Softball needs a pitch limit or innings limit

The game at Eagleville last night is exactly the reason softball should have a pitch limit or innings limit like baseball.  Eagleville has a very strong left handed freshman pitcher and by the 3rd inning she was spent!  She was making a terrible face on every pitch and obviously in serious pain. Working and twisting her arm after every pitch.  The catcher even stopped to come talk once.  Their a**hole coach never once came out to talk to her or check on her  and I'll say the same for her a**hole parents.   That is a shame they treat her like that.  There is absolutely no way in this world she will make it to her senior year without surgery.  If she makes it at all.  Shame on you coaches.  TSSAA needs to do something to save the poor girl from coaches like that!

100% agree. I know some other pitchers that are going to be hanging on by a thread when the district tournament starts!

. How many future D1 athletes have you coached. That kid has the best trainers and doctors looking after that arm money can buy. She was hit by a line drive is the only pain she was feeling. Also why don’t you come to to there next game and say it to her dads face instead of posting it online. If it would have been some kid throwing meatballs down the middle you wouldn’t have said a word.

Still doesn’t mean she wouldn’t get hurt because of the best she has. You can get over worked as a athlete.

I think she’s in good hands. 

No one is say she isn’t but you are acting like she can’t get hurt by being overworked or used. Her stuff on Twitter is pretty cool. The young lady works out hard and really practices hard at ball. I show my daughter her Twitter clips.

Do not need a pitch count for softball. They can pitch every day without hurting arm. More likely to be mentally fatigued.

I am not really for a pitch count, but I do fear that this logic is flawed to some degree. The "natural motion" argument, although correct, doesn't account for "unnatural force" placed on the shoulder, elbow, etc. Coaches should pay more attention to pitch counts for kids and not overuse them. However, time off is also something that many softball pitchers do not get. In a calendar year a pitcher will go from high school (in Tennessee) preseason/practices/games to summer travel ball to fall travel ball all while still taking "lessons". Therein lies the problem.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
