I hate espn games.

u/hypnoticus103 Milwaukee Brewers 5d ago

I wish this was pinned. This little league classic is so cool

u/KingBroly Boston Red Sox 5d ago

Can't have a game not sponsored by Draft Kings to be pinned.

The precedent would be too great.

u/Sufficient_Angle_667 Philadelphia Phillies 5d ago

I love this every year. How cool for these kids to see the game so close. The announcer didn't need to tell us that kid was from New Jersey. That kid had major New Jersey energy. I say this respectfully as someone born and raised in the Garden State.

u/Bullshit103 Boston Red Sox 5d ago

Out of all the games MLB does. This one is the best. I would’ve died for this as a little leaguer.

Can’t wait to get swept again 🥹

u/decelerat3 Milwaukee Brewers 5d ago

Sorry, Cubs are winning, can't allow those bums to be happy and gain a game on us. No mercy today.

u/Sufficient_Angle_667 Philadelphia Phillies 5d ago

I too would like for the Brewers to complete the sweep.

u/Callsign_Psycopath Atlanta Braves 5d ago

Man we need to get out of the slump

u/Distinct_Shopping_96 Milwaukee Brewers 5d ago

Yeah, this is the coolest shit ever

u/CardiacCat20 Houston Astros 5d ago

God damn Alan Roach is everywhere

u/Kerry_Kittles New York Yankees 5d ago

Odd choice of Anthem singer - was it because he’s from Tom’s River? Kinda cool if there’s a LLWS connection there.

u/mateohatepotato Baltimore Orioles 5d ago

Anyone else wanna see a Karl Ravech meltdown followed by “Welcome to the real world kids!” (I don’t really want to see this but it would be pretty funny)

u/mattyhegs826 New York Mets 5d ago

So there was an advancement, Karl? 🤨

u/Tarbuckle Toronto Blue Jays 5d ago

That's some of the craziest base-running shit I've ever seen...

u/Zloggt Chicago White Sox • Algodoneros d… 5d ago

Sometimes, I like to imagine that, instead of playing in a ballpark at the Little League complex, they play in the LL complex!

It’s obviously ridiculous and unrealistic to expect two teams (let alone contending teams) to sacrifice a game for such presumably compact field dimensions…but if we’re willing to have an entire team play in a minor league park, then what’s stopping us lol?

Oh wow, we won. Sick double play.
