Yasiel Puig has enraged NLCS umpiring crew, per report

The behavior of Puig, which includes his treatment of umpire Ted Barrett during an at-bat that ended in a strikeout in Game 5, resulted in a heated exchange between MLB executive Joe Torre, who oversees the crew, and Dodgers president Stan Kasten, per Gurnick.

MLB sent a memo to the Dodgers’ clubhouse indicating that any showing up of umpires, especially by Puig, would not be tolerated, added Gurnick.

Puig didn’t appear have any dust-ups with the crew through five innings of Game 6, and the 22-year-old rookie swiftly jogged back to the dugout after striking out in the second.
