Goodness know he wasn't working on his swing or going to Fanfest.

The point I've been trying to make is that if he put on 25 pounds all of it isn't going to be muscle. If you want to suggest that he put on 25 pounds and his body fat stayed consistent I'm fine with that. It is more accurate to just say he gained 25 pounds, which is what he appears to be doing.

More than the NBA G league ---> NBA? I don't think so.

Didn't he get injured early on and tried to play with it?

Maybe (I have my doubts someone in their 30's could do it), but you are going to put on more than 25 total pounds in doing so.

Landis did, the current version does not.

So you are suggesting his body fat percentage is down from last year?

I'm still lost. Where was it said that he put on 25 pounds of muscle? The MASN quote from the beginning of this thread says:

That would be a valid reason to send him down for a few weeks.

The Indians used a center field camera in the early 60's.

Of course it is questionable how much an advantage steroids/HGH/Speed gave guys as well. Looking at the home/road numbers it does look like folks are overstating the impact.

I'll confirm that no male in my basic put on significant muscle. I'd say on average weight went down a couple of pounds for the males. We did have some female soldiers go from barely being able to do a push up to a fair amount of muscle but they were starting from a much different place. I'll not say 25 pounds is impossible for a trained athlete who has slimmed down and has a solid frame to work with. But his body fat is going to be up and he'll probably sweat out some of the extra water weight pretty quickly into the season.

Bone up on? Like memorize lyrics?

The content is the same if it is put in Orioles Talk or the proper place.

Man I hate phrases like that. So putting Tejada into the lineup with a broken wrist just to extend his streak was doing things the right way?

Depends on if they drug test.

I'm planning on editing this post with the correct roster.

No link to her Instagram page? Someone is slacking.

If you can't pull the trigger on center-center with two strikes that extra millisecond isn't going to help.

A lighter bat isn't going to help when he takes a center-center strike three.

I buy the 25 pounds, but I'm betting that includes water weight and isn't all lean muscle mass.

Sure, but I don't think he's changed gravitational fields.

You lost me. How did he already have the mass if he gained 25 pounds?

If you don't take the bat off your shoulder it doesn't matter if it's lighter.
