They’re going to have to carry that big donkey out on a stretcher. If he really threw 120+ just five days ago, this is getting pretty close to silly.

Sad that they'd risk a kid's future in baseball for one game.

Wonder if they think they need this game to secure an NCAA spot?  I personally don't think so, but no idea what the coaches believe.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Need the DP to end the threat....

And as I typed that....they did it!

The way their coach seemed to make an arse of himself earlier in the game ... he may just be an arse ... (don’t know anything about him)

I still think it's poor judgement as a coach no matter what they think. As I've said before....the damage is cumulative and they are putting Hjelle' s future at risk.

Well D1baseball has them as a 3 seed and one of the last five in, so I can certainly understand them going for broke here.  Understand the concern about Hjelle's future, but coaches also have to do what's in the best interest of the other guys in the dugout too.  They deserve every opportunity to win and keep playing.  It's an unfortunate situation.

Somebody sit on a fastball, please.

It's short sighted. He can't ride Hjelle like that all the way through the NCAA. That kid was spent.

Venter trying to but for some reason he can’t put that bat on the ball today

Just find a gap.  That's all I ask.  In this park, that's more than enough.

You must not have been watching him pitch.....he was as effective at the end of his time on the mound as when he began.  .   .

I certainly see the merit of it but when you go well over that mark and you do it in a matter of 5 days that’s a lot. Especially since he’s a tall guy and that arm has to whip a lot more than a more avg height pitcher. I just don’t get it, but maybe they’ve found a way it works for him 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Julien up with runners on 1st and 2nd 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Things getting a little uncomfortable on the mound. 

[Brad_ATX 13,654]
