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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
