NEWS/RUMORS/AROUND MLB Thread

Nor do I only talk shit about Puig.
But that's neither here nor there, don't worry about how much shit I talk regarding Puig, and certainly don't feel as though you have the authority to stop me...you can eat a dick on that behalf.

At least mine, and many others, feelings in regards to Puig is reflected by the FO's actual feelings regarding the player.
You and your constant shit talking about the FO is unwarranted when LAD currently has more wins to this point in the season than they've had in the last few years.
And any shit talking regarding Howie Kendrick is unwarranted as well when he's really a solid LF'er by every measure.
Both the FO and Howie Kendrick are respected around MLB...Puig is not.
So with that rationale, fuck off, worry about yourself.

 

Except he's not.

Whether or not you like Puig, hate him, or abhor him, is this a way a professional FO should handle the proposed trade or demotion of a player on your team?
Conglomeration of classless fucking slobs living in an ivory tower.
Fuck them and the horses they rode in on.
Have some goddam pride in your behavior towards a player, no matter what he's become statistically, who was once a fine, producing Los Angeles Dodger. He doesn't deserve this king of treatment.
Big, sparkling clean tradition to uphold... so they walk away from a guy like Chapman, and then turn around and act like a bunch of low life clams.

 

Again, Puig is off the roster so STFU about him.

 

I have to say, that CBS report is one of the worst examples of writing I have ever seen. I'd be ashamed of releasing that to the public. What did he have a gun to his head? Just using grammar check on Word would have made that piece infinitely better.

 

No.
Now, what are you gonna do about it?

 

It's funny when all the shit comes down what the hacks say and write complimenting the Dodgers we are all supposed to impressed over it...but if they write negative opinions, or the opposite of poster's, they are douchebag idiot illiterates.

 

Their grammar does suck and little errors pop up all the time
Biggest take away for me was the season forecast/chart, on pace for 92 wins before and 94 now, projected division winners

 

We still don't know the full story. If Puig was told very early today, or maybe yesterday, I dunno, Puig should have been fully prepared for the eventual outcome.

In any case, is there anyone else to blame than Puig himself. He has all the physical gifts, and his debut gave every indication that if he kept working, the sky was the limit.

But that is the catch right? It's not like this is year 2 of the experiment. The main problem with Puig is the stuff between his ears. Whether it is the speeding charges, embarrassing incidents in a nightclub, his public statements about not putting in video work, his often boneheaded or just odd decisions on the field, or just his clear decline each year since his debut....all of that was within HIS CONTROL.

This has nothing to do with how the FO or management has treated him.

Only the player can carve his own path to success. And Puig blew more chances than other players get.

Say what you will about Kike or SVS......what is more frustrating for anyone who has the responsibility of running a team than anything is seeing people with such God given potential just screw it up because they are just idiots when it counts. I'd rather have the hard worker, nose to the grindstone, effort maker than the wasted talent.

 

Would this be considered adding another prospect?

 

Lol Or the Trade Puig thread with waiver/trade still a possibility for him

 

Somebody did a photoshopped LAD/Reddick jersey like Anderson's and McCarthy's
Somebody should do one for Puig in a OKC jersey and send it to him Haha

 

Still low class scumbags to treat a player that way whatever he has become. They wouldn't give a fuck if he was a dolt who couldn't write his name if he was playing like he did back when he came up. Please...
Got nothing to do with Kike or SVS.

 

Like all things in life, we may never get the full story. Going back to last year, Donnie's comment about Puig's miraculous recovery from a hammy may have just flowed over to this year.

Like I said, no one will fully know the truth. But, what I do know is that most teams bend over backward to keep and nurture talent. It is in the management's best interests to do so. Something in that chain was broken with the Dodgers, and I cannot believe that the Dodgers are especially unaware of this truth.

Again.....there is no one to blame but Puig. If he continued to work hard instead of acting like.....well....a diva, this would not be an issue.

Remember, this guy was in the HR derby, and there was serious talk of him being in the All Star game after essentially a partial season.

How the mighty have fallen.

Does he even care?
