I like him, too. Overall, I have been really impressed with the defense. Lot of great plays, but the catching has been disappointing for most. Too many balls getting by. Kids don't block much any more. Too many trying to pick them out of the dirt. In fairness, a lot of talented pitchers with great stuff (harder to catch).
Thanks Wheels! Appreciate all you do man. Is this your first time showing yourself? Ive been watching you for years & It’s so great being able to put a face to the voice! Keep doin you man, God Bless🙌
That final out is a tough way to learn a valuable base running lesson. He didn't have to run in that situation. The batter can't attempt to make 1st safely on a missed or bouncing strike 3 when 1st base is occupied. I'm sure he'll never forget that rule again.
I don't think he forgot the rule, i think he got caught too far off the bag on a ball in the dirt. The catcher made a clean play and he was stuck in no mans land.
I knew my Maui team was under dogs. However, every team that made it to Williamsport are good teams. Still holding out for another US team. International teams will be a challenge.
Hawaii is a very good team but needs a little more pitching depth. Southern California was the better overall team in the West Region but Hawaii has a dominant ace & won a one-and-done championship game.
Hawaii’s 1st & 2nd basemen are both excellent. Their 3rd baseman made 2 fielding errors & a throwing error that cost them the game. Still they forgot to bring their bats, except for Taveras, who got a base hit every time.
I think so Much depends on if Hawaii has their ace available..? I mean, plus you kind of have to stretch your ace if you are in their spot now - each team will be progressively better and they gotta win 5 in a row now 😲
Other than Tavares, Hawaii doesn’t have enough pitching to get them thru. Nevada is always good at baseball. A few years ago, these teams would’ve been playing each other in the regionals.
I didn't think their pitching was bad in this game. Just not able to completely shut down the other team from a pitching standpoint. I don't know of another team that has 2 shut down pitchers. I think their defensive mistakes cost them this game. I think if they clean that up they still have a chance.
@@tonytoni1150 Not disagreeing as they will run out of pitching if they go all the way especially having to go through the bottom bracket. The coach has been managing the pitching situation pretty well but it will be harder now that there isn't a long break between games.
That catcher for Nevada with a great heads up play. No hesitation he came up firing. What a way to end. I do think Nevada has a better chance then hawaii anyways. Hawaii pitching hasnt been good outside of the Ace. tonight might have been the best pitching by their staff since districts and they still lost.
Takahashi was Hawaii second best pitcher during regionals and they have yet to pitch him also he should be top 4 in the lineup nothing lower check his stats
NV plays their 3rd game Tuesday vs TX. Winner will be 3-0 and automatic seed in US Final. Loser will be 2-1 and join the other teams with 1 loss. If you lose twice, your out. The US Final will be between the 3-0 team and the last remaining team with only 1 loss.
I know how dbl elimination works, but why did Pa have to play 4 games, while TX only played 2? That doesnt seem fair. Every team should have to play the same amount of games in a given time span; like every team should have 2, then 3... games under their belt.
Hawaii in all honesty probably shouldn't be there these Tournaments are supposed to be Double Elimination except for the Championship Game and they Lost to California in West Regional and should of had to beat California Twice but snuck out of Town with 1-1 Record against California and they most likely weren't going to win 2 games because their pitching is their liability so far.....Ball is moving around field to much and allowing Base runners to Rome around the Bases that it's a problem when you in close games no doubt about it...
This Hawaii team is overrated, it’s going to be Japan or Chinese Taipei, that wins it all. Not counting out Venezuela, they just have a harder road now. But it will definitely be an international team. Cheers, watching from Scotland 🏴. Any other non-Americans here?
Japan just snuck past Venezuela. Japan is always a favorite to win and Chinese Taipei. Japan has won it all 11 times and Chinese Taipei 17 times. I enjoy watching the way Asians teams play,they are very respectful.
@@MrJking065 I said the same thing after watching the Japan game today. All of them are all around respectful, even the way the pitchers gently rest the ball on the mound at the end of the innings😂
The problem I have with some international teams is that they select talented players from a larger pool, whereas the American teams are all stars from their local municipalities. Also, some international teams have been known to use older kids.
FYI Warriors use to paint their finger nails. The first recorded use of nail polish was in China in 3000 BC, and some believe it may have originated even earlier in India during the Bronze Age. In 3200 BC, Babylonian warriors began painting their nails with black or green kohl to indicate their status. The upper class wore black, while the lower class wore green, and they would also match their lips to their nails. The Chinese also used nail polish to differentiate between social classes, with those in power wearing red.
@@MrJking065 Makes sense. 3 cultures I find repulsive. Societies that were known to be bi-sexual. Hey, if you wanna be a terrible example for your children....I say go for it. We need to find more ways to confuse our young men anyway. FYI "Warriors" who paint their nails are not warriors. They are simply ZESTY weirdos
Who made these terrible brackets? How does nobody else take notice? Why the hell did neveda and Texas only have to win 2 games to move on to quarterfinals?? Meanwhile Hawaii and Florida had to play 2 and be in the same position as Nevada and Texas, with less pitching in there arsenals. How is this freaking allowed and fair?
Teams keep playing until they lose 2 games, then they're out. NV plays TX Tuesday. The winner becomes the only perfect 3-0 team and gets automatic seed in the US Final. The loser joins the other teams in the lower bracket playing elimination games. The team left standing with only 1 loss plays the perfect 3-0 team in the US Final.
That Hawaii 2nd baseman is a little beast same with the Nevada catcher he is something special!
Nevada catcher is a spark plug.
Hes a solid stud!! a protege after my own heart!!

