That is interesting... although, I guess in his defense...
Of the best four P's we've had in recent years, three of the dads would and often did make it known that they thought their kid should be rolled out again after an earlier-in-the-week start in order to "save the team". The staff put far more concern and restrictions than the parents of these college bound P's.
What? They threw a pen with a P instructor the day before a start? You're supposed to keep us informed of... Dad - "he's a bulldog, he can handle it".
And, yes, I have certainly seen coaches abuse. Heck, I even learned the hard way once that my players keeping pitch counts weren't always "attentive".
Also, that article is incorrect... says a P can only throw 110 pitches in a week. 110 Monday, he can come back Friday for another start. He could even throw another 110 if he was wild and didn't reach his outs limit. Not sure that part is ideal.
