Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?

@EvanNaides @BaseballWRLD_ No it didn’t. He started something like 0-20, then had nearly an .800 ops by the end of 32 games and was consistently trending up. He currently has an ops of .563 and has been getting worse as the seasons gone on. Bat speed is down too.

If he stayed with Boston, he would be retired now because he would have been struck by a meteor in the parking lot of a grocery store or something.

There's no better fielder in MLB history than the opposing team's lifetime -39 OAA corner outfielder who's within range of your favorite young player's 113 mph late game line drive.

@Chizitere_xyz It’s gonna be interesting seeing the responses to this, but that seems to be almost an entirely self inflicted problem. Both my male and female friends check in, we tell each other we love each other and give lots of platonic affection all the time. It’s who you’re surrounded by.

@YankeeWRLD I feel the exact same about judge and Gunnar 😂 I can root against the Yankees and orioles every day and still be excited about these guys being absolute fucking studs at the sport I love

[Joey Ellicott @BulldogEllicott]

@fuzzyfromyt His balance looks way better at least to my eyes - his home run yesterday I thought I noticed a mini hiccup in his load when offspeed came, but he adjusted and stayed back through it and crushed it. Idk, eye test is looking good

@SenorBarves @mango_deuce @shaun_NYM @jayhaykid Why are you saying 141 like it’s not good lmao it’s tied for 19th all time

Gaining 15–20 lb of SOLID skeletal muscle in just 4 months is not physiologically realistic for natural athletes.

Peer-reviewed research and applied sports nutrition data consistently show that muscle protein synthesis has a biological ceiling.

Even under ideal conditions (progressive training, adequate sleep, optimal protein and calories):

Beginners: 1–2 lb of muscle per month
Intermediate trainees: 0.5–1 lb per month
Advanced trainees: minimal gains

That puts realistic 4-month gains at 4–8 lb (best-case beginners) — not 15–20 lb.

When people claim 15–20 lb of “muscle” in an offseason, that number almost always includes:
-Glycogen + water weight (each gram of glycogen binds ~3 g of water)
-Fat mass from a large calorie surplus
-Training-related inflammation
-Scale weight or BIA estimates, not actual contractile muscle tissue

From a nutrition standpoint, even with optimal intake:
-Protein: 1.6–2.2 g/kg/day
-Calories: a moderate surplus (~300–500 kcal/day)

I’ve had athletes gain 20 lbs of muscle in 8 -12 months.

But you cannot override the body’s rate of muscle fiber accretion without pharmacological enhancement.

Real muscle gain is slow, measurable over months to years.

@josefuturejeter @jjsreturn @Liston617 @NicholasGoodsp4 @LouMerloni Exactly. Like I have 0 doubt he put on 15 lbs on the scale, 1000%. It just wasn’t all muscle! It feels like we’re splitting hairs, but it does have a meaningful difference :)

[Joey Ellicott @BulldogEllicott]

@josefuturejeter @jjsreturn @Liston617 @NicholasGoodsp4 @LouMerloni Yes it is crazy, it’s physiologically not possible. We’re not talking scale weight- think increased glycogen, water accumulation due to increased calories AND lean tissue : 10-15lbs of pure lean tissue in a trained individual will take 3-5 years, not 6 months

[Joey Ellicott @BulldogEllicott]

@jjsreturn @Liston617 @NicholasGoodsp4 @LouMerloni Last comment just for anyone reading: burden of proof falls on the person making a positive statement (you, saying it is possible). So you have failed to meet the requirement of proof. Okay I’m done, back to work I go

[Joey Ellicott @BulldogEllicott]

@jjsreturn @Liston617 @NicholasGoodsp4 @LouMerloni And you’re condescending, ignorant and poorly versed in how to engage in healthy debate. You haven’t provided any data or even examples of this being a possibility. Good luck in your life 🫡

[Joey Ellicott @BulldogEllicott]

@jjsreturn @Liston617 @NicholasGoodsp4 @LouMerloni I never said it did. Your argument hinges on him being skinny - he is not. Natural lifters will gain between 20-40lbs of pure muscle over the course of their lives - do you really think he put on 15 in 3-4 months? It’s not physically possible for anyone, factually.

[Joey Ellicott @BulldogEllicott]

@jjsreturn @Liston617 @NicholasGoodsp4 @LouMerloni Thank you for the ad hominem - I have people do nearly strictly strength training. You LITERALLY cannot put on the amount of lean tissue that quickly. I also recognize you’re almost for sure rage baiting or trolling, just decided to engage for once.

[Joey Ellicott @BulldogEllicott]

@jjsreturn @Liston617 @NicholasGoodsp4 @LouMerloni What’s the point of this? He doesn’t get to defy the laws of biology because you think 6’3” 200 is scrawny (it’s not)
