Yasiel Puig proved early on in his Cincinnati Reds‘ career that he’s willing to go to battle for his teammates. Puig practically took on the entire Pittsburgh Pirates’ team by himself.

This week will be an evaluation period for the Cincinnati Reds. Many of us who follow the Reds on a daily basis believe the team is much better than their 18-23 record indicates. Just how good the Reds may be will come into focus after a 6-game home stand with a pair of first place teams in the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers.
