Great explanation Matt , I am a former steroid user & I can tell you from experience the number one thing that anabolic steroids do for you is that they make you feel super human .So not only does your strength go through the roof so does your confidence & this makes you better at absolutely every single thing you do . Imagine all your physical abilities amplified ,even for a non professional athlete like me this was an amazing feeling that I will never forget & it took me years to not think about it every time I went to the gym or did anything physical.
So for a professional finely tuned athlete to take steroids is a huge advantage .
Thanks for sharing!!!! Thanks for watching!
This is a great point. The mental aspect that juice gives people.
@@AntonelliBaseball crazy that high schoolers take PED’s/Steroids…
You make such an important point that even most steroid users don’t realize. The placebo/psychological effect they give to your confidence (even if your not on them but think you are) will make you perform better. But you shouldn’t take steroids or have them in your system during the season when your playing because they slow your muscles down, therefore bat speed, throwing, velocity, running speed. Your supposed to only use them in the off season to build strength, and then get them out of your system before spring training. Bodybuilding is totally different because it’s not a physical performance sport, it’s a visual sport judged on the way you look, not physical performance.
There is a ton to be said for how you feel day to day. Quicker recovery = more energy day to day over a 162 game schedule.
Wandering Weekends it also means you gain more from the daily game/practice since you’re not nursing the previous day’s soreness
For sure!!! Thanks for watching!
@@Slippindisc
Yep. Recovery.
@@TheBatugan77 yeah. I was expanding on the quicker recovery. A lot of people hear “quicker recovery” and they think that you’re just not sore from a workout or something. But it means you can focus completely on the task at hand because it’s like you’re starting from a clean slate or even improved state every day. So yes quicker recovery is a good blanket term for it, but it can be delved Into deeper for people who want to go beyond grugg level catch phrases.
@@AntonelliBaseball absolutely! More power, more homeruns. Faster recovery. Makes a pitcher throw faster too.
You broke that down masterfully. I always sigh when people trash Bonds for his accomplishments not realizing that the entire era, most players were taking steroids. He was leveling the playing field by doing what he did, but that doesn’t take away the fact that he hit those home runs. I remember when he took the batting coach job for SF after retirement and there was rumors of him still crushing them into the stands just farting around at batting practice, and he’s much smaller body mass now that he bikes so much. He deserves HOF in my opinion. That’s a great topic for a future video? What players in your opinion deserve to be in the HOF that currently aren’t? Maybe a top 10? And explain a little why? Love you channel
I'm of the opinion that Bonds should be in the HOF because 1. Everyone was doing steroids back then and 2. The commissioner of baseball back then unofficially supported the use of them. Not letting Bonds in when other players who did them were let in is a huge slap in the face to Bonds.
Personally though I like the much stricter rules on PEDs that Baseball has taken now. Personally for me I find it more fun to see good players do what they're able to do via their own skill over help with PEDs.
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
California you understood nothing about roids idiot
@@ssimpson3288 What I'm confused about is, Bonds never tested positive.
@@cronos8832 He looked positive, though. 😂
Can you do a video on corked bats?
I always felt that the stronger guys not only had the advantage of more extra base power but also the advantage of having a better chance of mishits falling in because they were more likely to muscle the ball over or through the infield. A stronger guy can get hits without needing to barrel it up as much as a weaker guy needs to and as a result can get away with lesser hitting mechanics, at least at lower levels.
And, to help demonstrate the importance of strength, Ted Williams once said that if there was one thing he could do differently it would be to have gotten stronger.
In his book, Canseco said that he felt an advantage to the additional strength was that he could use a bat with more mass and could more easily maintain his energy and not have to reduce the size of the bat as much or at all as the season went along.
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Cansecos book reveals a lot of details about mlb steroid use. It’s incredible.
good analysis. I've always said that steroids won't CREATE talent that wasn't already there; but it will ENHANCE talent that is already present.
which is why during the steroid era, you have players taking it that didn't do jack shit.
Tom Nguyen exactly. Been saying this myself forever
For sure!!!
Another thing PEDs do. They help a player maintain the level of play longer as they get older. The usual drop-off and breakdown after 32 is delayed. So it helps careerwise too
Jesus Christ is King
Great video, Matt. I 100% agree. The Gold’s joke was hilarious.
