how many of y'all dumped trump

I think the most live pitches I had in a game was in the 130s. We didn't keep track, had to check the book after the game. Didn't give up many hits, but was wild and had a ton of walks, and my personal favorite, the 4 K inning. :rockin

1). Any coach or dad who lets their kid throw 200 pitches in a day should go to jail.

2). Baseball is not in decline in Florida. Matter of fact it's too watered down.

1.) A complete (7 inning) game with a lot of deep counts, pregame warmups, and warmup pitches between innings is pretty close. I never had any arm problems until after I quit playing. A good throwing motion (i.e.- not throwing "all arm") helps reduce a lot of the strain. And prior to HS, most kids don't have the muscle development to put all that much strain on the arm. You tend to heal a lot faster at that age as well. Do you make your kids play flag football?

2.) Blasphemy! You are no longer welcome here. [insert delusions, non sequiturs, and other nonsense]

200 total is a tad bit high even including warm ups. I coach travel ball. (14U) A kid would not last 3 months doing that. Our tournaments (USSSA, AAU, CFBL and Perfect Game) all have daily and weekend inning limits. Usually 6 in a day but if you pitch more than 4 in a day you are done for the next day and no more than 9 for the weekend.

As travel and high school feeder league go.

20 pre-game
5 to 7 between innings.
75 to 85 max per game

Maybe different in high school.



You only need to pitch a whole game in semis or championship game. Most teams have 7 to 9 pitchers.

Things have changed over the last 25 years. I see pussification is not exclusive to football.

Pitch limits make far more sense than inning limits. It's tough to justify 21 pitches in 7 innings (hypothetically, of course) being worse than 100 in 3-2/3. 20 pregame warmup pitches is really low, too.

Are teams bigger now? My HS team had 7-9, but I'd say it was more like 4 starters and 2 relievers when I was younger.

I didn't like AAU. Played most of my ball at East Cobb.

I seem to recall inning limits (or at least starts limits) in some tournaments. Time limits were the worst though. Team up by 1 with little time left?: 4 pitch walk, 3 pick off attempts, ball 1, 3 more pick off attempts, ball 2, mound visit... I'm sure you're familiar with this bs.

It's harder to enforce pitch count limits and requires honesty since the individual teams would be responsible. Inning limits are handled by the umpires. (There are usually no official score keepers). It's not a perfect system, but yes a pitcher could throw 100 in 3 innings. In this scenario I doubt he would make it past the first inning if he is pitching that bad.

Travel = inning limits
8th Grade Feeder team = pitch counts

It's all for arm safety. Florida leads the nation in shoulder surgeries in youths under 18 since we literally play ball year round. My son has played in dual leagues for four years. In this scenario, I have to manage his arm rest league to league. Example: He pitched the whole game last night for 8th grade team. 5 innings, approx 7O pitches. We didn't play in travel tourney this past weekend, but if we did I probably would not have let him pitch last night.

And yes there are time limits and coaches who milk the clock. Nothing has changed there.

I think the fact that I threw a lot of different pitches, and the way I threw them, actually helped my arm. My curve was easy on the arm, but murder on the ring finger. Blister would usually form and pop by the 2nd. I rarely threw as hard as I could unless I was trying to get them to chase eye level fastballs or chin music to set up the curve.

Pitcher vs hitter and baserunner vs pitcher mind games are among the best in sports. People who think baseball is boring don't understand the game. :happyno

When I played you couldn't pitch on back to back days or in 2 games in the same day. As a starter. I only came in as a reliever once in my life because I could not make the beginning of the game lol

It was one of my favorite baseball moments though cuz I got there he had me warm up and I came in for the bottom of the last inning and struck out all 3 batters to end the game. :rock

If you played little league (I am not insinuating you did), you lived by a "days rest schedule" depending on how many pitches you threw.

John Rocker FTW!!!!!

Yeah I did. I knew there were definite limits. And yeah it was awesome. I didn't throw hard or anything I was just really good with location

Looks like typical thread typical deflections

Ignore all the baseball faggotry and this might be the second-funniest thread on the site.
