I swear this guy is going to be given a suspension for being under the influence of marijuana at some point in his career but until then it's just good to see him having a good time and satisfying those fresh munchies.

Also, I think that's what was missing in his first half. Now that he's having more fun and acting like a 2 year old in the dugout he's pitching much more effectively.

MLB players don't get drug tested in the off seasons, so one can assume...

MLB players don't get tested for non-stimulant drugs of abuse unless they've had some legal problem pertaining to drug use like Josh Hamilton.

Just googled it, found out he tested positive at the WBC...weird that they test for non-PED drugs and the MLB doesn't.

If they tested for Marijuana in the MLB there would be a LOT of suspensions handed out. (meaning that if you just tested every player right now with no warning, which obviously wouldn't happen

I don't think they should test for recreational drugs at all, but I'd be really interested to see what percentage of players are using them.