Thanks!! Thanks for watching!
This is the first time I have ever understood the underlying ethical issue with steroids. I'm not saying I agreed with their use, but I now understand why clean players feel the way they do about those players who used them.
Good explanation. 👍👌
In my opinion, the majority of the players who admitted to have taken (or tested positive for) steroids, were already amazing players. The reaction time and hand eye coordination isn't improved with the use of steroids. However, the ability to recover from injury is crucial. I feel that the decision to use steroids by many of those players who did, was influenced greatly by the injury aspect. In regard to power, if you are stronger, you will be able to hit the ball at a greater distance. However, many of these players were already great homerun hitters. An interesting fact is that under the rules of the "steroid era" of baseball, steroids were not a banned substance. A great player is a great player. Steroids do offer positive effects. They were not banned at the time. That's my opinion on the topic. :)
Very interesting video, as usual. Thanks for posting, Matt! I hope you are doing well. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to the next video.
Steriods = Muscle = Speed = Reaction time.
Its honestly says SO much abt Matt as a man that he didn't take steroids. I mean he was in the thick of the steroid era. Respect to you
From 1994 into the 21st Century in the MLB, balls became juiced, the strike zone got much smaller, and ball parks got smaller. I believe it was the Selig's and Steinbrenner's wanting to increase hitting at all cost. The only thing you cannot blame on them are the maple bats. In my opinion no one knew how to use maple bats better then Barry Bonds and Alphonso Soriano. Also during the Bonds, Sosa and McGwire era the strike zones really shrunk.
Finally somebody talks about the stadiums becoming smaller.
Strength helps so much with your hitting, like jam shots some guys are strong enough to muscle a ball to the outfield even when they get jammed, but when I would get jammed I would hit a little roller
Love the channel. Always wanted to hear a players perspective on this.
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
3:17 PLAYOFFS! We're talking about PLAYOFFS!?!
People can take all of the gear they want but if they can't time that pitch and make contact they wont have to worry about 162 games.
I really wish we’d get away from the puritanical nonsense regarding juice. You can get laser eye surgery correcting your vision to *better* than perfect, you can have a leg tendon installed in your elbow, you can get stem cells injected to bring your soft tissue back to 18 YOA, and you can tell a doctor that you can’t focus or concentrate and you walk away with an amphetamine permission slip.
But a hormone that your body used to make more of that can be safely taken, makes you more injury resistant, cuts down recovery time, and makes you feel better overall while enhancing broad spectrum performance? That’s CHEATING, YOU DIRTY LAZY CHEATER! Only aging lawyers and stockbrokers in their mid-life crisis should be able to take that stuff.
Your strength increases. All things being equal that helps. In other words, you can actually regress if you work out 'wrong'. Changing physiology comes into play.
II can’t believe I’m doing this…but here ya go. Barry Bonds first 10 years he batted 1470 times and struck out 769 times which means he struck out 52% of the time. And his last 11 years(which which included 4 of his biggest home run years)… he batted 1107 times and struck out 668 times which averaged striking out 60% of the time. So he actually struck out 8% more times his “steroid” years than his “non steroid” years. He WAS NOT seeing the ball better on steroids. But when he did hit the ball….he was hitting lasers!
I noticed a lot more power and much more concentration and focus when I took them in college ball in the early 2000’s.
They make you hit your wife and kids better.
All jokes aside.. imo, pros earn every damn penny. The minimum league pay should be at least one million $. For the greats earning twenty million a season... if they are making that much, how much do you think they are earning the corporate machines. At any level the pro's are the elite of the elite and grinding out a season is hard work... all the while keeping America's happy watching the games. (God bless you Cal Ripken Jr.)
Imagine how much pro's would make if they got an honest cut of the entirety of what baseball is worth.
More than even professional futbol players. MLB makes the second most in revenue among all sports leagues
I didn't play a lot of organized baseball but we used to play a lot of pickup games. Between my junior and senior year in high school I put on about 30 lbs. (sadly not mostly muscle!) I remember the first game we played that spring. I suddenly could crush the ball (relative to what I used to be able to do).
