    because clenbuterol isn't a steroid and is an ingredient in asthma medication in pretty much every other country but here. clenbuterol's only real use outside of that is as a fat burner for people who are on steroids

    I mean, Duane Brown tested positive for this and didn't get anything, claiming it was from bad meat. Just seems like a real stupid drug to be on the list.

    Lost in all this is that Gee is starting for CY Saturday.

    That's horseshit. If we're going to get busted for drugs at least make them some awesome horse steroids to get jacked off of not asthma medication. Geesh.

    Surprised Moore would outright say a current starter is about to be replaced. Doesn't seem his style.

    Man, we are playing a really terrible brand of baseball right now and it is really tough to watch. The sequences that led to the 7th inning meltdown were so depressing.

    We won consecutive pennants and a world championship mostly due to our pitching...so, not for awhile.

    yeah i have a bigger beef with our scouting and drafting right now. the fact that they can't develop a starting pitcher is more troubling than 47 year old chris young's ineffectiveness

    They developed guys, they're just starting in Oakland and Cincinnati. We're paying now for the trades made last year, worth it.

    Our success rate for starters is still woefully inadequate.

    I agree. But for the immediate, the pitchers we did develop were traded last year

    Moore and Eiland both stated none of the pitchers we traded were in our short or long term plans. That's a lot of media fluffing but I believe they didn't see any of those guys in the future rotation. It's frustrating to see guys with insane amounts of talent like Duffy and Ace never reach their potential or to see free agents come here and regress.

    Yea but Finnegan and Manaea would have been options for us to use. Instead we don't really have anyone that's not on the roster already(minus Minor who will be back soon)

    I'm not sure I'd attach the descriptor "insane amounts of talent" to Danny Duffy.

    Has everyone forgot Duffy had a 2.5 ERA in 2014 and up until he hit the wall at the end of the year it was sub 2.2. His FIP wasn't as good but our defense is good enough I don't care about that.

    Also it's painfully obvious the team wanted no part of finnegan after he showed up to spring training fat as fuck

    Starting to think that was a smoke and mirrors thing. Sure, he's got 95-98 in his pocket, but that comes with no deception and no movement. He has shaky command and doesn't really have a swing and miss out pitch. His curve has nice movement but it isn't a K pitch.

    Alexander's a solid loogy. Got a long look in ST but they went with Wang instead. He'd make most bullpens.
