Field too small, base paths too short. This shit sucks.

Yup. The major’s division is a complete joke. To have 12 year olds playing at that distances is silly. They should be at least 50/70 by that age.

I remember when my oldest was of that age, our team played fall ball at 11 and then 45 games of travel ball at that size. We had to cut them off by Memorial Day to have them ready for 'LL rules and dimensions. They actually hated the smaller, less baseball games. Not to mention the toothpick bats.

I miss those days...

Why can't the kids lead off? I remember practicing diving back to first base on a pick off move at that age.

If they allowed lead offs these kids would steal every base standing up.

How may of these teams are filled with kids who are 13 and not 12? I know they were supposed to change the rule this year but backed off.

Damn that’s a really Big kid. He might want to start leaving some Paella for everyone else.

hawaii will win it all

i have 3 girls so all i do is watch to see these kids cry. watching teams that haven't lost yet is lame.

It seems like there are certain regions that produce an entire collection of vomitous people, from parents to kids. Fuck you Georgia and all your big earrings and kids named Cole with bad attitudes.

I just laugh at these kids that get so weird on the big stage. Either with arrogance, precociousness or imitating all level of pro players mannerisms without even knowing why.

Literally every kid that plays sports does the imitating other players thing. How is that weird?

They are still 12 year old kids. It's probably the only fun part about their parents all making them put in pro level amounts of work so they can one day hit the big leagues.

To be fair to those parents, its either year round travel sports or a massive drug habit.

For the parents or the kids?

Oh I am sure the parents are a real bunch to get to that level. I am not really laughing at them. More of a giggle.

Why not both? The kids can live through the parents as the parents live through the kids.

No one plays "Little League" anymore. Everyone plays travel now with 70' bases and 50' mounds,
lead offs etc. I'm guessing most of these kids play travel, then join this tourney for the trophy.
It is a joke, and not fun to watch.

And the fence blocking foul balls from the stands? Really? Tell the little shits to put the phones down and watch the game!

these kids have been playing ball all summer. i imagine the lion share of them are just sick of it and ready to be done.

when I was coaching my son at that age (the 11-12 age group) our local non-travel league allowed for lead-offs, and it was THE WORST. Every single or walk was a triple unless you were one of the very fortunate teams to have a top catcher. ALWAYS draft the top catcher first was our draft plan each year from ages 11-14. Even the very BEST catchers had a hard time throwing kids out. I think they have changed the rule now, but it didn't even feel like real baseball. Ball one, ball two, ball three, ball four, steal, steal. We had our kids take MONSTROUS secondary leads, and if the catcher threw ahead of them they could still easily get back (unless the ball went sailing into the outfield like it often did) and if they tried to throw behind them it was a stand-up steal.

I remember when the league I played in switched to lead offs and steals. School team I played for had allowed it for a couple years already so I had been doing it for a while. I'm not a fast guy but I think I stole 3-4 bases a game easily and it would have been more if there wasn't a base clogger on a head of me often. I don't think I was throw out once. It was silly. We had a good catcher who at least kept it respectable but most of the pitchers just didn't have a pick off and did high leg kicks if not full windups half the time in the league. The only good thing about that league was the strike zone was huge. Hard to walk so at least it took away the 5 pitch walk and steal second and third. Oh well. it was fun.. 30 damn years ago..Old...dang.

at both those responses.
