A little batted ball support for Miggy:

He hits a lot of line drives (his lowest career LD% is 18.9%, which is still very good), and more ground balls than fly balls. But his HR/FB rate has never been higher than 27%, which is a perfectly reasonable ratio in itself. Mostly he sits around 20-24%. That doesn't suggest "enhanced" power.

Pretty sure Miggy hasn't been suspended because of testing positive, but I know a NCAA football team that is on probation for 3 years. Can't believe anyone would support a program like that.

I think it is humorous to hear people say Miggy is juicing. It isn't as if he is putting up mind blowing homerun numbers. He has hit over 40 in a year exactly ONCE in 10 years in the MLB.

What makes Cabrera great is just as much his intellect at the plate, as it is his physical skills. He shrinks the zone for pitchers because he rarely chases bad pitches. His pitch recognition is unreal. Couple that with the fact he strikes out very little for a player with his type of power and has no problem hitting the ball to any part of the ballpark and you have the best hitter in baseball.

It really is sad when any time a player does something extraordinary anymore in baseball -- steroids is automatically associated with his name.

Like I said. Innocent until proven guilty. And, again, as this is the basis of this countrys legal system, I am left to wonder why so many people think and act the opposite, and then think that the rest of us are dumb for acting and feeling the way we do.

Oklahoma not currently under probation and I'm not the one on my moral high horse

you do realize Oklahoma was on probation for most of the 90s don't you? Or did you just become a fan in 2000?

And not the one taking the moral high horse? What? You're the one talking about Oregons recruiting "sanctions" yet, you completely forget about Oklahoma's past.

That was in 1988 you stupid fuck. What part of "currently under probation" does your pea brain not understand? I find this hilarious coming from someone who talks shit to others about living in the past with their team successes, yet you bring up this from over 20 years ago. Get lost douche.

see my other link from 2005? Oh also, when was it that Oklahoma gave those players jobs at the car dealership? Rhett something?

Oregon got nothing more than a little wrist slap, nothing even major. If you still think we are "dirty" then at least the coach that committed the acts is no longer apart of our program, unlike Oklahoma, who stisll has Stoops who apparently isn't running a clean ship.

The coach isn't part of the program because he saw what was coming and got the fuck out a la Pete Carroll you dumbass.

I never claimed my teams program was pure as the driven snow. Nobody's is. Again, the difference is I'm not the one in here on my high horse accusing players of cheating when there's no evidence to suggest he is. You're the one pulling that shit, with your beloved football program on probation and your former coach hauling ass the other way when he saw it coming.

:stfu:

Oklahoma has always been good tho.......oregon has just gotten good......right when they cheated...

So is lebron james on steroids? Look how big he is.....a big ass head just like bonds.....

Hard to take someone serious who likes miami heat, philly eagles, and oregon......the million dollar question is.....were u a heat fan before they started winning? Why not a sixer fan? Why not a dolphin fan?

Miggy is a hard working ballplayer who has been a star since he was 18. If he juiced, he would hit 75 HR's.

Funny u make a thread about miggy.....what about chris davis? At least miggy has been doing this for 12 years.

Oregon a bunch of cheaters.....has oregon ever won a national championship in football or hoops? They were so irrelevant for so long, they had to come up with an idea to make 30 different ugly uniform combinations to get recognized......at least Oklahoma has won something.........oregon cheated and still didnt win anything..
