Best Italy team I have ever seen!!! All other get eliminated right away and mercy ruled. Can't wait to see Italy vs. Curacao
I dont think you wanna see that :/ sorry man
Curacoa is gonna win sorry
@@alayamini3 i am scared of that
Curacao got whooped by Panama.
@@Bigpapiofficial933 they barely defeated Italy.
italys gotten better and better, remember the first year they was here and they was aaasssss. dope to see them comeback and win outright
Seeing my cousin at 9:41 hit that double and then seeing his father give an interview on it (also my cousin) was unreal; one of the most exciting things I've seen. Thanks for putting these up man!
so, everyone at the field is your cousin?
just kidding, and congrats to your family members for the big win today and best wishes for the next game. I lived in Roma for a couple of years a LONG time ago, so any team from Italy has a special place in my heart.
Wouldn’t that be your uncle? 🤔😂
@@TWolfyG not necessarily. If the dad is his 1st cousin then the son is his 1st cousin once removed. Meaning he's 1 generation away from being 1st cousin. Making the son's grandfather the uncle.
@@jakefromsf7580 but how can you be the cousin of a dad and his son…
@@TWolfyG I literally just explained it. Think of it like this. You have a 1st cousin. Let's call him Tim. Tim has a son named Jim. Tim is your 1st cousin. And Jim is your 1st cousins son. Jim is also your cousin. Technically, Jim is your 1st cousin one generation removed. If you have a child then your child will be jim's second cousin. If Jim has a child, call her Kim. Kim is your 1st cousin twice removed. Meaning she is 2 generations removed from having the same grandparents. Jim is 1 generation removed from having the same grandparents. And Tim is the generation that has the same grandparents
Wheels comes through again with LLWS highlights this year. Number 1 channel for LLWS
Italy may just did one of the best comebacks ever the momentum juste changed in the 3rd
No way
Francesco carlinee
This is definitely the best Italian team at the LLWS. They barely lost to Chinese Taipei and win here. Very Good.
Taiwan 🇹🇼
Italy made ESPN top 10 play in that game. I would say there were at least 3 or 4 gold glove plays in that game. Italy is good. I can't wait to watch Italy vs Japan.
LLWS so much more fun to watch than regular baseball. Congrats Italy!
For real. LLWS and MLW (major league wiffleball) are the only sports I watch. I'm done with all of them. College too.
I always remember Italy as being so bad in the llws. This is awesome! They seem very skilled and disciplined!
Where in Italy do they play baseball.
I ‘ve never seen a field
I was watching Italy v. Australia on ABC, but when the game continued longer then expected and the US team was starting the tv network stopped showing the Italy game. I was saddened since the game was getting very interesting.
same. they put it on some speciel channel you have to pay for smh
@@jameschea. it was espnews I think after
Wow, what a game!!! Congrats Italy! And mahalo for the highlights Wheels!
Little League may be the purest form of baseball left.
Wheels keep doing your thing
Dude, Italy almost beat Taiwan. In that game, Italy made top spot on ESPN top 10. Italy is a scary good team.
Man, that Carlini kid has a future in this sport, he's really popped for the Italians
Italy for the w what a come back no lie Australia gotta nice left fielder he was on everything keep it up kid u gotta big future
All for a big strike zone at this level but some of those being called strikes are ridiculous. Feel for the kids... this will still be a lifetime memory but could be better
dude this ump loved calling strikes for high and inside lol what a nut
Wowsers! Love LLB, so underrated. Watching from London UK.
Love seeing countries that wouldn't compete much get some dubs! Congratulations to the boys from Italy! 🇮🇹
Thanks Wheels!!! Congrats Italy!!! Way to go!!!!
Thank you Wheels. Congratulations Italy Way to go.
Congratulations to the Italian team for recovering from the defeat. This win is very important. The Australian team lost twice and was eliminated.
The triple play to foul ball was definitely the turning point of this game, Austalia lost all momentum after that.
Not sure why it wasn’t an infield fly?
@@andyfang9262 it was. You see the Plate umpire holding his hand up pointing.
I only saw the highlight. I assume from your statement it was reviewed and changed to Foul? If so, I did see another clip that it did look like the ball was first touched over foul territory. That would be the right call.
@@baseballumpires6901 It was 100% the right call. It bounced from fair into the fielder's glove, who was standing completely in foul territory.
