"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Who would have thunk that this is happening in the northeast? What a bunch of kooks.
When a team had a really good pitcher, we stymied him by bunting. We could slaughter the other team by doing this. The better the pitcher, the less likely he would run after a bunt. That was a job for other people.
In my mind I’m picturing some liberal adult, stamping their foot, tears in their eyes shouting “It’s not fair”.
Crybabies.
It’s high time we forced the NBA to reflect the ethnic mix of the nation as a whole. I will not rest until the NBA is 88% white.
Sounds just like OBAMA and the dhimmikratz IRAQ strategy...............
we had plenty of 12 year olds in Dixie Youth little league their last year that could pitch like that..in my day.
get the moms out of the dugout and take their wussy husbands with them
In fact, this is a perfect case in point for why organized youth sports are a bad idea all around. If I had kids I wouldn't let them play in organized leagues like this until they got to high school.
Little League games suck when one kid develops much faster than the others. But then again, sometimes college/Olympian softball looks exactly the same (i mean, the US no-hit the entire olympic field for 3 or 4 games until the medal round).
But the solution isn’t to punish the kid who is good. You could just make him pitch in the next age level. He gets some competition and the older kids get to hit against somebody closer to their physical limits. That way nobody gets punished and and everybody gets to play baseball.
Oh how the left hates it when someone does well, achieves success, and is ready to leave the democrat plantation! The left would rather keep people down and dependent.
Liberalism is really a degenerative disease of the mind.
“A fine is a tax for doing Wrong...A tax is a fine for doing well!”
Back in the day, the kids in my neighborhood played baseball all day during the summer. The result was that they became the best players when they signed up for Little League. When my brother was 9, he was the pitcher the kids hated to bat against. Instead of being punished for being good, they moved him up to the next age group. He was happy and the kids were happy. No one cried how unfair it was.
Someone should ENCOURAGE him to keep on pitching - not discourage him! I bet in 9 years he woulod be ready for the Major League Draft!
Jericho Scott, I believe you'll be a damn good pitcher - and I hope you'll be pitching - when you are 11 and 12 - in the Little League World Series!
As a coach of 8-12 year olds for several years now, I run into this sort of mentality constantly.
Sounds like a sports version of “Harrison Bergeron.”
