You walk up to me and try and look sharp

The red round your eyes says that you ain't a child

Get out of my ride on baby, ride on baby, ride on baby

Ride on baby, well I'll clean your face in a touchy magazine

You know we're going but I don't have the places you'll be

No, okay, I got a couple things follow-ups to things we talked about

Listener named Scott emailed us to point out that we didn't mention the suspension

that Chris Davis got at the end of 2014 for Adderall

Scott says I'm no PED scold if it were up to me these guys would be shooting up in the index circle

But given the rules as they are don't you have to be concerned about the true talent level of a guy who got busted for using

And I did mean to bring this up and just got sidetracked by all the other factors surrounding the Davis deal

But after thinking about it I'm not sure that it really influences my outlook for him at all

He had a therapeutic use exemption prior to 2014 and didn't have one in 2014

And evidently didn't know it or didn't pay attention to it or ignored it and was suspended for 25 games

Which means that he actually violated the policy twice

That would maybe make you more pessimistic about his future except that for one thing that was his bad year

And he was continuing to use it so if his ADHD or whatever it was was part of the problem that year