@@sapphirespeedster6466 doesn’t matter where the fielder was standing. Only whether the ball when touched was over fair or foul territory. Just saw another video where it shows they reviewed the play and corrected the call.
It's funny that there are more Italians on the NY team, than there are on the Italian team.
Man, that field has some cavernous foul ground. Those poor kids have to run forever from the outfield to get balls that take crazy bounces out of the infield.
Excelent highlights!!!!
Is Canada still in it?
3:58 That pitch might have literally been a foot inside 😂
yeah, that plate guy didn't see many pitches he didn't like. his timing is way too fast, you hear the start of his strike call about the same time as the sound of the ball hitting the glove
Go boys!!! So happy for them!
Great game, but holy cow that home plate umpire is a JOKE. Awful
Great story about Italy and nice win. It seemed like the Australian outfield was playing rather short, and got burned.
These 2 teams have NO chance.. great game for sure tho
Carlini kid I had a rough first inning but kept his head up and battled the rest of the game! 😎
great video as alaways thanks for the content
This looked like a house leauge game, Australia was as sloppy as the first on defence but I had much higher expectaions for italy they also struggled on defence
Oi mate where were you when you were 12
Yea Australia’s Pitching looked like a Rec League team. Not sure how they made it that far!? 🤷🏻♂️
@@youbluethatone1017 The tournament is ccalled the Little League WORLD Series for a reason. Each of the nations that wins in their respective zones qualifies. I would suggest to you that if not for these tournaments the MLB would be dead before too long. You simply do not produce enough talented domestic players to maintain quality. Look at the makeup of MLB now.
Nice!!
They both did good, but the top of the third inning was the most confusing thing that I have ever seen. They seemed to be very confused about the rules.
Australia was playing good at first but they never recovered after blowing a 5-0 lead
The umps truly don’t know the rules of baseball.
And you le reason for that statement is what?
Carlini redemption arc.
6:00 the umpires not getting that right on the field is embarrassing…
Italy isn’t even trying out there foreal
Early explosion from Australia, Italy explodes later, overall a great game!
That's how the LLWS should be
Australia had some costly errors
@@basedsalty6970 Squid Game: Australia eliminated
Strike zone the size of a billboard.
That was the most confusing triple play I’ve ever watched and I’ve been playing baseball since I was like 4
It’s actually pretty easy. Infield Fly was called so it fair the batter is out. The ball was ruled fair. That is 1. Then runner at 3rd was tagged out returning to 3rd. That is 2. Throw to second. Runner at second returning was safe but the runner at first who had got to second and attempted to retreat was called out for 3.
This video doesn’t show it but I saw another video that looked like the ball was over foul territory when it was first touched. Which would make it a foul ball. Would like to see if this was reviewed or not.
Forza Italia!!! ⚾️❤️
The coaching fell apart for Australia in the 2nd half. Good job tho kiddos
That number 4 Australia pitcher? He acts like he can’t play! Italy looks like they can beat Japan!
in field fly rule must not be taught at this level LMAO
umpires were very late and weak with the IFF call, and when an IFF is uncaught players often panic and run at every level even MLB sometimes
In major league baseball in America they call it the world series which only Canada and American teams play. Little league and junior league baseball are the only true world series baseball. All countries participate.
Olympic Games, World Baseball Classic, IBAF World championships (from 1938). Time to learn.
3:57 so inside…
Gotta feel bad for the australian pitcher in the last couple of innings. Just couldn't hang
Thanks Wheels!!
3:58 idk about that strike looked a foot inside to me
Spoiler alert: Every player is named “Carlinni”
2:34 Strike 3 at the chin 😂
How is Decent Umpiring always an issue at the LLWS!?
Gotta be a way to get some better umpires on these games.
As long as it’s Unpaid it won’t attract the best Umps like myself
ive never seen a game where all the runs where from errors
Italy much improved but their ss hurt them early costing them 2 runs.
Nobody wants to talk about the rat tail on the aussie pitcher?
All these young kids throwing breaking balls at 12 makes no sense to me. At this age all your doing his putting stress on their arms. Teach kids good command with fastballs and change ups instead of relying on a breaking ball to pick up strikeouts.
Carlini my fav player on Italy
Hard luck there Aussies, well played all the same
Good encouragement for a team that travelled so far to reach the finals.
