holy shit that was insane. He did get screwed on a strike called ball 2 that would've been the 3rd strike I think. a batter or 2 earlier

He got a couple of calls to go his way as well. It all evens out.

Some of you all shitting yourself over what a bunch of kids playing baseball like clearly have never been around youth baseball much.  They're 12, they like what their parents like, and their parents all probably happen to be (checks notes) late GenX/early millennials.  Ya know the people who came of age when Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Ken Griffey etc were kind of big deals.

Surly: kids today don’t watch good movies or know any of the greats 

Also surly: omg no way these 12 year olds like Ford, Hanks, etc!

I’m guessing Easton must donate a shit-ton of those bats to the LLWS teams. Great marketing as every kid will want one at $349 a pop. 

Easton is the LLWS equipment sponsor and provides all the equipment to the players and yeah it's an excellent marketing strategy. It's been my experience that whatever Easton equipment is used in the LLWS kids show up the following season with the same gear.

I think it was around 2011/2012 when Easton debuted their Power Brigade bats and one of my son's went into "I want that" mode with the Power Brigade XL bats while watching the LLWS. He was always a fan of the gear he saw during the LLWS.

Unreal Hawaii fucking lost. 
 

Also, today I learned that Honolulu Little League is literally the only little league in Honolulu. It covers the entire city of 350k people. No wonder they always do so good. 

That's not actually that bad although I assume they have a much higher participation percentage than highly populated metro areas in the contiguous 48 just because travel is obviously not as big of a thing. My local league has a similar total population in our boundaries but probably a fraction of baseball players participating in LL compared to Hawaii.
