Crazy that they would pull the wool over our eyes like that.

It's time to just let it go. Was Sosa, McGwire, and Bonds cheaters? Yes. Do I care anymore? No. And one reason I don't is because those 3 get murdered by the media and obvious users like David Ortiz get celebrated and made out to be a hero. It is what it is.

They are still using PEDs. And Ortiz was as bad as those and Clemens.

Bonds and Clemens would have been sure hall of famer's but Mcgwire would be lucky to have a career in the majors without steroids.  A lot of his home runs were just pop ups that traveled so far as he was so jacked up on the roids

I think that is ridiculous ... he hit 49 HRs as a rookie ... started taking steroids because he couldn't stay healthy for many years, so he got frustrated and took stuff to help him heal and keep him on the field (with the side benefit of becoming massive and getting help hitting even more HRs than he would have otherwise) ... but to say he would have been lucky to have a career in the majors without steroids is misinformed ...

He was on Steroids as a rookie.

Oh really? Despite him looking super skinny (compared to his 1998 self) in a similar way that Bonds did during the same time period (though McGwire was bigger than Bonds, I just mean in comparison from their 1987 self to their 1998 self), and despite the fact that Andro wasn't introduced into the United States market until 1996 ... I am sure that you are correct ... Mark McGwire probably was using it in 1987 when nobody else even knew about it and it didn't even exist as a commercial product yet ...

Canseco said he was shooting up McGwire with steroids in the 80's. Canseco was definitely using back then.  Steroids existed in 1987.

Who knows?   I have a friend who played against Bonds in college and said there were rumors of him being on steroids then.   Contrary to the idea that he started in his 30’s.

Just a thought. Davis.

 

Nats playing MFY tonight. Anyone else signing up for some NAT-ITUDE?:)

Why would your mind jump to Davis?

I have a list of a half dozen guys off the top of my head I would suspect over an under-performing Davis.

      Trying to figure out which part of this is the most absurd is really difficult.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By jem709 · Posted

      If I am reading correct (and I may not  be) Gil is eligible for ROY but not the PPI pick as he was not on 2 of three top 100 list.  Can someone tell me if that is correct please. it would be nice to get another pick.

      more evidence that fWAR is the better metric, right? cowser isn't below replacement level defensively - so that # should be positive, right?

      The O's made the playoffs.   The players  Elias acquired at the deadline helped make that happen.  Without those players and with all the injuries the O's probably do not make the playoffs.   Eflin has been a key starter.  Dominguez has saved 10 for 11.   Soto has an ERA under 2.00 in September.    Slater is a better version of McKenna  and has helped in the outfield. The O's still have 2 or more years to fix Rogers.   I agree Jimenez did not help but he didn't cost much either.

      Looks like the Detroit Tigers

      I think the hottest ever saw an O's team enter the playoffs was 1974. 28 of 34, 16 of their last 18, including 9 in row to close it out. Won game one of the playoffs, lost the next 3 including 30 straight innings scoreless. what happened yesterday does not gaurentee today

      As I have said before,  someone on the O's thinks they can fix Rogers or they would not have traded for him.   He has lost a couple of miles on this fastball and that could be mechanics. Rogers has 2 options left so they can fix his in ST and the minors.  His service clock is stopped while he is in the minors.  He has two more years of major league service time left. It's a little premature to count Rogers as a bust.   Acquiring his is adding a lefthanded starter to the O's pitching depth.  He will turns 27 in November which is not old.  Heck, Suarez is 34 and added a lot to O's pitching staff this season.

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.
