Should've taken Antonio Guerrero out at 35 pitches and saved him for Friday against a SUPER strong Venezuela team. But I get it. They were only up 1-0 😞
@@sportgeek2028 I have to question how many of these llws are truly standard “all star” teams.. I’m sorry but I call bs - most seem like they took the best players from the entire district and put them on one team
Glad to see comments giving Aruba their praise. They got a good team. Mexico pitcher just had a good day. crazy to not see Curacao not in the LLWS. The Caribbean teams are always very good.
Wheels I love your vids bro. NOBODY is as good as you, BUT… please dont put “NO HITTER” on thumbnail. As soon as there was a clean hit in the game, you already knew who was gonna win (99.9%)
To be fair, Wheels is the best and this is the only real spoiler I've ever seen from him. Usually it's "(amazing game)" or something along those lines.
Great pitching and defense from Mexico but their hitting is questionable will be a fun team to watch ! Also they were facing a big hard throwing pitcher from Aruba ..have to keep that in mind
I hate these huge outside corners they give at the LLWS. I hated it when I was a kid, especially when you're facing kids throwing every bit as hard (if not harder) than these kids. The batter should be rewarded for good plate discipline; the pitcher shouldn't be rewarded for throwing it over the chalk line.
@Rippin_Lips they're all volunteers unless something has changed. There's a difference between a ball off the plate wide and chalk wide. Also, those calls typically aren't made on the inner half of the plate. Why not?
If the ball paints the black it’s a strike.. always has been. Idk what your complaint is strike zone has always been wide in little league even when I was a kid. If the ball pants the black on the corner that’s a strike and always has been
3 teams out of the Caribbean: Puerto Rico, Cuba, and an at-large (Caribbean). In that case, maybe the top 2 teams from Japan and Mexico should be invited too.
I saw all the highlights Wheels posted for the regionals, I dare say that both Mex and Aru are better than most teams in the Regionals... super interesting!
Hard to make that judgement when you’ve only seen them play once with their ace on the mound . So many of these teams cannot be standard all star teams
@@brianmeen2158 Fair enough. New Hempshire presented better in their opening game than in the regionals as well. Even though they lost... It's just that the american teams, generally, look better straight from the get... Like I said, thought it was interesting! =)
@@lucasl7693 Could be, I don`t know how they'll fair against some teams who have, maybe a better offense... American teams are usually more offense focused, but it could be they'll win it all. And you never know when one of these teams will fall apart either... they ARE just kids... and sometimes things go sideways REAL fast... hehe
The international bracket is far better than the American side. People blame it on Americans playing in other leagues like babe Ruth etc and maybe that's true but the states has a massive population. I would love to see all 20 teams in two divisions, just mixed. A country like Canada this year would destroy the USA side but sadly is stuck facing the Japan, Venezuela, Chinese Taipei, Mexico, Aruba Cuba etc. Is it so important that no matter what an American team is in the finals, or an American champion crowned?
*AGAIN, TELLING US THERE WAS A NO HITTER"* Great way to get _me/us_ looking for another channel, that will probably do the same thing 😂, to watch it on.
Great to see you doing this again. We cant see all games due to oure location. Another thing is, That Xavier as commentator! Is there a way to shut him up. My god he really is a joke.
You watched one game so you can’t come to that conclusion lol. Llws is about pitching depth - does Mexico have a strong 2-3 in their lineup? If not they won’t go far.. America has a handful of very good teams so it’s hard to say this early
@brianmeen2158 i mean yeah true but from what ive seen from the regionals, not even many teams that made it have the kind of pitching depth that I would be comfortable saying could compare to what the international teams show up with time and time again. I will say the defense that i saw from the US teams may be enough to save them. These kids can definitely ball out dont get me wrong
@@brianmeen2158south korea tried to last year and got caught, taylor michigan tried it this year and got caught, LL is insanely strict they catch that stuff
