Love Scully's response. Never afraid to hammer his own team. 

[Angel Oracle]

They wanted to relive that one inning in the 1966 WS vs the O's, where Willie Davis made 3 errors in that inning.

[Butcher'd]

I dont care what any Dodger fan says. Yasiel Puig is not a star.

 

His power is gone, he can't field, and he can't run the bases.

[Sully151]

I watched all 3:28 just so I could see it again and again. Up by 7 in the sixth and Puig can't just hold on to the ball. More talent than brains.

[19HALO71]

Would still love him on this team.

 

Go Halos!!

[Brandon]

The AW.com Puig Fest continues.

 

The way you guys fawn over him you'd think he was more than above mediocre.

Would still love him on this team.

 

Go Halos!!

 

He has one home run and a handful of RBI since the All-Star break.

 

No thanks!

He is!!!

 

He plays like a little leaguer that just hit the ball for the first time. I wouldn't have a problem with his growing pains. He hasn't even scratched the surface of his abilities. Just hope he isn't in prison or worse before he grows up.

[19HALO71]

He has one home run and a handful of RBI since the All-Star break.

 

No thanks!

And still batting .293 with a .382 OBP. I get it, you don't like the guy. But he is still an amazing talent.

[Sherlock31]

And Dodgers fans want to argue that this guy is better than Trout? 

 

LOL @ Dodgers fans

[Rochambeau]

Did he wag his finger at the Padres after that play?

[Sam Sanchez]

The disgust in Kershaw's reaction is great.

I love how Vin says "that's embarrassing"

Not fawning over it just simply pointing out that he's having a decent season, nothing really special

I saw that live last night on the MLB channel when they cut to the Dodgers game and it was a complete team effort. They kept replaying it and the MLB crew kept laughing. Puig was only involved in the first errant throw and it was Ramirez that threw it away towards home plate. I love Endberg, "What's going on here? A little league game has broken out."

Ya, he is an amazing talent, I'll give you that, but he has very low baseball IQ as well.

[fan_since79]

Mattingly's expression is priceless.

Man, that was comical.

[T.G.]

I also think he's an amazing talent and enjoy watching him play.  I think the bashing he gets from the media and fans is a little over the top.  He's definitely a knucklehead, but he's not a jerk like Pierzynski or a number of other guys.

 

Oh and that play was extremely funny on many levels for sure.

Up by 7 runs with Kershaw on the mound. Take the out and hold the damn ball IMO. 

[Palomar]

Loved some of the fan reactions.  Of course if it was a closer game it might not have been so funny.

[Kenny]

Haha, the SD announcer: "A little league game has broken out."

Not really, because even little leaguers know in fundamental baseball that Puig needs to throw to second in that situation.

Absolutely agree.

That was Dick Enberg. Next you will be saying, Haha, the Los Angelesl announcer...

 

Puig caught the guy way off of first base and tried for the double play. I can't fault the guy for trying considering his arm. Gonzalez was a little handcuffed when it went on the runners side of the bag. That stuff happens on an infield hit but what was pretty unforgivable was the four other plays following Puigs throwing error, including Kershaw not even attempting a tag. Why cover home if you are not going to make a play?

I think Kershaw may have been concerned with the whole blocking the lane BS because he basically moved out of the way.  When he saw how much room there was he seemed to react in disgust.

 

A-Gon laughing afterwards was pretty hilarious IMO.  He may have been the only one.
