Little League World Series

  • It's on now, anyone watch it? I do sometimes, but personally I think it is kind of a joke. When I was that age, and I believe the teams now that are still that age, play on much bigger fields and are allowed to actually play with baseball rules. Seriously the pitcher needs to be moved back, the bases need to be farther than the 60' (I believe), and the fences definitely need to be moved back. Let's see these kids play real baseball. They do have another LLWS that isn't called the called that, but pretty much the same thing, but it doesn't get as much publicity and the kids usually do play real baseball. I'm sure those teams would kill the teams that get to play on ESPN.

  • Not a fan. I never understood how much love little league baseball gets on ESPN yet they dont ever show a good college dual wrestling meet or a New Zealand vs South Africa rugby match. Bout sums up that station.

    15 National Championships and one Urban Meyer heart attack, Roll Tide. 23 NC's in wrestling and one badass Herky, Go Hawks.

    Yeah, I mean don't get me wrong, if they would show the better version, I think that it would be more enjoyable, but I agree that those sports you mentioned should be shown. Although when ESPN shows wrestling, it sucks, the broadcast on Iowa Public TV is so much better
