Reply to "In Game Coaching Decision"

I think you know why the coach would do this... hint, to win a game...

California has pitching rules that limit number of pitches per week and number of days rest that are required for various pitch counts in games.  Regarding pitching in two games on the same day, here is from the CIF-SS Q&A:

Q: May the same pitcher appear in two different games on the same day?

A: Yes. However, they may only do so if they threw 30 pitches or less in the first game and are not required to rest. Also, they may not throw more than 110 pitches total for the day.

If you lived in California, it looks like the coach would have violated the pitching rules.  You should check your state rules so at least you know if this situation is allowed or not.

If it were my kid I probably would have had a conversation about pitching load prior to the season, but better late than never.
