According to BRaun's camp they requested an immediate retest once he was informed and he passed it. Quick googling seems it was about 2 weeks after. I guess what you're saying though is they should've just tossed them all after it couldn't be shipped that night and tested them again the next available day. Which is why the MLB wouldn't wanted to do a retest. Braun knew that test was going to be positive the second he did it. Part of making the program the best it can be is not doing something like this. There has been zero scientific evidence anything the collector did would effect the testosterone levels. Comparing it to spilling it on the ground just doesn't seem true. His sample was fine, which we know because the sample made it to Montreal with it 20x levels or whatever it was. The fact he took over 10x the right dosage explains the stupidly high level. At the time people thought it had to be fake because it was so high, you'd have to be recklessly stupid to get a test that high...and well...Braun was.

Haha yes and it was a hilarious attempt. Of course his whole appeal was done behind closed doors and since he got suspended no big deal was made of his fake website attempt. Braun's wasn't private and once it became public he decided to take the low road...then he won the appeal and once you are on that low road you are kinda stuck on it. Braun's mouth, it becoming public, and the fact he won his appeal was quite the equation for a huge train wreck. It should have never been that way, but you get what you get.

No way, I doubt MLB would want that. They likely need the samples from the days they demand at the times they demand. If the collector doesn't do so you would have to wonder if he got paid off by the player, which would be painfully easy to do. MLB didn't have a problem with how he handled it, he had done it that way many many times. Braun's lawyers found a loop hole essentially that MLB didn't predict ahead of time a player could use it as an out. If MLB didn't want the samples handled that way they wouldn't have changed it after the fact to allow such handling to be acceptable in the future.

Speaking of clutch stats maybe you guys should talk about Aguilars....less arguing!
-
Y’all realize we still gotta get three outs...right? And judging by the 11 runs the other team has we average more than one an inning.
-
Yelich is the 4th Briggs (9 innings) Kevin Reimer (13 innings) Jean Segura (14 innings) Weird, Brewers site doesn’t show that one. I remember it though.

Found some info on 7 hits games as it is poorly tracked if you do it in extras: A host of players have had a 6-for-6 day at the plate, and two have gone 7-for-7 — Cesar Gutierrez of the Tigers (in 12 innings) in 1970 and Rennie Stennett of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1975, in a dominant nine-inning effort. But we’re still waiting on someone to go 8-for-8 or better. In 2016, the San Francisco Giants’ Brandon Crawford narrowly missed, going 7-for-8 in a 14-inning win over the Marlins, with only a fifth-inning strikeout keeping him from the feat. In 1932, Cleveland Indians shortstop Johnny Burnett was 9-for-11 at the plate in an 18-inning loss to the Philadelphia Athletics. However, the perfect eight-hit day is still out there waiting to be had. Still incredibly rare. So there you go. Johnny Burnett managed 9-11 and his team lost in 18 innings.
-
Rennie Stennett is the only one I'm aware of doing it, at least in the modern era. Who would the other two be? Brandon Crawford (2016) and Wilbert Robinson (1892)
-
How many of those lost? Haha not sure, Crawford needed a crazy extra innings win...so history is repeating itself.
-
I believe there are only three players to ever have 7 hits in a game and I am pretty sure none of them have ever hit for the cycle in that same game. Crawford needed extra innings to do it back in 2016. Yelich is the third Brewer in history with 6.
-
Just keep Shaw at second. Not a ton of errors... If he is affordable...highly possible.

It’s a messy situation to figure out because #1 we don’t get all the details and #2 there was so much false garbage thrown around it was hard to sift through. Even now it is hard to figure out thefaction vs. the false junk. I remember at the start the huge deal was the collector claimed no place was open at 5pm and in reality that was never the argument. The statement from the collector was no place would ship it on Friday(?) and it wouldn’t get shipped out till Monday. At which point he held onto it until the day it could get shipped. MLB changed the CBA afterwards to make sure if a similar situation ever happened again it couldn’t get thrown out. From what I read Das got fired because he wouldn’t wait to give his written decision until after they toyed with the CBA to make it where Braun would get tagged with the suspension. Now how can they even do that? I don’t know, you’d think Braun would get judged on the CBA when it happened, not months later. MLB beat themselves with how they wrote the CBA and something was in there that caused a decision they didn’t want. MLB didn’t care about how the collector handled it, but the CBA they made did. Big fail.

I just hope he doesn't pound too many gummies LOL Man I just thought of those Swedish fish in Aguilar’s helmet...now it all makes sense.
-
Pretty sure that is the 2018 Brewers in a nut shell...though lately just frustrating.
-
I will let you know what I think of after his 9th inning homer. Hopefully after that homer the Brewers still aren't trailing. Mmmm.....so true...so true.

If you are going to call my statements false at least provide some kind of rebuttal. All my facts came from legit articles on the topic. Most of them well after the situation so they weren’t full of garbage rumors and false statements. I haven’t read the entire CBA or the CDTs entire policy on collecting. It’s been widely concluded the collector did his job correctly according to CDT terms, but questions arose when it came to the actual CBA policies. Nothing the collector did would have made the sample not legitimate to the standards for testing (the scientist and smart people). That is what was widely reported. The problem was what the CBA required or stated. That is why it was called a technicality by many. Nothing tampered the sample, but had to be thrown out due to CBA requirements and wording.

Usually someone fat/slow and cruddy. Are you questioning George Kottaras' abs? I heard muscle weighs more than fat, must slow him down.
-
Christian Yelich finally becoming the guy we hoped he would be when we got him. A guy going from a bunch of pitchers parks to a bunch of hitters parks. Has truly gone from really good to flat out elite. Really cool he seems destined for that 30 homer mark.
-

Alright Yelich has batted, that’s about it for the offense.
-
Good thing we have him next year too. Always love a GM that thinks down the road too. At nearly $10mil. At that price he better be hitting better than his career average.
-
Alright everyone, go to bed. We got within one.
-
We've given up 10 runs. What is anyone in this lineup supposed to do when you give up 10 runs? That’s the point though. Acquiring him isn’t really a good thing if we can’t actually win game.
-
Yah, now we can feel better about Schoop. Now we gave up prospects for a guy to pop homers while we spiral down the toilet. He is going to need to do a lot more than have a good two weeks to make that deal look good...and actually winning games would be step one.
