I've watched Hanley since he was a kid. I watched him after he left, and when he returned. I'm sorry, I know it angers some, but I can flat out tell when a guy is high. Their eyes & body language gives it away. Frankly, I don't give a s***. I've smoked more than my fair share. I wouldn't give a rat's arss, so long as the guy is producing, & doing his job. I know guys who can produce while using with the best, but many can't handle the two concurrently. It never bothered me until 2015, when HanRam & Pablo became A MAJOR DISTRACTION while on the DL, at the end of that shitfest of a season. Those two were like a couple of stoned teenage boys, yuckING it up in the dugout. I saw quite a bit, and a good deal close up. It was obvious! In fact, there is a very good reason for why both were sent home early! It will likely never come out publicly, but "their behavior" was so out there, that it was more than a distraction. It was an embarrassment! An utter 100% embarrassment! Yes. They were getting high before games. I have zero doubt about it. Can I prove it? Of course not. Would the boys ever narc on them? Nope. Did everybody suspect? Of course they did.

They do not test for weed in mlb routinely. In fact, when they are testing for PED's, they do not do a test for pot.

That's it. I'm renting On The Waterfront now! If you don't, you are likely a Communist ..... or at least a very silly person!

Agreed. Dumb move by Hanley, but I don't see any intent, or proof of conspiracy ... or funding? You make dumb decisions when high . . . . & Hanley gets high quite a bit. I doubt he does the big stuff, but Hanley has always been the happy Rastafarian! Not a bad thing at all. Not good if you're an mlb player.

On the Waterfront, "gruesome?" LOL :0 It was a love story. A dumb brother prodigy gone wrong, when compromised big Bro could have steered him in the right direction? A kid who really would have been a contender, but for having his beloved wise big Bro introduce him to the wrong people. "You was my brother Charlie! You shoulda looked out for me just a little... I coulda been a contender! But now I'm just a bum!" It was also an historic corrupt union busting story! Greatest movie ever made!

It was the best of times, it was the worst. A tail of two cities... Boston going good. Boston BREAKING BAD!

Back when Brando was THE REAL original #1 Brando.

Btw.... The Waterfront is THE SINGLE BEST movie ever made! I pity the youngsters here who never saw so many of those GREAT oldies!

:0 laugh out loud! You read my mind! Had to go to the game thread, but you nailed it!

I love it when a real 1st baseman makes routine plays look routine !

And a very sad ending to a career that started so long ago in Boston. All the talent in the WORLD!!! Hanley was never meant for a big stage! He ....

I was glad we picked him up!!!! Unfortunately, he is hobbled. Noticeable limp in person.

Ok .... if they're married, I apologize! She was very nice! They are great together.

Sorry! My wife just yelled at me.... but he still has the ugliest girlfriend in mlb. We met them in Seattle. So unbelievably nice!!!! Great people! But, she was stunningly ugly for an mlb girlfriend.

That card wave was some FUNNY STUFF!!!!! :0 LOL

There but for the grace of God go I!

Fentynol is the purest opiate out there! Once hooked, you are cooked!

Fentynol is no cocaine ring!

Sorry, but there always has been. Whatever the hell this guy has gotten himself into, is due to poor judgement & a " hang loose... don't worry, be happy" lifestyle. Don't get me wrong! I like Hanley!!!! Lotta guys I grew up with, including myself, liked to "hang loose." Most of us grew up, but occasionally . . . "Embibe," so to speak. A certain few brainiac tech friends of mine can do it 24/7, and produce what few others in the world can behind a computer. Me? I produce little more than gas & bad breath after consuming great quantities of Doritos & spicy foods..... Hanley? You can tell when he's locked in, early on in a given season, and periodically there after.... You can ALWAYS see it in his eyes when he goes FULL Rastafarian. ..... It ain't Fentynol! Hanley doesn't have a Fentynol problem, unless of course he's sponsoring one of his idiot "friends?" For the HanRam, it's all about the Ganja. Always has been, always will be. Warning ! ! ! ! The above post is 100% informed OPINION, based on a good deal of "worldly pursuit...." I could be wrong, but I'm not. p.s. one of my favorite pursuits! LOVE LOVE LOVE the taste & smell of really good stuff. Just can't do it anymore :'(

Ok .... Sorry! I'm outta here. My bad! 1 pitch too early!

LOL :0 EVERY time I take a break, they come back... Everybody is seeing the ball really well tonight.

Thanks Eastwood, but given the lack of evidence the criticisms leveled on me were ok. I get it. There was absolutely nothing to hang my hat on, but I personally still believe that Hanley & Pablo were both LIGHTS OUT for months at the end of 2015. It ain't easy to be asked to go on vacation early in the mlb. Usually you need at least a dead aunt?

I take Hanley back! His "value" has never been higher? Ok .... maybe 2015?

I tried to warn you guys that pot is a gateway drug, buy some just didn't want to listen?
