Yasiel Puig is the Most Misunderstood Player in Baseball | La Vida De Puig
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 4. 09. 2024
- As a new player in the league, Puig brought energy, excitement, and fun to a game that desperately needed it, but his personality was scorned and he was labeled as a "problem player". After a positive COVID test derailed his signing with the Braves and prospect of playing during the 2020 season, Puig took the year to work hard and get back on the diamond, better than ever. This off-season we follow the all-star and show the real Yasiel Puig, not the image teams and media show. This is La Vida De Puig.

This man was years ahead of his time
I remember in 2012 when Trout, Harper, and Puig each burst onto the scene. Havenât stopped rooting for #66 ever since
2013**
got the 66th like on your comment, noice
@@joemyguy I got 69th.. can I get a nice?
@@FantasyTeamAdvisors czcams.com/video/yYe9O73Yn-k/video.html
You mean 2013 đđ
As a Dodgers fan, I miss the hell out of this guy. He was one of my favorites! I just canât wait to see him play again.
same bro
Why? He was more of a detrimental to your team. Are you not happy with Mookie?
Imagine Puig getting called up after the âLet the kids playâ era and had that crazy impact like his rookie year. Man Puig would be the face of baseball with Tatis, Soto and Acuna for yearsss
Thatâs hella facts
I'm actually a firm believer that Puig being Puig when he did helped create this "Let the kids play" era. If Puig wasn't there when he was, did all the things he did in the way he did them and refused to change, I don't think we'd have the same type of mindset from players like Tatis, Soto and Acuna, managers would have stopped that kind of playstyle at the door. Just like they attempted to do with Puig who refused to listen.
@@lewdvlesh 1000000% agree I was like 8 when puig came up and I remember being so confused why he was so hated by everyone
@@charliemeyer3698 same but I was 7 at the time he was and still is one of my favorites
Puig will always be loved in LA, he would go to local parks and I ended up meeting him. Heâs a big kid
That big kid attitude, not listening to coaches and his off the field antics is why he is not on a team.
I said to give puig a vlog camera. And yâall gave the man a camera. Thatâs called customer service
Well itâs better than nothin wonât you agree
I was at a rays game while he was with Cleveland. I was seated directly behind right field. He turned around and I seized my chance and held up my hand. He smiled and waved back.
I appreciate that.
when he was with my team(dodgers) my and my family yelled puig he was bitting his nails and then he waved he's very nice and misunderstood
The Wild Horse brings so much passion and talent to the game. Who in their right mind would not want him on their team?
Those who might see him as a distraction. There might be some teams that watch Trevor as something like that too. No offence but Iâm pretty sure some old folks see it that way. He would have been a great fit in Atlanta though, I think.
@@hurehurley - people had issues with Ted Williams as well. The great ones know who they are and march to their own music. If I owned the Braves or Padres, I would find a way to sign both of them!
Puig's stats took a dip in the last few seasons, he's not the quite stud everyone thought he was going to be. He's a great player, but he's got to be more consistent if he wants to keep going.
@@BongRippingRiffLover51 - he never found a home with a team. If and when that happens, he will peak and show MLB that he is a premier player. With his physique, passion, and 5-tool talents, he is the one player that can give Mike Trout a run for the Triple Crown! And, now that he has Luba Sports marketing him...Look out!
@@johnpeterka8355 Ted Williams was the best hitter ever. H could have a bit of an attitude when he is hitting .400. What is Puig's excuse?
Loved this guy when he was a Dodger! He was always exciting to watch whether he was at the plate, running the bases or about to make a throw. Its a shame he was never able to take his game to the next level. I hope 2021 is a career year for him wherever he ends up playing
This is why I love Momentum! Excited about Puig's future, all the best to the wild horse!
Dude its crazy. Watching something that a Kid I worked out with in Strength and Conditioning made. The kid that with his fellow senior Michael, would make sophomore me feel like i was not so insignificant. The kid who inspired me to pick up a glove again, with that radiating smile he had. While my glove was stolen out of my bag, and I never ended up playing again, it is still great to see that kid, one of the greatest people I ever met, have one of the most polarizing channels on youtube, and work with some of the best baseball players around. Congrats on Everything you have accomplished Taiki!
