Dodgers, Yesterday and Today 
11. Have a manager like Dave Roberts
And a hitting coach like Turner Ward
And team leaders who will take the time to care and help and try to understand
like Adrian Gonzalez & Justin Turner.
I don’t know what Justin Turner was saying to Puig witth his arm around Puig’s shoulder and talking in Puig’s ear after Puig’s awkward slide at home plate,
but that little convo was a drama ender and difference maker.

I love this. I have quietly (or perhaps not so quietly, at times) been a huge fan of Yasiel’s ever since his initial callup. I got to see him live, with my youngest son (a Mets fan) when he hit his home run in Yankee Stadium. I have been rejoicing in his successes ever since his return to the Dodgers last fall. I can’t wait to see what the Wild Horse does in the World Series!
