  • Texas and Venezuela played in the third place game in the 2024 Little League World Series.
    Covering sports in a unique way since 2018.
    If you’re looking for high quality sports content, then this is the channel for you! I’ve covered Baseball (NCAA, LLWS, Professional), Football (NCAA, NFL), Softball (NCAA), Basketball (NBA, NCAA), Hockey (NHL), and much more!
    The best part of my work as a RUclipsr is being able to provide coverage of sports that may not receive as much attention as they should to the large audience I have built over the years. Many of the sports I cover aren't posted by any other RUclipsrs, which makes this channel that much more important.
    One of my favorite accomplishments is revolutionizing the way sports channels create thumbnails. I've adopted two different styles, one with logos on the left and a game snapshot on the right, and the other with the logos in the middle and game snapshots representing both teams on either side.
    I have a combined 4 years of experience as a Baseball & Basketball Play by Play announcer, which is where I learned my skills for commentary/breakdowns.

      Yeah no one ever cares about this game. I think it's great for them to get a little extra ball in at Williamsport before they go home, though, even if their hearts aren't really in it. It often results in a more friendly atmosphere.

      There is no such thing as a bases-empty balk in any rulebook. Before you start calling out rules, it's good to familiarize yourself with what the rules actually are. With bases empty, you can only have an illegal pitch, which is an automatic ball. In LL Majors (such as the LLWS), with runners on base there is no such thing as a traditional balk (where baserunners move up). It's still just an illegal pitch and the batter gets a ball added to his count.

    12:18. Great example of everything wrong with LLWS strike zones. That pitch is an easy called strike on a left handed batter. Every time. With the righty at the plate, it's a HBP. LL needs to clean this up, actually follow the rulebook, and put the **100% symmetrical** zone back over home plate ... and you'll stop these batters who literally are batting with their toes touching home plate.

      There are two massive problems with the tournament. One: it's an unbalanced field so that some teams have to play a 1st round game and others get a sort of bye into the 2nd round. Why? No reason. Unfair. They need a way to whittle this down to 8 ... or bump it up to 16. Two: it's a double elimination tournament all the way up to the most important game, where the design allows the tournament to end with two 1-loss teams and no clear "best team."
