The games are only scheduled for 2 hours. However many innings they can get in 2 hours is allowed. My guess is on weeknights, that's because of the kids being in school.

I’ve sat through plenty of those type of games in my life. Teams that are just terrible, or 1 team is really good and the other team should be in a basement building Lego

My apologies for trying to bait you into being considerate ,understanding person. If it's better I can demean ,berate and demoralize you like the little league coach does. You did say you liked his coaching style after all.

Well, a little over 10 minutes of last night's game was spent trying to ensure his teammate was OK after getting run over by the first baseman. Then there's pitching changes, umpires cleaning off the plate, having to put the bases back after slides, and the coaches that decide to teach during the game.

Don’t forget the copious amount of walks.

I mean, we can take politics out of it and I can show you why calling it Indigenous People's Day is dumb.

The holiday is to celebrate Columbus discovering the Americas. Without this, Europeans who migrated in droves to create modern day Canada, the United States, and the majority populations in the Spanish speaking nations wouldn't be here and these countries would probably not exist. That includes probably the majority of us here on BO. The Indigenous People that migrated to North America resulted in no such mass migrations or advancements.

PS: Columbus Day as a holiday was signed into law by Democratic President Lyndon Johnson as passed by the Democrat Senate and Democrat House in Congress.

10 minutes to scrape a kid off the field??

Moving bases?

Teaching is for practice for crying out loud.

Cleaning off the plate takes 5 seconds.

And the juvenile act of holding onto the ball while faking to throw it back to the pitcher to try and get a runner out on the base paths. I hate this the most about Little League. I wish the coaches would shut it down. FT Jr's team rarely does it, but the other 2 teams are famous for wasting game time with it.

Only been in downtown Atlanta to go to the Coca Cola museum and see a Braves game at the old stadium, but here's a link you might try.

The kid had a concussion. You can't move him in a minute. My wife and his Dad (DC Firefighter) worked on him.

The bases aren't pegged down like in the majors and move every time a kid slides into them.

Yes I agree they need to leave the teaching for practice.

Yeah a lot of these close at 10 or in midtown. The closing time is the problem I've been running into when researching. Because several of those are close but 10pm close. Norse brewery I had hope as it's the Atlanta Vikings bar but it closes at 10.

Close at 10 in downtown, does downtown ATL suck or something?

Indigenous Peoples' Day is also a state and city recognized day across the country despite .

In 2021, Joe Biden became the first U.S. president to officially recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day with a presidential proclamation
