Tough spot, but with some minor tweaks (90 instead of 95, 20 instead of 23) this all would've been perfectly legal for even HS.

Is it a heavy workload? Yes. Is it too much? Probably. Did it cause TJ? Can't say

Before we put all the blame on the coach, he has a relationship with his players. He has to trust them when they say they're good to go the same way they have to trust him not to go overboard. Maybe the kid felt fine. Maybe he was sore, but thought he could push thru it to win a national championship. I know if mine were in the same situation, he would probably be out on the mound as well. Don't forget this isn't a Central High vs North High non conference HS game. You're talking Arkansas, MS State and the CWS. This is what the kids live for
