you guys realize that something as simple as strep throat can make you dizzy for a few days.

Of course they help you throw harder. They build muscle mass and allow you to work out with greater frequency by increasing your recovery time dramatically.
Did you read what I said. Throwing is primarily controlled by ligaments and tendons. Some SMALL muscle groups. The big muscle groups that benefit from steroids are relaxed when throwing. Muscles can only do 2 things relax and contract.
This is why most pitching injuries are the UCL (ulnar colateral ligament) and bicep tendon (which is often associated with torn labrum). Extremely rare to have a bicep or tricep tear in a pitcher. If anything, steroids are detrimental to connective tissue like ligaments and tendons. Pitchers use ped's to recover quicker from outings.
If there is somewhere on youtube a video about mike marshall speaking about the screwball he taught and kinesiology behind it, i'd suggest watching it. He developed a weird looking way of throwing that actually puts the strain on the tricep and back muscles witch can take far more strain than the conventional way to pitch.

I got no issues if Johnny wanted to pop a few flinstone vitamins to get his body refreshed at his old age; I was just saying it feels more possible than other things brought up by GL.
You guys realize that "flintstone" vitamins generally don't help pitchers throw harder? they help pitchers recover faster from their previous starts.
Hitters now, increase power.
The strain of throwing hard is primarily placed on tendons, ligaments, and smaller muscles which is why arm injuries are prevalent. The bicep muscle is mostly relaxed (not being flexed) during a throw.

I used to shout "show me the hands Juan!" every time he came up to bat in a big situation because of the way he would raise his hands above his head when he knew he got a hold of one.

Because they made the playoffs while taking 2 months off for R&R last year, they obviously will be able to do so again. No one will challenge them for the division. Ask this poster:
Because being healthy and taking 2 months of are the same things? And I never said no one would challenge us for the division or thatwe would even win the division.

This sounds like the narrative last season and we all saw how that went.
so last year's result is indicative of every years result?

We can look at the AL Central standings and see that the Sox are only 3 GB of Minnesota and think this team is still better than 50/50 to win the AL Central.
Doesn't matter. Here are the real standings the Sox should care about:
Yankees +3.5
Astros ---
Sox -5.5
Sox are 5.5 games out of the 2nd seed. That's where they need to get to have a realistic chance of advancing even as far as the ALCS. Winning the division and getting the 3rd seed lands you in the Wild Card round against TOR, TB or LA, and if you survive that you get a DS rematch with Houston, again without home field advantage. It's a death sentence.
Cease/Giolito/Kopech/Lynn/Cueto might end up as the best rotation in the AL. Kelly and Graveman might get back on track and make the bullpen lethal. But if the offense doesn't get it together and get it together quickly, the chance to catch the Astros could be gone by the end of June.
The Sox have four players with a WRC+ over 100, and one of those is Mendick, and I wouldn't bother trading prospects for rentals if catching Houston isn't realistic.
No it isn't. Harder road to be sure, wild card teams have won the world series. I just want us to be healthey and whole going in to the playoffs.

We don’t have the ammo to trade for a stud.
Sure we do, but probably not willing to trade those guys.

I don't think sign free agents can be traded right away.

Cueto feels like Mat Latos all over again.
Well that would be ok as latos won enough games the first month and half that would an adequate be a bridge until Lynn's return.

I'd like to see this trade:
Keuchel + 10 Mil. , Burger, Adolfo, Collins, Cespedes, ad Romy Gonzalez for
Manea, Montas, and Murphy.

Am I misremembering Vaughn last year having a hip injury?
Back Issues last year.

I think are most pressing need is still trading for Castillo, Montas, or Manea. Picking up a back-up catcher would be nice too. Unless we trade Vaughn and prospects for Ketel Marte, I think we are rolling with what we got at least until the trade deadline, which might be a good idea. A Rf, better than conforto may emerge from the the also-rans. Kimbrel will get traded.

He has to throw an awful lot of innings before that even becomes a consideration. There is no chance they’ll allow the option to vest. He’ll be released if need be.
If there is not a better option to start he will not be released while we are contending...and we will be.

Why not Keuchel as our extra starter? I know he was BAD last year...but he was top five CYA the year before that. He is a great fielding, crafty lefty. Right now we have four power arm righty starters...having Keuchel in the middle to screw up teams? I mean he's on the roster and costs no prospects. I know he is innings limited but with Lopez and Crochett and Keuchel it would seem like you could give everyone a bit of time off. If Keuchel is terrible by the trade deadline...well then hopefully some of the very young prospects will be getting some buzz and we can trade for a stud starter for the playoffs.
We don't want keuchel's option for next year to automatically vest for one reason.

It's not just having more pitchers on their staff. It's that so many of them would be buried in the bullpen, and none can be sent down to Charlotte to stretch out.
Remember how Kopech spent July and August throwing an inning every 3 or 4 days? And threw basically 10 innings in each month, so he was totally not stretched out every time there was a double header? So despite a guy who should have been a good guy to start a double header game and throw a couple innings being on the roster, they still had to turn to Lambert? That's basically the setup they have right now. Throw in an extra long man, and the end result is going to be a lot of guys who either throw 1 inning outings and aren't stretched out, or throw 2-3 innings once a week.
we are going to need a minimum of 6 sp this year as Kopech's innings will be limited and he'll probably wind up in the pen during post season. I still expect Keuchel to be tradedin apackage like the yanks did with Sanchez or the reds did with suarez. Lopez would be a swing man. But we still need 1 more reliable starter at least.
How about Keuchel + 10 mil., cespedes, burger, Colins, and Thompson to the reds for Castillo + maybe a catcher.or RP

Ortiz got in, first ballot no less, but all the other steroid cheats are shut out. Why is he different?
EDIT: Buehrle down below 6%. Next year might be his last.
I've been listening to the pundits on MLB network and they think that Mark Buehrle will eventually get in the hall of fame because of the statistical correction in how present day pitchers will be viewed. For example, no one is likely to ever win 300 games again. 200 wins may be considered the wins bench mark.

i once did a similar thing with perfect hindsight starting with the first draft. IIRC that got us Tom Seaver, Johnny Bench, Bobby Grich and others. We quickly had a dynasty.

levineline is a credible source of information....maybe - if it involves the Cubs. He knows/cares dick about the white sox. He was the douche that said sox fans trashed wrigley causing a delay after A. J. hit a game winning hr in the 9th when we were down to our last strike in 06. All those upset, evil sox fans.

I am almost certain it was 3 stolen bases, and I'm not sure this is the game to which I'm referring. if it is, I suspect the discrepancy might be be due to an official score erroneously ruling a passed ball/wild pitch when not noticing Karko was running on the play or maybe a defensive indifference that was inappropriate.
Besides, it takes a big man to admit when he is wrong and I am not a big man - Erwin Flecther "Fletch"