I met yasiel he does so much for in the community with his foundation and other endeavors and deserves so much more respect
Puig is an Sagitarius(Day before Jim Morisson) - but I always appreciated him as a human being also. His spirit , his bravery , and his presentness of mind and application to life.He's not on autopilot and he appreciates and remembers every gesture made towards him and others .He 's looking for the worth in things and 0 to 60s -a phenominal gift to a setting as a hero's persistant loyalty to building life. He's not stinky and selfish- he's independant and a giver - almost nobody does that as cleanly. Love you Yasiel -forever. Your like watching a magnificent stallion with a mind whose second language is English.
Puig is so full of life and charisma. Baseball desperately needs players like him. If you want boring athletes go watch golf.
Hopefully Chalupa can find him a home that appreciates him.
Puig is such a treasure #PuigYourFriend
You guys killed it. Miss him in dodger blue, and he couldâve been the difference in the playoffs for the braves against the Dodgers. Just hope he comes in healthy and ready to whoop some baseball ass
Te amamos Puig desde MĂ©xico. A donde sea que te vayas te voy a estar apoyando. Te quiero ver campeĂłn đ€Žđ€Žđ€Žđ€Ž Te dedico el Rey de vicente FernĂĄndez.
Puigggggg to Atlanta!!! Re-unlock that home run power!!!
YASIEL SOY UNO DE MUCHOS FANS QUE TIENES YA QUIERO VOLVERTE A VER JUGAR EN LAS MAYORES VICTOR DODGERS VIVA PUIG Y đšđș đČđœ
I love Puig he brings so much energy and passion to the game
@momentum should partner up with Domingo Ayala
Still love Puig, hope he finds a good team for next season. Can't wait to see him back in action!
Really hope to see Puig back on the field next year. Baseball is better with him in it.
Go and replace Puig, for someone able to bring more into the game than he does, and we will stay quiet. Don't just replace him with a manageable puppet, eager for turning a magical evening of baseball, into a frigid afternoon filled with sorrow instead of joy.
Just because someone in the front office, was falling in love with a clueless immobile Narcissus player, incapable of radiance and creativity but just more collected they said.
Let me assure you, mister, those will not be the type of players nor the baseball games some of us will be willing to watch, only because you decided to expel a player like Puig to act tough.
Still one of my fav players to watch! Yasiel ainât done
Ah that voice of vin.
Puig vlogs! LETS GO!!
Crazy how impactful Puig was to today's game. It just saddens me to see that he wasn't able to play. But, Yasiel also analyzed what he was doing that made his progress slow down as a player. All in all, I'm happy to see if Puig comes back in 2021 and absolutely dominates.
I hope this guy gets signed somewhere. I want to see that passion and energy again on the field. Hes an awesome player
I love Puig! I drafted him en fantasy bĂ©isbol aunque estaba en minor leagu. Trabaje en Dodgers stadium 2018 y me tocĂł mirarlo saliendo del estadio. Very humble and loves his fans. Dude is absolutely jacked đȘđŸ
What a crazy story, this man's life is begging to be made into a movie. He escaped the turmoil, but couldn't live without it. A shame he didn't commit to the craft, and was more passionate about partying and women than he was about baseball
Come to the brewers!! We love the fun and wild guys like Nyjer Morgan!! You can hit more dingers like the one in game 7 against us, as much as it pains me to say.
love it keep up the good work my brother..
Loved Puig and wished we never got rid of him (Although we got a Cy young pitcher)
The irony of a channel run by Bauer
Puig is like the nicest guy youâll ever meet. He came to my park in San Fernando,CA( Los Angeles) and heâs using his own money and his own Wild Horse Foundation to give back to my community. Heâs already remodeling the Dan Fernando park, the lights, the parking lot etc. Puig is a true legend đȘđż
That's an interesting narrative, that Puig "couldn't be himself" and that he's "misunderstood" because he has so much energy and passion. What about his immaturity? Here's a list of things that Puig did as a Dodger when he was "just being himself", just off the top of my head: he was banging the daughter of a minor league coach, he habitually showed up late, he tore up defensive positioning cards in the dugout because he didn't listen to his coaches, he frequently showed up to spring training overweight and out of shape, he didn't take stretching (injury prevention) seriously, which led to many leg/core injuries and DL stints, a Dodger veteran said trading him would be addition by subtraction because he was such a clubhouse cancer. He was a prodigious, phenomenal talent that could've made a LOT of money if he listened to the advice of those in charge of helping him get better. But, his immaturity and pride got in the way. If he wants more than 1-2 year contract, he'll need to get rid of that beer belly.
