  1. His decision making is slow and bad. He doesn't appear to get any pre-snap read, because nothing comes out quick and on time.
  2. Milton needs to put something together here. Get some first downs, make it look like you know how to move an offense.
  3. Cash those Nevada and Connecticut underdog tickets.
  4. O ye degenerates 2pm Washington -175 vs Nevada +145 4 pm Carribean -290 vs Panama +225 6 pm Hawaii-975 vs Connecticut +525
  5. No, not at all, I don't care who wins. This was conversational, though I would like to see a Texas team win, so maybe I do. "They are playing a different game (organizationally) than the international leagues. And logistically the only way to run the LLWS to a World Championship but also have a United States Championship is to have the US winner play an international winner." This is where we disagree. We could do a full on mixed bracket. These countries have no advantage over the United States, and an American championship to me is not as important as the overall.
  6. I guess America is the victim here. I didn’t realize we were getting played by Australian and Japanese starting dates. Especially our country that has every kid, whether ll or select, going to batting cages and personal pitching trainers year round. Not to mention the select kids that suddenly become little league kids when the time is right. We are at no disadvantage in any baseball league at any level, compared to other countries. None. We have so many amenities and open opportunities. This is not the Aguilar brothers or Lupus from Bad News Bears or the Sandlot. A lot of these kids get private instruction. Most of these kids are getting instruction other countries probably don’t have. Outside of Japan.
  7. There is nothing to keep our kids from taking infield 12 hours a day, if they were so inclined, they just won't do it. Which by the way, I don't believe for one second they're taking infield 12 hours a day. They've got math and other shit to do. Also, our squads are made up of all-star teams representing that entire little league community. It's not some innocuous team thrown together at the beginning of the year. The separation to ensure an American final may have been set up that way back in the day because baseball wasn't as global, but now we haven't progressed only because ABC knows that people in Indiana aren't going to watch a Venezuela/ Korea Final. And especially they're afraid if we went into a dry spell for ten years without an American team in the final, interest would decline and damage the industry. It's a business decision. It has nothing to do with competitive fairness.
  8. Speaking of, I don't think it's necessary we see him in the preseason at all. Get that ankle/foot healthy. The real deal start is right around the corner, let's shoot for that.
  9. I always thought this was bullshit that we rig this to have an American team in the final. Mix up the whole thing so everybody plays everybody. If the last 4 end up being all teams from outside the US, so be it.
  10. Don't underestimate the willingness of coaches, especially Sark because he is a very smart guy, to use the questions about standouts to subtly manipulate the media and his players. Butler may have been a standout, or he may have had a solid practice and Sark doesn't want a continued narrative that Butler drops passes, because a blogger felt like he needed to be critical and find something negative to balance a piece. A lot of young players need a shout-out publicly from a coach. For confidence or accountability... hey we see that guy, we have expectations for him, and the bar is set.
  11. You cannot keep a good team down.
  12. Starting at 17:30 - Caleb Downs is as impressive as you're going to find a college player talking about their role.
  13. Quinn gets it back with 1:43 left at his own 35 in a tie game. Time to put a drive together and win the game.
  14. Led by the running of Ollie Gordon and the focus and sheer determination of Quinn Ewers, the Dolphins have retaken the lead.
  15. Completion baby, 1st down.
  16. 0 for 4 and a lost fumble It can only get better.
  17. 2nd drive starting at the 10. lol
  18. 2 incomplete passes, and honestly his first throw was bad. He looked nervous and didn't step into it at all, just floated it out there.
  19. Quinn is in. First drive he is starting inside his own 5.
  20. Quinn probably won't get any run in this game until the 4th qtr.
