No track record, no spikes, no sample size of linear performance, etc. We know nothing about him. Good or bad. He is what we see right now. Ethier has a track record, linear success, sample size, a new contract, and no bat speed anymore.
OK, I get that...but you have to start backing me up around here. I know you suspect he's on the shit, I really can't believe anybody doubts it. It's ridiculous the power and speed he has, and he's supposedly 22? You have no trouble blasting guys on this team all the time, even when they do good. Let it outman, speak your mind, I need backup here. Seriously though, I'm not going to be a hypocrite, I accuse a lot of players in baseball all the time because I really believe more players are using than most people think obviously. This latest scandel kind of backs up my beliefs on the matter. Only 2 guys on that list of 20 has popped on a test right(Braun & Gronahl)? I've thought Trout was/is dirty and Puig's making Trout look like a normal "good" player. Trout has 10 HR all year and still hitting almost .300. Puig should pass that in a week. It's still very early and maybe he's just red fucking hot, shit happens. I'm still on the fence and can't make the hardcore case he is dirty yet...but if he keeps this shit up much longer(like Manny did), it's gotta be drugs. Again, it's still too fucking early so i'm kind of just teasing you all with it. Baseball is not that easy, I don't care who it is. He's like Barry Bond's level right now and is making a mockery of baseball already, like Bonds was doing. You throw him a strike and he's going deep, it seems automatic doesn't it? Has he missed anything over the plate yet? 2 players in history with 4HR in their 1st five games. 2 players in history to have 10RBI in 1st five games. I'd be wearing blue blinders to not at least suspect he's using. I know people will think I'm overboard, crazy, etc. and I can understand that. I have my beliefs and I've posted them many times about the P.E.D. shit...and it's usually about other teams. Well, I'm not going to ignore a guy because he's on my team. I'd accuse my own brother if I had to. If Puig was a Giant right now, I'd probably easily have this board agreeing. I know SDF was all over Scutaroid last year, and still should be BTW(.321), I agreed with him. I'm gonna let it breath and give it time, but so far I sure wouldn't try to convince anyone Puig is playing clean, I just couldn't. Shit looks suspicious to me, just like it did with Manny.
I don't give a fuck if Puig is PED's up or not, and if he is then as long as he doesn't get caught then awesome.
Well, that's cool. I'm ok with that I guess. I'm not going to not want to win, and if that's what it takes...so be it. Playing clean like the rest of the team obviously is now isn't gonna work, Ethier proves that daily. It seems plenty of other teams still have plenty of dirty players, and until it whole league looks clean to me, I ain't gonna complain too much. The time YOU probably will care is in a couple years when Puig wants a 10 year deal for $200+. He will get it and then may stop using.
No, I don't think Kershaw's on PED. I don't think ever single stud is on it. I will say he could be...but he's just a big, strong, smart, hard working left handed pitcher that's awesome.
He is, he uses his African Charity not to help people over there but it's his extra cash that he can use to buy PED's.
Saying someone does/did PEDs is a very serious accusation and shouldn't just be thrown around. Yeah it's fun in all, but this isn't a time where half the league has 40+ HRs like 10-15 years ago. Not everyone who is good is on PEDs. That's a pretty shitty mentality to have.
And that's not the mentality I have. Sorry if you think I do, but there is nothing I've said that points to that. Those guys on the 20 player list mostly suck. Most rioders just do it to play in the big leagues, to just hang on. When people play the game at super human levels, experience tells us it's very possible they were using P.E.D.s(ARod, Clemens, Canseco, McGuire, Sosa, Manny, etc.) As far a serious accusations, it's no worse than accusing the team for not caring, giving up after getting a contract, not trying, etc. And those accusations apear 10x each GT. So I really don't care anymore to be honest. If you ask me, those accusations are worse IMO. At least a doping player has goals of success at some point, a quiter doesn't. That could very well be the case...are you trying to bait me bro? That shit ain't gonna work with me, I doubt I'll debate with you about any player. I'll more than likely agree.
Je devrais mettre en place une question de sondage. Seriez-vous surpris si Puig a été capturé à l'aide de drogues améliorant la performance ?
