He dove and caught a flair in to right center and saved the shutout. He didn't want to come out but Donny took him out anyway.
Don did the smart thing by taking him out as we cannot afford to lose Puig for an extended period of time. I just hope his injury truly is day to day
The Dodgers are 8.5 games out of a playoff spot. There's simply no way they can crawl out of that hole this year. IMPOSSIBLE!! And those who think they can, well let's take a quick look at what the Dodgers lack:
-starting pitching depth
-reliable bullpen
-offense
-defense
-speed
-heart
-effort
-well coached players
-well motivated players
-smart/savvy GM capable of making smart baseball decisions at the trade deadline
The Dodgers have NOTHING going for them other than Kershaw & Ryu. Maybe Greinke can find his groove. But even if that happens, even if the Dodgers have 3 stellar, lock down starting pitchers, what good is it? The offense never gives those guys any run support.
There is no major league baseball team in worse shape than the Dodgers. Even the Marlins are capable of sweeping an opponent. When is the last time the Dodgers swept anyone? Even the Astros have nowhere to go but up. The Dodgers could get even worse.
You think this season is bad now? Just wait. It's going to get MUCH worse.
Welp
Fuck the media? The same media that's been fawning all over you for the last 4 months?

I worry about this kid. He's a super star player for sure. But I'm concerned his attitude is going to get him in trouble sooner or later. From his high speed driving escapades to his blowing through 3rd base coach's stop signs; his apparent disdain for the press, to his rudeness to Luis Gonzalez, Puig seems to be developing a track record of questionable behavior. Maybe it is just immaturity that he will grow out of. I hope so. I'd like to see a winning Dodger team that displays excellence both on and off the field. I much prefer being good while being humble to being good with arrogance. That approach usually backfires. The Dodgers need Yasiel Puig. I don't want him making a stupid mistake that either distracts him from playing well or puts him off the team entirely. Yasiel, you have an incredible opportunity that others only dream of -- don't blow it.
