo Jackson, It's just what I heard. Doesn't mean anything, but it's nice to see we finally have a player to be excited for. Kemp is always banged up.

Annnnnnnd he hits another home run!!!!!!

Your picture is a little delayed...

Will this guy be a superstar... or the Jeremy Lin of baseball.

The next Kevin Maas.

Naw, this dude is good, he hit over 500 in spring training, was tearing it up in double A as well.

Dodgers just didnt want to reward him with bringing him up to fast, which is ****ing stupid! Then again, they had, Crawford, Kemp and Either in the outfield, but 2 guys went down so he came up!

yeah, I'll pay attention when he does it for more than one season, or at least for one. :)

:(

He just got intentionally walked in the 8th inning with a runner on 3rd base. Pretty good for your 5th game.

lol, Yeah, thats taking the league by storm. Hey kid, i know its your 5th game of yoru career, but we are going to intentionally walk you! lol

Damn Hanley almost jacked that one out for the win. Extra innings

Saw an autographed ball at a sports card store going for $100....Adrian Gonzalez was only $60.

Sad thing about Griffey is we think of him as wasted potential because he was injured so much... the guy still hit like 630 homers. He's right near the top of the list and ahead of almost all the steroid guys.

DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!

That's the BEST thing about Griffey: There is no way in the world that anyone will ever question if he played the game the right way.

If he had juiced (which I'm glad he did not), he'd have blown away Bonds.

he played to many years on that damn hard turf in seattle, ****ed his knee's up. Also he played pretty recklessly out in CF. He should have been the greatest ever, but ended up pretty ****ing great lol

Hes the next Bo Jackson.

Do you like being kicked in the balls?

I wish I bowled more. Averaged 220 in HS, and managed to register a 225-245 at some point in college and law school, haven't bowled in years, though.

Loved some backhand no spin bowling, where you release with slight initial backspin with the back of your hand forward. What I lost in pin action, I more than gained in control.

Bo Jackson, huh? A ballplayer could hear far worse comparisons than one of most-celebrated athletic talents ever. Dodgers star Matt Kemp made the same comparison once already.

LMAO

Dude, he's Bo Jackson recinarnated? Tearing up AA, and getting walked with a guy on third base(even though there were 2 bases open)!!! I'm going penor for Puig!

No, you referred to Francour as being White, and I asked what color was trout. Hes White. Get the comparison genius.........
**** you.......Sincerely, the reigning WS champs.
Jeremy Lin had marginal talent. What he did, was play in new York where he was showcased, and embraced by every Asian in the world....hes a horrible basketball player.
They probably kept him down like the Giants kept posey down, to extend out his rookie and arbitration years. This spells the end of Eithier in LA one would have to think.
If Bonds hadn't juiced, he would of been the only member of the 500/500 club. He also was a 4 time MVP before he started juicing, and was already one of the best players in the league. The reason he wasn't recognized as such was he is an Asshole, and didn't play nice with the media like Griffey. Barry Bonds was every bit of the player that Junior was, and a better hitter.

Either is a goner. By putting Puig in rf instead of center is the writing on the wall. Once Kemp comes back he goes to center and there is not a spot for Dre.

No way in hell can they justify sending Puig back down.

Shut up n00b. I have a big cock for you to suck on. Just don't choke.

Ethier has never been anything more than a solid starter in his best years. That contract was absolutely asinine.

You're full of shit.

It was damned close. Maybe Griffey had a little more power before the juice, But Bonds was really really ****ing good.

Ken Griffey Jr, in his first 5 years, hit for higher average, had better numbers overall, and was the best defensive outfielder in the game.

Griffey was my HERO, man.

Griffey is my favorite baseball player ever. By far. My entire baseball career I wore #24. In fact, my number in every sport was #24. I hit lefty so I tried to emulate my swing after Jr.

That being said...

He was not the hitter Barry Bonds was...pre or (obviously) post steroids. His swing was the most beautiful thing in sports...but Bonds was ALWAYS the better hitter. ALWAYS.

from 1992 to 2007 Barry Bonds' lowest .OPS (the most important metric to determine how good of a hitter someone is) was .999.

Griffey only had an .OPS over 1.000 4 times and was only over .900 TWICE from 2000-2010.

and here is my best Barry Bonds proof that steroids didn't suddenly turn him from star to superstar...that he was always superstar

1993: 129/46/123 .336/.458/1.136 (29 SBs)
1994: (Strike Season) 37 HR's in 112 games

He was raking better than Miguel freaking Cabrera in 1993. He was on pace for like 55 HR's in 1994.

Barry Bonds was always the best in the game. Steroids just turned him into a guy that somehow managed to get on base 61% of the time in a single year LMAO

Sorry, I must call bullshit on your "220" average. Your second paragraph gave you away. It's like somebody claiming to know something about football and then talking about the time a quarterback kicked a touchdown.

and as much as I love Griffey (and I do), his WAR from 2000-2010 was BARELY above replacement level most seasons.

