Let me just say.... kid pitch baseball can be boring as hell. I've been told it will get a little better as the season wears on.... but holy moly that was a long two hours.
In the machine pitch league, most batters get a hit. That makes the game move along and provide some excitement. In kid-pitch, they are either strike outs or walks. There were very few hits. There was base-stealing, which seemed like pretty much a foregone conclusion if the pitch did not go directly to the catcher (and even sometimes when it did).
So, the game was more-or-less played between the pitcher and the catcher and the kids on the field were.... well... insurance. Anyway.... yikers. This might be a long season.
