The best part of my work as a CZcamsr is being able to provide coverage of sports that may not receive as much attention as they should to the large audience I have built over the years. Many of the sports I cover aren't posted by any other CZcamsrs, which makes this channel that much more important.
One of my favorite accomplishments is revolutionizing the way sports channels create thumbnails. I've adopted two different styles, one with logos on the left and a game snapshot on the right, and the other with the logos in the middle and game snapshots representing both teams on either side.

is a shame, but also am so happy to see these guys fight until the end. Am So proud of Mexico !!!!! 🇲🇽 🔥
Major props to the curaçao 1st base coach! He got 2 calls correctly overturned, the one in the 6th which won them the game
Exactly! That changed the game you are absolutely right, Curaçao had a momentum right there
Lowkey wanted Mexico to win but errors just costed the entire game
Estamos orgullosos de ustedes en Tijuana, gracias por su trabajo y disciplina, sigan amando el béisbol y persiguiendo su sueño de ser los mejores❤👏👏👏👏👏
3-2, 2 outs bottom of the 6th you gotta swing man😭
Mexico handed them the win
yes they did. should have pulled pitcher couple batters before they did in the 6th and then looking at strike 3 couple times in bottom 6.@@scratchacker
To be fair it was a ball and they were down 2anyway so not matter much
@@Dukeuabaufanna it was way to close to try and draw the walk. Two runners in scoring position, hit in that gap it’s a tie game. So you’d just give up?? Wow
@@Dukeuabaufanfreeze frame bud it was a strike
& a good 2 strike call at that
mexico just choked
it happens
curaçao & Taiwan are easily the 2 best INTL teams by far. it’s kinda obvious watching these highlights
Felicitaciones a esas futuras estrellas de Curacao. Que grandes niños
Con ayuda del amp.tus estrellas
Great game good defense , good offense it’s amazing how skilled these kids are congratulations to both teams .
that lefty pitcher from mexico and that shortstop are very solid! wish i could've watched them against taiwan
Bien jugado México! 🇲🇽 🔥
Mal jugado las carreras fueron por errores
Curacao is technically the 2-time defending International champion (2019, 2022). That being said, they will need an absolute gem from Wiel on the mound and a lot of luck to be able to beat Taiwan. Don't count them out just yet though
Edit: Wiel didn't pitch until the final two batters, but Curacao got an amazing pitching performance from Helmijr and a little luck. And that's all they needed. Congrats to the now 3-time defending LLWS international champions.
Technically the two time defending international team? Though mean they won the international bracket in 19 and 22? Who won it in 20 and 21?
@@brianmeen2158there was no llws in 2020 and 2021 was US only
Last year, Taiwan keep their Ace pitcher and lose. This year Taiwan should put Ace pitcher to face Curaçao. If Taiwan put other pitchers to face Curaçao, there is a slim chance Curaçao could win.
Wiel is far from good enough to beat Taiwan! Curaçao has no chance if they throw Wiel!
@@chung-chitien4650that’s how I’d play it. I think they stand a better chance w/their #2 vs whoever the Americans put forth than vs Curaçao. Although I don’t really know, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Curaçao is better equipped to adjust to CT’s fireballer. His offspeed rarely landed for strikes so far so maybe if there’s a team left that can hit his fastball it’s Curaçao. That said, I’d still take my chances pitching him Saturday.
Felicidades Curacao y Chicos lo hicieron bien Viva México ❤
What a battle! These Little league games are more exciting than most MLB games 🤙 thanks wheelz
agree with you
Muy bien México felicidades 💙🙏
Bien jugado mis morros arriba la municipal de TUJUANA

Yu di Korsow aqui! I miss my Korsow. Way to go little men! Congratulations ❤
What a great game! Taiwan is waiting 🇹🇼 Let's GO!!!
Thanks for using their real name
@@brocaraton I'm Taiwanese 🤙🤙🤙
That Partida kid doing some MLB plays... im sure the scouts are looking
That strike 3 call with nobody out in the 6th is brutal
I’m confused about what everyone is mad at here. They’re cheering loud, is that really a problem? Also, you can’t run out of effective pitching and “deserve to move on”.
