QUOTE(SCARfan1624 @ May 11 2007 - 06:53 PM) 826457542[/snapback]In reality because the new coach apparently has some screwed up problem with taking pitchers out. He has been known this season to leave them in far too long, and the team has suffered because of it for the most part.

 

But...

 

On the other hand the kid was dominating the Rutledge hitters in the first game that PF won 15-2. He went six innings and they only scored two runs. I guess the coach could have thought "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" because in the second game he went five scoreless before he was pulled. Pf then brought in a freshmen lefty that Rutledge couldn't hit either.

 

No way coach was going to get by with pitching the young man 11 innings.

i was also at the game, the kid had a good pitching performance. he didn't have much velocity and had the rutledge batters out front all day. they could not wait on it, and it was very disturbing to see. i've seen them hit faster pitchin all over the ball field. the saddest thing to see was the umpires didn't know that there was a rule against it. the umpires should know the rules more than anyone but there were numerous people there including me who knew that you could not pitch more then 10 innings in 2 days without a 24 hour rest period. hopefully it will get better next year.

I just think it is humorous that Rutledge tried to beat PF with a technicallity because they couldn't beat them by playing the game. It shows thier character.

 

i think it is humourus that you dont have a problem with them breaking rules to play..then why have rules?

Put the blame where the fault lies. The PF coach violated well stated pitching rules. If it was intentional, shame on him. If he made a mistake, lesson learned.

I feel sorry for his kids. The pitcher in question did not have to pitch that many innings for PF to beat an inferior Rutledge team.

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
