Well, I have a son coming up in the LL system at Groves and got to watch both teams, last years and this years, as I am happy for any teams from Groves that do well. But the pitching does not compare. There is no real No.1 starter on this years team as Scalpem states. Plus, I would take all five or six pitchers Groves used last year over any of them this year. Not to bash this years team as they won district so they must be pretty good, but since this is a forum those are my two cents. Last years team - 15 This years team - 0 - if they were able to play against each other ( I think I saw Hernandez's ball he hit the other night orbit the moon)

Too bad you couldnt get both teams together for a scrimmage, but then that might shatter the confidence of this years team as I doubt they would be able to score against last years team. Congrats to the players of the Groves LL team for there accomplishments this year, but parents, really, Williamsport. ???

I have to agree with Nederland Mom, I got to watch some of the Rockies games and Walker dominated the games he pitched. And if your 10-0 and the other boy had 4 losses then the favoritism would have to come up.

As much as it pains me to defend the Groves team, the fireworks are there because some of the dads from BC last year had them all set up in center field as BC had Groves down with two outs in the last inning and were at center field fence with their punks lit waiting for the third out then.....POW.... Groves takes the game on a Homerun, and poor BC had to not light the fireworks. SO it is just payback.....Plus the parents this year want their kids to feel like they are as good as the team was last year.

Ralph, I think the team from last year would have beat the team from this year hands down. The competion in the district last year was incredible, and that Groves team was one of the best teams I have ever seen, which I guess is why they went so far.
