| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 How is this comment not disparaging, SSUSA, in intent and content and it characterizes Gary C and his posts yet you continue to support him in direct opposition to your standards of conduct for this site. Not only does this appear wrong it begs the question why. Why DO you continue to support him in contradiction to your own standards for inappropriate behavior on this site? |

| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Poll on discussions and posters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woody, you old Hall of Famer, you. Good to have/see you back on line. You see? It all just goes to hell when you're not around. That Frog story is, sadly, a very telling little allegory about life that lots of us can relate to. Ouch. How's GSF doing and will you guys be in Reno for SPA over Labor Day? |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What would you do I agree that a screen is not the best idea for senior ball as there are other simpler more effortless ways to protect a pitcher but they are MUCH better than going to significantly restricted flight equipment. You know my views by now. Lively bats and balls or more specifically a good bat/ball combo is essential to our game. If we have to have screens, the great majority would go along with them. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Poll on discussions and posters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't tell you, Birdie. It's something to do chat line/box lingo I do believe. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Sorry Bull. I've offered a couple of times and will again to Mark to take whatever conversation we might have that would be constructive to us off line but sadly he has declined. I'm open to him and his contact any time now or in the future. And yes, you got me right and what I have said. I don't have or own a rolled, endloaded or shaved bat. I have said numerous times that cheating destroys competition and removes the real contest and all the honor from winning regardless of how it is effected which to me would include cheating with a shaved or loaded bat. I personally do not consider Bat Rolling cheating. It's the same thing as breaking them in to me in understanding and effect. And I simply do not care about this rule for myself and anyone else. There, I've said it again. I don't care about it and most of the guys/players I've talked with don't either. And that's a fact. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Now I know why you know so much about situational ethics, Mark because you exemplify them. If you are concerned about morality or my moral stand regarding any of this "Stuff" you or anyone can email me and we could talk it out/through like accountable, respectful and caring men again sparing the website and it's contributors having to listen/hear us any longer. But you have balked, sir. Let in the winning run without even throwing a pitch. We all have grown and changed with our experiences in life, Mark and it's sad that you have claimed the high road to morality without the follow through or foundation it takes to want talk one on one with me. I've talked with Gary S, Jeff, E4 and many, many others and have found not only our differences cleared but that we are genuinely fond of one another. You were right. Situational ethics can be a very slippery slope as we all can plainly see. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Mark. Consumer morality???? C'mon, man. You gotta do better than that. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Tater. If I was a cheater I might be be worried. I don't even beat my bats against tires which I've been told is altering a bat legally speaking. Would you say so, sir? |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 SSUSA and posters. How is Gary C's above comment not disparaging enough to be removed by SSUSA policy and why? |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Mark. You're twisting in the wind but let's take it off line and spare the less philosophically inclined. joerinaldi56@yahoo.com |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 And Mark, thanks. It's great to be recognized, anymore. Times are tough, so much competition, ignorance and greed. People seem to forget where everything comes from and who keeps them in existence. And you are forgiven, my son. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 The kids are just being kids and following the older ones, us and their elders who tend to run and control everything they're involved with. It's a TERRIBLE, terrible abdication of moral responsibility that would let the kids suffer for our very own lack of leadership and organization that has promoted and allowed them "make sure" they have a good time and are not cheated themselves when the go to a tournament. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Robert. I would say in all respect to you a quote from Jesus himself, "Let he among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone." |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 What case would that be, Mark. A suit case? Email me as you're truly concerned about my stance and it's underpinnings. I'll gladly share my thoughts and concerns with you. If not, you tend to have little to say that would concern me or command my attention. Situational ethics would only apply when the question or challenge itself was moral and not seeped in competition and self interest like as in the selling, use and promotion of bats and balls for profit. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 52 Core Ball 4x4 is 100 per cent right. It's with real pitching that it counts and then add a pitcher who knows that you have to under cut it to hit it well and you will be pitched very short and very deep to keep the hitter from being able to cut under it. I hit the best version yet of the 52 x 275 ball, the Micro Cell Version and it stinks . You hit it hard it feels and goes no where. You undercut it it floats through the air. It never feels like you hit anything when you hit it. No feel or sense of impact. These balls are counter intuitive to a natural swing, will kick like brand new tennis balls off anything hard and will create more tension driving down the overall satisfaction we, the players get, from playing our game. The bat/ball combo as we all should know must be hot enough to sustain the interest and joy in playing softball and the 52 ball I have hit just doesn't cut it. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Best quote is from Krishna Murti "It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." and last night when watching the ending segment of Braveheart, William Wallace was asked what he had to say about being treasenous to his king by the Judge of the highest court in society and he replied that he couldn't remember ever swearing allegiance to him. You go, William Wallace. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Hey Birdie. Thanks for the warning. You're a gem. |
| Aug. 18, 2011 einstein | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Absolutely, Mark. The only laws that are immutable for a conscientious and moral person are those that come from the sacred relationship between him/her and God. Notice that precludes you, or SSUSA or any corporation from entering any such relationship, I'm sorry to say. And last I checked God wasn't working for Worth or Combat or DeMarini or SSUSA, but I could be wrong. What I said and stand behind is I "don't care" about rolled bats being deemed illegal by any "body" on earth. And that most of the players I have talked with "don't care" either because it seems more of a manufacturing and Association protecting measure than a measure of fairness on the field as relates to real players like me. Is "not caring" a crime in and of itself about anything man made or the product and by product of entities lobbying and cutting throats in the market place for market share and influence??? Is it a crime to appeal to higher sense of morality than what we find in a MARKET driven economically based society or subset of that society? Is it? You know better than that. I find Mark, the most egregious violation of the sacred responsibility between God and men like me is when others, as you seem to be doing decide for us (me and God) just what it is I should be thinking, feeling and doing about anything on earth at any time especially from corporations and Associations who spend their best energies on competing in a market place for their identity and survival through OUR support. Mark. I love to talk about life, morality, reality, religion anytime and to spare those on the website from having to listen or partake email me at joerinaldi56@yahoo.com and let's 'get it on'. Lively bats and balls are a MUST in order to enjoy our game. There's just no doubt about it. |
