What happened to complete games?

I don't get it, give the kid a chance to get a complete game. He did a hell of a job pitching tonight and just cause its the 9th innings you take him out. I wish they would give kids a chance to get a complete game, if a runner gets on then bring in a closer and he can get a real save! Tonight the kid deserved to the chance for a complete game against #1 in the country and came away with nothing.

McCune was a hgh school pitcher last season
7 innings is a high school complete game
this is his 5th college game

The pussification of America extends to baseball as well.
Whitey Ford shakes his head at pitch counts.

Early in the season. Don't want to stretch a guy to far until it really counts.
Don't want to get a reputation as a college coach of wearing kids arms out. It hurts the recruiting of pitchers.
You build the kids up for the late season tournaments.

Put another way ... ever since we let Matty Ott go 7 innnings last year, he's never been the same pitcher.
No reason to risk the rest of the season by extending a pitcher an extra 1-3 innings for one single victory. It's just not worth it.
Not to mention, you've got to establish a bullpen. If we don't do it now, we won't have any chance to win it all later in the season. A win might seem uber-important in the moment, but in the longrun we're trying to build a successful season (not just get one win), and starting pitching alone is not gonna get it done, we need guys in the bullpen we can trust to keep a lead.

I was a little surprised when eades came out in the 8th, mccune was in complete control at that point. does anybody know the pitch count for mccune? either way, I think we see ott in the 9th regardless. damn new bats, with the old bats that hr would've died at the track.
