Nick Punto Is So Proud Of Himself…

Some guys just get under your skin. Watching the Tigers struggle against the Minnesota Twins one guy in particular bothers me. Nick Punto runs around the field like he's a boss, boss, boss. Did you see him draw a walk against Max Sherzer on Monday night? On ball four, he strutted out of the batters box like he drew the first walk ever drawn off of Greg Maddux or something. Every time I watch the Twins, Putno does something like that.
Whatever dude. You're a .250 career hitter, cemented in the bottom of the order in an otherwise productive line-up.
I know every team has their role players who aren't asked to do as much as the superstars but their asked to play smart, show a solid glove and occasionally come through with a couple of clutch hits (like Brandon Inge or Ramon Santiago). But most of those guys don't take a swagger to the field like they're the lead singer in front of a packed stadium and every women in the place should want him. YOU'RE NICK PUNTO!
