Please. Don't believe this.

I thought I educated all of you about this already.

Still would love to read your research papers in their entirety on the subject.

my whole thing is, if PED's didn't do anything, why did 90% of the league use them?

I mean they obviously make you stronger, but it doesn't give you magical baseball skills.

A bad hitter is going to be a bad hitter regardless what he injects into his body.

Edit: I didn't answer your question :lol:

It was just so common at the time. Players will do anything they feel will help their game whether it's roids or whatever they eat for a pregame meal :lol:

of course, but it still helped certain guys have better careers than they likely would've had.

i dont buy the whole ped's do nothing when everyone was using them because obviously, they were doing something.
 
Golden era for pitching + unprecedented amount of defensive shift = more no hitters.


steroids are so overrated.

They give you more of a chance to be a better player. Obviously the bigger, stronger, faster, and more explosive you are, the better ball player you can be.

The main point in my eyes is, you aren't going to be good to without the baseball skills. There's a reason why there was only one Barry Bonds. Think about all minor leaguers who have taken roids and have never sniffed the show :lol:

agree with everything.

i can't help but think of luis gonzalez without considering ped's. always a good doubles hitter, but out of nowhere in 01, he hits 26 more home runs than he ever did in a single season.
 
Yanks look like ****, we gonna lose tonight to the worst team in baseball. I can see us even getting swept. ****
