Effect of ABS in baseball

Im personally tired of all the talk. If someone has a good year (in this case Jose Bautista for Toronto) or a break out year, theyre automatically on steroids. I do not think that steroids are going to help a guy that had 16 home runs last year, hit 52+ this year. I personally think that so much goes into making steroids effective with the diet, the training, and the recovery that an everyday player is not going to benefit that much from using. Would they help some dude coming off the bench twice a week to hit a 500 ft home run? Maybe? But what do I know
 
Well, what about the kid throwing 105 mph? What are they going to say he's on?
 
for the Reds? That dude is NASTY!! I remember in spring training he had no control.. Imagine being a batter knowing that the dude that throws 105 doesnt really know where its going
 
he is pitching in relief right now down the stretch run, i saw on espn this morning how he blew away Adrian Gonzalez with a 102, 103, and 104mph fastballs in concession.. Billy wagner was the last lefty I remember tapping 100 on the gun. Randy Johnson was in the upper 90's but never 104!
 
okay we're all in agreement that abs is horrible for baseball, now what about aas? do they give a player that big of an advantage? will it make someone hit 50 home runs that previously only hit 16? will it make someone who had a low 90's fastball throw 102mph?

let them juice.....fuck the purity of the game.....we want no hitters and homeruns
 
I agree. If we're going to suspect every player who hits 40+ home runs and every pitcher who throws 100+ on the gun of doing steroids, let them friggin do it. I personally dont care if my whole team is on steroids as long as they win. Unfortunately im a Mets fan :(
 
Here is the SAD part for guy like Bautista who went from 16 to 50 homers in a year or something close to that, people about 20 years from now will looks back at this era in time and clump all the guys together in the same catagory. bautiststa no doubtedly 20 years from now will have people look back at his numbers and know he went from 16 to 50 during the steroid era and AUTOMATICLY say he MUST have been one of the guys that was juicing. Its sad but true
 
The amazing thing to me about Bautista's season is the separation between him and the rest of the league. Pujols is the only other player with 40 home runs and Bautista is already up to 52. He has just run away with the home run crown this season.
 
My thoughts on steroids in baseball is that aas doesn't give you anymore capability to actually hit a ball or throw a pitch for a strike. That's a given talent, so with that said, these guys are all professionals and they have what it takes to do MOST of the things they're doing now. I don't think it's right that baseball is made out to be such a big player in the aas game when they don't test for it in the NBA and you can't honestly tell me that those guys, running up and down a court for 80+ games a year aren't using them to recover and stay in top performance night in and night out. I seriously doubt half of the NBA stars are healthy all year long without even minor joint pain, low test for the older guys depleting themselves from exhaustion and all the other shit that most people (minus marathon runners) would suffer from that much running and jumping
 
I just think if you're going to test for it in one professional sport, do it in EVERY professional sport, things includes bodybuilding, hockey, basketball, volleyball, all of it. I don't like how you only hear about it in the NFL and MLB