I feel bad for the guys who are on the bubble between levels who get beat out by a guy on steroids. There are so many negative long term health effects for steroids, but down the line, there is this little part of me that would like to see a seniors league where the players were allowed to juice with healthier versions. It might be motivation for over the hill couch potatoes like me to get more physically active.
Thanks for sharing!!! Thanks for watching!
I watched a college teammate go from a doubles hitter to hitting the ball further than anyone on the team in the short space of 4 months. He ended up injured early in the season from getting to strong in a short period of time. It is an unfair advantage absolutley.
For sure!
Another great video. Thanks for breaking it down!
Thanks for watching!
You make sense Matt I always really wondered how steroids helped. Nice vid man keep up the good work
A friend of mine took a substance that mimicked HGH although I can’t remember it specifically. Only advantage he got was a slight amount of increased extra base power and quicker injury recovery time. Doesn’t change much.
So he took a substance that wasn't HGH, and still saw increases in things that would make him a much greater player. Sounds good.
It wasn’t by much and he only got one small injury as a player. His stats before and after steroids between his seasons look almost identical.
Was he a professional baseball player that got to work out/play as a job? The whole point is that you can maximize your practice/lifting to be a better player.
Played college ball at a small town university.
Nothing "mimics" HGH, however there is a secretagog (definitely butchered that) which increases the amount of HGH your body normally produces. It would barely make a difference on muscle strength at all, though injuries would heal faster, and bones and tendons would heal much faster which anabolic/androgenic steroids do not do
Can you please a video on drills to get a quicker transition. I love ur vids keep up the work
Will do!
Steriods improve nearly everything re: athletic performance. Even if you limit the effects to enhanced strength it doesn't take much to see the enormous effect of adding 10-15 ft to each fly ball hit by a major leaguer. Huge homer output!
What’s the number one drug for pro ballplayers Matt? Test suspension? Primo? GH?
Edit: Sorry 😂😂
A GH secretagogue (butchered that)/ just GH, test suspension/ winstrol. Aka things that leave your body quickly for testing
I think it's a bad example for kids, they look up to pro athletes....also putting your body in harm's way to achieve something is pretty sick....to me it's the equivalent as a person who gets rich being dishonest......thanks for being a ball player with integrity we need more people like you:)
For sure! Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
It’s rewarded for in America. If anyone did what pro athletes do in the business world they would be locked in prison for 10+ years… but pro athletes get caught & get a slap on the wrist.
The “steroids don’t make you a better hitter” people are delusional, because even if you take away the power numbers and focused solely on hitting, increased strength will make you a better all-around hitter. With increased strength comes increased bat speed. And with increased bat speed comes the ability to catch up to more pitches. And if you’re able to catch up to more pitches, you’re going to make contact and put the ball in play more often.
I was watching the 2002 World Series the other day and every time Barry Bonds came up to hit, it was basically a home run. His bat speed, hand-eye coordination, reflexes, and pitch recognition was insane and Barry Bonds was close to 40 years old. You're absolutely correct the people that says PEDs don't do anything at all, are clearly delusional. It helped Barry Bonds do things he couldn't do in his physical prime.
lorenzodemedici1 Remember that shot Bonds hit in the WS in Anaheim? Where the camera cuts to Tim Salmon, whose lips you can easily read, and he says, “That’s the furthest ball I’ve ever seen hit.”
But how can you prove that it does that? Because a lot of people with the bat speed, pitch recognition, etc. Derek Jeter, Chipper, etc.
B-radyjames96 MLB It’s not exactly a controversial statement. More strength equals more bat speed. I guess I’m not really sure what your question is. Are you asking how I can prove that faster bat speed improves hitting in general?

Dude, you rock, I’m telling every sports fan
thank you for your honest and educated opinion. I hope people know how valuble you sharing your knowledge is.
Coach what about Creatine? a good diet,progessive resistance training , then add Creatine? is it a common supplement in MLB?Much Respect
Yes it is pretty common. I used it during my career. Worked great! Thanks for watching!
Okay....so....there may be hope, below average hitter against below average pitching....the boost may be what I need to get my first dinger, haha.....as long as I avoid the Antonelli chinese food diet as well...interest video Matt. When I was watching it I was wondering / thinking, have you spoken with guys who did them, what did they say, maybe you covered it in another video I haven't seen yet. I'd be interested in what those guys had to say about differences they noticed.
