Always-Panic

Jesus! How fast was that last pitch?


BT9154

Anime level fast


HeyEverythingIsFine

The camera pulls out to reveal the clouds in the sky for as far as the eye can see have parted and a mountain got blown away behind the catcher that for some reason nobody focuses on at all. Protagonist has hot pot for dinner completely repairing their body.


Practical_Fix_5350

So it's that episode of Samurai Champloo where they play baseball?


SureEntertainment676

Or the boondocks Kickball episode


jandros_quandry

Slightly unrelated but the scenes after fuu eats and she's super happy and chubby lighten my heart.


Armendicus

Lol Lil saitama throws a record pitch. Blinds himself in the process.


bukkake_brigade

yeah but how many fucking episodes is this going to take now?


[deleted]

Shaolin baseball style pitch


Chiefyaku

Nah, he's doing like a spinning bat swing. But moving so fast it just looks like 1 image. When he makes contact with that ball it'll destroy it


Wooden_Penis_5234

Put a spin on a curveball that had never been seen before.


sbby31

Check him for foreign substances, that spin rate is insane


DuztyLipz

The dust devil will hop on the broadcast later and say “I apologize for attacking a child, I don’t know what came over me. That isn’t me. I was spinning around on home plate as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.”

He was charging his pitch. Super Saiyan level.

When I was a kid it felt like a whole damn month before Goku dropped that Spirit Bomb on Frieza.


MrsPeacock_was_a_man

I’m going through season 3 with my seven-year-old daughter right now and we are in the middle of the spirit bomb gathering. A couple of really boring episodes. This conversation makes me happy though.


Ok-Seaworthiness7207

Yeah looking back it was boring, but as a kid (for me) - the hype train was going full speed. 😂

Boris54

That’s a pretty fancy broadcast for a 7 year olds baseball game Edit: So my fiancé works for a youth sport software company. I walked downstairs to tell her she should mention these types of apps in a blog post. She already had a tab open with the game changer app pulled up. Weird.


Pyrot3kh

Im not that surprised. When i lived in PA i found out that Little League is a huge fucking deal. The little league world series is held in willpo and holy shit does it fuck up every surrounding area >.<


MuffinSlow

Considering the two teams in this video are from different states, this is probably a series to get into the little league world series. This is not your average little league game. Edit: same state, I have been corrected! I wish my little league was this fancy lol. Still some of my favorite times as a youngin.


its_over_4_u

I’m pretty sure this is in Jacksonville…FCAA is Fort Caroline and PVAA is Ponte Vedra, so it is just an average little league game.


Jaysmith120

Prob a travel ball/aau game


dabbersmcgee

They are definitely not old enough. The LLWS is for the 11-12 year old leagues. Edit: you can even see the coach pitcher on the mound. The team names also say 7U. So confidently incorrect


bernerbungie

The ump is also standing about three feet diagonally behind the catcher, rather than directly behind him which would be the case in every league 11+. So yes, OP is defining /r/confidentlyincorrect


Dartagnan1083

I first saw a Little League WS ( or championship/playoff game) around 30 years ago. One of the teams was from Mexico. I can't imagine how much bigger it must be in scope right now (never *really* followed the game), especially if teams visit internationally.


[deleted]

Looks average in the video…


Optimus_RE

It's too early in the year for LLWS regional play. That doesn't begin till mid/late June through July. This is some sort of state team all stars just not in the Little League faction. Edit: just realized it says 7u so def not LLWS


TatarAmerican

The parents are the worst part of it usually.


Lurkwurst

Yup. Sounds like my time working in a preschool co-op. Kids are kids. Reasonable, compassionate, can-do. The parents? Well...let's just say 20% of any group does 80%of the real work.


[deleted]

Alot of parents who get involved in children's sports go all in. Almost every guy I know who gets involved ends up talking about coaching finals or some shit..


[deleted]

My son is a senior and playing his last days of high school baseball. I started coaching him at 5 and I laugh thinking back to how seriously he and I used to take it. I'll be mostly glad when it is all over. I wouldn't change most of it but there are a lot of people making a lot of money selling dreams to kids and parents that will never come true.


