Am I the only one

Who feels 100% positive that Big Papi is still on PEDs? Why does the media give this guy a pass?

Who are the other players that you think are on something?
Jake Arrietas sudden late-career brilliance is certainly interesting
Carlos Beltran is still hitting well.
Daniel Murphy spent several seasons being mediocre and seems to have "found" it over the last 1.5 seasons.

He says he didn't do it. Case closed.

They have to keep the stars healthy to fill the stands.

Ortiz is a given. It was insulting to me as a Yankee hater that they tried to compare his ASG farewell to Mariano Rivera's. The guy is an overjuiced meatheaded bully.

You misspelled Bartolo Colon.

Is Ortiz having his best season ever? Doesn't typically happen after you turn 40.

Eta: Looked at his stats. On pace for a career year in some, including batting average. It would be insane to retire with these numbers. Like someone averaging 25, 5, and 5 in the NBA or a QB hanging it up after throwing 50 TDs.

 

[missouridawg]

Totally agree with Colon.

Ortiz is the ped poster child for the post steroid era.

Am I the only one that doesnt really care about PEDs?

I personally have not and will never use steroids. I think its great to take the stance against them because of potential health issues and trying to deter children but MLB has never really opposed them. Sure, they oppose them now but they still dont oppose them really in the minor leagues. Those guys juice like crazy to make it to the show and really are never policed that much.

I look at MLB's PED stance the same way I see the police stance on DUI's. If police/cities really wanted you to not get a DUI they'd be standing at the exit of bars offering breathalyzers and alternative means of transportation.

MLB doesnt really care about PED's, they'd just prefer no one get caught.
