I mean are you serious.  Belive it or not I played little league baseball.  (yes I admit it even though I hate the sport now) I remember going against pitchers that pitched faster then others.  I didnt think they should have been banned from the league for pitching fast.  I think this just has to do with the kid not wanting to play on the defending champions team.  Now there mad that they could lose.  What a joke.  Should you suppend a kid from soccer just because he kicks the ball to hard? Or a kid from football because he throws farther.  This makes me think of what just happen in Beachwood with the whole getting rid of the allstar game because they say it singled out the good players from the bad.  Parents need to understand....sometimes your kid isn't going to be the best at something.

Speaking of Beachwood and throwing hard, Beachwood High School had a pitcher named Brad Goldberg who threw in the low 90s. Unbelievable. Struck me out twice. I guess he's getting a ride for baseball to Coastal Carolina..


 


Anyways, this is ridiculous. The kid obviously has talent, and he's not going to get any better by not pitching.

I hate stuff like this just let him play obviously he loves the game and worked hard to get that speed I mean cmon now we want people to exceed and we want to push them if they are on our team but if we see someone else doing good in something we try to just completely stop em.

== Cavs == Browns == Indians == Gladiators ==

This is terrible. You can't ban a kid from little league baseball. Im not that big baseball fan, but I played it as a kid, I don't know any one who didn't for atleast a year or two. Move him up a league if its that big of a problem. No kid should be denied an oppurtunity. If the parents who are trying to get him removed from the league, were in his parents situation they wouldn't want this to happen to their child.

That reminded me of the start of a lecture my old basketball coach might give. He would be livid about this. I would really like to talk to him about this right now.
