Like I said, they don’t apply to him. He’s the Chuck Norris of pitching.

They are a terrible way to protect arms but it’s all we have against the retards in AP and LP who can do nothing but count.

Yup. And following the game, he made his next start on three days rest and went six shut innings against the Yankees to get the win.

What about the Stanford pitcher Mathews in the Regionals that threw 114 pitches on a Friday against A&M…then was brought in 3 days later to throw another 66 pitches?

CJJ almost to a fault carefully babied Skenes early and gradually built him up just for him to be ready for this. This guys a prick for suggestin CJJ is trying to win bonuses. Listen to one interview u asshat.

Reporters are soft and couldn't throw 25 of the 125. Skenes is a full-grown real man. Nothing soft about him.

WP can go F themselves.

But I'm sure WaPo is totally fine with William Thomas dangling his schlong in the women's locker room and getting a championship trophy for tying with a girl swimmer, depriving two other females of All American status. That's fine.

Whatever the Washington Post says the opposite is true. Biggest liars and manipulators on the planet.

So, good job coach.

MLB pitchers also pitch on two days less rest


This is the major reason why it’s not that big of a deal

Skenes also was never stressed in the final 2 innings. So they weren’t strenuous pitches.

Skenes also threw 100+ pitches in his opening start in February.

Having him throw ~20 more 4 months later pitching every 7 days … it’s really a non issue and irresponsible for journalists not lay out all points.