Thx, Wheels.
Seeing a big dip in quality of play this year
Tengo una pregunta el equipo de Italia y australia son de italianos o australianos de verdad? O son venezolanos o de estados unidos? Por qué me sorprende mucho ver a éstos dos equipos en béisbol
After that triple play I face palmed so hard. The bases are loaded he got the hit you have to advance but they all just sat there then tried to all run at the last minute THEN tried to run back. What are you doing base coach?
Do they not have infield fly in the llws?
@@brendanmatuska4445 they did call the IFF, but very late and weak
Hello? Clearly a foul ball…
Why did Australia leave #4 in the game? He got rocked. No other pitchers?
his “arm slot” was insane can’t imagine why he was pitching
The Australian's best pitcher maxed out his pitch count against Canada and played 3b.
Well that was hard to watch
Look for God 🙏❤️
What an absolute game changer that call was. From a inning ending triple play to a 4 run inning
Hard to see a fair foul call get reversed like that but props to Italy!
The call was clear as day. The ball had not made it past first base and the player was standing very clearly in foul territory when he fielded the ball
The only thing bad about the play is the ump didn’t call it correctly before the chaos started
@@thisoneguy6280 If it were more catchable, id conisder it an infield fly. Seriously, those runners were in no man's land in that moment.
@@thisoneguy6280 I thought it was foul when I watched it, but I guess the home plate ump saw it differently on the field. However, fair/foul is determined by the position of the ball, not the fielder. The fielder can be in foul territory but if they touch the ball when the ball is still in fair territory, fair ball. You might know this already of course but it seemed like there was also a slight chance you believed that because the fielder was in foul territory, the right call should be foul ball, but that's not the determining factor
@@davidriedy5977 I was pointing out you could see the position of the player very clearly and when he fielded the ball. Therefor, the ball was clearly in foul territory
@@thisoneguy6280 right, but that's not necessarily a guarantee that the ball would be foul just because the fielder is in foul territory. Most of the times yeah that's how it's gonna be but if you're an umpire and you have to make that call, you can't assume something. To be honest I think the opposite is more common, a fielder is in fair territory but the ball is in foul territory when the fielder touches it
Carlini the goat
6:56 wasn’t that an “infield fly”?
Bro why are these kids not taught to LAY OUT AND LAY YOUR BODY ON THE LINE 🤦🏾 If you are within 3-5 feet you NEED to be diving
Forza italia
GO ITALY GO ..........................................
Umpires are just terrible. Should have been an infield fly rule
Well, it was a foul ball. But otherwise, probably.
Isn't there an infield fly rule?
they did call infield fly (that's the plate umpire and 1B umpire pointing up very late), but it was foul so it was never an infield fly.
These kids are swinging bats way to big for them I cannot believe the couches don't see this them little dudes are having trouble with the bats it takes to long on the swing to get started.
How is the Plate Umpire suppose to have a decent Zone when he standing so high up!!?
You gotta get your eyes lined up level with the top of the Strike Zone for each hitter to have any chance of having a Good & Consistent Zone
That is a false belief. Nothing wrong with this plate umpires positioning.
The quality of play was horrendous for being the LLWS. It looked like the 2 worst teams in the league playing a typical LL game.
Carlini is one of the best players in the whole tournament, especially for his size. His instincts at that age and for where he’s from are incredible.
Not even close. He looked overmatched at SS.
@@herbwhite7384 this is clearly the only game you watched. Easily one of the best defenders in the tournament.
It's been awhile since I've watched LLWS. I don't remember having this many errors and wild pitches in a usual game. And were the fences further back than normal? That left fielder got a lot of balls hit over his head, but he seemed to always be too far in.
I mean these are two weaker regions so there are bound to be more errors
You are right about that, it not the same like couple years ago
Yeah these teams are doing great, but they aren't really contenders. It's more to promote baseball in their respective countries. Watch Japan vs. Curacao and you'll know what I'm talking about.
@@rsn2012 the Japan team this year lost to Canada so I beg to differ. Even the Chinese Taipei teams look weak. My money is on Latin America or Curaçao honestly
Thea umpires need to learn what’s foul and fair
This was the funniest and worst fucking game I’ve ever seen
FORZA ITALIA!