He's on steroids
Mahalo for sharing!! Chee Hoo Maui❤❤❤
Thanks Wheels! Appreciate all you do man. Is this your first time showing yourself? Ive been watching you for years & It’s so great being able to put a face to the voice! Keep doin you man, God Bless🙌
Amazing how well these kids transfer from fielding to throwing, heck of a game!!
Man what a game...super smart play to end it.
Very impressive win. Congratulations to Nevada.
@@mftepera would like to see if they could hit off the ace that boy been striking people out.
@bigjs967 yeah but that's all they have. Just that 1 pitcher. You need several to be able to get far.
Nevada showed up and showed out. Good game guys.
Wheels, your LLWS coverage is great! My favorite content on TH-cam.
Nevada’s Catcher & Pitcher are pure gamerrrrrs 💪🏽

As I said before this is one of the most competitive LLWS I’ve ever seen ! The USA championship game will be absolute cinema
dude said the exact same thing last highlight video
Bro these USA teams are so trash whoever plays the international is cooked
@@DeclanSabean nah internationals going to use their best pitchers before championship
I knew my Maui team was under dogs. However, every team that made it to Williamsport are good teams. Still holding out for another US team. International teams will be a challenge.
nah 2017
You are a beast Wheels
holy shit a face reveal 😭
Thank you Wheels. The LLWS is always fun.
I really though Hawaii would be unstoppable. Congratulations Nevada.
Western region finally blinks. California won the winner’s bracket, and Hawaii the year before.
You have to be pretty good to make it to Williamsport. Can’t wait to see who is the US champion and who is the International champion.
Hawaii didn’t win last year either .. only one year were they really dominant

Way to go Nevada ! keep it up , stan from nm.
Let’s go Paso Verde keep doing your thing!
Great game! Nevada's pitcher did well. The boys from Maui will be back!
he was painting
Hawaii vs Pennsylvania will be a great game. I hope Newton will be able to come out on top
I think so
Much depends on if Hawaii has their ace available..? I mean, plus you kind of have to stretch your ace if you are in their spot now - each team will be progressively better and they gotta win 5 in a row now 😲
Luke Lentz is my little cousin, Go Nevada!!

Just think, Nevada didn’t even use their ace today
great game all around! Beautiful way to end the game as well
After watching some of these games, I'm seeing some sick curve balls, wow.
Outstanding players on all teams
Rare to see that many defensive miscues from a Hawaii team.
True dat..."blonde moments"😅
I counted 3 at 3rd base.
As always wheels you seem to outdone yourself!!! good job!
Wheels looks exactly how he sounds😂
yo no cap the Nevada pitcher was painting
Let’s go Nevada!!!!
Thank you Wheels
Let's go Hawaii!!
I got Florida winning it all, yesterday’s game will motivate them
excellent videos every year so we just subscribed
Great job boys
The starting pitcher for Nevada reminds me of Colin McHugh
They should make a rule where the first base coach can’t signal safe every time there’s a play
On the double play, the runner was actually safe.
Doesn’t matter he isn’t making the call lol. There’s instant replay as well.
@@Brandon-qd2lb correct , just super annoying
That catcher for Nevada with a great heads up play. No hesitation he came up firing. What a way to end. I do think Nevada has a better chance then hawaii anyways.

