From Rosenthal:
Sources: #Braves left-hander Andrew McKirahan suspended 80 games for PEDs. Rule 5 pick from #Cubs. Claimed on waivers from #Marlins.

How on earth do these guys take stanzolol, winstrol etc and think they're going to get away with it???

...and what is this doing getting leaked by "sources" rather than announced by MLB?

McKirahan addressed/apologized to the team last night. I assume it leaked from there.

Being a Rule 5 guy, it looks like a desperation move to get to the majors. Still stupid, but the temptation has to be there for a guy in his mid 20s who's been judged a career minor leaguer.

Yep.

Temptation is there for the most talented guys on the planet. Middling minor league guys have to feel pressure, too.

You tell me, as a borderline big leaguer, that I can use a cream to make 2x or 3x (at least) as much money as I do now, and I'll do whatever I can to get it.

He got caught - but it's hard to blame him for doing it.

It's way worse than that. A guy in AAA may or may not have gotten a signing bonus and is making $40k or less. The MLB minimum is slightly over $500k.

It's a mesh net.. She was walking between front row and net to get to her seat. Very poor layout. Wrong place wrong time

I saw the video. She went down hard. Was reading on Twitter she has been down for 20+ and they have stopped play on the field. Gotta think it's pretty serious.

You gotta think PNC rethinks the netting ASAP. It's designed to prevent that.
