Barry Bonds Used Steriods


Recommended Posts

Na he's obviously a great hitter...Steroids can't inmprove hand-eye-coordination, which it takes alot of to hit a 90mph pitch, but alot of those homers he and McGuire hit would have stayed in the park. There is a huge difference in the amount of homer he hit in the beginning of his career compared to recent seasons.

But to answer your question it makes him a fraud...IMHO

yea thats true, but recent seasons have just been a huge turn around compared to when he was younger. I mean he's hit like 50 homers every season for the past 5 years maybe? I'm not sure if that is accurate or not, but I'm willing to bet it's close.

this is really old news.. most people knew about this testimony last year.. he said he didn't know they were steriods..

quite sad that he didnt know really, I feel sorry for him

If you guys actually believe that he "didn't know" he was taking steroids then I have a beautiful piece of land in the everglades to sell you :)

How do you not notice that rapid gain in weight, strength, and an increase of two sizes in your baseball cap...I mean your head isn't supposed to grow any when your 35 years old :)

All I can say about that is hes either that good or hes the only one to take advantage of steriods fully haha and no one else has ever been able to.

i'm not completely stupid... i know he knew, but he can say he didn't know until the cows come home and he'll be alright..

:D

Hehe...no there isn't. He's NEVER hit very long home runs. Nothing like Mcguire.

Go check out his hr totals for the past 10 years, THEN come back and talk. Here's a hint....your not close.

Heres a hint...Look at the numbers increase not only in HR but in slugging...and he was hovering around 50 homers since 2000. BTW what does hitting long homers have to do with anything?

Your right , but again thats not something I would say is so amazing that he coulnt do , man I think the stuff besides the home runs , like batting avg , walks , make you say whoa... now that I think of it mabye the walks are the reason he doesnt average almost 60 a year.

He hit 46 in 1993 and has been pretty consistant since then.

yup...like i said he's definately a great ball player...but his first 5 years he hit 16,25,24,19, and 33 homers...then the last five years he hits 49, 73,46,45, and 45 homers, at that age you don't just start slamming homers left and right. But I think your definately right though.

You're the one who brought up the long home runs, so I responded

His HR total hasn't increased. He's been steady for the past 10+ years. Also, his slugging percentage is up because his batting average is way up. Walks don't count in slugging percentage, so he's getting many more singles and doubles than ever before. His K/at bat is QUITE a bit lower than when he was younger.

at that age you don't just start slamming homers left and right. But I think your definately right though.

Why not? We've seen what Randy Johnson and Clemens can do at that age. We've seen what Jerry Rice can do at that age.

On top of that, he testified using, what he didn't know was steroids, only in 2003. Show me how those steroids enhanced his season any. Show me the terrible season he had when he came off the roids, like Giambi had. Despite the steroid talk, the buy is clearly a great player, and it seems the roids didn't help him at all.

    • One of the reasons Windows is in use is because of compatibility with hardware and software, but it isn't perfect and there are gaps. This software can help maintain compatibility with older hardware and software the way DOSBox helps us now.
    • This can help with compatibility the way DOSBox helps us now. There are a lot of old drivers, software, and hardware that don't work in current Windows. This could also help older hardware still be relevant because you can install it directly on devices where current Windows versions are no longer supported.
    • Nexus Mods owner steps down citing toll on personal wellbeing by Usama Jawad If you've ever been involved in the gaming landscape, there is a good chance that you have heard of Nexus Mods. It's one of the largest websites offering game modifications online with millions of registered members. The site hosts mods for numerous popular titles including The Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Fallout, among others. Now, the creator of the site has announced that ownership of Nexus Mods is changing hands, 24 years after its inception. In a blog post, the site's creator, Robin Scott - also known as "Dark0ne" in the community -, has announced that he is stepping down from managing the site on a daily basis and is actually handing over Nexus Mods to a new owner. Interestingly, this owner has not been named yet, but it seems like the community will be seeing a lot more of Foledinho (Victor) and Rapsak (Marinus) in daily operations. Scott says that ever since starting the site back in 2001, his adult life has been pretty much consumed by running Nexus Mods and managing its "major social network". This has almost been an on-call position, which has taken a toll on his personal wellbeing and health due to the accompanying stress and anxiety. As such, Scott has decided to step down from his executive role to avoid further burnout. Although Scott has not revealed the identity of the new owners, he says that his exit is purely for personal reasons and not some corporate backdoor deal. The site's creator will still be around in the forums and Mod Author Discord, providing direction when needed without taking responsibility. Scott's announcement has been mostly met with praise and thanks from the community. Though, as may be expected from a rather diverse and often polarized audience, the discussion did recently veer off-course and has now been locked from further engagement by community mods.
