Good for him. Really interested in the explanation now.

wow didn't see that one coming

Oh great.

Bug Selig protecting the superstar of his child team.

Yeah. MLB sure isn't corrupt.
Yeah. Sure isn't sweeping the issue under the rug here.

No totally I totally believe Braun didn't use. Totally.

I never really believed he cheated. I'm glad for him

>>19043617
You would have to be fucking retarded to actually believe Braun did steroids

>>19043617

Good new for baseball in general. Bad news for the Reds

>>19043636
Why do you say that? I'm genuinely interested in knowing why people think it's impossible that Braun used.

cool, brewers still suck anyway

WISCO 4 EVA

>>19043636
Yes you would have to be retarded to read artificial testosterone and think steroids.

Moral of the story: It's okay to cheat as long as you are a likable guy.

>>19043697
Moral of the story: You shouldn't leak this shit until it's confirmed.

>>19043662
Not impossible, just very unlikely. the entire situation made little sense. Why would a player who had been consistently tested his entire minor and major league career (during which time he was also consistently successful) suddenly begin cheating without a change in performance at the end of a season knowing that making the playoffs meant another upcoming test.

Plus the whole highest testosterone level ever recorded in a human thing screams an error in testing

>>19043673
Brewers will most likely win the Central again

So, which is worse for him? Being suspended for being a cheater or telling the world he has herpes?

Aaron must have had to suck a lot of dicks for this

>>19043751
wait a minute...

>>19043751
So now they are saying it's not reversed?

>>19043733
because he was able to hide his steroid use. there's plenty of ways to cheat on drug tests. if he is so legit, why don't his stories match up? first it was the herpes medicine, then it's hair loss medicine. what next? face it, your guy is a cheating roid user.

MLB has put out a statement saying it "vehemently disagrees" with arbitrator's decision on Braun. That would be Shyam Das.

He never said it was herpes or hair loss medicine. Those were just internet rumors. We haven't heard what his argument was yet.

Maybe he was on PEDs, but nothing you're saying is legit.

Ryan Braun has done a lot of amazing things in career but MLB people are telling me this probably tops list. First big-leaguer to win appeal

KNEW IT! If you ACTUALLY believed Braun used steroids, you're a fucking retard. Clean his whole career, literally no reason to do so, no upcoming paychecks, consistent numbers through his career, etc. etc.

Thats utterly false. The arbitrator almost always sides with the league, remember the whole "the arbitrator has never overturned a substance suspension so Braun's won't be either" argument

The Brewers easily won the Central last year and the Cards lost their best player. The Brewers will win it again

We will see how he hits without Prince fat ass behind him

The Reds are still the favorite to win the NL Central

>doubters of Braun

>>19043990
>OH GEE I WONDER WHY MLB IS UNHAPPY
because this calls their entire testing procedure into question

>>19043931
Also the entire situation around the tests were apparently really shady. I guess multiple other positive results from other players were in the batch, and the levels in Braun's test were borderline not physically possible and certainly not healthy.

>Braun not hitting .230 next year with 11 homeruns after quitting the juice

NO!

>>19044007

>MFW

ESPN better be sued for their slanderous leaking of the test

This shit is far from over. Expect to hear about MLB investigating Shyam Das soon. I bet Braun paid him off or something, I know for a fact (I have family in the Brewers organization) he used PEDs.

Braun benefited a lot by having Fielder with him, now that he's gone and now has the brunt of being johnny on the spot on him now he's gonna explode?

I don't understand this line of thinking. If the Cards are going to experience a drop off, so are the Brewers.

>>19044038
>>I know for a fact (I have family in the Brewers organization) he used PEDs

>>19044017
Yeah weren't there rumors that like 5 other players tested positive at the same time. Does that mean that a bunch of other players just won appeals that didn't get made public?

