It hasn’t been easy for Madison Bumgarner and Yasiel Puig to continue hating each other as fiercely as they once did now that Puig has moved away to the Midwest.

Yasiel Puig Goof Becomes Yasiel Puig Highlight Via One Bazooka Outfield Assist
When Freddie Freeman saw his third-inning liner to right-center squirt away from the glove of Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig and toward the warning track Thursday night, he made the perfectly sensible decision to chug his way to second base. That’s a sound, heady base-running decision, which is why it ...

Yasiel Puig Dingered Off Clayton Kershaw In His First At-Bat Against The Dodgers
Yasiel Puig wasn’t exactly overflowing with love for his old club when he returned to Los Angeles on Monday as a Cincinnati Red.

Downs and Gray are the sev...

Yasiel Puig Is Battering The Bejeezus Out Of The Vile Cardinals
Yasiel Puig smashed three huge dingers Saturday afternoon. The mightiest of these was a 423-foot solo blast in the fourth inning, but the most impressive might’ve been the three-run shot to left in the fifth that left the yard on a line at an impressive 114 miles per hour. Here are the dingers:...

Caroline Wozniacki Says Unruly Fans Threatened Her And Her Family During Miami Open
Monica Puig came roaring back after a dispiriting first set to beat Caroline Wozniacki, 0-6 6-4 6-4, in a Friday Round of 64 match at the Miami Open.

Yasiel Puig's Agency Cuts Him Over Reported "Behavior" Issue
Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig is apparently without an agent after the Wasserman group announced today that they’d cut ties with him for what’s been reported as something “behavior-related.” Whatever it was, though, it doesn’t sound like it’s something that could affect his status or relationship ...

Pity The Poor Man Who Tries To Run On Yasiel Puig
Yasiel Puig has a cannon for an arm. You know this. Everyone who has watched him knows this. Kole Calhoun, presumably, knows this—yet he found himself trying to go from first to third in the eighth inning tonight on a single hit to Puig, which meant that he found himself thrown out....