Great coverage. Gj
Wheels !!! 😀
Viva Las Veg.....Henderson!
Thanks
Takahashi was Hawaii second best pitcher during regionals and they have yet to pitch him also he should be top 4 in the lineup nothing lower check his stats
maybe cause he’s hurt?
@@thekingelp3551 he’s literally playing what do you mean
@@sportgeek2028 don’t think he can pitch
Nevada didn’t use their ace today either
@@thekingelp3551 oooh ok
Those rich kids in Henderson are not bad. Doubt they can go the distance but bravo rich kids!
Guaranteed Nevada got Hawaii kids on their team.😂
Lets go Boerne,Texas
I guess they changed the rule cuz first base was not vacant when the third strike was dropped. Not sure why that wasn't the end of the play.
Rule not changed Hawaii runner attempted to steal second for some reason
2:38 the kid saw the catcher go down, he should have jumped over him rather than run around to where the catcher could tag him.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING 😭😭😭 As soon as he saw him dive to the ground, he should've jumped over him. Regardless, they end up winning 🙂
@@supergio4551 He didn't have on his Air Jordans! I know this ain't basketball!
Thanks wheels
A wise man once said if your not first your last
tough way to lose a game
What were the "odds" in Vegas...😅
Wheels looks like Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas.
Best Nevada team ever ?
Good game Maui. Still in, little bit harder road. Let’s see if you’re resilient. Maui no ka oi?
WHEELS FOR PRESIDENT
Can someone explain why Hawaii had to play a 3rd game while this was Nevada's 2nd game?
I cant answer that, but i do wonder why also..
NV plays their 3rd game Tuesday vs TX. Winner will be 3-0 and automatic seed in US Final. Loser will be 2-1 and join the other teams with 1 loss. If you lose twice, your out. The US Final will be between the 3-0 team and the last remaining team with only 1 loss.
LLWS seriously needs to invest in better chumpire crews. Balls and strikes suffered horribly all week...
Really bad call on that Double play 100% Safe
Florida taking it baby maui can go cry
Avery Coves
I know how dbl elimination works, but why did Pa have to play 4 games, while TX only played 2? That doesnt seem fair. Every team should have to play the same amount of games in a given time span; like every team should have 2, then 3... games under their belt.
JIMMY IS MY SCHOOL FRIEND
Hawaii threw that game away.

Hawaii is cooked
No there not they could’ve have purposely lost this game they can just use Tavares against New York
@@JunsuhNFLyeah they're done lol 😂
@@Hamp72 how? Tavares can pitch against New York
One loss and you say they are cooked.
@@Mento670yeah.. because one more they’re out
hawaii needs a new third baseman we cannot throw it away in a clutch situation like that smh
The kids been clutch through regionals, 1 bad play and you want him out?
Guys in the bigs make errors too. You try to minimize errors but stuff happens
Runner on first doesn’t know the rules somehow
Hawaii was not on his best ..first games they where a lot better...
Good game and congrats to Nevada. Anyone think the ump was squuzing HI pitchers and giving the same or wider strikes for NV? Asking for a friend
Cement shoes ~ mob rules
Hall Susan Jones Ruth Thompson Matthew
I would like to see less celebration by these kids over just a hit….
😓😓
no way that nevada pitcher thought it was a routine flyout, bro got negative aura for pointing
it was, cf went back and didnt read it in time

I think Texas could win as well
This wasn’t hawaiis best team Oahu usually has the best teams tbh other island is ok
This Hawaii team was absolutely trash tbh next time get an oahu team not Maui respect to Maui but oahu got way better talent
Tell Oahu win the state tournament next year then 😂😂
@@InicityHBTL I’m not gonna say why they let Maui go into the tournament but they do look last year?
What are you talking about? The boys from Maui beat the best team from Oahu (Kaneohe) twice to make it to the mainland. This year, Oahu was junk!
Wow, even got male parents painting their nails. SMH

Its always a good day when Hawaii loses. The people here think that their players are the greatest baseball players in the world.
I think the American teams are the worst in years. Japan will win it all

Texas has a good team.
