@bigzerofps 2 жыл бұрын

@@ppumpkin3282 I think its a lot to do with how the catcher for michigan was setting up. You could see that his stance was off to one side, and then the ball went center mass. So even though center mass was off the strike zone, the ump still saw it as if it were down the middle. As opposed to ohio’s catcher whose stance was more traditional, which shrunk the strike zone compared to michigans

However, I thought the umpire that worked the Mich/ Hawaii game was superb. I don't think he missed more than 1 or 2 pitches the entire game. I understand they are volunteers, but this is still their responsibility to do the job correctly or let someone else get the spotlight. I'd be happy do go to Williamsport and work the game. And yes, I have both managed and umpired in LL.

I get having a little league strike zone, but damn that was bad. Wtf are they supposed to be swinging at? Not even giving them a chance to put a solid bat on the ball if you're strike zone is that wide.

What a shame even in the championship game, The home plate umpire is calling Pitches that are off the plate for strike 3 and taking the bat out of their hands. Smdh! What a shame.

Some managers micro-manage their hitters so having sub-standard highly inconsistent umps puts an unnecessary stress on these quality kids.

LLWS always has a wide strikezone. Nobody wants to watch walk after walk.

@sgtelias2258 2 жыл бұрын

@@LastElysiumRS wrong.... first these kids can pitch. Second... yes LLWS strike needs to be generous but strike calls so far outside that they are in the opposite batters box is ridiculous. Third, the calls seem to be totally situational. When Ohio had bases loaded with no outs the next two batters were called out on some very wide strikes. Next inning with nobody on better pitches were called balls. .

@dannyventure 2 жыл бұрын

Atrocious - You got that right. Ohio got robbed. Looked like they were getting robbed in the previous game but they overcame that. Not this time. Great defense otherwise. My team lost in regionals so I just want to see a fair fight - that home plate ump needs to see the strike zone. I would question Ohio's batting order - you left at least 10 kids on base. I don't know where they get these umps but the kids deserve much better throughout the tournament.

@bradyware8718 2 жыл бұрын

Can’t blame the umpire. Might be borderline but too close to take with 2 strikes. If they knew he was calling borderline pitches they should at least put the bat on the ball instead of watching strike 3 over and over again.

The ump didn’t have a perfect zone he definitely gave several inches off the plate but it’s little league baseball. Swing the bat! Also I don’t think the ump caused the kid to walk off 3rd with 2 strikes

No one said the ump did . But the ump did back to back at bats call literal balls strikes . There’s no it’s little league swing the bat , the game of baseball is making the pitcher throw you strikes and he didn’t yet the umpire gave it to him . It’s complete bull shit for that kid to battle a at bat for a ball to be a strike .
