    Yasiel Puig couldn't care less.

    SYDNEY -- Don Mattingly has taken a lot of different tacks in managing Yasiel Puig for the past year or so. Last spring, he marveled like everyone else at Puig's physical gifts and the way he could take over a game from older players. There wasn't much to do then but stand aside and watch.

    Then, there was that stretch in June and July when Mattingly delighted at the youthful energy Puig brought to a club that was languishing with veterans. For a while, Puig was the favorite son.

    Then he got a little rowdy and there were the summer slaps on the wrist. Mattingly benched him a couple of times, semi-publicly. Once, he was late showing up to the clubhouse. Another time, he was so mad over an at-bat, he sauntered out to right field, not exactly delighting the pitcher.

    Even when he disciplined Puig, Mattingly did so in a fatherly way, hoping it would make him a better player.

    Now, you wonder whether Mattingly's patience -- and he has plenty -- is starting to enter a drought period. Back in October, Mattingly said he had a different vision of handling Puig than the rest of Dodgers management.

    He can't be controlled.

    Million dollar talent with a five cent brain.

    Carlos Gomez is the same way.

    Bottom line-
    The Dodgers probably have a 70% win rate since he started playing.
    All is fine in Dodger-ville trust me.

    I remember on here last year where a bunch of guys were defending him saying his constant overthrows didn't matter because they never cost any runs.

    Please.

    I guarantee a bunch of the Dodger veterans are plenty tired of Puig's bullshit.

    Why is everyone so afraid of a little personality in MLB? Who gives a shit as long as he performs and entertains. He's doing both.

    I'm just not that impressed with the guy. Sure he deserves his spot in the MLB but It's tiring how many act as if the kid walks on water.

    No one judges the kids in the NFL and NBA and all the stupid shit they do. For some reason we treat baseball as if its a religion. That is what is tiring to me.

    Tell you what..........Drysdale or Gibson et al would have planted more than one right under his chin and shaved some of that man-child whisker right off of him. But, it's a different game now.

    Managers are a dime a dozen. A talent like Puig comes around once in a lifetime. Buck Showalter will be coaching the Dodgers by June.
