So that's 17 regular season games and 8 in the postseason, if we play that many. Probably done for the year given how rusty he'll be if we are still playing after all of that.

Why couldn't this have happened two weeks ago? Burned the suspension in the reg season that way. Good grief.

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).

Or that people who are not performing get stupid when they are desperate.

This.

I bet he resorted to this after a few months of subpar performance. It's a shame. Especially after he brusquely brushed off the questions about last season. There are no shortcuts to success.

Yes, but fewer things have gone wrong for the Orioles than any other team in the division.

I'm not sure what your point is so I'm not going to argue with you. This is another in a string of bad luck occurrences that now includes losing three 2013 all stars from our everyday lineup, among other things. It's all turned out OK so far but it's still bad news.

OK, but I wouldn't call taking PED's bad luck.

    • I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections?    A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.   Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.
    • Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!
    • Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie
    • Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.
    • Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