Agree it’s all about the pitching here. The Mexican pitchers buckled at a bad time
Buen trabajo muchachos!!!!!🇲🇽
LETS GO!!! CURACAO! GGZ Mexico way 2 compete as usual. Fundamentals kids
That first base ump tried to shaft the Curaco kids shameful
Good game boys.. now time to face the best pitcher in llws ever... Bring ur a gameee !!!!
Congratulations to the Curacao team for defeating the Mexican team and will once again compete with the Taiwan team for the international championship
Hope they have legitimate birth certificates for the Taiwan team. Don't want to repeat all that cheat stuff again.
Nada que reprochar, así es el juego, buen equipo, viva Tijuana!
Thank you Wheels
Ssss una chulada de equipo mis respetos para ustedes
Congrats Curacao!! Good luck Sat! Thanks Wheels!!!
Mexico beat themselves.
Curaçao just seems to be a cardiac team throughout this tournament. They win every game by 1 or 2 runs.
Do ur homework on Curacao
@@ferragamodes6769 Not sure what you mean, they won 2-1, 2-1 and 4-2. Sounds like the OP has it right. They did get blown out by AP, but that's not a win.
Their team has been in LLWS for 11 times more than any team in the world. Some members are last year’s 2 place team. They know how to play baseball. And their pitchers are good.
@@arethereanyuniquehandles great pitching and defense is their strong suit and it works damn near every year
Great game. I feel for Mexico. Too many errors though and Curacao capitalized on those.. Congrats to Curacao
cant believe the number of batters looking at strike 3 in this tournament. especially at end of games and with the strike zone the way it is, it boggles the mind. Can someone explain why every team has their batters standing as close to the plate as possible? i can see because of expanded zone for outside pitches but it makes it almost impossible to hit inside pitches. very weird strategy these teams have.
Part of the game man happens in the big leagues too
I have to wonder if it doesnt increase the chance of getting a free hit by pitch on anything thats a little too inside.
Some umps give 6 to 10 inches off the outside corner so it’s impossible for a kid to even reach a pitch with the bat unless they are standing as close as possible.
A number of times the Curacao catcher would set up on the outside of the plate, the pitchers would end up pitching inside but it would blow past the batter anyways.
México tenía todo para ganar, pero sus propios errores fueron los que los llevaron a perder el partido
O el rival fue superior.....
@@hermi8918no, perdieron por errores curazao no hicieron nada para ganar tiros malos que fueron outs seguros y se acaba la entrada, 3 bases consecutivas acabaron con ellos curazao no hizo nada absolutamente
Es todo tj buen torneo no siempre se gana gracias morros jugaron chingon
Congratulations
Subbing out your pitcher that's putting on a clinic for a scared intentional walk. It was such a letdown for what should have been an epic moment of best vs best
Great game! Came down to the pitchers.
No, came down to many errors from Mexico.
What he said at the end what a game!!!
this was my last parlay, ez money
Felicidades a curacao bien ganado...🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Man some of those plays looked major league smooth on the field.
Gran partido de los dos equipos
Que buen partido
Mexico was a great team just one bad game, but curaçao deserved that win!!
OMG i think he is safe. Stop the biasness on a kids (elite kids) game. Shouts out to Curacoa and Mexico you all look like pros out there
Rematch of last years international championship is set. And while I do favor Taiwan to win, I can never count out Curaçao. They are so good in tough pressure situations. They always win low scoring games.
I think if shemar jacobus is pitching they’ll have a chance!
Taiwan isn't a low scoring team though.
today they are hahahaha@@darklordojeda
Top 6th 2 outs.. the player running to second got of of the baseline by ALOT. That being said he’s out and should’ve ended the inning regardless of the play at 1st. Horrible umpires man. That shouldn’t fly, costed Mexico the game.
I agree, they say the rule is that he's only out if he's avoiding a tag. Well he was so far out of the baseline that he avoided the tag by being nowhere even remotely close to being tagged. He was on the infield grass. Should have been called out immediately. The umpires are really bad. The first base umpire made a call that he clearly didn't see because he slipped, he had 2 calls overturned. The plate umpires have been pretty lousy too. Calling pitches really far outside strikes. This plate umpire wasn't that bad today but he should have immediately called that runner out. Oh well, Curacao will be destroyed by Taiwan.
