August 18, 20187 yr Top of the 11th. 0-0. Ump still calling this a strike. Yep. I’ve noticed that the umps have been calling outside strikes the entire series.

Yeah, they keep pounding home the point that they are volunteers, but damn, these umps need to get their head out of their asses. I’ve never umped a game in my life, but am pretty sure I could call a better game than that.
August 18, 20187 yr Yea I don’t understand the little league mile wide strike zone, I get they are trying to help the pitcher by widening it up but if the batter can’t reach the fucking ball because it’s 3 feet outside how can it be a strike? Seems like every year it’s like this, maybe not that extreme but they usually have a pretty wide strike zone.
August 18, 20187 yr I think it's a remnant from before they fixed the age rule and deadened the bats. It's no longer necessary because offense won't dominate as much with the new bats and younger players (even months make a difference at this age). Hopefully the umpires adjust. I mean if it's 0-0 in the 11th inning then you don't really need to be helping the pitchers out.
August 18, 20187 yr Canadian coach cracked me up... Firing up his team: "Okay, let's put the women and children to bed and let's go hunt for deer!"
August 19, 20187 yr Ha, ha, after Georgia’s loss, guess the first thing that hit the local sports talk shows this morning? Hawaii’s birth certificates. Wondering out loud how old is the kid who hit the HR.

Wondering out loud how old is the kid who hit the HR. They do have a point. It seems (without a roster) that Hawaii does have more eligible 13 year olds than other teams. Definitely have size, no matter the age. That was a classic game and can be very deflating for the team and fans of Georgia. Georgia has an excellent team. Bounced back with 3-0 win over Idaho. They will play the loser of the Post Oak/Staten Island game (Sunday, 10AM) at 7PM, Monday. Would rather see Post Oak not have to play them. Edited August 19, 20187 yr by torre

August 19, 20187 yr MLB players showing up for the game they play there tonight Pitcher for SW imploding Edited August 19, 20187 yr by Surly Bevo
August 19, 20187 yr The Phillies getting off the plane and being greeted by little leaguers is one of the most uninteresting things I've ever seen on television. So of course ESPN supersedes the actual game to show it.

August 19, 20187 yr Yes the reporting on the MLB arrival is a beating. Split screen while pitches are being delivered is real necessary.
August 19, 20187 yr Am I the only one who has zero interest in how or when the MLB players get to wherever they are going?

Starting pitcher (Bruno) for Staten Island was nails. Justin Verlander imitation. Post Oak vs Georgia, 7PM, Monday, ESPN2
August 19, 20187 yr Junior LL World Series Championship(12-14) is on ESPN2. Texas is representing the U.S. They are from Lufkin and I’m sure has many of the same players who lost to Japan in the finals of the LL WS last year. Quite a program.
August 19, 20187 yr this panama kid batting just got an infield single to score their first run. he was down 0-2 in the count and almost started crying.
August 19, 20187 yr Yeah, that was pretty bad. Pretty impressive to make contact on that curve considering he was clearly not in control of his emotions at that point. South Korea actually looks better than Japan to me so far. Should be a good game.
August 20, 20187 yr Author Post Oak vs Peachtree, Ga, today, 7PM, ESPN2 https://gc.com/t/summer-2018/texas-east-5b3aeb15396a0500018e8562/roster Post Oak roster lists 10 pitchers. Not sure, but Rook and Klosek may be the most experienced. Going to need a *Chad Hollingsworth type performance. *HOUSTON – Chad Hollingsworth pitched a complete game two-hitter to lead the Texas baseball team past Texas A&M, 4-1, and capture the 2014 Houston Regional Championship Monday night at Reckling Park. Making his first start since March 26, 2013 and just the sixth in his collegiate career, Hollingsworth came through with a gem. The sophomore right-hander put up zero's on the scoreboard in eight consecutive innings after allowing an unearned run in the first. https://texassports.com/news/2014/6/2/BB_0602145149.aspx?path=baseball
August 21, 20187 yr Just now, EuroHorn said: Texas gives up a two run homer with two outs. Game tied 5-5 bottom of sixth Georgia was down to their last strike twice. Choke city returns.
August 21, 20187 yr Georgia was down to their last strike twice. Choke city returns. You are some kind of special asshole ragging on 12 year old kids. These kids have accomplished more in their short life than you ever will. Oh and choke on this
August 21, 20187 yr Georgia coming in with a ton of momentum. POLL looks mentally defeated after that Georgia HR.
August 21, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, BrazilHorn said: Pitcher for Mexico was 5’9 211lbs as a 12 year old. Jeez.
August 21, 20187 yr 14 minutes ago, TonyTexas said: You are some kind of special asshole ragging on 12 year old kids. These kids have accomplished more in their short life than you ever will. I'm not ragging on 12 year olds you dumb dicksack, I'm laughing at Houston sports returning to form. To be perfectly honest, I'm now unbelievably impressed with that Goldstein kid, the pitcher. Dude got shelled, was on the verge of sending his team home but buckled down and finished the inning. Then went back out the next inning, got into more trouble and still kept his cool and got out of it again. That's very insane for a 12 year old on national TV. Pretty invaluable life experience and an A+ answer for job interviews when he's older.
August 21, 20187 yr Too many pitches getting eaten up for both of these teams given they have to win two more.
August 21, 20187 yr Espn 3 needs a parent cam channel pronto. These parents are life or death while their kids are the total opposite
August 21, 20187 yr You are some kind of special asshole ragging on 12 year old kids. These kids have accomplished more in their short life than you ever will. Oh and choke on this Do you happen to be a butthurt girly sissy?