Griffey was a sensation in the 90s. He was then washed up for 10 years. I'm happy he (and Frank Thomas) didn't succomb to peer pressure and roid up...

but I can also respect the best roider in the roid era...Barry Bonds was ****ing awesome.

Yep. The best bowler in our bowling league averaged a 219 this year. I've seen several people average 225 over the years...one of my best friends had a 231 average 4 years ago and it seemed like he was turning in a 750 every ****ing week...

but no ****ing backhand spinner is going to average a 225...you can't constantly leave 7 and 10 pins and be a 225 bowler...and there is no ****ing way a guy who isn't throwing a correct hook has an average a 225. At least say 200 and make it believable.

He already said that style causes him to have little pin action...well, guy, if you don't have pin action, you aren't AVERAGING a 225.

He may have got lucky once and bowled a 220, and now he thinks that was his average. Kind of like a golf n00b who managed to par a hole once and thinks he can shoot in the 70s.

Call BS if you wish, but some in some crate was our senior year jerkoff 'Lifetime Sports' PhysEd bowling records. Haven't gazed upon it in a while, nearing 25 years, but it was over 220, almost sure in the 225 range. And if my terminology is off it was because I wasn't taught. We just went to the alley 3x a week for a semester and free-bowled.

Give it up. You might be able to kid yourself into thinking you averaged 225 without knowing anything about the game and with a girlish backhand release, but any real bowler knows that your story is total bullshit.

You may have bowled a 225 GAME once. Anyone can do it once. There's a huge ****ing difference between doing it once and AVERAGING 225.

If I get a hole in one, does that mean my average score for 18 holes of golf is 18?

I'm not trying to be a dick...I just find it incredibly hard to believe a backup bowler can average a 225...when the best of the best that bowl at our local bowling alley will average that every 5 years or so...and generally between 215 and 220.

I've bowled a 300 before. Bowled it 2 years ago when I was 22 at Olympia Lanes in St. Joe. It was during a practice game, but who the **** cares. A 300 is still a 300.

A 300 in practice is a nice accomplishment. Congratulations!

But it doesn't really count. I've bowled four 300s in league competition and one in a tournament. I've also bowled two 300s while practicing. Whenever anybody asks me how many 300s I've bowled, I always say "five". It would never even occur to me to say "seven".

Nobody cares how many home runs Eric Hosmer hits in batting practice.

Maybe Baby Lee is Amish.

Sorry that isn't a good analogy. Batting practice and facing a live pitcher throwing sliders, change ups and 90 plus mph heat is drastically different than an ex back up catcher throwing straight 70 mph meatballs in batting practice.

Are the pins moving when you bowl in a league game? That would be a better analogy.

To, me a legit 300 game is a 300 game.

Why would you say anything else?

Dodgers get Kemp and Crawford back and Healthy they might be a force.

I think it was Hud mocking the comparison to Bo during yesterdays game. Something along the lines of get back to me when he puts a linebackers flat on his back in the end zone.

No way. You can't have a 2B and 3B as shitty as theirs and compete. Moreover, Hanley Ramirez is a shell of himself at this point. 3/4 of that infield is barely above replacement level.

The Dodgers are run like the 2008-2012 Red Sox and they'll get the same results.

I always love it when non-bowlers try to argue about bowling. If you actually knew anything about the sport of bowling you would know that the analogy is spot on. When you bowl in a league you are bowling on a pair of lanes instead of a single lane, and you've got 9 other bowlers throwing their balls in roughly the same area on the lanes.

Just the fact that you are bowling on two lanes instead of one makes it a lot more difficult because you almost always have to play slightly different angles to the pocket on each lane because the lanes aren't identical. Plus, the 9 other bowlers cause the oil on the lanes to move and break down, so you have to anticipate the changes and make slight adjustments (usually by moving your feet a board or two on the approach and/or a moving your target on the lane a board or two to either the left or the right). When the oil breaks down, the ball hooks more.

So to answer your question, No, the pins don't move. But the oil moves A LOT in league play, and it doesn't really move at all in open play.

Serious question: How can you track the movement of oil?

You can't see it, because the oil is clear and therefore virtually invisible. But when you throw the exact same shot with the exact same speed and the exact same amount of lift over and over but the ball starts to hook more and more, you know the oil has either moved or evaporated. It's called burning out the lanes as the night goes on.

On some nights it's not too bad, especially if the guys on the other team are mostly left-handers or if they're not very good. Somebody throwing a straight ball down the middle of the lane doesn't cause the oil to move around where it matters. But if all 10 bowlers are right-handed, they all throw a big hook, and especially if most of them are throwing bowling balls made of reactive resin (which really soaks up the oil), the angle that you have to play to the pocket changes drastically as the night goes on because your ball starts hooking more and more.

Just follow Donger around.

Oh wait, wrong thread.