I will admit I was one of the people that did not like Puig and his antics in the beginning, but he has really grown on me. I hope he can have all the success possible going forward.
Became a Dodger fan when Puig burst onto the scene. He was the catalyst that started this dynasty. Hope he can continue his career. Puig your friend!!
Always liked him when he was in CLE. Best of luck to him. Good things should happen to good people.
Puig has always been my friend.
Sorry to see you leave LA. I hope you make it back some day.
cool momentum piece!
Te estamos esperando my brother!
I loved his home run in the 2018 World Series against the Red Sox to give his team the lead and potentially tie the eries. That was poised to be his most important moment Dodger history. Then the bullpen blew it.
I miss him with my dodgers. He was so good and kept the hype up every time he stepped on the plate. Wish him nothing but the best in his future and hopefully he returns home one day.
Puig would have been sick in the braves lineup! He's still got a lot of baseball to play! I will always be fan wherever he goes!
Miss you in LA, Yasiel. :(
I remember when he was still in the minors, his team was playing the mobile baybears. They had a promotion that night saying that if a player on either team hit a homer in like the top or bottom of the 6th then it would mean free beer for the entire 7th. Long story short, Puig won me free beer that night
Immense passion
I clicked so fast and I wasnât disappointed đ„
i love puig so passionate for the game and he has a point if tatis or soto does a bat flip its fine but when he does it its bad i hope he plays for a team next year and wish he would go to Rays
Tatis and Soto's worst seasons are better than Puig's best. He never had the numbers to backup his bullshit.
@@smokesgtp STFU, hes having fun just cuz tatis and soto do good doesn't mean they only have the right to do it
@@jq9614 It's a serious game when you make that kind of money. Puig is talented and can be a nice piece, but he's not a difference maker like those two names you mentioned. Maybe if he were more disciplined he'd be a more productive player.
I do like the Rays, they would be my AL team if I had to choose. I love what they do on such a limited budget.
@@smokesgtp ok but I'm talking about the batflip and his passion about the game that they use to get passed at him its what I don't like
Good stuff right heređ„
Excelente pelotero! Viva Puig!
I miss you wild horse, you got my daughter's into baseball making it fun to watch. We got two balls from you too. Thanks for the memories Puig, wish you nothing but success.
You might as well try to have Arte Moreno try to sign him too, heâs a huge character and I would love to see him play against the Dodgers in a WS. #MakeAnaheimgreatagain
bwahahahahahaha
I would seriously attend Angels games just to see Puig play again
Great show
How can you not root for this guy? LFG PUIIIIIIG!
I am a Reds fan and we only had Puig for four months one year and traded him for Trevor Bauer with Cleveland but my God did he win over Reds fans. He played with passion and he could run the bases, he hit with power, he had a canon for a arm, he played good defense and he stood up for the other players on his team. Don't get me wrong I am thrilled to get Bauer from Cleveland for Puig and two minor league players but I wish the Reds would have resigned Puig when he became a free agent the following winter. He is fan friendly and does great things for the community.
I love Puig. I miss having him as a Dodger player. Lifelong fan here!
Why? Not a Dodgers fan but you have the best Right fielder in the game who plays the game correctly. You would rather have Puig? Are all you Dodgers fans this dense?
@@arturomoreno4356 Are you aware there are players on the team that don't start games?
@@xdeevex428 You really think Puig would want to platoon? Also, wouldn't it be a waste of his so called talents to be a platoon player? They guy hurt his chances and has burned just about every bridge possible. Think its time he plays in Korea.
