Why is a D-1 starter only throwing 4 inn? Is he coming off an injury?
Bombs away, Coogs blast 8 runs on #21 Wake Forest!

First game of the season. Itās not unheard of for some coaches to use nine pitchers one inning each the first week.

Yeah, especially when you might not have much starting depth behind him. I donāt know if thatās the case, but you donāt blow out your #1 in the first game of the season.

We beat a ranked team to start the season, and beat them in just about every category. Letās have a little bit of positivity. But yes, its only one game.
Hmmmmā¦.thatās strange. A four inning win is typical for 7 inning games but not 9. Either thatās a mistake or thereās some ruling Iāve never heard of. Hopefully it sticks for him.

Yeah you normally wanna keep your starters around 80-85 max opening weekend or twoā¦. and his first inning was a heavy workload close to 30 pitches.

I think it becomes the scorerās decision - someone has to get the win.

There was NOTHING negative about my postā¦.after 5 years in a row of garbage itās going to take more than a gameā¦ā¦I even said I want to see where they are after 10-15 games.
So go worry about something else.
That must be the case because the 5th inning guy definitely didnāt deserve it and the 3rd pitcher qualified for the save.
if you declare an inning count before the game and go min of 3, you can get the win.
Interesting. Is that a college only rule?
Coogs to the CWS !!!

I donāt think so. Unless something recently changed that Iām unaware of, you still have to go 5 innings as a starting pitcher to get the W in the bigs.
I hadnāt heard anything and can find nothing on the subject. I figured Iād come out this year It feels like even the Athletic Department doesnāt care, but who knows.
Its been 2-3 years since I have been as I have to admit I have just not been motivated. I used to love buying old team gear, but I canāt seem to pull the trigger now a days.

Not trueā¦.it is the scorers discretion to give the W to whoever they think had the most impact on the win.
Especially when relief pitching was not goodā¦ā¦I have played in D-1 games where the starter got the win with less than 5 inningsā¦.this usually happens early in the year when starters are not stretched out yet.
The scorer has all the discretion.
