Okay, got it, your posts can't be taken seriously. Thanks.

Buddy.

I’m not looking for your validation, so thanks please ignore my posts

One day you’ll learn to not get so butthurt over posts on here

To my knowledge, neither Lang or Poche' had any arm problems during there freshmen season.

Why would Hilliard not be rested after all that time? Edit. OK. Just saw where he has arm soreness.

I don't remember Poche's freshman year, but Lange skipped a start his freshman year. Had kind of a dead arm thing, which can be worked through. He was fine after that. It was also a way to manage his workload.

Most don't, but if someone does have arm issues their freshman season it's not because of their college coach. Those arm injuries don't happen overnight. It's a culmination of years of overuse and/or genetics. It has become an epidemic in baseball because of how much earlier kids are overusing their arms and how many games they throw at an early age. Kids 20-30 years ago weren't playing 70+ games of travel ball every year pre-adolescence. That has become the norm. Even when I was a kid in the early 90s, we didn't play nearly as many games as kids did 10 years later. If people try to blame Mainieri for arm issues our pitchers have that is just ignorance, plain and simple. Most of these injuries have just been ticking time bombs before the kids ever step foot on campus.

I hope you are right.

Me, too. That's why I asked the troll above if he had heard or read something about Hilliard having elbow pain.

Elbow pain would likely mean he's done for the season.

If it's just sore arm muscles from throwing 97 pitches last week, he'll likely be fine next weekend.

It makes a big difference where and what kind of pain he's having. The part-time baseball fans and full-time snowflakes who like to troll the board don't know nor care about the difference.

For all the talk about Peterson and Hess' great game on Saturday, Sanders looked the best and had three outstanding outings. He completely dominated and the "hit" he allowed on Sunday was definitely foul.

I give him allot of credit, he looked as bad as a pitcher could look for basically the whole season, but he kept working and it paid off big time for us.
