bullshite you fricking liar, LOL. So, you were the waterboy. LOLOLOL. So tell us, in your ONE physiology class, what pitch count # did your "professor" tell you is too many for this kid in this game. fricking clown

Liar? I worked with Mickey mariotti, who is the current S&C director for OSU and was at UF. I interned at UF for a year and worked with basically every sport there. And it takes more than 1 physiology class to get a degree, you fricking dolt.

So now YOU know his delivery, biomechanical stress, etc? Look, I understand the importance of guiding a kid, but a moron like yourself just deciding a random # makes the coach have bad judgement, is just stupid. Maybe it's 90% fastballs, which is less stress on different parts of the arm.

If you honestly believe 112 fast balls out of 125 pitches isn't causing soft tissue damage, you're about as ignorant as it gets. Seriously, don't quit your day job.

125 pitches, of any kind, WILL UNDOUBTEDLY cause damage if it continues. This is not an opinion. This is a fact, and a well known one at this point.

Like all body parts, yes, they wear down. Shocker.

LOL....this is a great exMple of how you guys don't know a fricking thing about this kid!

I highly encourage you to look more into this. You're obviously ignorant to modern science. Again, these aren't opinions. These are facts.

I never said I trained pitchers. I said I worked with baseball. Which I did. I was in the S&C department at UF. I don't know what else to tell you, considering you keep making things up to suit your argument.

I know more about this than you. I'm sorry you don't like that.

Honestly, can you even name the ligaments in the elbow or shoulder? Without googling, can you? If you can't do that, then you don't understand anatomy. Without understanding the anatomy, you definitely can't understand their functions. Without understanding their functions, you cant understand how they are affected when throwing a baseball.

You're a dumbass with a big mouth, period.

District titles are meaningless for most of the LHSAA

How about this breakdown:

Pre game warm up pitches-20-25

Actual Pitch count for 9 inn game- 125

warm up pitches b/w inn- 6 x9= 54


Real total for game- 200+

I don't care who the kid is or what his tolerance is nothing should make the above ok

It's like having to prove that texting and driving causes more accidents. It's that well known at this point. You're seriously dumb.

No one is denying overused arms on a constant basis isn't good. The argument was THIS kid in this game who threw basically 10 pitches over what most acccept as the most a 17 or 18 yr old should throw. That being said, I would think a major prospect has advanced knowledge of situation and limitations of his arm, including his family and coaches.
He pitched the equivalent of a complete game in a very important tied game which could decide the district championship. That's not even in the same conversation of "ruining his future" or a coach not protecting his arm just because he's an LSU signee. Those are just moronic overreactions from less intelligent LSU fans.

But let me guess, if it were Aaron Nola, and LSU had a chance to win the SEC championship, you're fine with him going on 2 days rest out of the bullpen or staring, right? You would say he's a warrior, a "gamer", and a team guy......even though you know it's not good for a pitcher to consistently go on short rest.

Just quit being overreacting idiots just because he pitched for a possible championship.

Throwing 125 at this point in the season is not the worst as long as he treats it properly with ice, running, rest, then long toss.
125 multiple times in a row on short rest with no recovery period is when injuries start.
If a pitcher isnt sore the next day, no matter if 50 pitches or 100, they weren't trying hard enough. Of course this soreness should be in upper back, shoulder, triceps region. Elbow soreness is not good

this is a terrible analogy... LSU is never bringing back Aaron Nola on short rest for anything before the regional or Omaha

in a "REGULAR SEASON" context, you never tax your guys' arms unnecessarily. no district championship or SEC championship is worth jeopardizing your ace's health for the games that truly matter (and be real, the ace is the only one you think you have to bring back on short rest or extend him past normal)

in a "POSTSEASON" context, where the championship that matters (LHSAA state playoff, NCAA regional, or MLB playoffs) is on the line, you do so and agonize greatly over it.

i'd like LHSAA to further change the pitching rule to one day of rest per inning pitched... our ace last week threw 91 pitches on Friday in 7 innings, then came back in relief for a game on Tuesday, with the excuse that "he would have been throwing a bullpen anyway".

bullshite.

High pressure relief in a high pressure game is not a bullpen. he came in in the fifth and just ran out of gas in the seventh, eventually walking in the winning run. If they make that rule that one inning = one day of rest, it will "standardize" the average HS start to 4 or 5 innings of a 7 inning game, which will be good to protect young arms
