Puig obviously thought it was a home run. The ball turned out to be catchable. I really think Puig fooled the right fielder who got a late start by watching Puig, and couldn't catch up to the ball.
No doubt Puig has made several bonehead plays this year..but his intent is by no means malicious..he has driven his teammates and manager crazy at times..but has also awed them as well, with his skills.
Hopefully his "Baseball I.Q." will improve next year..