â@@arturomoreno4356 I simply stated that I enjoyed watching him and wish he was still on the team. You're the one that assumed I meant he should be starting over one of the best players in Baseball.
The point is: For those Dodgers fans that lived through Puig's call-up and meteoric rise, he holds a special place for us. The dude pretty much kickstarted the "Let the Kids Play" movement and always brings passion and excitement to the ballpark. He's just fun to watch.
To answer your question, I don't think he'd be down to platoon but he's still young enough/talented enough to play in the bigs. He'll get a deal somewhere.
@@xdeevex428 Fair enough. I just don't think the Dodgers win with Puig in Right field last year. Mookie is super special.
I am rooting for you Puig!
Puig and Trevor in Angels Red?? Can you do a 2 for one deal? I know you read all of the Chalupa!!! Very smart of you to show a different side of Puig
Wondered if he was signed to you lol get this man on a team! Wish it would have worked out with the Braves
The Wild Horse!!!!! I miss him in Dodger Blue
Kid had some clutch moments, that's for sure!
Wishing you the best ! Don't lose the zest for the game!
Letâs gooo puig off to Korea!!!
As a Giants fan I hope he comes to SF. Bumgarner is not here anymore, Rachel is a Giants fan, and with Yaz only locked in OF, and Disckerson Ruf and Slater who are neither regular or healthy enough, Puig could really be a good fit and proves to everyone he is mature enough to come to his old rival team !! Go Puig !
Really like Atlanta to give him another shot or Possibly join that young Marlins team đ€
Some guys arenât built for 162 games, and puig just happens to be one of em. 2014 was supposed to be his breakout campaign, but failed to live up to expectations even though that dodgers line up was stacked. Over the years, his bulk didnât let him play with the same explosiveness as he has when he first came on. Heâs not misunderstood, just not the same player he once was
As a Reds fan I very much enjoyed his time with the team. I wouldnât mind seeing him in right field again.
I miss puig on the Dodgers still rooting for you bud to have great success
Man get this guy on a team in the mlb, dont let this talent go to waste or go overseas. If Atlanta doesn't give him another chance next year (which they should) detroit or boston should reach out.
Just watched video on Trev cheating with some sort of grip substance. I could give an eff, what Trevor does is good for baseball.
Lol same it must be goin thru the recommended. He trolled the guy tho lol
I know was it baseball doesnt exists vid.
@@joshconnell8797 I missed the trolling. Comment section?
I mean itâs true nonetheless nearly every pitcher does the same thing but I still like Trevor
@@joshconnell8797 wack that Trevor hates on MLB copyright policies but threatens to enforce these same policies on another content creator
Me just waiting for the who can throw better video. Trevor vs Puig
The translation at 2:30 is incorrect. He said the problem was not the Dodgers.. it was the other teams that had a problem with him. And gives an example that San Francisco didnât like how he showed emotion.
Bring him back to ATL
He was never there so he can't be brought back. :)
Yo momentum Trevor and these guys have really done something for baseball. And MLB knows it. This content is "Gold" They are capturing so much stuff. Those round tables are great. Luba is smoking hot I wanna date her! Congratulations you guys. Hard work pays. And yall show that more than anything. God Bless yall
Cord
Favorite Player by far.
Suerte caballo!!!!
Hey, I'd love to watch Puig in 81 home games. Dude is just pure entertainment wrapped up in a 240 pound Cuban Missle bow. But let's be real. If dude has had a problem with "all the teams," it's not that the Dodgers were prudes or that those who were critical of the man are racist. It's because he can't stop messing up. Own it. Say you're working on yourself. Whatever you do, don't let a fledgling social media company put out the message that you're digging in your heels, resistent to change, resistent to owning up to your past inabilities to fit into a team. This vid ain't helping you, Puig. It is doing exactly nothing to dispell your undisciplined reputation. Baseball organizational peeps see that as selfishness, and that perception is a crap way to demonstrate that you're ready for a second chance.
Imagine this Puig,Belli and Mookie
Nah, If I was a Dodgers fan, I would pass. Taylor and AJ can outproduce him and overall can make better plays.
This was really well made.
