    'Training on how to be a pro' will fix his mechanics, pitch selection, competence with RISP, etc?

    I don't buy it.

    Joc has been our most productive player. Puig one of the least. Idc about RBI when comparing players.

    Training to be a pro is taming his wildness. But the wildness was a big part of his mental approach.
    So he has had to relearn how to play.
    Once it clicks in you may see a total transformation.

    When he scored from second on that error it started the conversation at our house about that exact thing
    The wild aspect of his game is what makes him so exciting
    And now if he could just lay off those sliders

    Good question? Woulda been horrible for him if he tried to make up for being a total jerk by getting nailed at home.
    "Loose cannon" was created to accurately describe him. Admiring a shot that didn't even go out ( or did) is unforgiveable and bush...always.
    In a way, although his ego and ignorance of bb fundamentals is annoying most of the time, I do feel sorry for him...like Hodor and the dire wolves on G o T.

    Its like when europeans arrive in africa or native american lands and see titties everywhere... they cant handle it.
    So they punish the women for being exposed and put long dresses on them so they can get yeast infections in all that humidity and heat.
    Its tough at first but eventually after much taming the natives learn a middle path and start wearing shorts, skirts and t-shirts.
    And in order to get more sun since their dark skins naturally block out the calcium and mineral rich rays of the sun they go out and play sports in their shorts and t-shirts.
    Baggy pants help oxygen and airflow into the undercarriage which allows for potent horsepower in the baby making and homer hitting.
    Inventing the shirts vs skins game whenever the whites want to play too.
    That way the sun naturally gives the blacks an advantage.
    But not really since they need way more sun than the whites to get the vitamin K to enter the bloodstream.
    So in turn they play more and practice makes perfect.
    Why blacks and natives from up north tend to have sickle cell anemia. Africans dont have that problem and neither do farm workers.
    Whites always end up learning what the blacks do and copying it.
    From sports to rock n roll.
    Whites have wild horses too, theres a song about that... wanna hear it here it goes.
    But thats just cuz some whites are born with a soul as black as the sun.
    And it takes some time to sow them wild oats.
    Leaving a trail of slimey lumpy oatmeal along the way.
    At some point though we all have to get our manes brushed and our tails rubbed.
    Or is it the other way round.
    I dont know, im in the barn just shooting the hay and chewing the cud.

    Good he deserved to be benched.

    Run. Run first. Run then look to see if you can keep running. But run first.

    My little league coaches words still echo many decades later. Did Puig never have a real coach while in Cuba?


    Well it appears that Mr. Roberts intends to change that...

    I thought you would like that little bit of color thrown in.
    Cholos with tbeir saggy pants have the right idea.
    Looks stupid but keeps the batter solid.

    They use natural fibers and loose underoos.
    And lots of myrrh and frankincense.
