Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, among the dozen players who accepted 50-game suspensions from Major League Baseball on Monday for ties with the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic in Florida, blamed his situation on a gastrointestinal illness.

who is he fooling

btw verlander int done for season. dusty said he'll be re-evaluated in 2 weeks

This is Chris Sale all over again. They'll keep re-evaluating till they shut him down eventually.

He's at that age where it's not wise to rush, especially in a short season.

if a game is on espn its blacked out on mlb tv, such a stupid thing

They want you to spend $$$ on that ESPN subscription.

you'd have to be dumb to buy mlb tv with s*** like that tbh

Could've sworn they said MLB.TV was gonna stop blacking games out, guess not.

can still just get it on my laptop but its just not the same

They put a Porcello start on ESPN

that's the only reason i care

once a sox, always a sox in my heart

F*** him as a Sox and as a Met, you understand why.

The cutouts behind the plate are so f***ing creepy looking.

Verlander would deny reports of his injury but stays silent on his team cheating.

need somone to clip a baby cutout's head off a foul ball

being a detroit tiger for so long will do that to you

Same way mlb is staying silent on the yankees cheating

Was nothing to talk about.

ESPN really gotta have the Braves dudes take over on commentary during a Mets game on National TV

Hate this guy already

Need Piazza and Wright on commentary

all part of Manfred's long term goal to reduce baseball fan support by 75% before 2023
