The Yasiel Puig show continued on Saturday night as he played a big part in the Dodgers 5-2 victory over the Cubs in Game 1. The right-fielder drove in two important runs on a double and a homer, providing a needed spark to the Dodger offense.
Not everybody was impressed.
Keith Olbermann, known for being mad at everything and being fired from every show he has ever been on, took to Twitter to complain about Puig’s bat flip on his fifth inning double.
So effing tired of Yasiel Puig’s act - particularly his apparently terrible vision #DontBatFlipSinglesAndDoubles

How anybody could be mad at a bat flip is beyond me. They are fun and there should be more of them.
As it turns out, Puig saw Olbermann’s tweet and decided to have fun with it.
Hey @KeithOlbermann I flip on singles and doubles & not on homers. Come watch the show. Need a ticket? I got you #PuigYourFriendToo https://t.co/7Ror8AyGRg

Puig was already having a good postseason. Now he is having a great postseason.
Puig forever.
UPDATE:
Olbermann has accepted the invitation.
Well if you’re gonna be THAT way about it I guess I’ll have to say yes, and apologize to you ⚾️ #OlbermannYouFriend https://t.co/rznaV0LdTn