This is the original blat flip guy! Not no tatis Jr! PUIG IS MY GUY! Should have one a WS with the dodgers!
Mets, Blue Jays, Twins. He would fit perfect on any of these teams lineups. Wouldâve been even better with the White Sox, but theyâre outfield is full now
He would fit in so well with the White Sox
Someone sign this man!
All I want for Christmas is this man in a Red Sox uniform. MAKE IT HAPPEN LUBA.
Finally the wait is over!!! Now all that is left to see that Trevor is going to the angels
Get this man in ATL ASAP
Puigâs problems go beyond just being âpassionateâ. The dude allegedly tore up positioning cards in front of coaches and would not listen to the coaches while at the Dodgers. Thereâs being passionate and then there is uncoachable arrogance and I think Puig has firmly rooted himself on the arrogant side. Parts of Puig are misunderstood and parts are VERY understood and worrisome.
Most of his teammates would whole heatedly disagree with you. He was adored by fans and was an exciting demonstrative player that the old guard of baseball detested. Their prejudicial, judgemental treatment was indicative of the good ole boys being pissed that a non white player was not "playing the game the right way" ie; the white way. Thankfully he paved the way for Tim Anderson, Soto, Perez, Lindor and many other talented, demonstrative players to bring joy, passion and excitement to the game. The sport is better for it and fans love it.
â@@jusliving7977 If you think that having positioning cards is some sort of "white" thing and that minority players can't listen to their coaches then you got some problem. Nothing I said has anything to do with showboating which he wrongfully and at times racially did get criticized for. That's stupid and wrong for people to do. All my criticism was about his interactions with coaches where he is obviously in the wrong. If your response to someone ripping up coaching instructions is to talk about how minorities are fighting against white stereotypes then that's pretty fucking racist. People play sports all over the globe. They all get coaching instructions. Also don't pretend his interactions with teammates were all great. Definitely friction there. Lots of rumors, but the Greinke incident is evidence #1. All of Puig's sexual assault stuff coming out only bolsters my point that interpersonally this is probably not a good guy, even if he did make baseball more fun.
Wow, thanks to Momentum, Iâm not rooting for Puig. Ridiculous he couldnât stay with the Braves, those young guys would be great for him. Heck man sign with KC, they have been taking everyone. Have a smash off verse Soler haha
Hoping he gets another chance in Atlanta.
oh my god i never knew that puig had caught covid and i hope he comes back and comes to atlanta
COME BACK TO LA AND RUN IT BACK WITH THE BOIS
Why would any Dodgers fan want this tool back? You have mookie for petes sake.
much love to you yasiel
I want him in Boston. Imagine his energy with the most electric fan base in sports history
#PuigToNationsCapital
I miss this guy
The double standard for Puig is crazy. Pitchers heâll after a strike out even stare down sometimes & donât say anything, but when Puig hits a homer and bat flips pitchers have a problem, itâs ridiculous
Imagine if Puig did play for the braves for the 2020 season, could he have been the key piece to win and go to the World Series ?
You can not criticize a player, for charging at a pitcher for intentionally throwing at him with the intention of inflicting pain o breaking a bone on his buddy, just to silencing his offensive. That should be Against MLB's own rules against violence.
Demonizing a player, for this reason, needs to be contested
In every incident, and not simply be encouraging by calling it, a disciplinary players problem, as it was done to Yasiel Puig.
All players should have de right to be protected, from these types of ongoing, instigated, attacks, having to do with old baseball practices, and not players' behavioral problems.
A curveball hitting a player may be excusable, but not a 90 mph fastball trowed at his ribs case or head, with the intention of doing damage, those can kill or badly harm a player, we all know, and this problem calls for immediate correction and no silence from baseball unions and leagues.
This man.. has the potential to be the next Bo Jackson. Heâs proved it from time to time. You guys say let the boys play but get mad when itâs a non white person doing the fun. I watched Puig all my life, with the Dodgers the most, with the Reds, with Cleveland he is someone you want on your team
Heâs openly admitted to not being motivated to train during the offseason after he got that contract with the dodgers, I donât mind showboating but only if your passionate on and off the field.
Finally a Dodgers fan that gets it.
