Lots of great arguments on the books.  I have several opinions and most of them reside with the kids.  Yes, a competitive kid is going to want the ball, that obvious, it is up the coach in that situation to know what is best for the kid. 

Anybody who tries to fool themselves into thinking that just because a kid says they are "good to go" that they are truely good to go is flat out stupid.  There are no rules against the number of pitches you can throw for a reason, and the is because the coaches should be taking care of the student/athletes, not so you can ruin a student/athletes life in order to get a win, that is just stupid.  The student/athlete should be the number one priority for a program and that is why CSS has won my support over the years.

As far as the games, it sounds like the tourney was fantastic... and I wish i could have been there to witness.  I would like to congratulate the boys from up north as they once again showed a ballsy performance to win the UMAC.  I would also like to say "good work" to presentation and bethany as the better these guys get, the better it makes the UMAC and gives css some work within the conference, something that has been lacking for years!!   

CSS puts up 6 in the first against Northwestern and is coasting with Jeff Adams still going strong with a 5 hitter through 7.  Looks like CSS vs. Bethany at 8:00 tonight up in Duluth... I'm guessing thats gonna be a cold one!

Wow... that place is legit!  Should be a great event!
