A tense moment in the dugout between Punto and Mattingly
in the dugout during yesterday's game. An unidentified
Dodgers coach says "Awwwkward" in falsetto in background. |
Future Hall-of-Famer Nick Punto was fined and benched yesterday for showing up to the Miami ballpark at 5:35 AM, which lead to his momentary arrest by the Miami PD for trespassing. Punto was released on bail, and was fined the respective amount by Manager Don Mattingly, who subsequently benched Punto for, "Trying too goddam hard". Inexorably, however, Punto saved the game for the Dodgers in the 9th with a clutch putout at second, where he had been stationed as a late game defensive replacement. Offered Yasiel Puig, "He's a transcendent talent, what can I say? This team was down and out, spinning its wheels in fourth place, and since then Punto has put the team on his back."
