Positive PED tests fly forever.

Yeah, most everyone knows he is lying.. but still to say it outright makes it hard to come back from. He can always hide behind that sliver of doubt he was not a cheater.. also makes it easier for fans to accept. they can also start to forgive quicker.

It's what happened with Pettite. He admitted to using it to help him come back from injury and largely got a free pass from the fans/media. Making excuses makes you look like a joke. Tatis is now a joke.

good example.. I couldn't think of any case of a guy just coming out and owning it.

Just wait till they also figure out Soto is really 60

[CyYoung31]

yeah, the phillies spending a bunch of money and having it eventually turn into one year of the playoffs so far isn’t impressive at all. their development still hasn’t been good so far and they always have a bad contract or two hanging around. Castellanos was a bad use of $20m and they still don’t really have any depth. there isn’t much on the farm outside the two pitchers who are really young.

We know.

PEDs should be legal for recovery. Anything that helps get the player back on the field.

slippery slope my friend. Oh, I tweaked my groin... oh, I need a 10 day dl to recover.. what, I tested positive.. oh that was from that 10 day DL or when I sprained my wrist and missed 2 games.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Walker Buehler having season ending elbow surgery. Dodgers can't keep a healthy rotation. Gotta be frustrating for their fans.

[CyYoung31]

Very real chance the Dodgers become the first team since the 2001 Mariners to win 110 games.

Things are not well in San Diego

[thewupk]

Damn...Freeman making his new SS play everyday now too

[Hudson2]

To many egos and it’s gonna be worse when Tatis is back. Soto may not even wanna resign.

[Super]

We know.

do you? bc you seem impressed with Dombrowski spending a bunch of money to make the playoffs once.

[Tapate50]

Things are not well in San Diego

Yeah that was a bad look for Pro

[thethe]

Think you guys are creating drama that doesn’t exist in that video. That looks like a team finding itself and will grow together from it. Or not.....

So, that whole paragraph and that’s what you took from it, huh? Can you point out where I said I was impressed by that particular endeavor?

Do better.

[WaitingFor2017]

Freddie’s decline may start earlier if he’s playing every inning of every game. With the Dodgers record and place in the standings, Freddie could afford to take a game off each week the rest of the way.

Now, he’s got the Phillies on the verge of their first playoff appearance in over a decade.

So, Dombrowski is a pretty good GM. Yes, he’s mainly good at win-now mode, but he’s really good at it. I’m confused at where the dismissiveness comes from.

yes, this implies that you’re impressed that Dombrowski spent a bunch of money and has the phillies positioned as a wild card team. it’s not particularly difficult to make the playoffs with that kind of payroll so i wouldn’t add that to his list of accomplishments, that’s all. any GM can spend a bunch of money to “win now” and create a short contention window. actual good GMs build.

As the original poster in this Dombrowski side bar, I didn’t take that away AT ALL from what Cy said.

Of course it wasn’t. The point was about his entire body of work. That was just a footnote.