>>19044050

>Reds sweep in and take the Central

>>19044007
The Reds were closer to the Pirates than even 2nd place last year. They closed the gap a little but they are a ways from competing

>>19043991
And Braun had Fielder directly behind him in the lineup all year. Do you think anyone's going to pitch to Braun when the next best hitter on the team is Aramis Ramirez?

GET MAD, WHO'S MAD??????

>>19044038
>I know for a fact (I have family in the Brewers organization) he used PEDs.

'Haudricourt says the appeal went Braun's way not because of the test result, but because of a technicality with the testing process. '

he did steroids. expect a huge dropoff.

>>19044053
Doubt all you want, just remember I broke this shit first when Braun gets suspended for life from baseball

welp I'm done with baseball til seligball is over. And seeing how they gave him extension it will be awhile. Enjoy your shitty cheating ass sport luckswing fans

he sure jewed his way out of this one

Can any of you people please let me know if Marquette is playing in the OVC or the MAC this year?

this is horse shit. "haters need to close the book blah blah" what the fuck ever! if the test was an error then why didnt the drug test company say that or re test him? why didnt braun immidently deny instead he was silent as a mouse. there are ways to pass drug test i think braun is a jewcer i cant believe he won, he could still be on the roids what iff he fails again? now other players can roid out and say the took herpes medicine this is un real im blown away i hope the hate continues and i hope he gets boooooed when he goes to other ball park CHEATER CHEATER JUICER JUICER JEW JEW JEW

>>19044050

>>19043987
>>19043971
There are many people, including myself and many baseball writers around Milwaukee that think a Fielderless team would be better. Prince is a fantastic hitter, no doubt, but he's the LeBron James of the MLB. He doesn't make the team better and he doesn't perform in the clutch when it really matters, only at least LeBron can play defense.

Brewers lose Fielder, but don't forget they gained Aramis Ramirez and probably the best hitter to come out of Japan in a few years, Norichika Aoki. Those two alone should help a great deal with the gap made by Fielder's absence

Herpes makes you a better hitter. All kids are going to want to contract it now

I honestly don't understand all the buttmad. Is it just a bunch of Kempfags? What?

Why can't we give someone the benefit of the doubt? Why can't you be glad that one of the games best players, who not even close to steroid numbers, won't be sitting for a third of the season. Why do you want to see someone fry so bad?

You fucking pessimistfags need to stop being so self-convincing when, truly, you know nothing about this case other than what ESPN and /sp/ have told you.

>>19044124
Because the MLB doesn't pass on an opportunity to crucify someone, everyone knows that. None of the Mitchell Report fuckers got off easy and this goes way back to before steroids and Pete Rose.

If they had a legitimate case against Braun they would have gone forward with it. Since they didn't then that means there must be something wrong with either the testing procedure or with the individual test.

Stop being mad about some other team's player. Braun won't be booed because look at other guys like Pettitte who were caught and no one really gave a shit. Braun isn't Bonds.

HE'S THE FIRST PLAYER IN OVER A HUNDRED CASES TO BE INNOCENT? WHAT THE FUCK. I'M CALLING BULLSHIT AND SELIGBALL TO THE MAX ON THIS. HE'S THE JEWISH PRODIGY CHILD OF MLB AND THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD BE INNOCENT.

so what's the excuse to him testing "the highest ever on any steroid test MLB has ever conducted"?

>>19044380

>>19044353
Exactly my point.

Rednecks from the boonies root for a school they didn't even go to. The retention rate for Wisconsin graduates to stay in Wisconsin is not that high at all, same as Marquette. But I know for a fact that many people throughout the state love Badger basketball especially because they play a "more pure" form of basketball, and would even go as far as saying that Marquette plays like a group of streetballers.

>>19044408
NOBODY WILL ACCUSE MY LOVE OF ANY WRONGDOING

>>19044285
Stating demographic facts is not racism. The mere mention of a race does not make someone a racist.
Most of Marquette's fans besides students are from the north side of Milwaukee which is 90%+ black. The rest of Milwaukee and all of the suburbs support the Badgers overwhelmingly and are 95%+ white

This has nothing to do with racism

>>19044429
Because the testing procedure is FUBAR. Would've been nearly impossible for his levels to get that high. I also don't think you people know how drug tests work. And people saying him being the first person to get off is more incriminating than it is vindicating are retarded. It shows the MLB doesn't LET people get off. Braun had to have something come to light.

