Surely a PED that allows a hitter to hit a home run that otherwise would not have been a home run would allow a pitcher to throw a fastball faster than he otherwise could. In all the talk about PEDs there has, as far as I can tell, been very little examination of the pitching side of the equation.

Listen you can make all the excuses you want and continue to apply the blindfold. How do you explain the last four(no five) seasons, exactly one player with a 50 homer season. Same number of teams, same Coors Field, Same Ballparks(just about). At this point how someone can continue to assert that steroids had no effect on hitting astounds me, I guess P.T. Barnum had it right.