Just wanna throw this out there, HGH is not a steroid & HGH was not outlawed until 2005. Also, there are a lot of things that are legal you can take to help you last the season. Now, we can debate if it makes you a better player or not.
Nobody talks about bonds also winning multiple gold gloves or being the only one to go 400/400 or 500/500. Dude was just the greatest player that ever played. Even in Pittsburgh he was hitting 30 to 40 HR a year. Imagine how many more hrs he'd have if he wasn't walked a million times
He was a stud no doubt! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’m not a proponent of steroids but I think players did what they had to do to survive and succeed. To an excess I admit. But I think performance enhancing substance is relative to the era you play in. One example I think of is the holy grail of baseball Babe Ruth. He was known to come to games drunk or even drink in games. It was frowned upon then also. Like most people drinking takes the edge off and allows people to relax. Who is to say that Babe figured out that he couldn’t hit as well due to nervousness and therefore drank to relax. Technically that’s a performance enhancing substance. Just my opinion
Absolutely!! Thanks for watching!!
Barry Bonds still would have hit 500 HRs without steroids. Maybe even 600-650. But I do think he would not have eclipsed Hammering Hank. Some of those balls that just cleared the fence would have died on the warning track instead.
I think that, without steroids, a slimmer Bonds would have been more nimble on the base paths and, though he would have hit less HRs, he would have had more doubles, triples, and stolen bases.
How much faster do you think a pitcher on steroids (PEDS) will throw versus a natural pitcher?? Considering both athletes have the same skill and work ethic.
What’s your thought about HGH? IMO, if it can make a player recover faster from an injury or prolong his career, I’m all for it. I totally understand what you guys go through and, millions or not, having debilitating injuries at 40 aren’t a joke.
Another great topic Matt....great explanation.. i always felt the same way regarding steroids in baseball. Hand eye coordination doesn't improve when you take them.....maybe Chinese food does help though lol
Thanks!!!
Very good vid, gave a different perspective
Thanks!
As a Seattle Mariners fan i'd like to give a shout out to Robinson Cano for his 80 game suspension,good lookin out buddy.
Hahaha! Thanks for watching!
is it "fair" if a kid is born with jacked over vision?
because before corrective lenses (contact or glasses) they had no chance
this is a path we do not want to go down
Gotta blame them roids...... them hemroids
Love the vids Matt keep it up
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video on sidearm pitchers? Have you ever played with any?
?\
Submarine pitchers
Great discussion. It stinks how all those guys in the 60’s and 70’s who were juiced up on speed seem to get a pass and the steroid guys are banished even though most were great to start with. Here’s hoping for some revisionist history.
Very true! Someone will be on something always. Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!
Yea if ur not a good hitter or pitcher and your practice hard every day and have the mamba mentally you are going to get better..so I hate when people in the comments say if the talent is not there it won't work...well news for you guys practicing gets the talent there then when you take the drugs you are going to great player. So that cancels out what you guys been saying about the talent not being there.
Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!
good explanation Matt.
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
I know you’ve mentioned some in the past, but what is the strangest banned substance in the MLB. I know not all of them are crazy performance enhancing supplements. Great video and point of view on steroids in baseball. Great video as always!
raloxifen - used for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in menopausal women and reduce risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
It’s a SERM, it’s used to control your estradiol level when taking anabolics.
POs be like: LOL you guys have to actually play everyday. Sucks to be you and I even get paid more.
what kind of routine/program do players use for strength training during the season? especially on the road? it seems like it would be inconsistent at best.
It depends on the level. Most MLB parks have weight rooms for the opposing teams. Thanks for watching!
tbf
is it "fair" that a kid grew up with glasses or contact lenses compared to the rest of the group?
is it "fair" that some kids are over 6' and 200#s and others are around 5'7" 160?
"fair" is relative
You should do a video on the best ways to take care of your arm
Will do!
Was Mad Dog a jerk while blasting?
Hey Matt, who were some great baserunners? Specifically any who weren't burners, beginning is not all about speed right?
I think cc Sabathia's take was pretty good he was on a podcast talking about the steroid era and he said he didnt care that they were juiced cause he still knew he could get them at the end of the day you still need to be able to hit it and that holds some weight but I also get not every pitcher is cc and when you get a guy like barry bonds who hits everything anyways and give him steroids ofcourse hes gonna rake because hes not always gonna face killer pitchers who could get him which none could really do it anyways lol
Makes you stronger, so yeah.
