MLB should stay away from Bonds

KP · April 18th, 2006, 09:34 AM

Should Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig just quit trying to save face, if in fact that is what he's doing, and leave Barry Bonds and the steroid issue alone?

Barry has never failed a drug test. Sure, there's plenty of speculation and even some evidence, but should Bonds be singled out?

Hey Dude! No doubt about it!, Bonds used steriods, but being an X player myself. And like many have said. That Sh*T (or drugs) DOES NOT help you hit the ball! Gives you power that for damn sure, but does not hit the ball for you.
You gotta blame someone tho/ I guess. Does anyone remember playing ball and striking out? I think allot of us looked @ the bat like it was it's fault!hahahahahaha

I see what you are saying but steriods do help your bat speed, because you are stronger and can get the head around quicker. So balls that may be getting past you before won't anymore. You wouldn't be at that level if you didn't have great hand eye co-ordination already.

I agree to some extent, but what it boils down to is this I think.... you have to make contact first in order for those roids to be effective.
That's where that hand-eye cordination come to play, as btownjay stated.
Good one man! Because I dont think those roids help your eye-sight much.

Barry Bonds is a big fat cheater who won't make it in the HOF anytime soon.

Streoids and HGH DO help you hit a baseball. Yes you have to have the natural talent and hand to eye coordination to begin with, and there is no doubt that Bonds is and was great before he started juicing. The juice helps by allowing your muscles to work faster. Your reaction time improves because of the increased muscular development. You also recover from fatigue quicker which allows you to be fresher in that fourth or fifth at bat in a long game. This recovery advantage also helps you as the season progresses. Without the juice there is no way Bonds gets to plate as much as he has. Faster bat speed means you get the head of the bat onto more pitches and turns 380 foot flyballs into 405 foot home runs. Improved recovery time means another 75-100 quality at-bats(meaning the batter is fresh and strong as opposed to mentally and physically tired). If the stuff did't help they wouldn't use it.