Also what the fuck are all these haters doing? Why hates the Brewers?

>>19044437

I really doubt this. Braun's a likable player and most fans of the game have got to be happy and relieved he won his appeal.

>>19044469
Marquette practices are widely considered among the most rigorous in the nation, Buzz Williams runs plays like it's game night not only during practices, but during gameday warm-ups, which is why MU players are just as disciplined as Wisconsin players. Everyone always brings up the statistic that Bo Ryan coached teams always make more free throws than their opponents shoot, and the same is true for Buzz Williams every single year he's been at Marquette.

But to the majority of the state, many who didn't even go to UW, Buzz Williams is a scumbag and Marquette is a bunch of thugs playing streetball

>>19044544

Not to mention other teams get forced to switch divisions due to Selig wanting to move his team somewhere they could more easily compete.

A lot of butthurt faggots

He won't get booed out of stadiums, but if you think fans won't mock him you must go to a stadium with a shitty atmosphere.

There will be signs and boos, and taunts. Its inevitable

The technicality is that whoever preformed the test completely fucked it up rendering its results meaningless. He was tested again days later and came out completely clean which would be biologically impossible if the initial test was accurate

Because Jews that's why

Major League Baseball Executive Vice President for Labor Relations Rob Manfred issued the following statement today:

“Major League Baseball considers the obligations of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program essential to the integrity of our game, our Clubs and all of the players who take the field. It has always been Major League Baseball’s position that no matter who tests positive, we will exhaust all avenues in pursuit of the appropriate discipline. We have been true to that position in every instance, because baseball fans deserve nothing less.

“As a part of our drug testing program, the Commissioner’s Office and the Players Association agreed to a neutral third party review for instances that are under dispute. While we have always respected that process, Major League Baseball vehemently disagrees with the decision rendered today by arbitrator Shyam Das.”

>>19044551

Of course they have to be rigorous for Marquette, UW plays in the best conference in the country, they get their rigorous training done during every game.

Meanwhile, Marquette is playing Valpo and Youngstown, and Idaho State. Occasional OOC games against Rutgers and UConn don't make up enough for them.

>>19044583
what says the second test was accurate and the first was innacurate?

Yes, you seem to be misinterpreting what that statement means

Major League Baseball Executive Vice President for Labor Relations Rob Manfred issued the following statement today:

“Major League Baseball considers the obligations of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program essential to the integrity of our game, our Clubs and all of the players who take the field. It has always been Major League Baseball’s position that no matter who tests positive, we will exhaust all avenues in pursuit of the appropriate discipline.

While we have always respected that process, Major League Baseball vehemently disagrees with the decision rendered today by arbitrator Shyam Das.”

>>19044704
Because the Brewers are Selig's team.

>>19044620
Marquette's worst loss is against LSU at LSU an they're a 60 RPI team.

Their other losses were at Georgetown, at Syracuse, vs.Vanderbilt and at Notre Dame. 3 of those teams are in the top 20

Wisconsin got beat at home against Iowa and has yet to win on the road against a top 30 opponent.

Oh yeah and they also got thrashed at home by Marquette, if anyone's keeping score.

But go ahead. Keep up your little joke. That will change everything

Official statement by Braun:
“I am very pleased and relieved by today’s decision.

“It is the first step in restoring my good name and reputation. We were able to get through this because I am innocent and the truth is on our side.

“We provided complete cooperation throughout, despite the highly unusual circumstances.

“I have been an open book, willing to share details from every aspect of my life as part of this investigation, because I have nothing to hide. I have passed over 25 drug tests in my career, including at least three in the past year.

