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!

Go Santa Margarita!!!

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.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
