Nice timing

Yeah..."I forgot" doesn't quite work for me...wtf...

[dc.]

Where did he say I forgot? He said he previously had an exemption but didn't anymore.

 

I'm just more annoyed that to get suspended for this you first get a private warning... Maybe that was a ways back when he was in Texas, but either way... He knew they would catch him.

[dc.]

To answer my own question in part, if you are reading his "I made a mistake" as, "I thought it was OK," ... I disagree with that interpretation. I think he is simply saying, "I made a mistake," as in, please forgive my bad behavior.

[ForceEight]

I'd rather not.

 

Good to know that our .190 hitter is the one caught with PEDs.

Interesting take from Jayson Stark. I don't totally buy it in the sense that I don't think we can underplay that it does enhance play (or can). But I do but it's addictiveness, at least psychologically, and that if Davis had an exemption previously I do wonder why it was removed or expired

[thundercleetz]

I don't see this as a big loss. Davis was a good defensive player who provided the occasional long ball, but it won't be hard to replace .200/.300/.400 in the lineup.

[dc.]

Well his hits were pretty darn timely when he got them... But he probably missed a lot of chances that even a 250 hitter would have capitalized on
