PED's do help with hitting. Instead of fly balls getting caught at the warning track they would go over the fence. If this happens fifteen times in a season that is a hugh difference. Instead of thirty five home runs it's fifty home runs. It also gives you fifteen extra hits which you wouldn't have had. That could mean the difference from being a 280 hitter or a 300 hitter.

[@vinceramirez6963]

Not only that, he said it can’t make you hit certain styles of pitching, fats balls, curve balls etc. this is true, but if I’m playing at the MLB level, that means I’m proficient enough to hit those types of throws and if I’m using PED and I make contact more often than not, I’m going to be stronger which in turn makes me hit harder and farther. So he’s talking out of his ass. It makes a difference. I wouldn’t be surprised if he took PED. The way he’s defending his stance makes me think he did

I don’t agree with Salley on the batting thing. You can be a good hitter yeah, but ped’s can help your strength which increase swing speed no?so your swing is better. It does help you hit a curveball, and every other pitch..

[@arthurbb8937]

I agree to a point. PED will make you hit a ball further so Salley is wrong that it does not help you. Hitting a nasty curve or slider has nothing to do with bat speed. It's being able to identify the pitch as a fastball, curve or slider in a split second then determine it's location. That's cognitive vision and hand eye coordination. PED doesn't help with that. It definitely turns a doubles hitter into a HR hitter.

Now, you have elite athleticism, elite hand-eye coordination and you inject steroids into someone with all those professional level skill sets.... the same dude who could ALREADY hit a curveball or slider, now, instead of a warning track flyout or a double off the wall are now turning into homeruns and traveling about 50 feet further. I've always thought the people who use the "steroids don't make you hit the ball better or improve your hand-eye coordination" were non-athletes who don't know what they're talking about that never played. You're giving a guy who can ALREADY hit a major league fastball, curve or slider with professional elite hand-eye coordination a drug that makes the ball go 50 feet further when he DOES hit the ball with the professional level skill set he already has from 2 decades of developing his game to that point.

Highly unlikely Kobe was on it. He was over there doing the blood scenarios as Salley mentioned. If you looked at Kobe's body throughout his career, he never really was bulky and was quite injury prone throughout his career, whereas a player such as LeBron especially in Miami his body was unhuman with reports of how much weight gain/loss and how quick it happened. Rich Paul and LeBron were even linked to A-Rod's guy, along with Jameer Nelson and others during the time A-Rod got caught; plus the running joke of Bron's hairline is an indicator. The league can't afford to have a player of Bron's magnitude go out for that, as he even took a two week break during the regular season to go to Miami (while playing for the Cavs). If you talk to a few sports media members, it's something known, but they won't come forward due to the fear it would have on their career.

Steroids and HgH thins out your ligaments. Your muscles recover faster while the parts holding the muscles to the bone are becoming frail. Which is also why athletes may be constantly tearing tendons and ligaments. A natural body healing although much slower, will also heal and strengthen tendons and ligaments along with muscle gains.