I’m impressed with how these pitchers have been able to get out of jams
Good game Curacao
The umps did the best they could to set up a Taiwan - Mexico final
That strike zone is so freaken high
Mexico got screwed in the 6th. That 3rd out that got overturned when the score was 1-1... yes the runner was safe at 1st base, but the 2nd baseman fields the ball in a perfect position to tag the runner headed to 2nd base, causing the runner to go WAY outside the base path to avoid him, forcing the throw to 1st base. The umps should have called that runner out, which would have ended the inning. Instead Curacao went on to score a few more runs and win the game. Mexico should entered the bottom of the 6th with a tie game and a chance to win, or at least go into extra innings.
Felicidades curazao ese es juego de inteligencia esperar la bola hasta que el picher se desespere y de la base
Muy buen juego ,me gusto mucho el ss y el picher zurdo de México,el arbitro de primera muy mal ,animo niños de México lo isieron requete bien
Shortstop made some great plays for Mexico but the error ended up costing them the game. That right fielder, Jesus, what a huge mistake. Can't make that many errors against Curacao.
Por primera vez en la historia de el torneo un pitcher regala 3 carreras seguidas con boleto en la ultima entrada, no es culpa de los niños, simplemente su manager no preparó el juego correctamente.
😂😂😂
I'm sorry but that pitcher for Curacao looks like my 18 year old neighbor
So??? Your neighbour also black?
@@julianjuliet I didn't pay attention to his color, just that he looks similar to my 18 year old neighbor
#15 must have been VERY excited about this game...22 to 26 seconds :-)
minuto 11:17 save en primera pero el jugador #10 sale al sacate, eso es out ,o esa regla no esxiste aqui? buen partido Arriba Mexico 🇲🇽
the baseline rule only applies during a tag attempt. a runner can’t go more than 3 feet left or right to avoid a tag, if he does he is out. otherwise a base runner establishes his own base path.
since there was no tag attempt, the baseline rule wasn’t called. it would’ve been called if there was a tag attempt
The coach lost the game for not taking out the pitcher after he was over the count. You let pride get in the way coach!
Probably his son.
MEXICO...CURACAO....GOOD GAME BOTH TEAMS .
bro if he would’ve swung, that could’ve been a grand slam. beautiful pitch tho
Mexicos defense let them down. Not only the errors but bad decisions. Throwing to first instead of getting the force out at 2nd with 2 outs led to the game being tied. And throwing to first instead of tagging the runner on the grounder to 2nd led to Curaçao taking the lead.
After the Mexican coach made the pitcher swap everything went against the Mexican team❗️
精彩好球！
Minuto 10:40 desde ahí le robaron a México checaron la jugada de primera más no checaron al jugador de primera a segunda que corrió a una distancia donde no es permitida y eso por regla es out😊
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mexico should have been out of that 6th inning because that runner went out of the baseline to avoid the tag on his way to 2nd
Why’s this not being mentioned more?? It costed them the game smh
the baseline rule only applies during a tag attempt. a runner can’t go more than 3 feet left or right to avoid a tag. otherwise a runner establishes his own path.
the fielder didn’t attempt to tag the runner , that’s why the baseline rule couldn’t be called
curacao is a beast team
Curaçao, Mexico and Chinese Taipei are all very good
Pfft
Taiwan will not hand them the game like mexico did. They had a good run but are about to get schooled.
@@thundermug496 Come again?? they about to get what?
@@thundermug496 You are so wrong and I like it!
11:14 Is it legal as a baserunner to move all that distance to avoid the tag?
