[Pirates~R~Us]

I know tensions are high and no disrespect intended but i am a little suprised that Belfry only took 10 players.

Can't you finish a game wit 8 players?

The ump in question should have used a little better judgement.Give the player a warning then if he does it again CALL him out not throw him out.

I feel for the Belfry players coaches and fans.I am with you guys travel is better than Jr and Sr because nobody really cares about those age groups. After the 12 yr age group it goes down hill.To me that's when the interest should kick in because it is real baseball.

It usually goes down hill for us in that age group too. We wondered the same thing on finishing with 8 players!? We had 11 originally and one didn't get to come. Given time we could have called a couple of replacements in, but they just called the game on us. High School and travel ball is so much better and although we have had some good times (this is my sons third trip to state) and learned a lot growing up in LL......your right that is when real baseball kicks in.
