Perez should've been pitching today no doubt

What are your credentials to make this statement?  You're more informed than a coach who has 700+ wins in his career?

I'm not sure if you're questioning the coaching move or Mario's toughness here.  Either way, you're out of line.

"Out of Line" will likely by his next username.

Just disappointing that's all.  Here Carthage did what few teams do jump on 1 of the best pitchers in the history of D3 and they don't have their ace out their to take advantage.  Carthage was very fortunate to get an at large as was Point and yet Point takes advantage of their 2nd life and throws their ace in Delorit.  Of course they have a great coach and it's certainly not his fault that guys arms are tired.  1 things for sure Lechnir would've put his top pitcher out there even if he had thrown 9 the day before and that's why I still have respect for him.  He'll do whatever it takes to win.

Didn't Oshkosh get knocked out a regional a few years back and Lechnir never threw his ace?

[pickleshiner]

You may be right about it because I was never able to verify what happened.  I'm pretty sure your talking about Reubens and I was told he had an arm injury and could not go.  I read your post about Perez and that he's been struggling lately and may have a tired arm so I'm fine with it that he didn't go yesterday.  All I said was it was disappointing because if he were healthy I really believe Carthage would've won that game and made the regional very interesting.

Nice to see live stats are working well......

[BoBo]

...remember, Sidearm is state of the art...!!  

...8 innings in 30 minutes has to be a new record...

[pickleshiner]

Is Super Mario pitching for Carthage?  Does Aurora have any other quality pitching besides Salazar?

[BigPoppa]

Can anybody find a live stats or audio feed of Carthage/Aurora?

This is nothing like the disappointment of last year for Carthage when they went to the series with Ruffie getting hurt or in the off-season when they lost a player at the age of 19, or when Llanas and Ferro decided not to return to school for this season...

As for Point and their ace...obviously he wasn't hurt...easy decision.

As for Lechnir...I have heard nothing good about the man from people he has recruited and people who played for him.  Total azzhat was one quote.  Anyone who's willing to place winning above the health of a pitcher (as in your example) doesn't deserve respect...

stats just came up...Carthage up 4-1 in the top of the 4th.

[mwunder]

Carthage up 7-2 on a Mike Petti 3 run HR in the 7th.

[BigPoppa]

Carthage pulls Perez after 6 with a 7-2 lead and Rohe promptly loads the bases... now 7-3 with bases loaded and still only one out. Carthage is in trouble here.

[BigPoppa]

Carthage hangs on to win 9-5.

Carthage plays at 1pm tomorrow vs. the loser of St. Thomas and Stevens Point. How odd is it that Carthage could face the Tommies again?
