I disagree with the Outkick viewpoint. We have to have rules to protect kids who can’t protect themselves. Otherwise, overzealous coaches can ruin arms at will.

 

[knoxvol52]

Pickens going close game for LVols hopefully damn she is all that

 

[knoxvol52]

I think it's safer over here the train in the game forum, possibly the train should fire up

I agree 1,000%!
Hell, I know little league coaches that would(and have tried) to pitch a kids arm off, just to get a win in a 9-10 year old rec league.
My boy got upset just this week, because he was dealing and feeling good but his coach pulled him because he reached his pitch count for the week.
I had to explain the reasoning to him.

Auburn poised to take the series against LSU, KY poised to sweep SC, Aggies within a run of FL and taking that series. Incredibly balanced league this year.

Well, a WVU pitcher (who was already done for the weekend) was just thrown out of their game for taking props outside of the dugout after a WVU homer
