Yasiel Puig celebrates everything with bat flips on this week's "off the bat from the MLB Fan Cave" -- Tuesday at 11pm et/pt on MTV2

Yasiel Puig flips a bat for every occasion, Carlos Gonzalez races cars, Dee Gordon answers questions from left field, David Ortiz has a message for Tom Brady, and Mariano Rivera returns to the mound -- all on this week's "Off the Bat from the MLB Fan Cave," airing Tuesday at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on MTV2.
 
With the Dodgers in New York this week, Dee Gordon - the MLB leader in stolen bases by a wide margin - is the in-studio guest at the MLB Fan Cave, while Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig takes to the streets with host Fat Joe to help passersby mark milestones in their lives with a ceremonial bat flip.
