what happens if a player is ejected after he hits a home run, but before he reaches home?

Couple pages back but lol at people thinking Bonds should be in the HoF. Sorry, cheaters don't get in. He was a very very good cheater, yes. If he hadn't cheated he would have still been better than 99.999% of players. It's too bad but there's no 'oh you were this good so cheating is ok' threshold

the fact everyone else was doing it, or it was tacitly endorsed, or whatever excused for cheating you want to put on it are irrelevant. he was cheating and got caught. all records are suspect.

Julio Cruz posted:This just in, Hall of Fame credentials should be based not on how good a player you were but on how good you were at avoiding being caught taking the same pills and supplements everybody else was taking. how do you know how good of a player he would have been if he didn't cheat? you can have a pretty good idea, but you can never be sure. Either PEDs are allowed or their use excludes you from the HOF, I'm not sure there's a middle ground.

Paul Zuvella posted:Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, and Willie Mays all admitted to cheating over the course of their careers through gratuitous use of amphetamines. Should they be removed from the hall? If they were caught taking them then yes. If they just claim/admit to have taken them no.

patonthebach posted:Should Willie Mays be in the hall? I've already said that if bonds was never actually caught by the league then he should be fine, but I'll add that the comparisons being made between sterioids and things like amphetamines, spitballs and pine resin are pretty ridiculous.

patonthebach posted:You have really weird arguments about when cheating is ok and when its not. Are you in pre-law or something? my point of view would be that amphetamines don't give you any innate natural ability, whereas steroids enable you to better physically express your natural ability. I used to be prescribed a lot of amphetamines and I never noticed any difference when playing a sport - adrenaline has the same effect anyway. I didn't really consider off days and training though I guess. I'll admit to being a layman on this.

Jummy posted:My aunt took steroids after getting a transplant, she immediately started jacking 450 feet homers. It was insane. thats literally the opposite of what I said but noice one liner Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Hahaha what does this even mean. it's not complicated. the best eye in the world is useless if you can't get the barrel around .01 of a second sooner. amphetamines might increase focus but they don't give you any additional ability that you could not physically muster under normal game conditions (adrenaline pumping etc) anyways I'm the only one actually discussing anything everyone else is just calling me an idiot so that's the last I'll say on the matter.

Jummy posted:My issue is that it's just impossible to quantify how they may help so there's no point in speculating. I said steroids do not give you natural ability. you sarcastically stated my position as being that steriods could give your aunt the ability to hit dingers. those are opposite statements.

Twenty-six adult male subjects were given a placebo, 20 mg. of amphetamine sulfate, or 800 mg. of meprobamate two hours prior to the administration of tests of reaction time and movement time. No statistically significant differences were found between mean scores or variances for the substances tested. It appears that neither drug in dosages commonly employed in connection with the preparation of athletes for competition has any effect on human simple reaction time or simple movement time in response to a visual stimulus.

Citizen Tayne posted:Lol no if it wasn't directly targeting someone I would argue that it's an opportunity for a teaching moment, not a chance to fire someone. but yes it should be a big deal and taken seriously. edit: also let's have some consistency, pillars' action was not the equivalent of standing up in a crowded quiet office and screaming 'human being' it's more like an under the breath thing that came out louder than intended. this is not intended to minimize his action.

Citizen Tayne posted:No one in civil society in 2017 should be throwing that slur around, any more than racial ones that have gotten people fired. Yep I can totally see where you're coming from, and don't really want to make an argument out of it. But if I were an employer and someone that I thought was a respectful, good kid let slip a slur like that, it would be an opportunity to educate them about why it is unacceptable and its effects on others. What good is firing him going to do?

Fair enough. I think this could be discussed further but we're far away enough from Pillar that it should probably not happen here

kp is now 100% good in my books again and I couldn't be happier about it. it was such an ugly stupid thing to have happen but he has handled it as well as he possibly could have. http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/mlb/why-did-it-happen-toronto-blue-jays-kevin-pillar-reflects-on-homophobic-slur-he-yelled-at-opponent quote:“I’m 28 years old and I hear grown men use (ugly) language all the time, whether it’s in a clubhouse, on the field, in the streets, on a subway, on a plane. The language isn’t dead and gone,” he said. “But for me to use that type of language is not something that my wife, who I’ve known for close to 10 years now, has ever heard me use. My mother, it’s something she’s never heard me use.