Awesome video, I have always wondered when a player bats with no batting gloves and gets pine tar from his bat on his hands to get grip and then goes to the field and touches the ball is that a way a pitcher could get tar on the ball
Thanks!!! And yes it would probably get some on there for sure! Thanks for watching!
Here’s the thing, steroids don’t make your hand-eye coordination better, they don’t help you read pitches, they don’t help your mechanics. They make you stronger. For example, give that kid that only hits ground balls steroids, maybe he gets a few hard hit ground balls through the infield and possibly some liners. Now give the person that knows what they’re doing roids. That person will be so much better. It may be just my opinion, but I believe steroids should be frowned upon, but they should not hold someone back from the HOF like Bonds. Dude was hitting the ball 50+ feet over the wall, it would be gone without the roids too, he was a great hitter before, so why punish him for trying to even the playing grounds he was in?
I do want to meet people who say baseball isn't that long. It's the longest sport in terms of a season. You really do get exhausted from day to day playing every single day. True it isn't as straining on the body as say hockey or football but they don't play as long and don't play every single day.
Hello Matt, I just saw that play where the Yankees had a wild pitch hit the backstop, and Gary Sanchez caught the ball off the deflection and threw out the runner advancing to third. What has to be the most wacky or ridiculous play you've been a part of? and please, give your opinion on that play. I've never seen anything like it in my life.
I saw that also. It was crazy. I'm not 100% sure about the craziest play I've seen. Need to think about it for a bit. Thanks for watching!
Yes they do I take them and I hit better further longer etc..
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
Pretty sure amphetamines help just as much, if not more. And everyone in mlb has a script for them these days.
You're not only going to hit the ball further, with that extra bat speed you're going to get around on pitches that otherwise might get by you. You can literally turn a strike into a home run.
Absolutely!!! Thanks for watching!
Also throw harder as a pitcher too
I literally started watching u 1 hr ago
Le o he's a pretty honest guy!
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
Do you feel releasing the rest of the names that were on the list with Arod is owed? Or do you feel there are names on there that would discredit a lot of major names and just make people lose faith in baseball??
As someone who has taken a lot of 'steroids', I can assure you that they aren't going to make you a better hitter. Stronger..yes. But not a better hitter. They really aren't the big deal that everyone makes them out to be. It isn't like you take a shot in your glute and you suddenly feel like a super athlete. You don't really notice it.
He’s is Lord and Saviour and that is Jesus Christ from Nazareth
People always talk about how Steroids help hitters hit Home Runs. But they never really talk about how Steroids benefit pitchers. Pitchers rely on the strength of their pitching arm muscles and recovery of a sore arm.
For sure!!! Thanks for watching!
If Matt had taken steroids he woulda broke the single season MLB HR record
Do you think MLB should have teams in more countries that play baseball? (Mexico city, Tokyo, maybe even Havana)
Joeyjoejr100 that would be actually awesome. Like an expansion.
Did anyone else think matt's voice sounded lower
Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) do make you a better player and athlete in general. There have been numerous peer reviewed studies that cites increased in hand eye coordination, stamina, strength, speed, reflexes, durability, faster recovery time, more mental clarity, etc. If PEDs had no benefits, many cheaters wouldn't have taken them.
lorenzodemedici1 you make a good point, but there were a lot of guys who took them who never contended for HR lead. They just werent good hitters. You still have to make contact.
For sure!!! Thanks for watching!
Not any more, that fool called a Commissioner wants to change the game he wants to cut the season to 50 games, pitcher time clock, automate the strike zone, his list goes on.
It would have been funny if you just said "Yes" and then rolled the outro xD haha
To anyone who really wants to know what steroids do for you at the plate, read Canseco's book. Think whatever you want about him but he breaks down exactly what steroids do to help you to see, react and connect with the ball.
Thanks!!!
Did you hear what Mark Teixeira said about knowing/suspecting which players took PEDs? Do you think you know some players that took PEDs in the majors?
I only know a few. And I didn't hear what he said. Thanks for watching!
