Puig drops easy catch, kicks wall in disgust

MLB.com

Nobody can accuse Yasiel Puig of not playing with enough fire in his belly.

The Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder put his emotions on full display during Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins. Puig ranged far to his right to catch Justin Bour's foul ball for what should've been an easy out. Instead, he dropped the ball, and violently kicked the side wall in disgust.

Fortunately for Puig, the wall was covered by padding, and his reaction didn't come back to haunt him with an injury. The Dodgers were also happy that Bour, who worked a walk after Puig's miscue, was left stranded at first base to end the fourth inning.
