Puig's Antics

[True Lakers Fan]

Puig is from Cuba, and looks like he's 35.

I wonder how old Puig really is....

The kid is 23 years old - get over it already. He lived in Cuba where freedom of expression wasn't guaranteed. This is barely his first year in the big leagues and he doesn't even speak english yet.

Let the kid grow up a bit - so what if he celebrated.

What would be interesting is to see Puig take a fastball in the ribs, igniting a major "rage event" involving Roidier and Puig right at the plate.

I personally loved the emotion he showed. We need to see more emotion like that in sports

The issue isn't his emotion after his triple. The issue is his antics leaving the batters box, thinking he hit a homer.

I don't like Puig at all. He has so much hype that I think it has gotten to his head. He really needs to be shown that he is only a rookie and that when it comes down to it respect actually means something.

Naturally you don't like him, but if he was traded to your Red Sox you would quickly change your mind

Yeah, same thing Miguel Tejada said.

So now we have to like players on other teams?

You're quite ignorant.

If he was a few years older and had been here even in his second year, I would say he went to far, but he is a rookie and this is an entirely new thing for him. Mattingly has been working with him on the maturity issues all year. Next year you will see him grow up, but you can't expect a 23 year old kid to act like a 35 year old man. Hell I know some 50 years old that act worse then Puig - come on now. If you don't believe me, just spend a day on the NBA forum

I never said you had to like them - I just said that it was natural for you to hate him Dumb Ass Bitch

Who said Puig wasn't 35?

Yeah, same thing Miguel Tejada said.

A child has to be given a chance to grow up and he will. Mattingly acknowledged the situation, and stated that he has been working on it, so that's good enough for me. I see no reason for people to continue bitching and whining about it really

Who said Puig wasn't 35?

Those of us uninterested in cutting him in half, and counting the rings?

Those of us who know, at 35, you tend to calm down and slow down a bit?

Some one in an earlier post said he looked 35 and acted childish. I was pointing out that he is a child. He is 23 years old. Can you remember what you did when you was 23?

Envy and jealousy can play out in all sorts of interesting ways........

I wonder if Puig got his birth certificate from the same place Obama did...

Exactly - he is 23 years old and from Cuba where he had no civil rights. Give him another year and he will learn. My goodness, some of these people in here would execute your five year old for cursing them out

Some. I understand from my friends that I was having a great time then, but, the memory is hazy and fading........

I'm 23 now, I'll let you know when I finish it up.
