shortened rest and after throwing like 115 pitches in his last outing. Not worth the injury risk to me. We're not going to improve our seeding unless we legit make the ACCCG.

Pitch him on Thursday against NC ST if we win Wednesday.

The ACC tournament doesn’t matter save the pitching for regionals

I wouldn't go that far. If we win 3 in the tourney, we will be on the bubble

I agree...take our chances with someone else and hope the bats are cooking.

I'd tend to agree, Bailey only threw one inning this weekend, so I'd start him in the first game maybe. Then after him you go back to the normal rotation starting in game 2 (assuming we win game one.)

I see it both ways though, the idea of saving arms for later makes sense on paper, but it's single elimination now and we have to win the games to advance, so saving guys for later doesn't help if we lose in the first game.

I once ready a quote, not sure who it was from, but they said "The human arm is not meant to throw 100 mph for prolonged periods of time. Except for Nolan Ryan. His arm was designed just for that." Still crazy how he pitched so hard, for so long, and never really had a significant arm injury.

I’m not sure why guys can’t throw on 4 days rest anymore. I’m assuming like every thing else, it started at the MLB level where they pay guys so much their scared to throw them, which seems very counterproductive.

It used to be you would long toss / soft toss when it’s not your day to pitch , especially the day after you threw 100+pitches. And considering pitchers are getting shut down much more now than back in the 80’s and 90’s, I’m assuming what they do now isn’t working.

But yes, he should be more than ready to throw Wends. if the matchup calls for it.

It seems like Bakich and Belanger stick with that "1 hr of rest per pitch thrown" recommendation and Knaak threw something like 115 pitches on Thursday (can't remember exactly.) So that would mean he needs 5 days rest and he'd be good to pitch Wednesday by their standard. In my opinion, if they decided to hold him it would probably be for matchup reasons, not rest reasons.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

that's great but guarantee he hasn't been trained to pitch on shorter rest
