caulfield12 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) http://www.lamag.com/features/2014/4/13/es...-dodgers/page/1 The best article I've ever seen written about Puig. (Passan references it in his latest column). You will either feel your dislike is confirmed or feel some sort of sympathy for his situation...but probably something in-between.

southsider2k5 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 No confirmation if he was thinking of himself and swooned. Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 14s Yasiel Puig experienced lightheadedness after working out on stationary bike, Don Mattingly confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Eaton made that same exact play (or Rowand) throwing himself into the wall and coming up inches short of a catch, everyone would be saying how tough and gritty he was...the only difference is that Eaton would probably be out for 2-3 months at his size, not just a couple of days. I get it, his numbers are up, so it's a lot harder to criticize him statistically. Edited May 5, 2014 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make light of it, or say he's being a drama queen...it's shades of how the media used to treat some of the best Latin American players in the past.

witesoxfan Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 If Puig crashes into any more fences, I will have no other option but to consider him the next Milton Bradley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Puig is most certainly a drama queen and pretty unlikable guy...but he just crashed into a wall this time. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a huge dude, though...Scully calls him "the wild horse." And on quite a tear right now. Like Viciedo, he's walking more this season. http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/sort/OPS/order/true Tied for 2nd in MLB OPS right now behind Tulo.
