If Petersen said he wasn't available, he wouldn't be out there. He wanted the ball to win a regional.109 pitches on Friday. Over 50 pitches today. It's inexcusable. The AD needs to step in and protect the athletes.
players will always want to compete. it's the coaches responsibility to look out for their health.If Petersen said he wasn't available, he wouldn't be out there. He wanted the ball to win a regional.
I'm sure he did. I'm also quite confident that a) he may not be able to realize that he could be reaching a point of fatigue where severe damage is imminent and b) even if he was starting to tire, he wouldn't say anything.If Petersen said he wasn't available, he wouldn't be out there.

Boy, talk about someone not knowing what they are talking about.109 pitches on Friday. Over 50 pitches today. It's inexcusable. The AD needs to step in and protect the athletes.
ok, pitching guru! from another school in our conference? ... it was his throw day. I'm so glad you have taken over as the expert on what every pitcher is capable of!109 pitches on Friday. Over 50 pitches today. It's inexcusable. The AD needs to step in and protect the athletes.
He’s not 10 years old. This is BS. Coaches across the country did the same thing today.I'm sure he did. I'm also quite confident that a) he may not be able to realize that he could be reaching a point of fatigue where severe damage is imminent and b) even if he was starting to tire, he wouldn't say anything.
It can't be the pitcher's decision there.
As many already covered here this happened across the country today… but maybe they should have even been more clear… UConn put Peterson in (pitched Friday and you’re losing your mind over it) but no mention of Maryland pitching their Saturday starter today… completely ridiculous comment for almost too many reasons to mention (teams all over the country took it to a far greater extreme than Penders did and has been the case for years - oh right, then let’s suspend everyone and especially Penders cause uhhh others doing terrible things doesn’t give Penders the license to do a less terrible thing / something that might not actually have been bad at all given very well might be Peterson’s throwing day but…. Yea)… Penders and his pitching coach I’m guessing played higher level baseball than you so I’ll go with their judgment on this one as opposed to taking your argument to its logical conclusion which would require suspending every team’s manager who played today (or something like that)….I played higher level baseball than most people here. I know what this kind of crap does to the players. Other coaches doing it doesn't make it better. It's wrong. It shouldn't happen.
I know, it's crazy how many innings Reggie Crawford threw..."he's a young kid it's fine" mhmm that's why all these kids are ruining their arms and getting tommy john in HS and college
I am not pleased that AP threw 50 pitches last night, Off 2 days rest. MD, however, threw a starter off 1 day rest twice against us. TWICE. My point isn’t that two wrongs make a right. My point is that it’s not realistic to think a coach or a program are going to play with one arm tied behind their backs and not take advantage of opportunities that their competitors are. NCAA baseball isn’t a morality test — it’s big time sports.109 pitches on Friday. Over 50 pitches today. It's inexcusable. The AD needs to step in and protect the athletes.
