I have nice little sports bar I frequent. I have a favorite, over stuffed chair I usually use. I have 4 flat screen TVs I can clearly watch. All of them have different sporting events I can watch. If I turn my head just a bit more, I can watch a 5th TV if need be. 

The last few evenings there has been preseason nfl, mlb, nba reruns, pga stuff, and the Little League World Series. I find myself watching the LLWS mote than the others by a wide margin. 

Just watching those youngsters play for the pure fun, and love of the game is my sports drug of the moment. They play hard. They are friendly to a certain extent to the other teams. They make a few mistakes, but they also make some spectacular plays too. Happy winners, with heart broken losers. Smiles and tears. Just  good play, and viewing of one of America's best sports.

I hope others on TST are taking in few of these games.

Son is just really getting into baseball this year and is in little league, and the west team is from the town right next door to us so we'll definitely be watching.

We watched their last two games this week and, in fact, were it not for previously made plans for last night we were probably going to go watch the regional championship game live.  (SB Ian an hour away). Although the place looked packed so we may not have got in.  There were 10k people there!

We never miss the LLWS. It's the purest form of sports, in my opinion.

Before relocating in 2010, they used to hold the Little League Southern Regionals in the complex behind my old house in Gulport, FL. It's the same field my brothers and I played on when we were that age.

I coached pitchers, from Little League to High School, for a period of ten years.  During that time I developed a "par" concept.  Par is five pitches per out.  If a pitcher gets above five pitches per out...that pitcher is throwing too many pitches.  This holds true from Little League to Major League Baseball.  An error, that would otherwise have resulted in an out, adds one...i.e. 20 pitches and 4 outs is par.  Do yourself a favor and keep track of this.  It matters not what level of baseball you are watching.  Inning to inning is not definitive; but a pitcher who is consistently "over par" is coming out sooner rather than later.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
