No idea why Marohn threw any pitches. Truly no idea why he threw 80 some pitches. Absolutely no idea why he threw any pitches after 10 runs?!
So excited for Sunday when we need one more arm for a title and he can't go
he could absolutely throw Sunday if needed.
Not nearly to the effectiveness that would've been nice to have available.
How great was it last week to hand him the ball against wake to win a damn series for 4 innings and 60 pitches? That's out the door, man. If we get to Sunday and are spent on arms it's going to be so damn frustrating
He'd have three full days of rest after only throwing 80 pitches. It's a glorified bullpen session which he's done all year. MLB dudes make full starts in the postseason on three days rest. If I were Avent, I woulda pulled him an inning earlier to save 15 pitches or so, but 1-2 innings on Sunday is completely doable.
He's done it twice. BC and ND. 2.2 innings, 6 hits, 2 walks.
40 is a glorified bullpen. 82 in a tournament is not
40 pitches on Sunday is a glorified bullpen, which is my point. It's completely doable. 2 innings of history this season doesn't mean squat.
I can only imagine the outcry if Avent had trotted out some no name dude tonight and we got beat by Va Tech.. then followed up that with a loss to a really good Duke team. 0-2 in pool play and losing a chance to host a regional . Folks would have lost their mind.
So what's the outcry when we are 3 innings short on Sunday and get a 9 seed instead of an 8 and miss out on another title?
Dude calm down. We have enough arms to get through 3 games without Marohn.
How many times did we do that in the acc?
I can not believe it's controversial to want to have Marohn fresh for 4 innings!
It isn't, but there's nothing to be done about it at this point. The format of this tournament causes these same arguments every year. The primary reason I dislike it so much. If we had thrown a bullpen day like I wanted and won 18-17, or lost, we'd be having arguments in the other direction. It takes the fun out of it.
