Another point, the gif Joe posted shows quite the bounce or deflection of the ball.

That's from the catcher's mitt, not Puig's face.

Make no mistake, Puig took a shot to the face/tip of the nose/cheek area and that's scary as hell. I was watching when it happened and I feared the worst. But the replays show the bounce is from the mitt.

My point? It could have been way, way worse and I think Puig is great for the game and I want to see him do well for a long, long time. However, don't let the gif be the only source of info for this impact. It wasn't as bad as it implies.

MLB says they're still reviewing the incident, so no suspensions today. I'm sure several are coming.

Puig is not in the lineup for today's game due to a strained shoulder. No word on how that happened.
I also heard Puig's call-up was a point of concern to the Dodgers. Apparently, he's a wild card, a "maniac" to quote a sports writer that covers the Dodgers.

If that's the case, I truly hope he levels out and stays.

I'm a fan of the game first, Az Diamondbacks second.
