That is how he got hurt.

Smoking hot Cardinals!

With Yadi back and pitching reinforcements, things are really looking up. This team is doing the little things well!

Watching the little Cubbie Bear prepare for hibernation.

White Sox already problematic season with more bad news - Tim Anderson out 4-6 weeks (so virtually the season) with a torn ligament in his hand/thumb..

12-23 in first game of series this season. That’s both bad, random, and crazy.

[DegenerateDish]

What the Baltimore Orioles are doing is beyond comprehension. They are 22-8 in their last 30 games, in that division too. Really unbelievable stuff.

Its INSANE.  8 of their last 9.  24-8 since July 1.  All with a meh roster.  Mullins is a potential star but he's having a mediocre year.  Rutschman is not quite there yet.  Hell, they traded their All Star representative.  Its crazy.  Fully expect them to finish the sweep of the Jays tonight.

Avila out in Detroit.  I am sure they will start hitting now.

[MU82]

Bases loaded, 2 outs, 1-run game … Ump in LLWS just called the batter out on a pitch at least half a foot outside.

They really need Tork to pan out at the highest level.

Brewers are 13-4 against the AL East (yet to face NY) and Minnesota. 47-46 against everyone else.

[BrewCity83]

Yankees are 13-19 in their last 32 games and 22-25 in their last 47.  Started out 49-16 in their first 65 games; now at 71-41, they have to finish 29-21 to get to 100 wins.

Fernando Tatis Jr. suspended 80 games for PEDs.
Wowza

[tower912]

Daniel Norris is the 15th starting pitcher for Detroit this season.   Combined with a .228 team batting average....

Blames it on a drug he took for ringworm. LOL

If AJ Preller sounds this pissed in his publicity release imagine how angry he is behind closed doors.

[DegenerateDish]

I’d be so pissed if I was a Padres fan. They now won’t have Tatis for one of their three playoff runs while Soto is there. The postgame player comments from other Padres are telling, they’re all pissed too.

So interestingly, not only is Clostebol is very commonly used for ringworm, its only an effective anabolic steroid if its injected intravenously.  So I wonder if there is a way to easily check/verify his usage if it was indeed a medication in pill form.  Not that it would revoke the suspension.

Regardless, feels a lot like the Dee Gordon suspension for the same substance.  Someone getting popped for using something when coming back from injury to expedite/aid the process, as opposed to getting Bonds jacked to rip bombs, given that its a relatively weak steroid.

And on the bright side for the Padres, at least it happened during his cheapest salary year!

Note to the Brewers.

Albert Pujols can still punish mistakes. Especially against lefties.

That’s what roiders do.  Cardinals have a rich history of cheating back to the days of Stan Musial

It’s just a baseball game. You’ll be okay.

Good of you to mention Stan Musial. Pujols needs 8 total bases to pass Stan Musial for 2nd all time in MLB. With his 10th home run today, Pujols moves into a 3rd place tie with Stan Musial for most MLB seasons with double digit home runs. (21)

Two of the games greatest cheaters joined at the hip, part of a franchise with a history of cheating
