It is that time of year again. No, I don’t men the College World Series, I mean the almost annual freakout by pro baseball writers over college pitch counts.
This year’s entry is Barry Svrluga of The Washington Post, who tries to camouflage what is actually a fan’s histrionic freak out over their potential #1 pick not getting wrapped up in bubble wrap with the headline A college ace threw 124 pitches — and MLB teams grimaced.
The subheading is far more honest, “ If you root for the Washington Nationals, you should root against the LSU Tigers,” because there really isn’t much to the complaint.
