I am almost certain it was 3 stolen bases, and I'm not sure this is the game to which I'm referring. if it is, I suspect the discrepancy might be be due to an official score erroneously ruling a passed ball/wild pitch when not noticing Karko was running on the play or maybe a defensive indifference that was inappropriate.

Did you read what I said. Throwing is primarily controlled by ligaments and tendons. Some SMALL muscle groups. The big muscle groups that benefit from steroids are relaxed when throwing. Muscles can only do 2 things relax and contract.
This is why most pitching injuries are the UCL (ulnar colateral ligament) and bicep tendon (which is often associated with torn labrum). Extremely rare to have a bicep or tricep tear in a pitcher. If anything, steroids are detrimental to connective tissue like ligaments and tendons. Pitchers use ped's to recover quicker from outings.
If there is somewhere on youtube a video about mike marshall speaking about the screwball he taught and kinesiology behind it, i'd suggest watching it. He developed a weird looking way of throwing that actually puts the strain on the tricep and back muscles witch can take far more strain than the conventional way to pitch.
You guys realize that "flintstone" vitamins generally don't help pitchers throw harder? they help pitchers recover faster from their previous starts.
Hitters now, increase power.
The strain of throwing hard is primarily placed on tendons, ligaments, and smaller muscles which is why arm injuries are prevalent. The bicep muscle is mostly relaxed (not being flexed) during a throw.
I used to shout "show me the hands Juan!" every time he came up to bat in a big situation because of the way he would raise his hands above his head when he knew he got a hold of one.
Because being healthy and taking 2 months of are the same things? And I never said no one would challenge us for the division or thatwe would even win the division.
