Leiter out this week.

[Quincy A. Wagstaff]

.@VandyBoys RHP Jack Leiter has been scratched from his start today against Alabama as #Vandy continues to monitor his workload. He will get the weekend off from pitching. Obviously, something to keep an eye on going into next week. #MLBDraft #VandyBoys— Kendall Rogers (@KendallRogers) May 8, 2021

This is why you don’t throw kids 120 pitches in March. Why is that so hard for some coaches to figure out?

I don’t know why I’d pitch again as an amateur athlete if I’m Rocker or Leiter.

 

[anon1787432961]

Rocker is a starter in AAA right now. Possibly the bigs in a year or two.

Lieter is absolutely thrown too many innings. The decline started weeks ago.

Until we win a championship doing what we do and put a bunch of pitchers in MLB, I'll defer to the Vandy way. They'll get rest the next couple weeks. They don't have anything to prove in the tournament.

The “Vandy Way” is give out 2x as many scholarships as everyone else. The only place in America where the “Vandy Way” is even possible is Vandy.

Scholarships or no scholarships, they still develop pitchers as well or better than anyone else in the country.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

This won’t happen because our guys don’t have any quit in them, but i wouldn’t mind banging the first two games in Hoover to rest up for our regional.

Who has more TJ surgeries the last several years? Us or them? It's not them. Vandy knows what they're doing.

You're clueless. Arm damage is done before these guys get to campus. But even still, you can't trot them out there for that many pitches. It's just irresponsible.

I do wonder what their parents are thinking by allowing these huge counts. They have to realize what's on the line and no one would blame them for shutting them down. I get that 2 years ago they were all riding on emotion in that Duke Super Regional, so I guess the answer is to have set limits agreed upon ahead of time.

I wonder who knows more, Al Leiter or someone who watches rec league games on a bucket wearing coaching shorts and cleats?

 

[mcdawg22]

I think Tim Van Horn needs to get his starters’ pitch counts up.

I'd pull the Covid Card and do light workouts until the draft like so many football players did.

Why is 64 innings too many innings?

MLB starters throw 150+

Auburn football players are not known for smarts.

I don't know the latter guy (you must), but I'm pretty sure if younger Leiter ends up with TJ, then their protocol is not one I would employ. Biggest mistake that ignorant people make is thinking that ex-players make the best coaches.

By the way, say hi to your wife for me.

 

[Mobile Bay]

Survivor bias. You only make it there if you can throw 150 innings. Those who can't don't make it.

Plus it's a longer season.

You act like TJ is a career ender. That makes you a dumb ***. As do other many, many other things.

 

[GloryDawg]

Ole miss will catch them at the right time.

That might not be the worst thing in the world for our SEC title/Top 3 national seed chances.

Maybe but looking like we will do it without Hoglund. He’s having an MRI tomorrow and had forearm stiffness. Forearm issues are a big deal. I doubt he ever pitches at Ole Miss again. Been a tough year on Bianco with injuries.

I hope OM takes two next weekend. It would help us out tremendously.
