MLB Talk

Thats what having a big name before their breakdown does. Money, money, money.

A-rod should hit 800+. Future HOFers include Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey, Jr.

an interesting point i never really hear brought up concerns PITCHERS on roids. surely not only HITTERS use them. i wonder what impact they would have on a pitcher? could they make him throw harder? i'd think not, but it's really hard to pin down exactly what it is that makes a pitcher able to throw 95mph. leg strength, clearly, but then you get guys like rivera and pedro who are very small. they would help recovery time, but i'm not sure what else.

if pitchers are doing roids, would it level the playing field? if roid hitters are hitting off roided up pitchers, are the hitters really cheating? 😕

They have claimed that "Performing enhancing drugs are illegal in the MLB" so in that case yes, and there has been like 0 pitchers caught on steroids, notice I said caught.

pitchers have been caught just not anyone with any name recognition.

but would roids help make a mediocre pitcher good, or a good pitcher great?

It would make them better, more strength.

Anyone see Andrew Miller pitch last night agianst the Braves?

He went like 6 and gave up no runs, only one day and one year after pitching in the CWS

miller will be a stud. i hope. with him and verlander and bonderman, the tigers are set to be this decade's braves.

except the tigers are scoring 5+ runs/game. 😄

at the moment (middle releif aside) they gotta be the AL favourite to get to the series, especially given how boston as played in recent weeks. (the A's are quietly putting their sh!t in order as well though . . .)

No, Red Sox take it.

😂

the sox are lucky everyone else in their division sucks. at the moment, there is no doubt the tigers with miller, rogers (returned) verlander and bonderman are the favourite in the AL. they have better pitching and are scoring a hell of a lot more runs than the sox.

Yet we still have the most wins. huh thats weird. Beckett, Dice-K, Curt, Tavarez, Johnathon P., I'd rather have the sox.

Yeah, but Rice K, oh I mean Dice K better win a ton of games and get the sox into the World Series.

consider the divisions -- of course you'll have more wins. it's the sox and a group of chumps. i have no doubt the sox will end UP with more wins at the end of the year (unless they choke the division away which seems ALMOST impossible . . .), but win total is meaningless once the playoffs start.

tigers are beating the sox in era and avg. better hitting, better pitching, playing against better teams more consistently.

be a fan, but be objective. or not, whatever. 🙂

There is never favorites for the World Series in June. face-plain

Angels are the best team in baseball....

But when it is all said and done the Yankees will win the wild card and ultimately win the world series. 🙂

Thats highly debatable. I really don't think the Red Sox will blow their lead. Red Sox should get their and possibly win it all.

Red Sox will win it all, yankees don't have the pitching to go deep, the sox can call up young guys if they need them.
