Rutledge protest PF game

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.

Like I said it was pretty obvious the rule was broken but it was even more obvious Rutledge got spanked.

PF got spanked for breaking the rules

You can seriously sit there and tell yourself Rutledge didn't get out played?

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?

[williebgovs04]

Rules are rules no matter how bad PF whip whoever, when u cheat u are suposed to be called out on it. PF would have done the same thing if the tables were turned.

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.

[goosevol]

If that rule wasn't there then coaches would wear kids arms out by pitching them all the time. The rule is there to protect the player.

The same problem arose a few years ago against our school,theT$$AA upheld our protest.
