bonds was just "good " 80s /early 90s power like 25-35 hrs when he still used/had elite speed.

Balls are juiced, bases are bigger. Comparison is irrelevant.

Bases being bigger is a good point
But Bonds himself was juiced 💉
Also, PCA is 23 years old

I’m not a “PCA” guy but I would argue that pitching is better now than it was for Bonds. League average OPS is lower now than it was for Bonds and I’d attribute most of that to pitching.

Man, no idea how anyone can not like this kid. Not only is he fun to watch (like, Pete Rose fun) but behind the scenes he's a real all-star. Staying late to sign autographs, no ego, no bullshit. Exactly what you want in your star. Basically the opposite of Devers.
