Little League Player Caught On A Hot Mic Saying ESPN Is Fixing The LLWS Games!
Finally! Someone says it! This little leaguer says what we are all thinking, ESPN is fixing the LLWS with their disgusting calls by the umpires behind the plate.
Iowa was up 6-3 in the last inning on Sunday when there was a close pitch called a ball which resulted in a walk. That brought up the tying run to the plate and the Iowa manager had a meeting at the mound. We know they're all mic'd up so they can give their inspirational speeches once they're eliminated so you could hear loud and clear what his players thought when he got to the mound. They didn't beat around the bush either, straight up saying ESPN is fixing the games to add drama.
Naturally the first pitch to the next batter was 3 feet off the plate and called a strike. Maybe it was a makeup call, maybe it wasn't. But it was definitely a bad call. I always wondered what the kids thought because if they get a bad strike called against them they just sprint back to the dugout and don't say anything.
Now we know what they are thinking, which is the same as what the rest of us are thinking. These umps are trash, they've always been trash, and now the kids are finally calling them out on it.