Can you start baseball as a freshman? With some experience
Sure you can. Not a lot do, but you can. Thanks for watching!
love the way people can post videos about steroids and recovery and muscular growth yet they cant name 3 steroids and how they work. just sad. been in bodybuilding for 20 years and there is no magic drug for recover or muscular growth. recover comes from one thing an that is rest. the primary use for drugs or enhancements is to lower body water level to allow you to look better but they dont not create muscle of nothing. so much misinformation on the internet that leads to young people taking this stuff ending up either dead or in the hospital. because people post videos about things they have no real experience in or understanding of muscularly growth recovery and development work. if they knew how that worked they would realise how stupid it sounds when they say drugs helps the body recover
Matt where can I get a frame like that one behind you ? I want to frame a jersey
I bought mine at a local baseball souvenir store. Thanks for watching!
To me this has NOTHING to do with hitting and injuries and everything to do with BEING HONEST TO THE ADULTS that are helping you...ie throwing...coaching...shuttling etc etc. If you get caught buying these drugs and get arrested you are done. Be smart about what you are doing.
Does Adrian Beltre take steroids?
Do you think we should give players the option to take PEDs?
No I don't.
What about the pitchers that were juiced?
Same thing! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I honestly don't see how anybody survived a major league season without steroids.
Haha me too! Thanks for watching!
Ken Caminiti
and Brady Anderson
What’s your bench and squat max
I have no idea. Probably not very much anymore lol. Thanks for watching!
I have always said there needs to be an XLB. Basically a real life slug fest. Its genius I fucking know.
No, steroids make you a less fatigued hitter...when fatigue sets in, technique breaks down, it’s in the research for decades...but as with using technology to steal signs, it’s gaining an unfair advantage and if it was good for the game, it would be allowed ⚾️👍
What's Domingo Ayala real name?
Charles Taylor The best guess is that he's Ryan Spilborgh's brother.
Of course it makes you a better hitter. If I can swing a bat even five percent quicker with steroids, I'm getting more hits. Eliminate the fact that the go farther.
For sure!
How does steroids help pitchers
throw harder, recover faster. until they blow out their arm
Before I even watch this, because I’m sure you’ll get this right but I wanna say:
Of course steroids make you a better hitter. Forget muscle bound-ness or other silly arguments people will make against it. Forget the strength for a second. Number one, it will increase your focus, speed, drive, and hand eye coordination. It will make you more confident. You can breath more because your Red blood cell count goes up. And YES, your strength goes through the roof. Not just strength but stamina. You can safely work out twice a day without over training (probably, depends on the person) either way, recovery time goes WAY down. Yes steroids improve ball players, or they wouldn’t have to do it to keep up with their peers.
And it’s sad because juice is the best way to permanently fuck up your body and mind. Wanna have kids some day? No? How about your future wife? Don’t wanna be committed to daily or weekly needles? Sorry buddy, once you quit, you never quite feel “right” again. I might actually make the argument that gear is just as bad as heroin. It certainly can be in its lasting effects. I think if doctors could prescribe and study it maybe it would be safer but... that’ll never happen.
Absolutely!!! Thanks for sharing!
How does making millions of dollars affect the way that players approach the game?
they approach the game in lambos and ferraris as opposed to hondas and chevys.
Yes for some it has no change. For some it does. Depends on the individual I guess. Thanks for watching!
Well at least you made it pro some can't say that about themselves
Thanks!
You're very welcome
Even though I don't play baseball I plan on playing it next year
Mickey Mantle miss a World Series game because of a failed steroid injection
Not true at all. What source did you get that from? He had the flu and received an injection to help him get better; it didn't work obviously.
Isn't it true Mark McGuire wasn't a good hitter and became a better hits due to his stereos use ?
I'm not really sure when he started, but I'm pretty sure he was always a pretty good hitter. Thanks for watching!
Bonds never tested positive
No he didn't, but I think we all know he was on them. Lots of guys didn't test positive during those years, but there were a lot of guys on them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
His neck grew three sizes...
Ryan Braun is my fav team do you think Braun did it for injures
Connor Schmidt Ryan Braun isn’t a team
Sorry I meant player
Fuck Ryan Braun and his soft bitch ass he is fucking cancer to baseball needs steroids to be a semi decent player what a fucking pussy
