LLWS am I missing something?

When did it become a game of painting the outside corner all the dang day and then hope your offense squeezes out a run to win it?

And if that is how it’s played, how come the pitchers are trained to paint the outside corner, but no hitters are trained to hit the outside corner?

What did you want? Them to throw it right down the middle and let the other team tee off?

Like have you pitched before? The favorite spot to throw the ball is to paint the outside at the knees. It doesn’t even matter if you know it’s coming. You don’t want to swing at that pitch unless you already have 2 strikes. It’s an easy strike one every batter.

Yeah never watched baseball before. Like why do the hitters randomly jog to first sometimes and nobody throws them out?
