Can we talk about the girl pitcher Kinley Rasmus on the Alabama LL team that was straight dealing yesterday?

lots of issues. First of all the sibling rule doesn't apply to Challenger division. So if they were claiming a sibling could play in their league because of Challenger then they broke that rule.

Also, they basically had a select team sign up for LL this year, but those kids did not play the minimum number of games (8) in the LL season to be eligible for the tournament...you have to play 8 games or 60% of the season.

I'm surprised the team got as far as it did considering the softball program had already gone rogue.

Holy shite. Schools have started back, it's football season time, and parents are STILL forcing their children to play performative baseball for them??? Baseball season is over, people!

Considering Tulsa's baseball & softball teams were both DQed for eligibility reasons... when do we hit Tulsa National for lack of institutional control & give it the death penalty?


i don't think killing the kids is the answer.

A judge has stepped in and says Tulsa can play.

Tulsa took a note from the ncaa shenanigans. Don't like something? Find a judge!

That Acension team wasn’t nearly as strong as the Louisiana LL winners usually are.

were courts/judges always done stuff like this in sports or did it just start a handful of years ago?

They were never asked to get involved

This whole getting a TRO vs a private athletic organization is new and embarrassing

Reading between the lines on the player eligibility, it looks like they are accused of using the sibling regulation of a challenger division (special needs) player to allow player(s) from another LL district to play on their team. The only issue is they are accused of not actually having a challenger division program. Also they were accused of the standard over using pitchers and not playing enough games to qualify, and when they were called out on it they were going back into gamechanger and changing the data, then submitting the gamechanger data as their proof to Little League. That doesn't work too well if the data before it was edited is what was used for the complaint.


I am glad I missed the travel ball craze and cannot understand any of this post.

thats not a bad thing. but that only happens at 12. Little league baseball as a whole sucks big fat donkey dick.

travel ball coaches & players on average are 10x better than traditional rec coaches & players.

travel kids only play 12u because the rest isnt worth it.

That sucks for those Boerne, TX kids. They already dog piled and celebrated yesterday, making their way back home. Now they have to get their shite together and play another elimination game against a rested team. This is some serious drama.

the ones with teams competing for the LLWS do.

for a while LL said you could not compete in other leagues so no travel kids, then they relented.

then it became you have to play 11 & 12u year

now its you have to play in a minimum amount of games

some leagues still ban only playing at 12 and making all stars but "most".....na

and how are they going to enforce it?

LL has the game listed on their website / GameChanger

Is this idiot judge going to hold everyone in contempt?

This might get wild

By making a kid that just plays 12U year ineligible to make the all-star roster.

If you go look at the all-star roster for AP, Eastbank, and Lafayette for 9s, 10s, and 11s, almost every player on there is going to be a travel ball kid. Those kids are playing both travel and LL.

AP 11s for example....at least 8 of those kids played on a AAA/Majors travel ball team in 2026.
