    And what cant Reddick hit?
    Because if all that 'he cant hit fastballs' business was true then why not just pitch him heat every game?
    Do they dont have fastballs in AAA?
    Puig and Reddick have the exact same slash line pretty much for the season, does that mean that Reddick cant hit fastballs either?
    Or that he just cant hit?
    If Puig cant hit fastballs why dont they just throw fastballs at him most of the time?

    *player may only hit hanging breakers on games already well won, or well lost. Never in a game winning situation. DSP holds no accountability when he hits a hanging breaking ball into s DP in the late innings tonight, and throws away a win.

    Stop being stubborn. When he was last in the big leagues, he could not handle big league fastballs. Stop changing the subject.

    What subject?
    This isnt a monologue in front of your mirror. Nor is it Burger King.
    You dont get to just listen to your own opinion. You dont get it your way.
    Your subject seems to be outrage over Puig not hitting.
    My subject is to show you that your subject is selective outrage over Puig.

    So is it Puig's fault we flat out suck against poor teams and lefties?
    Just checking.
    Lol.

    It's not his fault entirely but it would be nice if he was at least average against lefties. At this point we need him to be solid against lefties and who cares against righties but he can't hit the fastball from a lefty for some reason

    Yeah, all true , I guess.
    Does anyone on the Dodgers now?
    We need a lot of things going in to September...a whole lot.
    You could go down the list of team aspects: SR, BP, incredible inconsistency in the lineup that is killing game after game, weak bench, and more frequently questionable moves by DR..up and down the line.
    What's the sense...? Whatever you post is the reasons, as they are to you, someone will argue with you. Ad infinitum.
    I guess be happy first place is ours, at least now.
    The one thing that ,imo, is solid as a rock, is that this team is far from ready for the playoffs. Fsudog 21 is so correct.
    But honestly, going at Puig after one game back , without trying to be insulting, is sophmoric.

    Puig has a .244 avg against lefties.
    Thats prett low. And a good .20 pts lower than his avg.
    Yet still better than most every other dodger.
    Howie is the only outfielder with a good sample size thats better againt lefties than Puig. And howie is really a 2b. Which maked Puig our best hitting outfielder against lefties and our most complete hitter/player in the outfield.

    Yeah, Puig is about 60 OPS pts below average VS s/paws
    I don't blame the FO for going with Segedin and seeing what he had with the year he was having in OKC
    Trayce going down was a big blow, but having him back next year will be nice, along with perhaps Toles/Ethier and then maybe they revisit the Puig for Braun swap in the off-season and add him to picture.
    Joc/Braun/Ethier/Trayce/Toles + probably Howie in a corner as well since they want Chase back at 2B ( who's unbelievable defensively)
    That'd be a nice OF picture next season to go with re-signed JT and a pretty damn good infield picture.

    I want to see Puig and Reddick in the Thunderdome. Might get both to perform better.

    FYI, Reddick looks like a stick next to Puig. Which makes me think why Puig is so feeble in some situations.

    Dude pay note I've been with Rube on Puig's value all along

    "IF" he gets his headcase of a pea brain Dodgers aligned and learns at least a synonym of the word 'dedicated' then he's still a better RF than 88% of the guys in the MLB




    but yeah there have been few DSP Puig supporters overall.
