DODGERS The Neverending PUIG Thread

not a fair comparison
since puig's return; reddick 5-9, 2b, hr, rbi

 

don't care about those 25 games if he's hot now
the team kept winning and took/increased the lead
if you're going to include those 25 games
you might as well include his .296/.368/.449 slash line with oakland before the trade

this
hopefully they'll both stay hot and it will pose a favorable dilemma

 

if he hits like last year
another good dilemma to have
at least against righties

 

if you have reason to believe otherwise i'd love to hear it
and evidently management believes in him as well

 

i dont think you are understanding Caps point.
the point is how incredibly biased people are when comparing puig and reddick
reddick gets free passes for all his sucktitude and everyone points to his one hot week since puig is back and to his hot bat while on another team while pointing to his good production for a couple of seasons a few years ago
while puig gets no points for his hot bat for 2 months prior to his demotion, his month in AAA, his great play for a couple seasons a few years ago while getting no passes for anything he does that isnt perfect
mind the fact btw that puig plays against lefties which is a much more glaring need on this team AND that puig is not at his best against lefties yet still goes out there
if puig only had to bat against his preferred type of pitcher like reddick does then puigs stats would be even better
but puig stats are compared to reddicks stats where he is selectively rarely made to bat against lefties
reddick also gets the lineup love by getting in there between guys like seager, turner and agon.
lots of protection that allows him to see good pitches while puig has usually been placed in the bottom half of the order and many nimes near the bottom with much much weaker hitters to help him
yet puig still has been better at driving in and scoring runs even when you consider reddicks production in oak.

point is that reddick has gotten every advantage you can think in terms of lineup spot and protection from having to hit against his weakness while puig has been put in every disadvantageous position you can think of and still outproduces reddick

 

Reddick has been great since the return of Puig.
MLB.com has his stats at a super nice
.381 .409 .571 for the last 7 games.
I know Puig hasnt been back for 7 games but thats the shortest time period of stats on the site.
Thing is that Puig has been even better in that span. Of course that includes some games prior to his demotion too when he (sucked).
.412 .474 .765
Remember that Puig hits to all types of pitchers while Reddick gets to 'feast' on his preferred diet of righty pitchers.

Andrew Toles is killing it and should be playing way more.
.500 .571 1.083, that last number is SLG not OPS, yikes.

Kendrick is playing well too but it doesnt compare to the other guys
.286 .429 .286
Those are great numbers for a leadoff hitter though.
But before that he was in a pretty good slump for a few weeks.
