Well you and the boy are the same height, so there’s that.

He's a touch taller, but I'm heavier

How is he playing on a Baton Rouge travel ball team? I thought the team traveled. I didn't know the players had to travel to go to practice.

His parents must do nothing but little league.

Not sure why this is absurd. This kid just made a list of 24 kids who will Trey out for Team USA at that age. Seems like a pretty big accomplishment if you ask me. Just think of all the travel ball kids at that age and he was selected as one of the 24 best in the country.

This was always a thing. That's why they have youth baseball camps. And if you were good the University would send you birthday cards.

All these loser parents think their 12 year old is going pro. So then they do a bunch of dumb shite like this and stunt his development. Putting all that pressure on a 12 year old and building it up in his head that he's some superstar is just fricking cringe. This is the male equivalent of pageant moms/kids.

Typical garbage post from Mingo

How do we feel about this tweet?


How about you go and complain about it on the recruiting board where people bring up 8th and 9th graders being offered scholarships. What about AAU ball players and little Bron Bron all over Twitter?

Oh. That’s right. The OT has a serious problem with travel ball and can’t let it go. I forget.

I remember when Moses was going to bring us to the promised land at 12, but it turns out that’s when he peaked.

It wasn’t always to this level of stupidity. It’s gotten WAY out of hand the last few years. Like all things it started out with good intentions, but had turned into a money making machine.

You've never played in the NFL, you aren't allowed to have tkaes on it.

You've never been president of the United States, you aren't allowed to judge Biden.

You’re absolutely right man, my apologies.

Having kids and watching sports on television are in the same fricking ballpark. Totally relatable.

The logic is exactly the same, but you don't want to make the logical leap because it hurts your slackjaw opinion.

Although I'm not sure what having kids really has to do with making Twitter graphics about a 12 year old.

My boy Jaxxton would put his weak sauce in the cheap seats and and strike him out easy. He's 5'9" 175 and already on his first tren cycle
