I haven't seen anything quite that egregious.....But yeah it can be rough. My oldest son pointed out there are programs that have no guidelines around rest after getting hot too many times during a game. For example his team has something like if you get hot once, sit, hot again, come in you can only go 1IP. If you get hot 2x don't come in you need a day a rest. I'm sure my numbers are off but you get the picture. So there are well run low level D1 programs.

So what would you say about a 40 pitch bull pen on a Thursday, got hot on Friday, got hot on Saturday, got hot on Sunday and then went into the game and threw 60 pitches? I calculate a minimum of 160-180 pitches over 4 days. First gameplay after TJ.
