Below are his stats from the NCC game.....

Isler 36 pitches 3 complete innings 1 hit 3 K's pitched to only 16 batters

 

I kidded him about not even breaking a sweat after he was done pitching against NCC the other day.

Obviously, not breaking a sweat in the NCC game did effect him. As he admittedly did not have much in his tank. IMO Nutini just getting over being sick is not a good enough reason to have Isler throw 91 pitches on 2 days rest. If this pitching staff is as deep as you all say, it was a great opportunity to have a younger, less experienced kid get some quality innings against one of the better hitting teams in the region.

I don't think anyone said the pitching staff is very deep at this point. IMO they have Isler, Nute, and Krumme and then Shumate is developing pretty well, but there is a big drop off. Regardless, Krumpelbeck is the coach and he made the decision, and he thought it would be beneficial for Isler to throw against "one of the better hitting teams in the region", and it worked. I talked to Isler yesterday and I assure you his arm is doing just fine.

 

I think it could have been good to get a less experienced pitcher some innings verse Ryle, but with the weather forecast of rain and snow, Krumps probably knew they wouldn't be playing this week and wanted his starter to get the innings.
