Haha, I am in the midst of putting the finishing touches to my dissertation so my nerd level is quite high right now. Its actually quite disturbing...

What crow is there to eat? He did a good job keeping Georgia down for the most part today. Coleman still shouldn't have pitched on Friday.

Again, it was planned by a professional well in advance, and it worked. Not only did it work, but it was vindicated when Georgia showed how quickly they could score against even our best pitchers.

So, "Coleman still shouldn't have pitched on Friday." just looks like an uninformed opinion, while PM looks like a coach that knows what he is doing.

First, off I wasn't even part of the crowd questioning it the night of. However, I will not admit that I am wrong because a single data point is not enough evidence to prove me wrong.

So what, exactly, has proven you right?? If you're not right, you're wrong.

Where is hancheye? He needs to be on here too! He is the one that is spewing off at the mouth about how bad of a job the the coach and team is doing. He's the one that needs to eat some crow, as a matter of fact he would out eat all of you!

He is the king of all crow eaters

because he's pitched mostly on sunday this year and has been great

he pitches on saturday this weekend and isnt that good

thats how

You throw a couples days prior to a start. Why is this so hard to understand. Sports fans with zero knowledge of how the game works.

Wow...thanks for enlightening us.....So you assume that bullpen sessions are full throttle to pitchers? Throwing in a game and throwing in a bullpen session are not the same.

Thought an "outside" opinion may be helpful...

Dr. John A. Bagonzi is a former pitcher in the Boston Red Sox organization, current director of the Championship Pitching Camp, and author of The Act of Pitching, published by Pitching Professor Publications.

I often pitched batting practice the day after I pitched a game. This in retrospect was seriously wrong as I developed some arm trouble later. I got over it and returned to strong arm pitching as soon as I got on a balanced throwing program. What a starting pitcher does between his starts regarding throwing is as important as pitching the game itself. Make no mistake about throwing - it is the life blood of a successful pitcher and any successful baseball program must incorporate a consistent regular throwing regimen for its pitching staff. While idiosyncrasies exist between pitchers and some thrive on extra throwing between starts, others like a reduced amount of throwing to enhance their power and concentration. A good average program for starting pitchers regarding throwing should look like this:

Day 1: PITCH - GAME

Day 2: Take day off - don't touch baseball- do some shagging and maybe some running - for those who feel they need to throw - very light game of catch.

Day 3: Work off mound in bullpen -10-12 minutes - 60 to 65% velocity.

Day 4: Work off mound - concentrate on rotation - 70% velocity - 12-15 minutes.

Day 5: PITCH

the fact that you think a bullpen session = throwing in a live game makes me chuckle.
