Why doncha split the "when should they fire Willie?" bits from the game thread. I think that's on the verge of becoming a toipic worth discussion.

Not 'til May 1. Protocol.

Will the POTG program recognize NEGATIVE points totals?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 25 2008 03:50 PM

No. It will interpret the minus sign as a hyphen and discard it. So if you give someone -4, they get 4.

Willie was lucky to last the winter, though; I don't think management will show too much patience. If they wait 'til the team is ten games under .500 then they've waited about ten losses too many.

I'm voting for the best game I saw yesterday - my son's LL game. His team (Mariners) was the home team. Game was tied 2-2 after 6. The 7th is the extra inning. Visitors (the Rangers) scored twice in the top of the frame. Mariners are down 4-2 going into the bottom of the 7th and the Rangers had already started celebrating wildly in their dugout. [u:84a3341628]MARINERS 7TH[/u:84a3341628] -Adam leads off with a single. -Harry doubles him home (score is now 4-3 bad guys). -On the first pitch Harry steals third -Daniel grounds out to shortstop, Harry scores (4-4, one out). -Everett walks. -Everett moves to second on a passed ball. -Soupy, Jr. hits a hard grounder to short. Shortstop tags the runner moving from second to third (2 outs), Soupy, Jr. safe at first. -Michael walks, Soupy, Jr. to second. -Both runners. move up on a wild pitch (Michael to second, Soupy, Jr. to third) -On the second pitch Soupy Jr. steals home (Final score 5-4). Since these boys are 10 & 11 years old instead of Schaefer I'm giving them Slurpee points. Adam 3 Harry 2 Everett 3 Soupy, Jr. 1.5 Michael .5

AG/DC May 22 2008 07:52 AM

That's worth celebrating. In my experience, 10- and 11-year-olds aren't allowed to break until the pitch reaches the plate, so stealing home is sort of right out. Are they allowed to break with the pitch now?

seawolf17 May 22 2008 07:53 AM

The kid steals home to win the game and you only give him a point and a half? Tough dad.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 22 2008 08:03 AM

Nice job Soupy Jr. I might throw a half-point to the batter whose potential glory Soupy Jr. also stole.

soupcan May 22 2008 08:05 AM

They can't break until the pitch crosses the plate. Jr. stole home on a delayed steal - after the catcher threw the ball back to the pitcher. He just barely got in under the tag. It was way cool, His whole team mobbed him at the plate. I was verklempt. For you dads of young children I can't express enough how supercool it is to watch your kids play, do well and get this ear to smile on their faces. Its just the best. ="seawolf17"]The kid steals home to win the game and you only give him a point and a half? Tough dad. Well, my voting was for the whole game not just the last inning and he didn't really do much up til then. Besides itrs not like he's gonna see this.

AG/DC May 22 2008 08:12 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 22 2008 09:42 AM

My only steal of home was when there were two outs and Keith up. Poor Keith didn't know that it was pretty much team policy to look to swipe the plate if he was up with two out. I actually was called out (thought I was in there), but it turned out the pitcher quick-pitched. The damn umps, though, had a conference, and sent me back to THIRD, based on our league rules to give the pitcher a warning on his first balk. No steal for me.

HahnSolo May 22 2008 09:40 AM

Everett gets too many points there in my opinion. He walks (OK, tie game, winning run gets on base), but was it a hard-worked walk, or was the pitcher wild? Then he goes to second on a passed ball. Again, no great effort on his part. But now he commits a colossal blunder. In scoring position, he tries to get to third on a grounder to short? Bad play, especially if you are the winning run. Getting tagged out, he leaves a man on first with 2 outs. The key player here is Harry. His double scored the first run, then his stolen base allowed him to score the tying run on an infield out. Big time right there. So I think you should adjust Harry to 3 points, Soup Jr. to 2, and Everett to 1.5.

His double scored the first run, then his stolen base allowed him to score the tying run on an infield out. Big time right there. So I think you should adjust Harry to 3 points, Soup Jr. to 2, and Everett to 1.5. See, the problem is that I only gave you guys one inning but I scored the kids based on the entire game. Everett had 3 big hits in the game AND asked me to show him how to score the game. Paid great atention when I showed him and scored one inning himself. Getting tagged out going from 2nd to 3rd wasn't really his fault. Soupy, Jr. hit a missile of a groundball. The SS should never have had a chance at it but it but somehow he stabbed it. He bobbled it so had no play at first but Everett had assumed (as did everyone else) that the SS would not be able to get to the ball in the first place. By the time Everett realized the ball didn't go through, the SS finally had control of it and tagged Everett who was right next to him. Harry is totally big time. Best player on the team and a nice kid. He pitches, he hits. Back story: His mom is Puerto Rican and his dad is Jewish. The mom was single with two kids and took a job as the dad's secretary. They started having an affair and, Harry's dad jokes (or maybe not), that to avoid the sexual harrassment suit, he had to marry her..

metirish May 22 2008 10:40 AM

I'm changing my allegiance to Soupy Jr.'s team , was he stealing on his own right there?

soupcan May 22 2008 10:46 AM

Are you kidding? No way. The coach would've killed him. They play the Royals this Saturday for a share of first place, tix availble on StubHub.com.

metirish May 22 2008 10:53 AM

I know nothing really about LL but is that typical for a coach to push things like that? , a ballsy move and I love it . Is he a bunt kinda guy , becasue you know there might be a job for him.

themetfairy May 22 2008 11:00 AM

Little League coaches are about as consistent as a pinball machine. They call all sorts of crazy plays. It's the good coaches who own up to it after the fact and tell the kids that it was their fault that DJ was called out at third trying to stretch a double into a triple because the coach told him to keep running....

="metirish"]I know nothing really about LL but is that typical for a coach to push things like that? , a ballsy move and I love it . Is he a bunt kinda guy , becasue you know there might be a job for him. Interesting that you ask those questions - Normally I wouldn't be happy about winning a game with a delayed steal like that. But our kids were doing it the whole game - not stealing home, but 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd - and the other team's coach didn't alert his team to it or tell them to be extra aware of it or anything. Usually if you do that once, the other team becomes aware and makes it a point to take better care of the ball and not let it happen again. It was also getting late - there had been a 15 minute rain delay and we were pushing curfew time (8:10) so his coach wanted to end the game then and there. Soupy, Jr. badly wants to be a bunter. He tried to lay 'em down three seperate times yesterday. The first time he got called out for stepping out of the batter's box and making contact with the ball (instead of reaching across the plate). The other two times he kept fouling it off and once he got to two strikes had to swing away. He'll keep at it though.

Soupcan - "Soupy, Jr. badly wants to be a bunter. He tried to lay 'em down three seperate times yesterday..." Soupy Jr. must be a fan of WWSB.

When I was coaching Lenny's team and was in the third base coaching box (coaching at a higher level when stealing can happen anytime, major league rules except no infield fly) I told my fastest runner that he could go for the straight steal of home because I had observed that there was a nervous catcher behind the plate. The play worked, we all went home happy. The kid who stole home had managed to get on base on a walk probaby because he couldn't hit at all but he got his moment of glory there.
