don't misunderstand , I don't believe testing has caught up or ever will. I'm just pointing out that at least these days they know enough to look for the drugs that are masking the real drugs. Wasn't too long ago they never even considered that. It would be interesting to see how many athletes...
personally I don't think it's a bad as before. The players who get caught are mostly Latinos who can buy this stuff over the counter at home. Testing is much better than before in that they do have some knowledge of what these guys are using to cover up the drugs that are helping them. Before...
I think someone mentioned earlier they're worried about the reaction from the 7 fans they have left. This is how they do things over there. The signed that idiot Cespedes when no one else wanted him bcuz of fans and the NY media. Nuts. They make it as difficult as possible to root for them.
they lose with them, they can lose without them. To me this is simple, move both of them now while their value is as high as its gonna get. There aren't many teams out there with enough prospects to make these deals but there's enough to help the Mets for a long time ...... like until they wear...
you obviously weren't around in Kaat's day. I was and can tell you with certainty they threw as hard 30 yrs ago as they do today. I played pro ball in the early 80's and can tell you I NEVER faced a guy who threw under 90 not once. Trying to claim these guys can be "trained" to throw 95 is...
that's ridiculous. So today these candy asses are "conditioned" to throw 175 inn ? Athletes in Kaat's day weren't even close to the condition of these guys today. For crissakes in the off season those guys used to sell fuckin cars and insurance! All this bullshit these clowns have available...
LOL I think I remember something like that. He was a big SOB for sure. Today all these weight lifters and workout freaks can't pitch 150 inn. A fat fuck like Lolich and a lot of others could throw all day long
speaking of almost HoF'er. If Kaat and Lolich were pitching today they would be considered 1st ballot locks. The standards are so low today people wet their pants when a guy wins 12 games and pitches into the 6th a couple times. It's a joke
I think they are. If they aren't then they should be shopping him right? I've never heard/read of Harper saying anything about staying there or moving west etc. I think he's a typical Boras player in that its about money and nothing else
Stanton is another prime example of a guy they would go after. Maybe they stayed away so they could go after Harper. I can see the Dodgers negotiating against themselves while acting as though everyone is after him. I'm not sure what other teams would really make a play for him. Could he handle...
If I'm gonna guess then I'm going with the Dodgers. They have a habit of throwing stupid money at players these days and Harper is exactly the kind of guy they would sign. It would probably be another one of those deals where they're competing against themselves bcuz no one else is gonna throw...
the Yanks will make no attempt to get him and they shouldn't. They have no room. no need and no interest. BTW after this game ends in a few minutes Bryce will be enjoying a meal with Mario Mendoza. I still LMAO about people comparing this clown to Mike Trout at one time. Harper isn't good enough...