Yes, he's out of the baseline so he should be out
The runner moved away to avoid interference to the fielder (not to avoid the tag), that's right thing to do. The fielder failed to show the intent to tag. If he attempted to tag, the runner would be called out. The commentator's comment also suggests the same idea. It's a tough fielder's choice, should be in fielding textbook for young players.
no. he should have been out. whats perplexing is why he didnt try to tag the runner which would have been the thing to do in that situation.
baseline rule only applies during a tag attempt, a runner can’t go more than 3 feet left or right to avoid a tag. there was no tag attempt so it was legal to run that way . if he would’ve attempted to tag the runner, runner would’ve been called out for going out of the baseline
@@thundermug496 the runner was so far away from him he couldn't have made a tag and may not have known the rule.
the strike zone of the umpire was so bad (for both team) and i dont understand why batters dont swing balls near the plat with 2 strikes.
Have to go down swinging, always!
Mexico brought in 1 pitchers cold in the field and 2 off the bench 😂 didnt even use the bullpen to warm them up.
Judging from the way how Mexico pitching collapsed toward the end, that intentional walk might have cost them the game.
Taiwan vs Texas is the better game.
Curaçao vs Texas is the better story.
Wow was rooting for Mexico but fundamental mistakes really costed them. Offense was rather lackluster this tournament besides the game with Canada but otherwise, great experience for the kids. Taiwan all the way now!
Taiwan couldn’t make it!
13:22 pitch was slightly inside but that’s too close to take with 2 strikes, u gotta swing the bat!
wtf was Wiel doing at 2:03 lol
No es posible la ineptitud de los ampaers en jugadas claves . Después de el error catastrófico de marcar seif en un out claro .mexico se vino abajo no puedo creerlo
The kid running to second base ran out of the baseline that’s why the mex second basement had to go first. Should have been called out.
It's going to be tough to beat those 16 year old carribeans.
Shouldn’t have even needed a replay at first, dude running 2 second should have been out simply for running off the base path
El corredor sale de la línea, debió ser out por el corredor en la 6ta alta, si sigue corriendo la línea el shortstop lo toca en out. Pero NADIE lo "vió", estaban concentrados en si era o no safe en 1ra base.
El juego estaba ganable muchos herrores
If ur gonna give curaçao those calls I’m the 6th u gotta do the same for Mexico man but great game
Mexico !
⚾😍🥰
U guys did not see 10:45 and how the kid opens all the way so the second base man cannot tag him obviously he was gonna throw to first instead but his intentions were to tag him look at it guys gime your opinion. That will end up that inning and with one career they would have wom
A pulir esos errores que sigan adelante entregaron el partido
I’ve watched a lot of this LLWS, and I’ve seen some definitely iffy strike calls by the umpires, why why why would any batter let a close pitch go by without trying to get a piece of it.
It was a good run but against Chinese Tepai, I mean come on. We all know what will happen
In the last 3 games Taiwan has only given up 1 run. That’s crazy!
Taiwan is favored to win but props to curaçao for making it to the finals
2-0 for Curacao :)
Curacao win the international game today!
Yes yes we knew🇨🇼🇨🇼🎉
Lol this didn’t age wel lad
after watching most of these games the umps are definitely "kingmakers'
Should have tag on 2 base 10:50
los de curasao estaban tomando en la caseta 😂
Quiero esa gorra de México dónde la compro
12:35 that was high! should’ve been ball 4. mexico would’ve had the bases loaded with nobody out
The umps fuckin suck. Look at the play too 6th with 2 out.. player running to 2nd was way out of the baseline which is why the 2nd baseman had to throw to first late because he couldn’t tag the runner who was on the grass smh
@@bsm6024that was actually the right call. the baseline rule only applies during a tag attempt: a runner can’t go more than 3 feet to avoid a tag. otherwise a runner establishes his own base path.
if the fielder would’ve attempted to tag the runner, runner would’ve been out for going out of the baseline. but they didn’t call it cuz there was no tag attempt
Curazao con algo de suerte ! el coach de México espero mucho el relevo al otorgar 3 carreras de caballito. pero en general quedo asombrado de esta selección y todos estos muchachos de Tijuana son potencialmente prospectos para una carrera en MLB
Do they all have the same bat?
Yo no se de Baseball , pero creo que entiendo si la bola no va correctamente en el lanzamiento en un cuadrado imaginario por que chingaos la ultima bola va super pegada al cuerpo del bateador y le dan el strike ??? si era mas bola no???
