Kolek planning to go pro
Because he was trying to win a case. The guy failed to do his job correctly, and Braun won the appeal. Every single player/person in his situation would have done the exact same thing.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I thought there was more gray area than that. Something along the lines of the collector followed the protocol of his employer, but his employer's protocol was not in line with the CBA of MLB? Anyone remember something similar? (Not that it really makes a difference for this argument).
Hours away from a pivotal series and amidst one of the better division/ wild card races in recent years, can't we find something something else to discuss other than a years-old Braun controversy?
We could talk about arrieta and peds
PEDs are awesome. I wish more Brewers would do them more often. Career minor leaguers can suddenly become the best pitcher in baseball at 28 years old. It's incredible.

Wait, Zach Davies is doing PEDs now?
If that makes Braun the scum of the earth and someone who "tried to get a man fired from his job" and "ruining his life" then I guess Braun is.
How does that make it any better? His legal team works for him. He could have just said "I did it" instead of letting an innocent man take the blame.
Actually, by Wades' logic, Chase Anderson would be the more likely user. He's having a great year in his age 29 season after being mediocre in his career so he must be on something. Scherzer must be using too since he's been amazing since his age 28 season.
He also could have told whatever "team" he has that he wasn't doing a press conference. He could have filed the appeal, never talked to the media, won the appeal and the guy's name never makes it to the public. By the way, MLB allows I think 5 times the normal limit of testosterone. Braun's tested 20 times. Once a guy fails, the testing organization sends to another organization just to be sure. He tested positive again. The protocol was breached, the urine was still dirty.
Yeah because Scherzer didn't have a 3.05 ERA in 16 appearances as a rookie or 3.50 ERA in his third season. Just went from bad to best pitcher in baseball. Oh wait. Lol
Neither did Arrieta, genius.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Hmm. He went 4.66, 5.05, 6.20, 4.78. And then he turned 28 and it was 2.53. Hmm.
PS I really love the "genius." Brings me back to those 3rd grade days. It's awesome. Almost as awesome as PEDs taking a guy from being unable to stick in the majors to the best pitcher in baseball at age 28. Hmm...
