In still another perspective move I don't understand, the Giants, it seems, are considering signing Puig...and I say, why?
For a team rebuilding, for a team trying to create a good clubhouse atmosphere, signing this putz makes no sense, I don't care how much talent he has.
Heck, I didn't see any reason to sign Fast Billy to the team, and I sure has heck don't see any reason to this cancer being with the club.
And now I read that Baer wants and LIKES pizzazz as he calls it.
Bat flips and that crap.
If a sport needs that crap to be popular, I say there are deeper, more critical social problems than one cares to admit.
Suddenly, show off, "lookatmelookatmelookatme!" is now bigger than the game.
Play the game.
It's good enough as it is it doesn't need slam dunk crap.

I dont think they're in a position to add him on the roster, especially since this season may not even happen.

I can't believe they'll can the season, boagie.
It might start at the end of May, but I believe it will go.
It has to.
Too many people's income depend upon the MLB product.
This ridiculous panic over a virus that is barely much worse than the normal flu has now grown, thanks to the liberal, lets-create-a-controversy-where-there-doesn't-need-to-be-one media, to outrageous proportions.
The average age of people dying in the USA is 80, for crying out loud!
I'm betting, and I NEVER...well, almost never, bet, that the moment an inoculation for this thing comes out, things will start resorting to more normalcy in less than 2 weeks.
The run on TP...for a respiratory illness has been laughable in a sad way.

They might start in June or July...but by then it's going to be a drastically reduced season.
Yes the virus has been slightly blown out of proportion, but it's not slightly worse than the flu, it's significantly worse, and far more contagious.

No question it's more contagious, boagie. On that I agree.

Like everyone here I run hot and cold on Puig. I certainly have seen a lot of him with my wife's Dodger loving background.
I hate his showboating and dumb things like licking his bat, and being thrown out while trying to stretch a leadoff double inti a triple. Lots of those.
But I also saw HRs, big hits, a very good fielding outfielder, a great -great throwing arm, lighting up a dugout.... and think just maybe the guy can be more worthwhile than not.
I guess I am not a purist by thinking that, and even my wife admits to being glad he left the Dodgers.
But yet...….

I have no data upon which to base this, Gary, but it's MY opinion that, based upon what I've seen and heard, nothing more, he's a problem in the clubhouse and on the field.
By that I mean, it's not that his teammates don't like him, more that they don't like, nor appreciate his antics on the field and off the field.
I think he's a cancer and I hope he never steps into the home club house at our park

I think he's a cancer and I hope he never steps into the home club house at our park I got the consensus opinion over the years that people like him as a person- he always was joshing and in interacting with them in the dugouts . But they eventually have to tune him out with his inability to have a personal "off " button. |

Pretty much what I've heard, too, Gary.
