Shorty was looking like Ryan Howard out there locked in 3 home runs

I'm rooting for them. A perfect scenario would be for them to win it all and then all the gang violence in Chicago stopped.
(Let my dream cook. Dammit.)

to their credit they are trying as hard a ? . they are praying for Andrew McCutchen ass ? to play. They been had RBI programs in the hood and had pro players come out and insire the kids. The issue is little league is boring as ? . Not just for the kids but for the parents sitting around all damn summer in at least 1 or 2 leagues if not a 3rd sumer ball league pending other sports they play.
White kids not even playing baseball like that anymore. Many of them are going to lacrosse. Some i knew through my hockey days ended up playing spring hockey leagues instead of baseball because its too slow. Not to mention these cats are getting overworked pitching wise and those bats they have now have big ass sweet spots and kids aren't learning to hit the right way cause they depend on the sweet spot. If i had those bats those cats had back in my neighborhood playing days 10 years ago i would be nailing homeruns all day err day.

Haha hell no. With Little League's 45 foot mound her fastball is the equivalent of a 90 mph fastball with a 60 foot mound which is the professional length and the length you go to after Little League (Babe Ruth League) -
Yea jus read that it translates to 90 in the MLB the announcer said 90 when I was watching the other day that's why I thought I was trippin

You remember that Danny Almonte dude that was like 16 that illegally played in the LLWS like 10-11 years ago? I remember his ? translated to like 101 mph. Haha ? obviously ain't impressive at all though considering any decent 16 year old baseball player could dominate Little Leaguers. -
So from what I looked up they're still in it and playing Nevada next??? Nevada did win 12-2 in their last game but played South Dakota which ain't really a baseball hotbed.

Yeah, they definitely trying and they're really not as sparse as you'd think. Hell my Braves have a all-black outfield although B.J. Upton ? sucks and needs to be benched or released asap. Gotta suck to have your own younger brother on the same team having a great year while your hitting .208. -
Bruh I'm chasing that baseball money when I have a son.
