[quote]He threw on Friday... Saturday, Sunday, and today would make 3 days. Just because he threw today does not mean he didn't rest for the majority. Especially considering he threw at 11am on Friday. He's working on over 72 hours of rest... math! [/quote] You have literally made something up, t...

[quote]I've seen it go both ways. Examples: Bertman pitching Ben McDonald in the 9th against Stanford at the 1989 CWS and Toy Cook taking him deep. Madison Baumgardner throwing 5 shut out innings in relief to clinch the World Series on two days rest. It was not an unprecedented move, happen...

[quote]We’re not in a fricking courtroom you chode. [/quote] The rules of the courtroom, just like all basic rules of law, come from moral laws that people have lived by since the beginning. If you want to say something about somebody, you better back it up. Otherwise, keep quiet and don't assume...

[quote]Because, like the rest of their hitters would have done, he was sitting off speed because Ack couldn’t locate his fastball. [/quote] [i]Oh, so you know what the hitters were thinking, better than they did?[/i]... See how that works, smart guy? Some guys struggle middle in, so you pitch the...

I don't care at all after LSU is out. That's not anything to do with how I feel about college baseball. I feel the exact same away in every sport, at every level, after my team is eliminated. I don't care about other teams, so why watch them? I have a list of teams who I want NOT to win, but I won't...

[quote]You were right. Ack didn’t walk the guy. He did struggle to put the last 2 batters away, getting to full counts on both because his fastball command was non-existent. He’s also struggled with command all season. [/quote] Wow... He s"struggled" to put hitters away. I guess you would have...

[quote]Well you clearly know more ball than coaches around the country. Why are you watching from your couch?[/quote] This is a tired, weak, intellectually lazy response. Coaches do dumb things all the time. That's why people get fired. Coaches make these kinds of decisions, and it often ba...

I've seen how these "put our best pitcher in, in a situation he'd otherwise have no business being in, and hope it works out" decisions before. It usually doesn't go well. When a pitcher is dominating, you leave him alone. That's hot it works, unless actually have someone RESTED who you know you can...

It's on him, it's on Jay for pulling Ack after he just blew them away in the 8th, it's on White, it's on the terrible defensive positioning in the 9th, it's on the entire lineup for doing nothing after the 3rd inning. North Carolina didn't deserve win. We handed them the last two runs. I've nev...

[quote]They weren’t very many doubters. What I remember is that many grouped Skenes in with three other guys as the best amateur pitching prospects in the MLB Draft era (1965 - present). Skenes, Strasburg, Prior, and McDonald. That was the list. [/quote] I didn't say there were many. But there we...
