The Giants and Dodgers went 12 innings on Tuesday, meaning this Yasiel Puig fly out in the top of the frame with two runners on could have had major implications:
When homer-pimping goes wrong, Yasiel Puig edition
Yasiel Puig got a little carried away with unnecessary homer pimpage.


No one was more disappointed about the result than Puig himself:
Listen, I'm a huge proponent of homer pimping. You don't love David Ortiz like I do unless you've embraced this facet of the long ball. There's little more embarrassing than pimping what turns out to be an out, however. I wouldn't call it "bush" as the Giants' announcers did while showing this replay, but it definitely makes Puig look like a doofus.
Let’s set the over/under on cranky writers who take this extra personally because Puig is wearing Jackie Robinson’s 42 when he did this at three.
