1. Suspended for a positive test from the 2023 WBC, what the hell lol

2. What a joke!

3. Dumb as hell

4. Finally taking PEDs seriously

5. He’s just like me <3

6. My man

7. Ridiculous!

8. https://i.redd.it/6lty1ngvzshg1.gif

9. Ya know, this tracks. I swing at sliders away when I’m stoned too.

10. Another case of stupid shit. I hate people being punished for this.

11. This is absurd. Javy is one of the big elements that has made the WBC fun to watch. I hate this.

12. Clearly they’re afraid he’d get the munchies mid game and try to eat someone’s glove.

13. And that would make him better how?

14. I mean, why let ppl who drink alcohol play and not marijuana? Makes no damn sense. Look at all the alcohol related deaths, and they are ok by that, but pot? They draw the line there. What a complete joke.

15. In related news, Cody Bellinger’s decision to opt out of the WBC looming large.

    /s

16. Bull.shit. Could probably show up fall-over-drunk and not even get punished.

17. He really doesnt deserve to have people judge him for this. They should have just asked him to withdraw for personal reasons or something. No need to make a headline out of this.

18. and people say MLB is slow to the punch

19. WBC testing for weed I doubt this is a performance enhancing drug more like he might eat too many hotdogs before the game

20. Yeah I’m not watching WBC this year

21. It is 2026. Are we not done demonizing a plant yet?