Damn this is what happens when two bad teams have no pitching left lol. They won't last much longer I feel.
the italian kids have really bad hitting mechanics lol, nearly half of them are opening their stance up on their load up away from home plate
that big one was a foul ball what ump`s
Australian LL has been in decline for a while now, only a matter of time before they lose their slot.
They do not have a "slot". They go through a qualification series just like every other team. They EARNED their place at the tournament.
@@flamingfrancis Australia has an automatic slot.
Crazy? clik bait for sure..
That Italy shortstop sucks
these teams are going to get smoked
This is a ⚾ World Series ‼️ International teams from all over the world 🌍 competing. Why MLB ⚾ calls their championship 🏆 series "World series" is baffling 😵💫....Only USA MLB ⚾ is represented. No other international major league is represented.
would be interesting if they did do something like that though, the winners of all the pro leagues across the globe
@@davidriedy5977 That has been done since 2006....time you caught up.
Aren’t infield fly balls automatic outs when you have bases loaded? Lol
a declared infield fly is an automatic out whether the bases are loaded or not... except this ball was foul, so it wasn't an infield fly by rule and no one was out.
@@davej3781 Im talking about the pop up at 6:05 when runners were tagged out. I thought it should’ve been an instant infield fly rule and all runners stay at their bag.
@@jakepiersall8028 right, the umpires did call an infield fly, but they were very late to do it. this may have confused the runners... however baserunners often panic when even a properly declared infield fly is dropped, they suddenly think they have to run. even at higher levels up to MLB runners frequently do the wrong thing when an IFF is dropped. sometimes everyone is safe, sometimes it turns into a double or even triple play.
it's probably because infield flies are actually pretty rare, and even more rare that it's dropped.
@@davej3781 i see what you’re saying but in the video the umpires never raise their hands signaling an infield fly, how are the runners supposed to know there’s no force out if umpires don’t signal them
U1 signals it just as it's about to hit the ground at about 6:08 (and a better view in the reverse-angle replay at about 7:08). then as the camera pans back over home plate, you can see PU pointing up at about 6:13... the later replay shows he didn't point up until well after the ball landed and the batter was past 1st base AND U1 had actually stopped pointing up probably because he saw the ball was obviously foul and was waiting for the plate umpire to make the call. the plate umpire really made a mess of this whole play, because the IFF AND fair/foul calls were both his, and he made neither. plus he was looking up at the ball which any instructor will tell you not to do... the players will take you to the ball when/where it comes down, it's not going to do anything interesting up in the air.
the IFF call was late, weak, and incomplete... but it was made.
Seems to me the talent is way down this year, there always seems to be a player who is dominating the whole tournament. Maybe I’m just not watching all of the games.
Hawaii seems to be doing that
If the ball bounces fair and you catch it mid-air in foul territory I'm pretty sure that's still a fair ball but it's been a long time since I played so I don't quite remember but that's what I think it is maybe somebody can help me out
fair/foul before it passes 1B/3B is determined by where the ball is when it's first touched by a fielder. doesn't matter where it bounced before, or where the fielder is standing, solely whether the ball is on or over fair territory. this was a foul ball by rule, everywhere on the planet, and always has been - nothing has changed since you played.
Did the Dad Shave his beard?
yes. there was video of someone cutting it off with scissors immediately after the game. presumably he'll do a proper shave later.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That kid at third for Aussie. Yeesh...terrible D in this game
"Win" is a word that isn't in the dictionary for many Europe-Africa teams
Ehh, Uganda has won some games at the LLWS. If African teams were allowed back into qualifying they might win more often.
@@ThaNiceMeme why is it called Europe-Africa if African teams can't qualify?
@@RB725GamingHD Well it should be Europe + Africa in theory. Little League was too lazy to regulate African teams to make sure they complied to the rules so they just banned them from competing altogether. Not sure if the ban is still in affect. But it's pretty unfair to the continent of Africa. Ultimately it's another way Little League baseball is behind the curve.
@@ThaNiceMeme Saudi Arabia used guys that were over 6 feet tall, so can you really blame them?
@@MasterOfViewership I mean I don't blame LLWS for wanting to regulate the competition but I do blame LLWS for not regulating the competition and instead just banning places they can't be bothered to go to.
Bad ump
ese pitcher australiano lo que tiene es tamaño porque parece un niño de 8 años
He’s 6 feet 3
