Question:
The pitchers playing in US national team are often invited to this national team? I.o.w. they weren't fresh-ones, first time in the team?
If answer is: "
YES"
In my knownedge the US-national team is ALWAYS playing by the ISF-rules, just as all other national teams. So in my view there's no excuss for the pitcher not taking two sec's before the pitch. And now PU has no other choise than call the IP... (over and over again)
I've watched the <19 USA-team playing (and winning) the World Championships in Enschede (Netherlands). Even the juniors were taking the two sec's...
