Who cares? Literally everyone as the thought enter their head when they see a really muscular guy hitting homeruns.

Alright I'm just not going to watch any brewers reds games anymore this year. Thames is going to average 2hr a game against them I'm sure

Well it's a mortal lock the guy is on the finest cattle roids but I don't care one bit. I'm about as pro roids as one can be. Let us Thames.

Unlike Buster Posey providing the major piece to a championship puzzle, the Christian Arroyo era begins with him walking into a post-apocalyptic Giants wasteland with Drew Stubbs, kind of a baseball version of A Boy And His Dog

I certainly won't profess to knowing much about PED's, but Thames' listed weight is only 5 pounds more than it was when he was last in MLB and he was ripped then, too, so I suppose that might be one bit of evidence that he either a) just figured out how to hit in Korea, or b) is having a hot month.

But whatever. As someone said, if a muscular guy is mashing homers, there will always be PED talk. That and he basically came out of nowhere (though he mashed big taters like crazy in Korea against lesser pitching).

Does any one else think that a baserunner being picked off should count as a CS. I understand separating the stats for defense, but if a runner gets got after he safely reached base it should be a CS.

Benching a red hot Bro in Coors field may not be the best strategy Mr. Toothpick.

I'm convinced Dusty is on this earth to bring heartbreak to fans of baseball. First with the Giants, then the Cubs, now the entirety of MLB fandom for benching BRO in Coors

Byron Buxton has 61 plate appearances this year with 28 strikeouts. How is that even possible for someone in the Majors, let alone someone that was expected to be good?
