What's the estimate on how widespread PEDs are?

Sydin posted:

Depends on what you're talking about. Stuff like anabolic steroids or HGH get continuously randomly tested for inuding masking agents, so use of those is probably quite low. Drugs of abuse or amphetamines are only tested under probable cause though, so I'd wager that rate is much higher. Also while it's not quite PED's one of the things to come out of the Skaggs tragedy is that it was an open secret teams threw pills at their players if it meant they could play through minor injuries, so a not insignificant number of players are/were addicted to pain killers.

Yeah that all make sense, thanks! I said PEDs because I meant things like amphetamines and not HGH since I could see how useful they could be to a pro ball player and how easy it would be for a team doctor to just say "It's for his ADD"

Phillies gave a contract to Vince Velasquez


God damnit I don't want to watch him pitch ineffectively for another year

Unfortunately this is looking like the _only_ move we're gonna make this off-season....

EDIT: I'm just realizing that not everyone will get it: the name is a play on the band "pig destroyer" and apparently the drummer from Thrice is in this band.

The Phillies ain't doing poo poo this year

Braves coukd cut half their team and still finish ahead of the Phillies



But yeah, Mets are NL East favorites I think

The Phillies ain't doing poo poo until we get new ownership

I heard somewhere (a podcast) that the MLB is considering rule where each team gets a DH until the starting pitcher is removed from the game, has anyone else heard this?

The sensible compromise for extra innings, if eliminating marathon games and avoiding ties are both of critical importance for some reason, would be to play innings 10,11,12 the normal way and then implement the runners in the 13th.

This 100%. It's a great compromise and iirc the majority of extra inning games end before 12/13 anyway.

I spent years thinking cricket was insane bullshit that I would never be able to learn, and then a couple months ago I watched a four minute youtube video that laid the rules out and was all "oh huh okay it's actually pretty simple."

I had the same experience and am bummed that most matches are not something I can watch easily
