16 games into the year and the Cubs are already have a +60 RD

They good.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Remember a couple seasons back when the A's had some ridiculous RD for a while, and then they traded Cespedes and it all went to shit?

[bonesmccoy]

That really is disappointing. When I said I wasn't sure if he'd make it to June, this wasn't what I was expecting!

Just saw this.


#PEDsShouldBeLegal

They are, just not all of them.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

God DAMN. He's out for nearly a season.

I wonder who will be called up or is Travis healthy?

 

[MultiJhonny]

#TheWarOnDrugsHasFailed



All PEDs should seriously be legal imo.

I find this whole thing silly.

 

[zroid]

God DAMN. He's out for nearly a season.

Travis not healthy yet. If they wanted to call up an equivalent player they might bring up Jesus Montero. But I think it might be Andy Burns, since he's more of a utility guy.

Whenever I create a Pawapuro My Life player, it's always a pitcher.

in the high school sim you don't get to choose, you just get an incoming class and customize name/appearance. it's strangely addictive even though you don't even play the games, you just make some coaching decisions at key moments and hope for the best. in 15 sim years for 2014 I only got one kid joining my team with an S rank (A contact + S power) and he was godlike. got drafted in the first round and then i used him for a My Life save (anyone who gets drafted can be used in the other modes). but there was this other kid his year who had started rough but developed into a serious power hitter by 3rd year, but sadly he didn't get drafted and really did become a bread store employee.

You could always trade us Stroman and we will give you the 2016 NL MVP

 

[Parch]

Smoak gets important all of a sudden.
After the Thole flub, perhaps Montero gets a shot?

 

[imBask]

more like COKEabello amirite

 

[Spizz]

Oh man Colabello... Whyyyyyy

Also I'm going to the game on Sunday where Stroman was going to pitch, now they say Hutchison got called up and is pitching. Yay.

 

[Tragicomedy]

holy shit

Chris Colabello suspended 80 games for PEDs

Where there's Smoak...

 

[GK86]

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman

jose reyes appears to be in final stages. decision could come by next week (tho possible goes into following week)

 

[zroid]

I don't think Montero is a catcher, man. I believe he hasn't even played the position in several years. Strictly 1B/DH... like Colabello.

 

[BFIB]

holy shit

Chris Colabello suspended 80 games for PEDs

We have a Matt Adams available.

 

[Beckx]

@BNightengale
The PED Colabello used is an oral steroid more known commonly as Turinabol, which was predominant during East Germany’s doping program.

you know it's serious when it's a staple of the Iron Curtain athletic programs.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I wonder how long it takes for someone (Steve Simmons?) to blame Shapiro for this.

Oh man Colabello... Whyyyyyy

Also I'm going to the game on Sunday where Stroman was going to pitch, now they say Hutchison got called up and is pitching. Yay.

At least you're guaranteed to see some scoring!

lol damn

 

[wbsmcs]

Why is Saunders sitting tonight? Gibby trying to shake things up by taking out his hottest batter? ugh..

 

[PROh1bited]

His hamstring is acting up.

 

[Malo]

Heh, just saw Jimmy Hart by Yankee Stadium.

 

[Silver Arrows]

awww spit.

Seriously, this came out of nowhere. NOWHERE.

Still, who in this thread said they hoped they assigned Colabello! Well, you got your wish in a different way!

 

[CosmicQueso]

Cheatin' Jayz.

God DAMN. He's out for nearly a season.

I wonder who will be called up or is Travis healthy?

Baseball plays for 162. Hockey is the sport you're thinking of. Totally different! 0_o

 

[Line_HTX]

Blue Jays cheating with testosterone, tsk tsk.

80 games is too harsh though.

 

[Macattk15]

Felix missing a start tonight due to "illness" ... pfft. Just say you couldn't get loose and your elbow is blowed up!

 

[GK86]

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal

One thing to understand about Colabello: His appeal already has been heard. Arbitrator ruled that suspension is warranted.

 

[CygnusXS]

Blue Jays cheating with testosterone, tsk tsk.

80 games is too harsh though.

80 games for a first time suspension is what the Players Union agreed to.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

you mean to tell me the guy who randomly had a breakout season at 31 years old is on steroids?

 

[Line_HTX]

80 games for a first time suspension is what the Players Union agreed to.

Well shit...

 

[brianjones]

how did i miss this yesterday

 

[The Elite]

Oh man Colabello... Whyyyyyy

Also I'm going to the game on Sunday where Stroman was going to pitch, now they say Hutchison got called up and is pitching. Yay.

Wtf? I am going to that game too. Why?

 

[Spizz]

Wtf? I am going to that game too. Why?

Supposedly because they have a long stretch of games without an off day.

 

[Frozenprince]

The ace of our staff is Steven Wright

fml

Mets-GAF, we'll give you literally any players across the system you want (except for X and Moncada) for Thor. Deal?

Hell we'll take DeGrom

Edit: fuck it, we'll take Matz. Let's get this deal done

Matz is a lefty that throws 97 with a plus curve.

If Wheeler comes back healthy and like he was in 14', I fully expect to get a shitload of spects for one or both of them.

 

[Chris R]

Sitting here at in n out, only to see Felix isn't starting tonight. Oh well, as long as the Mariners look good tonight I'll call today a success

 

[GK86]

Adam Rubin ‏@AdamRubinESPN

Jacob deGrom throws bullpen session in Florida, set to rejoin Mets http://es.pn/1pqGpJI #NYM #Mets


He is pitching Sunday.

This statement and the cynic in me make me very very wary of Jake Arrieta's recent success at the ripe age of 30

 

[MultiJhonny]

Honestly Jake made some changes that are pretty noticeable.

Also steroids aren't gonna help command

 

[Frozenprince]

This statement and the cynic in me make me very very wary of Jake Arrieta's recent success at the ripe age of 30

Arrieta's success comes from developing his sliding cutter (same pitch Kluber uses) from Bosio and fixing his awful mechanics where he showed the ball too much.

He's got the same velo he had with the O's. He's just got a much better pitch now.

SI: How Jake Arrieta came back from the baseball dead

 

[MultiJhonny]

Go read this article.

“Beast,” says his wife, Brittany. “That’s our nickname for him..."

Well I bet Jake makes her happy

 

[Line_HTX]

What kind of beast are we talking?

Reminds me of the way people talked about Clemens' career revival in Toronto...

[Fuzzy]

holy shit

Chris Colabello suspended 80 games for PEDs

Not just 80 games, all of the playoffs if the Jays make it that far.

 

[Beckx]

no steroids in the world do that

 

[Parch]

Blue Jays did a pretty good job hiding the Colabello news until the appeal was settled. They've known for over a month. So be it. Gotta deal with it.

Bring on Oakland. Baltimore was getting on my nerves. They have a hot start and start thinking they're all relevant in the AL East. We'll deal with them later in the year when they know their role.

 

[Malo]

But I was told steroids are magic pills that give you talent.
