The burden of proof is on you, as you are trying to debunk a myth as you say, which has not been provided. Take high school physics over again. Tell me how faster bat speed will not make a ball go further. f=ma buddy. You provide illegitimate and/or false evidence and expect me to provide more...

That debunks NOTHING. Besides the fact that the story is most likely inaccurate, there is a difference between a couple guys throwing that fast and the league standard to be throwing that fast. If you think the average fast ball has not increased in speed over the years, you're crazy. The...

If you read what I said, it makes perfect sense. Because of steroids making these guys bigger, stronger, and much faster, they are more susceptible to injury, plain and simple.

Who is more likely to get hurt: the 40 year old doing his daily jog or an elite sprinter running under 10 seconds? Baseball players now are much more athletic than the ones of the past could ever dream of being (many of whom were not in any way athletic outside of baseball skills). The higher...

If both get better from steroids (highly simplified), then the changes in numbers would be less significant. Of course, looking at the fact that pitchers are throwing faster than ever is fairly good evidence that something has changed. Steroids are also not just a 90's phenomenon as you are...

That did not prove any of your points. Let's see, a 300+lb bodybuilder (contest shape) vs a baseball player at 240lbs MAX--not really comparable. Your point on flexibility is moot as we can see from pro bodybuilders with their flexibility and range of motion that is much better than the...

Stamina and baseball in the same sentence? Good point though about the recovery and injury rehabilitation.

Giving blood will mess up your training for well over a month anyway. If you have any athletic goals, forget about them in the short term if you're going to give blood.

How can you really say that? If the pitchers use steroids for example (or the stadiums get bigger or whatever), would that not have an effect on the batters? If you say something about fast-twitch muscle fibers again I might choke. AAS cannot increase the number of muscle cells you have in the...

Most massage places will ignore the glutes unless you specifically ask and state why. The same goes for the abdominals and sometimes the adductors. ART is another story.

Foam Rollers and actual ART therapy or even massage cannot be compared. Yes, foam rollers are great, but not even comparable to ART or massage from any decent therapist. I'd say 1 hour of ART is probably worth 10 hours on that foam roller, maybe longer.