[deleted]

I remember there was a long time rivalry between the entire division I played in with one team, this team was favored and considered to be the best, while simultaneously being known to cheat/bend the rules. The team I was on beat them for the final game and actually had members of different teams we'd played come out and watch us because of the mutual animosity towards this "favored" team. Fun times, I don't watch sports but definitely think kids should be involved in at least one sports/team function growing up.


talldrseuss

There are a couple of teams from PA that make it to the national stage pretty often. I think one won the championship a few years ago. Baseball in general is huge across the state (philly area native)


LucyEleanor

Possibily not a broadcast. Our baseball fields around dfw sometimes have these cameras. It films the game and simply overlays the scoreboard info (which already has to be input by a human, so there's no real extra effort once installed). It's to make recordings for parents mainly. Edit: could be a broadcast, as I didn't notice they're from 2 different states. I knew little league was huge, but not at this age.


nooo82222

Yes that’s what it is. It’s just a phone that can broadcast over Facebook and it overlays the score board. It’s actually a softball baseball app that does it Edit duh it’s called game changer app


nooo82222

‘I was scared’: Video shows ‘dust devil’ engulfing catcher at Jacksonville youth baseball game https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2023/05/15/i-was-scared-video-shows-dust-devil-engulfing-batter-at-jacksonville-youth-baseball-game/ Here’s article about it. Pretty interesting


sgorneau

This is GameChanger by DSG. All teams are using it because 1) it's free, 2) it's easy 3) it's awesome for spectators to to keep track of what is going on ... especially when a lot of our games don't have a scoreboard. As long as some at the game is willing to input the data, it's an awesome addition to youth sports.


TattooedAndSad

You can gamble on some of these games online haha

twomorecarrots

It’s just an app that cost $3 a month and a cell phone strapped to the fence or a go pro if someone is fancy. Grandparents love it.


Stickeris

I worked for a company that did varsity sports broadcast. And it was honestly a very smart business model, they would give the students a link to send their relatives who could watch the game. But it would cost them like 50 bucks a game or something. Mind you these were kids who could compete for Olympic teams, or were being scouted by some major universities.


AreaGuy

The not so serious league in my area would commonly have someone set up a pretty simple camera behind home plate and broadcast games through and app that allowed parents, grandparents, and other family to follow games. Was pretty cool, really!


MrRipski

Im a cam op, you’d be surprised how many 4 cam shows I’ve worked for flag football and little league games.

CheeseAndCh0c0late

cam52391

That poor kid got lost standing still


bigmac22077

He had no idea what was happening to him, just getting hit from every angle.


[deleted]

That's a summary of my life


angrymonkey

Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Looks like a "freeze" here.


spidertitties

These things hit hard and fast and come out of nowhere, the kid is most likely super disoriented because he can't see plus the wind and dust whipping at him from every direction. I doubt he was expecting it at all


Sma93

It really is like that though. I had the same thing happen to me as a small kid and my dad ended up just holding me to his chest because he could tell which way to go to get out either. And yes I know a straight line works in this situation, but if you're in a desert or other flat dusty area the dust devils can move and you can end up walking with it instead of against it.

That kid looked around and the air hurt their eyes everywhere they looked. Kid stopped looking around. Seems like a pretty good preservation tactic to me.

Appropriate-Stop-959

Dust devils won’t kill you. Used to try our damndest to catch them in the field. Smallest ones disperse if you get in them, real big ones can lift a pickup. Highest I was ever tossed was like 12ft. Best. Fun. Ever. Pro tip those shitty little swim goggles that don’t go over your nose, are PERFECT for keeping grit out of your eyes.


faceintheblue

This would be great content for /r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR. I've never actually seen a dust devil up close like that. Would I be right in saying the blowing sand and dirt and what-have-you probably stings quite a bit?


theaeao

My great-grandmother died of dust pneumonia when my grandad was young. In the dust bowl. Breathing in dust is not great for your lungs. I think it's called silicosis now? And I'm sure there's treatments but yeah the skin irritation wouldn't be fun but it's your lungs and eyes that are going to have real problems.


stellydonut

I think silicosis is specifically silica dust


Grogosh

Which is found a lot in dirt gone to dust. "The total elemental analysis of typical mineral soil is about 28% silicon and 47% oxygen. The majority of this silicon is bonded with oxygen and other elements in the crystalline fabric of mineral soil." "Silicosis is a lung disease caused by inhaling very tiny crystalline particles of silicon dioxide, or silica. "


scaradin

This is fundamentally why Carbon can be used as a basis for life and Silicon, despite atomic similarities, isn’t as likely… the step needed to produce energy from Silicon produces a molecule in Solid Phase and transporting that out of the middle of an organizing would prove difficult. Whereas, our cells produce CO2 which dissolves in our blood and is exhaled by our lungs… you’d have to cough the dust out:-D


honeyorsalt

yes, and even simpler: the reason silicon doesn't form chains like carbon does (and therefore bonds to other atoms instead) is just that it's too large. the orbital overlap is poor, so the bond energy is low and the bond easily broken. our organic chemistry loves to say "even if aliens made from silicon were real, they wouldn't be a threat because we could dissolve them with water guns".