“I would like to thank my family and friends, my teammates, the Brewers organization led by Mark Attanasio, Doug Melvin, Gord Ash and Ron Roenicke, and other players around the league who have expressed their support and our great fans in Milwaukee and around the country who stuck by me and did not rush to judgment.

“I’d also like to offer special thanks to Michael Weiner and the Players Association for believing in me since day one and to my attorneys.

“I’d like to thank my agent Nez Balelo and Terry Prince of CAA Sports and Matthew Hiltzik of Hiltzik Strategies for all of their help and counsel through the process.

ITT: HE DID IT, NO HE DIDN'T!

Who cares? Teams knew how to get him out before this, teams will know how to get him out after.

Really hasn't changed anything.

>>19044646
People dont root for Marquette in Wisconsin because it is filled with upper middle class people from Illinois, nothing Wisconsin hates more than people from Illinois.

>>19044752
“This is not just about one person, but about all current and future players, and thankfully, today the process worked.

“Despite the challenges of this adversarial process, I do appreciate the professionalism demonstrated by the Panel Chair and the Office of the Commissioner.

“As I said before, I’ve always loved and had so much respect for the game of baseball.

“Everything I’ve done in my career has been with that respect and appreciation in mind.

“I look forward to finally being able to speak to the fans and the media on Friday and then returning the focus to baseball and working with my Brewers teammates on defending our National League Central title.”

>>19044674
>knowing that pitching prevents runs allowing your offense to score less

Deal with it. I'm a Pirates fan and I know that the Brewers have a better starting rotation than the Reds. The Reds will continue to be plagued by starting pitching

OK. Have fun in the WAC tournament next week.

LSU is a bad loss no matter how you spin it, they are 73 in Kenpom

clearly you are an idiot

Can't wait until the "technicality" story Rodgers is hinting at finally drops. Godgers-Braun: Bros for life. I'm reposting this screencap whenever the details come forward so you assholes can, indeed, eat crow.

>>19044773

I never said The Reds were better. But, Arroyo will perform to par, or should, and we should get a full season from him/cueto. Leake is only getting better, and if Chapman learns some control, his 93mph slider could wreck people.

>>19044805

You don't have to root for them. Then again, I don't watch college basketball, so I don't have to choose.

>>19044805
Read the thread. The technicality seems to be that the sample was left alone for a few days.

1 loss to the 73rd Kenpom team on the road.

That's not a terrible loss at all, especially if it's your only bad loss of the season.

Why does everyone try to discount Marquette? What the fuck did we do? Plus we have two legitimate contenders for BIG EAST player of the year

I think Badger fans are all just mad. I would be too if I had Jordan Taylor, he hasn't done nearly as much as he needed to this year. Except talk shit on twitter

lel I posted it again

Clean independent test just days after he "failed" the first would be impossible if he actually failed it. The results were clearly abnormal. Something must have gotten fucked in the testing process, and this was shown in independent arbitration.

Everybody who doesn't agree with that is simply mad.

Seriously, your understanding of basketball is clearly poor.
Marquette has 70ish possessions per game compared to Wisconsin's 58ish, of course Marquette's per game stats will be higher. That in no way suggests the players are better

Is this some strange Love Pentagon between Braun, Morgan, Rodgers, Matthews and Selig?

It's funny, considering most Marquette fans root for Badger football.

I don't really care how any of this came out, but I have to say Aaron Rodgers looks pretty fucking faggy right now.

>>19044998
The worst part is Marquette's actual god damn conference isn't listed. The Great Northwest Athletic Conference gets no fucking respect

>>19045000
Wow. This is the most hipster comment I've ever seen about college basketball. I mean I get it, UW does play less possessions, but not considerably less. And they make up for it by getting to the line an awful lot more than other teams.

How about the fact that both Jae Crowder and DJO have won games in the clutch multiple times this season apiece? Does that count for anything? I really don't think Taylor has done that very often this year. Maybe once or twice.

>>19045042
Its also funny that neither UW or Marquette fans watch the Bucks, no one watches the Bucks
