:no:

Dude was caught again, making that argument invalid. Braun also didn't have to drag the guy through the mud and cost him his job, either. Knowing he was guilty and getting away with it should have been enough. Obviously, it wasn't enough and he was confident enough to go back to whatever he was taking :jewcer:

He wasn't caught again.

He wasn't caught again.

According to an Associated Press source, 50 games of the penalty were connected to Biogenesis. The additional 15 games stemmed from Braun's actions during the grievance that overturned his positive test from October 2011. The suspension will count as a first violation of the drug program, the source told the AP.

"Stemmed from Braun's actions"

Basically he got 50 games for the positive test and 15 games for his actions afterwards with the PC and lying etc.

So if it was proved he was lying in order to be named innocent ... doesn't that mean he was ... eventually ... caught?

So you would expect the clams to clap for Jean Segura, then briefly sit down for 10 seconds, before getting back up to clap for Aramis Ramirez?

Braun isn't the only player who has lied about using steroids. Lets not single him out.

The standing ovation in question was before his at bat. Not during player intros.

The fans were clearly making a (shitty) statement. No bad media narrative here. Just bad form by the fans. He's not some kind of returning hero. He's a guy who cheated, lied about it, and had no qualms about burying the poor guy who collected the sample in an attempt to save his own rep. Pretty deplorable.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

He didn't do his job correctly, that's why Braun got off in the first place, and MLB fired him.

Braun's statements implying that the specimen collector tampered with his piss is one of the most cowardly & pathetic acts I've seen from an athlete. Especially now that we know for sure that Braun was fully aware he was full of shit the entire time.

But yeah, let's give this creep a standing ovation. For what, exactly?

Ramos out for 5 weeks

 

[Slateman]

And will most likely have a power drop when he comes back. Dude can't catch a break.

EDIT - Baylor had bone marrow cancer? That would explain the ease of which he fractured one of the strongest bones in the body.

 

[Price]

Old man bones.

He actually has a cancer called Multiple Myeloma which weakens bones.

You guys hear the one about the Brewers getting 2-hit by Aaron Harang?
