And I’ll be honest… I don’t love Kade Anderson. I feel badly that his coach goes against any responsible level of usage for a 20 year old for his own personal gain. I don’t think any major league hurler has touched 130 pitches in a game this season and he’s done it twice. He’s thrown 100 or more pitches I think 11 times this year.
Tarik Skubal has thrown 100 pitches once this season.

Never seen him pitch, so can’t comment about him. That’s pretty straight forward and not subject to any question.

Think there's like a 1% chance he's even available at this point. After last night's performance, I think he's likely the #1 overall pick. And even then, I think Los Angeles, Seattle, and Colorado seem unlikely to pass on him.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 07:39 am Good morning.

I appreciate your comment. Understand I am a loyal LSU fan so I recognize my bias. I share your concern about the pitch count. One time during the season he went 135 pitches. However the coach does not overuse the rest of the staff. Anderson appears to be a pitching freak. I don’t remember Skenes being used to that extent. Also Skenes is the perfect example of putting players first. Few know but Skenes swung a big bat. But LSU would not let him hit fearing he would get hurt pointing out his main MLB value would be as a pitcher. Also LSU has had numerous pitchers put in a slow recovery process with no rush to get back on the mound.An Old Friend wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 09:58 amI don’t like how the coach puts team above player.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 07:45 amYou didn’t watch CWS last night game one.Cranny wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 07:41 amCan’t comment because have never seen him pitch.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 07:39 am Good morning.

I watched him pitch a few innings of his last CWS game. That definitely qualifies me to comment.

I agree with your concern but I’m not sure your coaching criticism is fair.

100 pitches is not overuse. Your looking at two guys went to a great program, won National titles , high draft picks, no injuries as a result.An Old Friend wrote: ↑23 Jun 2025 13:02 pmAnderson is not a pitching freak.

I agree with your concern but I’m not sure your coaching criticism is fair.
Skenes threw at least 100 pitches 12 times and 120 or more in 3 of his last 4 outings. His high for the Pirates is 108.
LSU’s coach abuses their aces and will continue to do so.
I agree with AOF here. Why do you think a 19-21 yr old and a collegiate coaching staff are more responsible than major league teams and their team of specialists?Cardinals4Life wrote: ↑23 Jun 2025 13:15 pm Dude, they were competing for a CWS Title. It's not abuse at all. Pitch count is simply a number. Not all pitches are created equal. The game has gotten completely soft anymore with usage, hence a partial reason for so many more arm injuries. (The max effort, high spin is another major factor.) I'm certain the kid was consulted. He will have a long break before he has to pitch again. He'll be fine!
