Puig tries Dodgers' patience

The Los Angeles Dodgers held a team meeting to address young star Yasiel Puig's baserunning blunders.

Manager Don Mattingly called the meeting earlier this week after the 23-year-old Cuban defector made two mistakes on the basepaths during the Dodgers' season-opening, two-game trip to Australia last weekend - mistakes that made headlines in the media.

'"I thought it was a really good meeting, actually," Mattingly said on Thursday. "But again, it is one of those things that if guys want to talk about it, they can. I don't think it is something we need to talk about. We are just looking to get better all the time."
