- 38 minor leagers caught on the juice

 

Curt Schilling and other players claiming this wasn't a huge problem mislead the Congress? MLB looking better.

 

- 100+ runs scored today. That's an average of 10+ per game.

 

Is this a case of pitcher's struggling due to no longer being able to be on the juice? I don't know, but it is interesting.

A lot of the pitchers are just not throwing as hard. I think you'll see a lot of guys that were throwing 93-96 start to throw around 88-91. I am also looking for non-roids guys that were hitting 25-35 homeruns to start hitting 35-45 homeruns because now these roids pitchers can't throw the fastball by them anymore.

I dont think Roids is the biggest problem.

 

Pitching is going downhill by the month nowadays.

The Orioles shut out the A's today. :whistle

Perhaps the fact Cincy, White Sox, Philly, Baltimore and Colorado's ballparks are among the most hitter friendly in the majors (probably all among the top 8. Fenway. Arizona? Maybe Wrigley in the summer?) and each hosted an opener had somethign to do with it.

Plus a lot of these guys have been pitching in Florida all spring and now are moving to places like Colorado and Cincy (two games inparticular where the all the pitchers at least got off to god aweful starts).

Opening Day isn't a great barometer of how the season is going to be.

 

Also, alot of pitchers will have a decrease in velocity like the hitters would have their own effects from getting off steroids. We might not see too much of a difference in numbers as both sides of the ball come clean.

Juanky,

I agree there.

 

The biggest indicator for me would be if we see a decrease in velocity(long term) from pitchers in general.
