[QUOTE="TCUExaminer, post: 561356, member: 48078"] QUOTE(swimmerbabe11 @ May 18 2010, 08:58 AM) [snapback]561000[/snapback] No we wouldn't. Besides..that simply isn't how college baseball works. We would drop a lot more weekend games because by the time we got to sunday, our pitcher's arms would be about as useful for throwing a baseball as I would be. It might make it to the catcher, but it sure as hell isn't going to win a baseball game. There are NCAA rules about how much you can use a pitcher for a reason. And we try to save guy's arms for a reason. I think that our pitching staff is one of our strengths, we don't have very many high-scoring (opponent-wise) games outside of the Airforce series and the Baylor debacle. Both of which several pitchers got rocked and one where the climate is made for batters. It's my own fault, but what I was trying to say and what was read are two completely different things. Also, there are no NCAA rules as to how often a pitcher can be used. In particular, Austin Wood threw 13 innings in one game just last season for Texas. If there were rules, there would have been major ramifications for that situation besides the usual "Texas over-works their pitchers" complaint that has gone around for years. Aside from that small argument though, the point I was trying to make was "in a perfect world, our weekend guys could pitch the weekend games too and there stands a good chance our record would look a lot better if that was the case. Either way though, I still take this team over last season's. The nature of the beast though is that everyone will look at the fact that the Frogs struggled against lower-ranked teams but competed very well with the top ones. [/QUOTE]
