    People who do not understand language shouldn't be using words for a living.
    I said, you little schmuck, that his outlier season came out of nowhere.
    I said Chris Davis was on something and was shown to be right.

    The Brewers are six games into their make-or-break road trip (it's now officially a "break" trip). They have scored a total of eight runs (none through eight innings today). They have not scored more than a single run in any inning on the trip. There were even seven extra innings, so they've scored eight runs in 60 innings.

    No, you said his power came out of nowhere. You did exactly what far too many posters do on this board, and too many people in baseball discussions in general. You made a lazy accusation based on ignorance. You throw enough shit at the wall that you can claim victory when a little speck of it sticks, but ignore the rest as it plops to the ground like the pile of useless waste it truly is.

    Also, you said the outlier was due to some sort of PED use, but he took the Adderall in seasons before 2013 and he has taken it this season, when he regressed. Your information was wrong and your guess was wrong.

    Classic oop -- when he's wrong, he's still right.

    What is your purview that you throw a fit every time the sport's drug cheats are called out for what they are?
    Who the fuck do you think you are?

    I'm a poster on this board. Just like you, but I have more knowledge and integrity.

    I'm not throwing a fit. I'm calling bullshit when I see it. You threw a bunch of accusations against the wall because you felt like trolling again and I easily pointed out massive holes in your arguments. Of course, you keep trying to change your story or the subject because the alternative would be to admit that you were wrong. You claimed that Davis's power came out of nowhere. That is incorrect. He always had massive power. He just failed to make enough contact.

    The theory that 2013 was only due to the Adderall would make some sense given the drug's effects and the specific improvements in his game if not for one very important factor. Davis has admitted taking the drug before 2013 and again in 2014. Why did it work one year and not the others?

    That said, if you had said his improvement came out of nowhere, I wouldn't have argued that point. You would still have been making an accusation you couldn't support, but it was fair to say his 2013 improvements came out of nowhere. But you specifically pointed to his power, which was completely wrong.

    Of course, now you want to claim you meant it was any type of drug, not just one that increased strength, but you had showed no knowledge of the Adderall issue in MLB and did not raise it at all until after Davis was busted. You are using bullshit and 20/20 hindsight to cover for your ignorance. Sorry, fart boy, but it just doesn't fly.

    123 pages in this thread. I wonder how many of them are just the same back-and-forth between three or four people that only they give a shit about.

    Then feel free to post something interesting.
    We're not here to make you happy.
    OOP- I will go further and say Nelson Cruz is on something.

    The only reason I agree with your statement there is that bluster is your default stance. Hope that's not too cryptic for you.

    I also want to add that amphetamines are fucking drugs, and they do enhance physical and cognitive performance.

    Nobody questioned that. This attempt to suggest that I said otherwise fails miserably, just like all of your other attempts at misdirection. Try again, fart boy. Better yet, just admit you were wrong for once.
