But he's not making that distinction. He's saying that if you pitch inside legitimately then you're going to get your best hitter plunked.

The point is baseball players, like all athletes, have pushed the rules forever. Fuck this "equal footing" argument, fuck this "baseball history!" argument, its all just noise to distract dopes like you that baseball cares about "cleaning up the sport". Much like the war on drugs, its less about making the world a…

Because there is no "pure" baseball. There's baseball before and after you knew players have taken any and all substances, cheated in every way imaginable, but just because you were ignorant of those facts doesn't change that they happened.

Equating PED use to racism proves what a fraud you are.

What's adorable is the mock outrage you and your mindless ilk feign when it comes to PEDs without (a) having even the most basic concept of how they assist baseball players, and (b) conveniently ignoring substances that were illegal and therefore banned in baseballs past.

The only silly thing here is the feigned outrage at the whole PED issue.

Cheaters? They didn't cheat. No more than players who got Lasik.No more than localized pain killers. No more than any other substance that gets injured players back on the field.

In saying that an entire team taking PEDs would turn them into championship winners is saying that average players become "winners" on PEDs.

No. But the casual fan, the ones who make baseball profitable do.

Roger Maris waves hello agaib.

1961 Roger Maris waves back.

Right because one year aberrations with or without PEDs are proof.

Its not trolling to call someone out on their obvious ignorance.

God I love all the righteous indignation my post brought out. You folks obviously don't realize PEDs don't turn average guys into super stars.

That's not how PEDs work. They don't turn average players into superstars. Try again, straw man.

Fringe players aren't going to keep their jobs from PEDs. You realize this, don't you?

Ruth cheated by only having to hit against white guys.

No you don't. Seriously this "issue" is just another manufactured bullshit exercise for ownership to try to screw over players and their salaries.

Does anyone under the age of 50 give a shit about PED use in MLB? The hand wringing always seems to come from old folks who can't fathom that players have been cheating forever.

I can't be alone in (a) wondering why a players salary I common knowledge (when no other industry does so), or (b) really not giving a shit how much they make, can I?
