Yeah this was a topic of conversation last year at the coaches convention in Waco. The larger classifications have been doing it throughout the state for a few years now. I like the idea personally. You see more of what you would likely see in a playoff series.
The way I understand it, it is a new rule that was passed fairly late so the officials are having to get used to it. Yes the official on the sideline should have thrown his flag, but the head official did the right thing. Not much different than waiving a flag off. Just get the call right.
Helps some in the fact that Little League implemented similar pitch counts a few years back so the kids are already used to it. Just gives more kids the chance to get on the bump. Coaches job will to just have more of them ready to compete.
Will hopefully add three games back to our schedules. Please contact your superintendent to let them know you support adding games back, and encourage them to vote yes. This is not just a baseball issue. Pretty much every sport except football lost games.
