don't worry everyone who is wondering where puig was. chris welsh assures you there was no reason for puig to back up the play. and then chris welsh will tell you that 3 more times.

He just said that even if he was it would have been the same outcome in his opinion. Considering he is there and can see how far Puig would have needed to go I'll take his word for it. Theres is absolutely no way puig could have known that a ball hit pretty much to straight away CF would bounce back towards him. It happens.

Glad that wasn’t Schebler that missed that potential out/triple turned HR

Just don’t get what Chris was thinking there. Those are the exact plays when the RF SHOULD back up. Tough running plays at the wall, that’s when you need Puig. Not the easy ones.

it was soooo out of character for welsh. makes me wonder if he received some heat for making some very minor criticisms of puig earlier this season. just so weird. as you said, that is the precise type of play where an outfielder needs to be backing up his fellow outfielder. but welsh said like 4x that it was not on puig. lol.

Billy would’ve had it

if he was 23 and was hitting like senzel, we would have excused it. ;0

I actually recall Billy having one or two of those clank off his glove last season.

I would give Senzel a pass on that play because of his inexperience in CF.

Senzel deserves the year to learn the position in game conditions..

There are too many red uniforms in MLB.

Nice whack there, Votto.

What Angels uniforms are supposed to look like:

yeah, he's wrong. triple at the least if puig backs up the play. and then welsh went on and on about how puig couldn't have prevented the inside-the-park home run. just high comedy.

Has there ever been a Felix Millan bobblehead night? Asking for a friend.

Trout couldn’t handle the LD by Peraza. C’mon Reds, buy low.

One typically doesn't "back up" plays hit to dead center. Maybe a bit more urgency in moving that direction, but I'm betting he thought it was out of the park or being caught.

Drat!
