The worst part is its been proven 50,000 Times it's slower to go head first and every major leaguer knows this and they still do it. Must just be competitive juices flowing and they just do it before even thinking. Puig is so dumb he probably just can't remember, living in lA this guy's stupidity hits New levels weekly

Don't know why you bring in puig, rookie known as a hustler, Hamilton  Never known as a hustling guy as well as a veteran with 7 years in mlb. Puig gets $2mln this year, Hamilton $15mln. Do they both make stupid decisions? Yes. But I like Puig's chances to learn from his mistakes more than ol' blue eyes, monster-drinking josh..the real stupid guy? The angel owner that'll pay josh 23 mln next year and 30 mln the next two after that..

Slide head first to protect the cocaine vials in the back pocket. Tim Raines did it for years, running around out there high as a kite.

If diving was faster, sprinters would dive across the finish line and I have never seen that

Only time to do it is to avoid the tag...dont why you see it happen so often

Was half joking but who knows. It is why Timmy did it for all those years and he admitted it. Here is a paragraph from his wikipedia.

Raines's performance dipped in 1982,[7] as he hit .277 with a .353 on-base percentage.[8] At the end of the season, Raines entered treatment for substance abuse, having spent an estimated $40,000 that year on cocaine.[7] To avoid leaving the drug in his locker, Raines carried it in his hip pocket, and slid headfirst when running the bases.[9] He used cocaine before games, in his car, after games, and on some occasions, between innings in the clubhouse.[10] Raines would later testify at the infamous Pittsburgh drug trials, in September, 1985.

The saddest part is Timmy did it for this reason but he made it fashionable for younger players to start doing it, so we've seen more of it since him due to his success as a base runner/stealer. It's an incredibly dumb way to slide.

These guys are just dumb and hustling, all of us guys have done that when we were younger..hopefully they'll  learn sooner rather than later.  But LA bashing as an excuse for their stupid actions? Really? Let me see, Puig's primary residence is in Miami and Hamilton's in Texas and Orange County...

I bring in Puig................GENIUS.

Because they both slid head first into first base.

They both hurt their THUMB.

THEY BOTH ARE MISSING TIME.

SEEMS RELEVANT TO ME!

i dont think players should be criticized for sliding head first into a base.  rickey "the greatest" henderson and pete rose did it their entire careers.

yes, i should blame the owners more than the player.  angels are on the hook for pujols and hamilton at $40M/yr.  it is amazing that these owners acquired their wealth in the first place?  every year they make ridiculous signings, like it is fantasy baseball.

All you have to do is wear a special glove! I used to wear one when I skated. Before the glove I fell backwards on one hand. I was lucky to not snap my wrist in two!!!

Hamilton sees mlb as just making $$$. He doesn't care about anything else. He has made it big time and doesn't need to worry about anything. If his contract read something like "if you get injured on a play where the injury could of been prevented with special equipment, e.g. glove, then you will lose $50,000 for each game missed"
THIS, AGAIN,  SHOWS HOW THE ANGELS MADE A HUGE MISTAKE IN TRADING GOOD PLAYERS FOR OVER THE HILL ADDICTS...

YOU BET YOUR FUKKING behind HE WOULD WEAR A GLOVE!!!

"Personally, I think he's just trying to get outta the lineup."

I'm sure when Hamilton signed the contract, the owner shook his hand, and said, "Take it easy out there...don't play too hard!"...

How do you knock a guy for trying to earn his money?

I was referring to the fact that I pretty much live in LA and see this guy's stupidity on a daily basis. I wasn't saying anything about where HE lived being the reason. All that said I enjoy watching him but the dude is not smart
