Can't wait until his excuse.

In all fairness, he could have a valid excuse. There are prescribed medications that could trigger a positive test if the test is given at the right time. Think with what happened to Gamboa in the minors this year.

Now, that is a could and we have to see what happens, but it matters little right now.

The people that are most critical about the use of others turn out to be usually the ones doing it. Time and time again this holds true.

Maybe he was at the Kentucky Derby with Wes:)

In my sixth grade Tech Ed class, one kid would always pass gas then ask angrily, "MAN!!! who farted????" and start blaming everyone else. I'm pretty sure that after a few times we all knew it was him even though he tried to pass blame on everyone else.

Last year, didn't Chris say something about how he would never use that kind of stuff? Never say never I guess...

Yes.

I specifically remember the interview before the game where he was ADAMANT about his stance on this sort of thing. That's what makes me even more ticked off about this. I get all the "well what was he supposed to say"... but having a hard time accepting that line.

what a disappointment/joke this guy is. I wouldn't even want to see him in the lineup after this whole thing if he even was able to somehow play in the postseason (which he's not).

It matters Zero to me. Whatever triggered it he should have been smart enough to not take it, period.

I believe with the new rule that was implemented with the Biogenesis players, he would not be allowed to return in the postseason.

I could be wrong though, since I'm not sure if amphetamines qualify as PEDs in baseball (I know they do in football).

I think amphetamines are their own policy.

Omg... Espn talking about how this helps the Yankees. That's their angle here.

I'm not a math genius but that adds up to 26 games, not 25. Just saying.

    • Direction on the 90 degrees of the field.  
    • I was listening to a Fox Sports Radio broadcast (sorry, can't remember who it was). They put the teams into tiers. The O's were in the top tier along with the Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. I don't know how long it's been that during the season, someone would have called us top tier. And to think, this is happening with two of our starters out for the year and Bradish and Kremer have spent time on the IL. We are doing this with Hays, Mullins, Urias and Santander starting the season on an extreme slump. We have done this with Mateo starting almost every day (which most people thought would be a horrible thing). We have done this with a bullpen that has been very inconsistent. Imagine if we get some of this stuff fixed and some people back to just playing to their career averages. 
    • I'm not sure what we are doing with Vieira. I figured the trade was about the prospect and they had to take him and his salary to make it happen. I expected him to be DFA right away and they would try to send him to the minors to work on him. 
    • What would differentiate them? 
    • Btw, in the 4 game series against the Jays last year (July 31-Aug. 3rd), it is insane that Mountcastle hit for an .846(!) avg with an OPS of 1.932!  
    • Vieira doesn’t have options.  
    • May 2024 This month, two non-prospects were obvious choices for MiL Plsyer and Pitcher of the Month: Player of the Month 28-year old Daniel Johnson led the org in SLG, OPS, HR (tie) and RBI.  He hit .350/.439/.725 with 6 HR and 23 RBI pm In the prospect division, I’m going with 19-year old Leandro Arias, .333/.400/.667 with 3 HR and 13 RBI in 16 games.   Honorable mentions to Ellis Cuevas at .992 OPS, Heston Kjerstad .964 with 14 RBI in 16 games after returning to the minors, and Stiven Acevedo at .953.   Pitcher of the Month In between stinking up the major leagues, 27-year old Jonathan Heasley pitched 16 scoreless innings with an 0.813 WHIP. In the prospect division, 21-year old Edgar Portes pitched to an 0.42 ERA in 20.2 innings, with an 0.919 WHIP and 11.8 K/9.   Honorable mentions: Eccel Correa 0.96 ERA in 18.2 IP, and Trey Gibson with a 1.76 ERA, 1.044 WHIP, and 15.3 K/9 in 15.1 IP.
