>When Jericho took the mound anyway last week, the opposing team forfeited the game, packed its gear and left, his coach said.

Honestly, what the fuck?

Well, 9 years old is like the first year of kid pitch. Before that you had coaches throwing probably 20mph so it's a pretty noticeable difference. I remember 40mph was about average for a pitcher in the 10-11 age group with the highs in the 50-60mph range. 40mph is pretty exceptional for a 9 year old, especially if they are accurate like this one.

The controversy bothers Jericho, who says he misses pitching.

"I feel sad," he said. "I feel like it's all my fault nobody could play."

Next year, Reds management will trade Edinson Volquez to the New Haven Youth Baseball League for Jericho Scott.

If you made another one, with all the Shawn Johnson rage going on, she would most likely win.

Just move the kid up a level. His old league dosen't have to worry about 8-9-year-olds potentially getting hit with a 40MPH ball, he gets to play to a level that can take faster balls.

Dude, that kid is so fucking obviously 7. I can't believe they think we're stupid enough that they can parade him around as a 9-year-old and expect us not to notice. I hope he gets disqualified and has his fastball stripped from him.

I really don't understand how he's even a decent pitcher. Aside from his best pitch being the knuckleball, you'd think players would be able to adjust to his pitches by the time they get to the plate.
