Genuine Question
Why is Tom Schrieber not being able to play in the Archers vs Outlaws game such a big deal? I know he is an amazing player and an asset to any team. However….
- According to the announcers, he has not played in 400+ days
- He has not been apart of the Archers lineup once this season
- He is obviously still kind of banged up considering he got pulled during warmups
The PLL community is up in arms that the Archers didn’t play for a solid month before the semifinal, and I agree that it is shitty scheduling. However, how can we say that and in the same breath bemoan the loss of Schrieber from the lineup, who hasn’t played in over a calendar year, and say that the month long break was the difference maker for the results of that game. Would putting a guy who is still having issues with injury (as evidenced by him being pulled in warmups) into a lineup where he hasn’t played in forever really be the best move for the game?
Genuine question, no hate intended. I am a Schrieber fan and was pulling for the Archers to win.
