What, so Cola was desperately running out the clock for the last two months? That's pretty s***** from every angle. Poor dude probably knew the whole time that the axe was coming, and not in a way some guys fear a demotion to the minors. Fringe guy just trying to stay in the game off a randomly amazing year, and before the next season a legit possibility that it's all suddenly over. Even if he knowingly used, it's pretty rough. If Pillar is not just covering for his buddy's reputation and Cola is actually the victim of a technicality then this is even rougher. Six months ago he was hitting in between Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki in a fevered playoff run and now he could be finished.
Still won't forget that walk-off single against the Astros last year in June. The luckiest bit of s*** I've ever seen, but still awesome.
