Yasiel Puig hasn’t been the player we thought he’d be this season. He’s been really bad, actually.
He is still capable of running into a pitch from time to time, and he’s still capable of hitting it a long way. That happened tonight in the bottom of the 4th inning, as Yasiel chucked his 12th dong of the season with Eugenio Suarez on base. After a three hit night last night (with a double), maybe, just maybe, Puig is about to go on one of his patented two or three week tears.
