Cecchini responds to criticism of Barbe baseball program by Jones

Rick Jones is a complete tool/douche/prick

the chechini news is germans. been that way for a long time. I've known tons of friends who played for him and against him and the story is the same.

fwiw, one of my good friends from high school had his arm destroyed by glen riding him in the playoffs one year

many kids have had their arms shot by the a-hole

he consulted Doiron's parents and Doiron himself

the confrontation with the player was prolly along the lines of, "you're going to go out there and pitch you motherfricker or else we'll all think that you're a fig"

I'm sorry... but it's ridiculous to expect ANYONE to throw 18 innings in 36 hours.

Even someone with the most basic command of baseball knowledge knows that's unsafe.

If you can't win without one particular pitcher on the mound in a back-to-back playoff situation, then I question whether your team should even be there. It's a team game, not "who has the best single pitcher."

People sure try their hardest to ruin the game of baseball. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm agreeing with Rick Jones.

"He went to a healing nun."

Regardless to who is right or wrong here, IMO the worst thing a college coach can do is alienate HS coaches, and more importantly call them out.

man it kills me but im taking rick jones' side on this one

it would be ironic if he was not...giving his success at the level he is now

The thing i dont get is that Cecchini says Doiron was hurt before the season, but then he was feeling better and supposedly throwing 94mph in the state championship. Well, would he not think it would be even more of a risk to do that to a kid who had already had arm troubles. That was just completely irresponsible to do that to the kid when he could've had a bright future in baseball.

while likely true its still a stupid thing for him to publicly go after him, its never smart to burn a bridge.

But maybe he thought its the best way to raise some awareness and save some kids down the road.
