They kept the kids in the batter's box instead of letting them take their regular 15' foot stroll where they would stop and show the camera their slow motion major league swings. Typical pitch delivery between 8 and 10 seconds. If the majors did this, I might still be a fan.

Cricket solved this problem with an over rate. Baseball could have a pitch rate with penalties for both pitching and batting teams for wasting time. Did you know the average baseball game was two hours and 25 minutes in 1975?

Honestly makes me happy to see kids having such a good time, but not just for any reason, because they earned it through hard work and discipline!

[@prsguitars42]

As a professional umpire myself for many years, how did they let that guy umpire that game?? His plate mechanics were absolutely horrible and that's the reason he never saw that outside pitch which was obviously a ball. An absolute disgrace and, dude, if you're reading this, get "re-trained"(that is of course, if you actually ever had any......). Embarrassing.

[@ohger1]

It's not just that ump Ross (I also umpire). Every game so far has shown the pitchers given 6" off the plate routinely. This guy went 8" on occasion but I think they're doing that otherwise the game would be all walks and strikeouts.

[@prsguitars42]

@@ohger1 At Little League level, you open the strike zone but the situation/level of play also has a bearing. That said, he had a horrendous strike zone considering the skill level of those Little Leaguers. Again, embrrassing.

Why have a strike defined in the rule book if the umpires can make up their own strike zone.

[@Its-DeiTy]

Honestly, the coach jumping over the whole squad to avoid a court case is fucking gold 😂🤣

Great recap, Jomboy. Whoever is doing the Little League World Series should seriously hire you for the commentary. No doubt it would be great.

I watch this every time it shows up in my feed its too wholesome.

I remember umpiring 4th graders and if I called legit balls and strikes the games would take 7 hours

[@ostreds]

When the umpire is set about 6' away from the corner of the plate, how the hell can his human eyes see a ball on the corner?? It's impossible. A fine graduate of the Angel Hernandez school of Umpiring. "Now, I can't call you , you have to make the first call"

[@woodroez]

I *LOVE* these guys just dumping the Gatorade on themselves! Bring that hype to the freakin' show!

[@AL-ei2gc]

Kid: that was not a strike. Umpire: oh yeah, last game a wild pitch to the dirt was a strike. Hit the ball in three pitches, I am going home after this.

[@kevinj9030]

When I was in little league I was slow, accurate, pitcher. I rarely threw strikes on purpose. Dad taught me if you hit the glove the ump would call it a strike. He was right more than wrong.

[@soggybogwitch]

My league was the opposite man. Most of our "umps" were just players from the high school team and they just refused to expand the zone. And I wasn't a very good hitter, so I learned to just not swing at anything, because I knew I was probably gonna get walked (and I was walked a ton) but the downside is I never really learned to bat. To this day I can barely get a bat on the ball man.

[@gabrielrockman]

When I played in little league, the umpires based the inside corner off where the batter was standing, but based the outside corner off home plate the way you're supposed to. So if the batter stands away from the plate, they give the pitcher a much wider strike zone. But if the batter crowds the plate, the entire inside half of the plate is still going to be called a ball and there's a very small strikezone for the pitcher to throw at.

[@Richard.Dawson]

The ump could probably see the plate better if he didn't stand behind the batter!!! What the hell is he doing standing like that?

[@HarryBalzak]

I was wondering the same thing, but I don't know much about baseball.

Umpire calls could be explained by his unusual position of standing behind the batter instead of the catcher.... kinda skewed perspective from that angle 🤔
