Summary

On today’s No Bunts, Tas discusses Fernando Tatis Jr.’s 80-game suspension with The Athletic’s Dennis Lin — Will a portion of Tatis’ contract be voided? Is 80 games the standard for this type of violation? Was there any truth to the ringworm excuse? Then, Baltimore Orioles superfan Brady comes on to tell Tas why his “Top 5 Teams To Root For In 2022” list was all wrong. All that, plus salivating over Vaughn Grissom and the Atlanta Braves, Juan Soto’s reception in Washington, and a discussion about which sport has the better method for requesting a video review — baseball or basketball? 🗞 Subscribe to The Athletic: http://www.theathletic.com/nodunks 🅰️ Fernando Tatis suspension story: https://tinyurl.com/TatisSuspension 🅰️ Tatis meets Damian Lillard: https://tinyurl.com/TatisDame 👕 Cop some No Bunts merch: https://www.nodunks.com 📈 Subscribe to No Dunks on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/NoDunksInc 🏎 Subscribe to No Brakes | F1 on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3itPDTG

0:00.0	Matter up!
0:12.5	Welcome to No Bunce, the show for the casual baseball fan here on the Athletic Network.
0:18.6	I'm Tass Malice with me, making the magic happen. It's JD. Hello.
0:23.6	Hello, Jay. Happy birthday, Tassie. Oh, forgot about that. Thanks, J.D. I appreciate that. Very much appreciated. We are here on a Monday because I want to do a show on my birthday. Now, we're here because even though we usually do a show later on in the week about baseball,
0:39.2	I couldn't wait with what happened this weekend in MLB.
0:43.5	Fernando Tatis Jr. suspended for 80 games because he took an anabolic steroid.
0:50.4	We'll get to that.

1:29.7	Initially, he said he took it to treat ringworm, a skin infection.
1:34.1	We've had a few days since he initially said that.
1:37.6	Can we now debunk that as complete BS?
1:42.5	Is that where we are now, Dennis?
1:47.6	Well, that is the, I think, prevailing reaction across baseball, across sports to the statement he put out so far now. We haven't heard
1:53.4	directly in public from Fernando himself. There's no clear indication of when exactly he's
2:00.0	going to talk and expound upon maybe his explanation.
