vs. ASTROS, 5/25

[Aristotelian]

Pretty sure that is at least a double with Delmon there.

The commandant?

It's hard to beat The Drake.

Definitely not Admiral though...certainly already taken. And he didn't graduate. I'm guessing he'd be a little uncomfortable with it.

If he keeps pitching like this though he can pick about anything he wants!

Everyone knew it was a significant risk.

Not like we didn't have a glaring example of what could go wrong to look at.

Considering all the position player holes in our organization I think it was well worth the risk. Have to take some. Not like it was a crazy deal.

Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids, synthetic substances that are derivatives of testosterone, are the substance most people reference when they use the word "steroids." This type of steroid stimulates the body to convert proteins into muscle tissue, so it's known for the prominent effect of building muscle when taken during athletic training.

Anabolic steroids can be taken by mouth or injected into the body; the duration of effect depends on the type of steroid administered. Athletes often take anabolic steroids to build muscle and help stimulate muscle repair and recovery after activity.

Anabolic steroids are sometimes administered for non-athletic purposes. Some medical conditions warrant anabolic steroid use, including growth problems in children and adolescents, some types of tumors, muscle wasting diseases (such as HIV/AIDS), and most recently the increased use of low testosterone for aging.

Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids are medications that have effects on inflammation in the body — a process known as a 'cascade of events.' This cascade means that, for inflammation to develop, a series of events takes place. Corticosteroids have effects on a specific step in that cascade of events, stopping the process, and therefore reducing inflammation.

Corticosteroids can also be taken orally, injected into a specific area, injected into the blood stream, or inhaled. To limit side effects, local injections are most often preferred. But if the inflammation is more severe or widespread, systemic steroids may be required.

Corticosteroids can be used for many medical conditions that cause inflammation. Injected corticosteroids, often called cortisone shots, are often used for arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis. Systemic steroids may be used for conditions including asthma, multiple sclerosis, lupus, allergic reactions, and many other problems.

It't not anabolic. Completely different drug group. It will, however, add weight if you choose to do several Medrol Dose Packs.

I know what it is and what it does.

And it certainly enhances his performance.

[BradyBunch]

I forget, what is the specific diagnosis exactly? Is it always the same thing?

Don't know. But its typically tightness or spasms.

[MdSooner]

Machado did not run that ball out

True and at first I was also upset.

But Manny hit the ball hard and right at the SS and he thought the SS caught the ball in the air

So no big deal really - i think

I wasn't angry about it.

I wouldn't have done it but I didn't think it was foolhardy.

Damn don't like that. Would rather have heard something random like an ankle twist.

It's actually better than "Shoulder again." Call played for several years with no back.
