Jayson Werth is going to cost the Nats $20MM/$21MM/$21MM/$21MM in his age 35-38 seasons. I have to look at things like that from time to time to make me feel less worried about the Nats. They better build a fanbase real freaking quick.

MLB drug testing program is a joke. I'm sure tons of players still juicing.


I think it's doing its job, except for that time the guy fucked up and Ryan Braun got to play 50 games he shouldn't have

remember that report saying Bautista had been tested like 15 times in one season?

also the post you're replying to was a dumb joke
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

5.23.

That's Yu Darvish's ERA since May 16th.

3.53.

That's Kyle Kendrick's ERA since May 16th.

Baseball is a funny game.

Astros lost again, so 9-28 or worse for a sub-.300 winning %.

Sounds like it's now a lock that the Astros are going back to navy and orange next year and their hats will be a modernized version of the 60s-80s ones. Their uniforms are expected to be a modernized version of the shooting star ones from the late 60s, but without the shooting star and using the font from the road ones. The new logo will be a generic circle one like the Nationals and Padres...

Medford's Marcus Stroman, the 22nd overall pick by the Blue Jays in this year's draft, received a 50-game suspension Tuesday for violating Major League Baseball's drug prevention and treatment program.

Stroman, 21, tested positive for the stimulant methylhexaneamine while playing for Class A Vancouver, where he made seven appearances this season before his Aug. 1 promotion to Double-A New Hampshire. Stroman was a combined 3-0 with a 3.26 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 19 1/3 innings over 15 games.

"Despite taking precautions to avoid violating the minor-league testing program, I unknowingly ingested a banned stimulant that was in an over-the-counter supplement," Stroman said in a statement. "Nonetheless, I accept full responsibility and I want to apologize to the Toronto Blue Jays organization, my family, my teammates, and the Blue Jays fans everywhere. I look forward to putting this behind me and rejoining my teammates."

July OPS was 1.043. August is 1.146.

I agree. If Giants win the division, it's gotta be him I'd guess. Without him, they finish 3rd in the PCL.
