The Giants ran on Yasiel Puig’s arm and were punished for it

You have scouts, right San Francisco? And televisions and eyeballs?

Stephen Dunn

In case you have forgotten, Yasiel Puig is here to remind you that he has a cannon for an arm.

This throw came in the top of the 11th inning at a time when the game was still all tied up at 2-2. As Vin Scully remarked at the time, the Giants’ runners were not going before the 3-2 pitch was delivered by Brandon League, and then Brandon Belt ended up out by a step because of it.

To be fair to the Giants, there are few outfielders who could make a capable runner on second pay for going on a single up the middle, but Yasiel Puig is one of them, and he was there to make the throw. Please be aware of the presence of Yasiel Puig in the future, third base coaches. Or don’t, whatever.
