When a relief pitcher is getting crushed, when is it enough? The scenario: U12 state tournament, extra innings, runner placed at 2nd base. The relief pitcher has been very effective to this point.
As happens in sports, everything went wrong and the totals for that last inning: 47 pitches, 14 batters, 12 runs, 6 hits, 3 BB, 4 wild pitches, 4 team errors and 1 pitcher, crying.
Fortunately, the rains came, literally. Should the pitcher been replaced? The team carries a total of 6 equally effective pitchers.
