The Looking to Rule Them with Runs DH thread

[She Mate Me]

Ok, seriously, its time to put a real boohonkey spanking on these Yankees (sorry Bruce).

They've played well enough to feel pretty good about themselves overall. Now we need to take the donuts off the bats and unload some dingers on these wedding singers.

I hope the bats are alive because this may not be a long outing for Foster

Gave up a 3 run homer in the top of the first

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Time to shut the program down**

 

[Muttley]

Got one back in the bottom of 1st, 3-1 dutchmen

 

[She Mate Me]

Time to shut the program down**

Agreed.

I've been informed it loses money and causes us to suck at fooseball.

 

[57stratdawg]

I hate this TikTok commercial

 

[Muttley]

Ace with the 3 run shot Dawgs up 4-3

 

[Seinfeld]

Probably not best to pitch to Ace with two on and first open

 

[She Mate Me]

That was a nice two out rally.

Ace is a 17'n clutch sumbitch.

 

[Muttley]

Stallman was completely fooled that whole at bat

 

[dog99walker]

Chris Billingsley in the game. He got them out in three batters. 6’ 4” out of East Central. He looked good. I hope they put Bauer out there today.

 

[dog99walker]

I spoke too soon. Walked in a run.

 

[Seinfeld]

Note to self - Let’s not pitch Billingsly with the game on the line

 

[PrimeDog]

Peter Billingsley could probably pitch better than this guy. Nice BBs

I'm thinking we'll get an extended look at Bauer vs Alcorn in the midweek.

Can't say I understand putting Billingsley in that situation. We don't need an L to this team.

Bullpen is looking very 2023 ish

 

[CochiseCowbell]

On the mound

 

[Seinfeld]

Did everyone check out?

See above. Jack Gleason on the bump.

Score?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I might be behind, chasing my sick toddler around.

Bot 7
Good guys up 7-5

 

[Seinfeld]

Score?

Dawgs 7-5

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

That’s a bullsh*t call. Hofstra player called out because he touched the wrong 1st base. Ridiculous!

Little League is going to the double bag. I'd better brush up on those rules.

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

Holding our breath. None of these games has been clean and this one feels particularly dicey.

 

[patdog]

Little League is going to the double bag. I'd better brush up on those rules.

Good luck getting those kids to know which base to touch.

 

[JackShephard]

Man our batters look lost against these BP pitchers.

 

[maroonmania]

Man on 3rd with nobody out and we can't get him home. Still up 7-5 going to the 9th but I would say the offense has been disappointing all weekend. We definitely don't look like a Top 5 team right now.

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

Good luck getting those kids coaches to know which base to touch.

I'm an umpire, not a coach. I don't have to teach the kids anything.

Also, FIFY.

Why? Those collisions are rarer & less impactful.

 

[Seinfeld]

lol at that batter getting “hit” by a pitch

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

Why? Those collisions are rarer & less impactful.

I don't know about rarer simply because Little Leaguers don't know what they are doing a lot of the time, especially at the younger levels. Routine plays can turn into chaos in a heartbeat.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. Good luck with that too. You will get cussed out for a correct call if you call it. Me, I’d just not call it at that level for sure. But then you’ll get cussed out for not calling it. I’ve done very little refereeing in my life. But when I was about 18, I was refereeing a 5th & 6th grade church league basketball game. One of the kids on the defensive end barely brushed the bottom of the net. The coach got the other team was screaming goaltending. I just said look I know you’re technically right. But I am not calling goaltending in this league. I’m just impressed we have a kid who can touch the net.

Chaos isn't injury. Injury is why the extra base was introduced.

 

[patdog]

Only watched the 2nd game. But that Michael Brown kid at SS for Hofstra looks like a good player.

 

[aTotal360]

I like Webb.

 

[MSUVetRep]

Nice sweep!!!

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

Chaos isn't injury. Injury is why the extra base was introduced.

Well, not literally, that's true. I guess what I meant by chaos is a routine groundball can easily turn into a bad throw to the first baseman that ends with a trainwreck at first. Bad throws, first baseman standing on the bag instead of touching the side, runner just plowing ahead not looking where the defender is positioned....the kind of chaos that leads to injury.

 

[Msuirondawgs]

We'll take the 3 wins no doubt. I do think it's a little underwhelming though. Pitching-B. Offense-C. Not worried, we will get much better in the next 2-3 weeks

 

[She Mate Me]

Welp, that wasn't pretty at all, but absolutely no harm was done to our prospects.

Now they better get their heads out of their butts and not lose to Troy (again).

I don't care (much) how they get there, but they really need to be 8-0 by next Sunday.
