I umpired through the KSHSAA season and am on a new (to me) assigning group for games here in KC. Yesterday I had to do 2 10u games which I hadn't worked teams that young in a long time but whatever, it paid the same so no big deal.

So one team is just getting raked, I mean absolutely murdered. It was probably 18-0 after the first. In the second inning some kid didn't back up a ball hit to the outfield so the coach pulled him Norman Dale style and played the rest of the inning with 8 players on the field. Never seen that before and I feel bad for those kids.

Horrible

Horrible pool play today. Tied the best team in it and then lost to a team we beat 9 out of 10 times. Baseball I guess. Consolation bracket isn’t going to know what hit it at 8AM TOMORROW LMAO THUMBS DOWN.

Absolutely dominated some chumps in the consolation(LOSER!!!!) bracket today. Felt good to take out frustrations on these poor little kids who we made cry to their mamas. JK it was very civil (not kidding about kicking the living crap out of them).

an absolute hilarious thing for 11u baseball (and any youth ball) is the time management. both games yesterday got salty about time. we clawed back and tied the best team in the tourney in the 5th and were visitor. we got two outs and our HC made a "mound visit" for like 5 minutes because we were almost to time. other staff losing their crap, their fans losing their crap, everyone yelling. we got the 3rd out and it was just right at time and their HC comes out unglued and the boys had to hold up in the hand shake line for like 5 minutes while the blue gets barked at by their coach. second game was the opposite. we were trailing 1 and didn't even have our pitcher throw a warmup. just "COMING DOWN" first pitch. then our HC yelled "NEED A BATTER" at the other team while they obviously intentionally waited as long as they could to get one up. just hilarious how this stuff plays out at this age.

Saw a 14u kid hit a 350 foot dinger today using a green goblin corked with racquet balls today.

Our 15u (w/ 4 14-years olds) hung tough with a legit AAA (is that what they call it in 16u???) but lost 4-0. They made every play. They’re call the KS Curve and their uniforms were awesome and looked just like Clemson. Then that team proceeded to pants some poor saps from Bartlesville to the tune of 15-0. They scored 8 runs and had the bases loaded before the other team recorded the first out of the game. Was 11-0 after one.

Then we played the Bartlesville and also beat them 13-0 after 3.5.

Imagine driving all that way to get clobbered 0-28 in two games then stay in a hotel and wake up to play tomorrow morning at 8:30. Awesome!


They had a lady assistant coach that was almost unbearable (imo to her own team). At one point when we were up 8-0 their left fielder was playing about 10 feet from the line. I’ve never seen a gap that big in all my life and no one even noticed. After a couple of batters I was like “you guys might want to shift left field a tad.”

yeah, youth baseball is nuts. I told the 1B today that he probably didn't want to be holding our runner on 1B while we had the bases loaded and he looked at me like I was rough ridin' with him. just trying to help here (for some reason) bro. looked to the dugout but they were a "paid" staff and weren't interested in me talking to their kid. ok boys.make that check.

other than losing muscle as well as fat, i haven't heard of a single concern re. glp-1 use.  on the contrary, every story that comes out on them is is like "welp, we found another thing these drugs cure without even trying".


i think i'm gonna try to buy some of the oral version the next time i'm in mexico.

Oh look, another thing these miracle drugs do

honestly I'd prefer being around a giant group of KS Nascar fans to what I imagine the Euro F1 fan archetype to be. maybe I'm being a bigot towards slimy, smelly euros here though.

Are you afraid their avant garde fashion will make you feel inferior?

no, I grew up around nascar fans so their clothing is not too big a deal to me

Sure don't hear as many "the earth is only 5000 years old" people these days, do we?

I see a lot of them on western ks social media actually. This stuff doesn’t phase them.
