    Heroic Yasiel Puig To Assembled Media: "Fuck The Media"

    Before today's game at Marlins Park, the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig cut right to the chase regarding his thoughts on the people who write about him.

    Josh Friedman @Friedo790

    Yasiel Puig was in the visitors clubhouse here at #Marlins Park & looked at us gathered there and yelled, "F**K the media" and left the room
    4:44 PM - 19 Aug 2013
    I wasn't at Puig's press conf b/c it was all in Spanish with a translator but he told the media to perform a sexual act I can't print here
    — Josh Friedman (@Friedo790) August 19, 2013

    The reason for Puig's outburst isn't known. Could it be due to Jon Morosi's column from Sunday night, in which he complains about how Puig's "fundamental lapses" will eventually hurt the team, and suggests Puig be benched for a game so he's "more aware of game circumstances"? We'd like to think so.

    Even if that column isn't why Puig flipped, it's still worth mentioning, on account of its ridiculous logic. Morosi specifically harps on a report that claims the team is unhappy when Puig ignores cutoff men on throws. (Of course, when a player has maybe the best arm since Bo Jackson—as documented here and here—maybe he doesn't need to worry about the cutoff man.)

        The media is so weird about Latin players.

              Good start.

                I find it odd that Friedman wouldn't be at the press conference "because it was all in Spanish with a translator." Why would Spanish be a reason to not go to the press conference if someone was translating it all into English?

                    Ichiro has more hits in his 13 year career here than any player has had in any 13 year stretch in history.

                      Is there any tangible difference between how Bryce Harper plays vs. how Yasiel Puig plays? When I watch them play, I see essentially the same player. Goes all out, sometimes makes mistakes, but the good way outweighs the bad.

                      This rash of "the Dodgers need to fix Puig" articles in the national media is really obnoxious.

                        Harper has "better" big league hair then Puig.

                            So Mike Napoli is dating a porn star. Washington's Davey Johnson's comment on the situation:

                            “Well none of my guys could, ’cause we can’t score.”

                              Well, there is one tangible difference.
