Probably not, which is likely why Casey allowed him to keep going.maxduck wrote:I'm just a casual observer of baseball but is overuse a valid concern when it is the last game of the season?
The kinds of pitches you throw matter too and Abel was not throwing much heat early and he also stayed away from his curveball for much of the game. Throwing changeups all game long also helped him stay fresh. If this was say a month ago where he saw this kind of work load then the argument holds water. If this was an osaa pitch count however, then I think he would have only been able to throw less than 25 pitches in that game.greenyellow wrote:Probably not, which is likely why Casey allowed him to keep going.maxduck wrote:I'm just a casual observer of baseball but is overuse a valid concern when it is the last game of the season?
I'm not at all saying they are guilty by association. It's the fact they were okay with him still being on the team, the administration could have stood up, the coaches could have stood up and the players could have stood up and said no. Instead they chose not to. It's afterthought to say he didn't factor in, once again making it about his athletic ability and his contributions.Phalanx wrote:That's a pretty extreme response and not very realistic. Obviously, what Heimlich did when he was 15 was disgusting, and it seems fair to me that he didn't get drafted and may never be able to play on a major league team, or at least will have to take a more difficult path to major league success. It doesn't seem fair that everyone else around him be considered guilty by association, or that a whole university should be judged by an act that occurred years ago in a different state. It would be one thing if someone on the team was actively engaging in such evil, but this is something from the fairly distant past.pudgejeff wrote:Honestly I can't believe anyone can support them with him on the team. It's sad to me people are able to brush past things like that just to see their team win, or in this case not even their team win.Phalanx wrote:What a pitching gem tonight. Is it wrong to be glad they didn't bring in Heimlich at the end?
The umpires in college are not great on balls and strikes. You could see the Arkansas players looking at the ump shaking their heads. Still, 5 to 0 is pretty hard to argue with. Nice series by the Beavers. I'm glad they won, even though their fans can be annoying.
Anyway, as pointed out above, Heimlich didn't even factor in the CWS victory. So I feel like it's okay for me to be glad for them, your virtue-signalling notwithstanding.
Media Reports say that the Royals are very interested in him. But after this world series appearance will see, I think he'll land somewhere and I'm not supporting him. But you guys do realize he's no longer a registered sex offender? Again I'm not defending him, but there's more to the story than what the media blasted with him before from what I understand. I don't know the facts, the only fact I know is he's no longer registered sex offendernogerO wrote:I'd say Heimlich may have played himself out of a shot at the show. Karma is a bitch.
Completely wrong, the only reason anyone found out about this was because he wasn't registering as he was supposed to be doing and was charged for it.Alan wrote:Media Reports say that the Royals are very interested in him.
