thoughts on a D1 team quitting during game?

What's on your mind?

PDad is this common to only have two pitchers on a D1 roster?

Seems like poor recruiting or people just don't want to play for the guy...

As I posted, they had a 3rd pitcher that reportedly is no longer on the team, even though she's still listed on the team roster. She pitched 12.2 innings in 6 appearances up to March 14. You'd think he would have found and developed at least an emergency replacement for her.

3 pitchers is light at any level - especially with a schedule that is predominantly double headers - because you have no cushion if a player is injured or leaves.

they have a freshman walk-on (Funderlich) who was a pretty good high school pitcher. she's played in some games as a batter, so presumably she was available and could have thrown an inning. also, their #1 pitcher sleith was available but they didn't want to pitch her in a non-conference game. not to mention anyone else on the roster who has pitched somewhere along the line and could have taken an inning of mop-up duty. point being, they had options if they really wanted to finish the game.

What a douche comment on all levels. Put down both schools, along with those in D2 & NAIA.

So thankful you feel that special.

Life must be harder for you.
