1. In major league baseball the current trend is that you need to protect young arms. There is talk of Mike Pelfrey hitting his innings cap. There were Joba rules. If you are 12 and ESPN can make money off you you can pitch all the way from February to Labor Day.
2. It is not cool to televise kids crying. They are children. Why add the pressure of a national audience and cameras.
3. What’s the point of playing teams from other countries? Why can’t a team just be county champions? Or state? Why do we need to play Taiwan? We don’t even play other countries at the major league level, but we’re going to ship over a team from Curacao?
4. Danny Almonte. You cheated and started a 16 year old against 12 year olds. Like the coach didn’t know. What’s the point, to pick up girls?
5. It’s a game and these are KIDS. Win the town championship in June and go to Friendly’s for ice cream and enjoy the summer.