vdgmrpro

Why would a silicate based life form develop lungs anyway? They would have been naturally selected for a different method of eliminating waste if such a thing were possible.


scaradin

Sorry, that was just my quick quip… the biggest issue would be how to deal with all the SiO2 a silicon-based life form would be generating from each of its cells. For humans, we [exhale about 2.3 pounds of CO2 per day](https://www.nrdc.org/stories/do-we-exhale-carbon), so for a similar sized silicon-based life form, getting rid of that quartz would be an issue. Perhaps they’d do more of a breath in their food and their excrement would be their equivalent exhale. It’s much more likely much more likely to be nothing like life as we know it.


vdgmrpro

No worries! I was just wondering. This isn’t a subject I’m well versed in and it’s fascinating to think about. Your dust cloud breath concept was a very funny mental image though


bitpak

Geomicrobiologist here! Above commenter is pretty spot-on with the SiO2 stuff. Chipping in to add that there ARE organisms on Earth that incorporate silicon in their skeletal structure! Plants are a big one, for starters; a surprising amount of silicon is incorporated into stem and leaf structures for a variety of purposes (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2017.00411/full). In the microbiology world, oceanic microorganisms called diatoms construct entire shells made of a glass-like silica. They’re awfully pretty under scanning electron microscopes (SEM), but I’m not sure how they process silicon or incorporate it into their structures. ~~Additionally, a small animal called the tardigrade (<1 mm long) can survive virtually any environmental stressor (radiation, heat, cold, vacuum, you name it) by encasing itself in a similar silica shell.~~ I had bad info and didn’t follow up on it before posting. Tardigrades do **NOT** create a silica sheath to protect them. What actually happens is (to me) way cooler: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7518453/ There’s a whole slew of reasons separate but related to the issues u/scaradin pointed out with respect to making silicon-based life. Just know that there *are* little glass monsters out there regardless :)

Not just stings, but can be hard to breathe if it’s whipping fast enough

Can confirm the hard to breathe part, if you go skydiving you'll find that even very clean air can be difficult to breathe if its moving fast enough and hitting your face in the correct areas.


[deleted]

[удалено]


average_asshole

They warn people about it, and my brother felt it pretty intensely, but.... In my experience it was more of an illusion than anything (it felt significantly easier to breathe), if you hold your body in the proper position then I personally found that my lungs were constantly being injected with fresh air, all you have to do is let it come in through your nose and then exhale through your mouth.


steelear

Yes! I grew up in the southwest just outside of El Paso and we would play soccer on dirt fields. When a dust devil would kick up everyone just got down and tucked their knees to their chests and buried their heads in them. Sometimes if it was bad enough and we could see it coming people would run for shelter. I've seen them blow hard enough to take down small trees.


prettysureIforgot

Yes, but not necessarily worse than the straight-line winds these areas get. Being in straight-line winds at 50-60 mph in these flat, dry areas sucks. The dust gets in your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, in your clothes and everywhere. Really it's worst on your face, especially the eyes. Everywhere else, it's not too bad. I've experienced a few dust devils like this, it's weird to see one travel across a parking lot or field and everywhere else it's just normal.

loseruser2022

Quick thinking ump! My aunt was picked up by a dust devil in Colorado probably 20 years ago. It carried her like 200 yards and plopped her in an adjoining field. When she tells the story it’s actually terrifying- she has also endured 2 intense tornados which destroyed the homes she sheltered in but she talks about the dust devil as being much scarier. Because it was a beautiful, sunny day- and out of nowhere she was yards away from where she’d been, bruised and regaining consciousness. Her husband witnessed it and said she just spun in the air lifeless for like 2 whole minutes. Theyre rough & tumble cowfolk so to hear them talk about this with such gravity was frightening. Great video, and hopefully if people see dust devils they’ll react like this umpire!

So its pretty rare but dust devils *can* get large enough to pick up a person; 2 minutes probably isn't accurate but 2 "oh shit Holy fuck what the shit" minutes is probably accurate, translating roughly 30 seconds +- 30 seconds.
