  1. Also, the title to this thread is misleading AF. I thought there was some fallout with a Davis announcement to quickly follow. C'mon @Rene88 I know you want people to check out your thread but there's no reason to think Davis is using. (quite the contrary, actually).
  2. I'd take Cano, shady Dominican doctors and an 80 game suspension all day every day over the Orioles ass backwards approach to stocking a farm system. Speaking strictly for myself here, I long ago stopped looking at athletes as a moral compass and examples of making right decisions and staying in the lines. I assume that most of them are cheaters, knowingly or unknowingly. As a result, I have little to no expectations from them and it doesn't phase me one bit when this stuff happens.
  3. Cano claims it's not a performance enhancing drug, yet it's banned by MLB. I wonder what MLB thinks the advantage is of taking this stuff.
  4. Davis needs to do it. Sheesh. I don't think any fan thinks Bonds, Clemens, Raffy were isolated incidents. Certainly Bonds and Clemens probably gained the most from doing it but I don't think anyone thinks it was isolated.
  5. I was laughing hysterically when I pulled the trigger to purchase that thing. A few more bucks than what I wanted to spend but it was great.
  6. One of my favorite things I ever did was sponsored Nick's BBref page and made it look like Old5fan did it ? Really happy for Nick, this is awesome. Gonna be tuning in to some Braves games for sure.
  7. Whatever, Drungo. Flaherty has the most improbably season ever, slashing .362/.490/.550.
  8. Took pitching lessons from Brandon's dad, Brian back in the mid to late 90s in Northern VA while I was still in high school. Nicest guy ever. Brian had a stint in 85 with the Mariners and a cup of coffee with the 89 Athletics. Haven't seen him in years but working with him at his academy was one of my fondest memories growing up and playing baseball. Always rooting for Brandon cause I know how much it means to his dad.
  9. Nick Delmonico's .370 OBP would look good in our lineup.
  10. There's no reason to push him to Baltimore this year when there's obviously nothing on the line. Damn, it's hard to believe he's 23 already.
  11. That low K rate, I wonder if it's sustainable.
  12. Not really, Mancini's first full year was last year. There was a decent amount of speculation heading into this year if he was a mirage or if he could maintain or maybe even better. That is due to the lack of draft status and hype.
  13. Eh, I think it matters. Hype matters to fans, which comes from the pundits. I mean, fans are excited about Acuna and that comes from reading the hype train.
  14. People have been sleeping on him. I've said it often, draft status and everything plays a huge part in how people perceive guys. Trey was an 8th round pick. If this production he had last year was coming out of a 1st round pick, we'd be collectively crapping our pants. But guys from later rounds don't get taken as seriously because the lofty draft status and the pedigree isn't there. I would agree that outside of Manny, he's our best hitter. On some nights, he's the only one worth watching.
  15. Fun article. Yes, too many relievers, impossible to keep track of them all. Bleier tops the list. If you have a second, watch Makita's video. Dude throws slow, slower and slowerer. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23095176/your-new-favorite-reliever-power-rankings-eight-guys-love-never-heard-of
  16. This is good news about Cortes. Bad news is that Mike Wright is still around.
  17. Palmer can do what he wants, as far as I'm concerned. Manny's hair looks stupid. But when you're from Miami, I don't expect much.
  18. Well, this is positive. Hopefully he continues to shine and has a good season. If he could somehow OPS .800+ that'd be a surprising season.
  19. Lighten up man, it was a joke.
