    If you’re looking for high quality sports content, then this is the channel for you! I’ve covered Baseball (NCAA, LLWS, MLB), 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.

      ​@@jrex3575 I knew it.
      why dont you just say attack of Pearl Harbor?
      As we all learnt in school. "Japan suddenly attacked Pearl Harbor sneakily" is a lie.
      Before the attack of Pearl Harbor,
      U.S (Flying Tigers) assaulted Japan.
      I am sure you have heard of the name.
      also U.S submarine attacked Japanese submarine, which is before the Pearl Harbor attack.
      "The war didn't start because Japan suddenly attacked Pearl Harbor."
      Also this is important part that I wish you to learn.
      Japan was desperately trying to avoid war with U.S. So Japan kept giving peaceful proposal to FDR through (Hull Note).
      I am sure you have heard Hull note as well already.
      but not many people are familiar with the contents of the Hull Note.
      U.S refused all the proposal and provoked Japan.
      Even though Japan knew they would lose, they had no choice but to fight.
      Economic sanctions forced Japan to collapse or fight
      Unlike the 2001 hollywood fiction movie Pearl Harbor, which has a scene Japanese air fighter attacking hospital and civilians,
      Truth is Japan aimed military base in Pearl Harbor. Civilian wasnt target.
      Unfortunately there were 57 causalities of U.S citizens who were in the military base, but again, Japan aimed military base.
      as a revenge, U.S aimed and m○○s○cred about 1 million Japanese civilians with incendiary bombs and atomic bombs and so on.
      Now you know. thank you for reading.
      its no problem at all that you guys didnt know about this. but hey papadapilas32 did you really have to insult Japanese bringing such history into this kids baseball? does that make you feel good?  I am sure your country did worse.
      I used to believe Empire Japan is an evil. but everything was lie made by victorious countries to justify the war. there was no decent country like Empire of Japan in that time.
      also Ill be glad if you watch this ↓ as this chance.

      @@yuumetal2363 It's just a joke... You don't have to take it so personally. Did you know that we Americans sometimes joke about 9/11 too? And that was _much_ more recent.
      Also, your attitude of "everything was a lie, therefore Japanese Empire good" is very dangerous, conspiracy theory level thinking. You are correct that Pearl Harbor was not completely out of nowhere like most Americans assume, but that doesn't make it a good thing. Japan was in the process of taking over and subjugating half the world just like the Nazis were trying to do. No amount of atrocities committed by the US or anyone else will ever retroactively justify that.
      It's also very weird to even bring up that widely panned movie as if Americans thought it was true at all. When we think of Pearl Harbor, we think of the warships lost like the USS Arizona, and of how it awoke the sleeping giant and kicked off our full participation in WW2 in both theaters. Period.

    @rossspyke2362 Год назад +5

    The rule change will have unintended consequences. Teams will show up with a 10 or 11 man roster for the next couple years then LL will change the rule to require a minimum 12 man roster, then they will revert back to where they started, which is a 9 man batting order and minimum playing time requirements for the subs. But… we’ve seen managers willingly take an ejection and tournament suspension by intentionally disregarding the minimum playing time requirements at the expense of a 12 year old just for a better chance at a win.

    • @Brandon-qd2lb
      @Brandon-qd2lb Год назад

      @@Brandon-qd2lb I saw 11 man rosters in regional play and I think I saw one or two in the WS. You can get waivers to run with less than 12. At any rate, it’s a huge disadvantage to bat 14 players compared to 12.

    • @rachmak
      @rachmak Год назад

      yeah - it'll be a headache for sure. Not sure what is the right answer here. I have seen some players make all stars and travel all around for the whole summer just to get one at bat per game as well just to meet the rule requirement and they ended up opting out of all stars the next year. Who wants to spend their whole summer practice and traveling just to get one at bat per game. This ensures all players will get decent playing time and a chance to be involved in the batting order. And I think this would benefit the greater LL community but of course give way to those ultra competitive coaches that will game the system.
