Here's my two cents:

I said before the playoffs that the 120 pitches in the series totally disregards the main purpose of the rule - mandatory rest days. 

Also, there is a third official, as mandated by the GHSA, to keep the official pitch count. Why do you still leave it up to the coach to possibly break the rule? Shouldn't the third official have the authority to say to the HP umpire that the pitcher has reached his limit and he must be replaced at that time. 

 

I think the easiest way to address is to simply mandate that once a pitcher has exceeded his allowable pitch count, every pitch thrown thereafter will be ruled a "ball".

Can't imagine a coach would leave a kid in during a one run, winner take all game in that circumstance.

But in this case, no rule was even violated.

LoL. 

Ball five, ball five, ball five....
