| March 13, 2024 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament technology This is like stepping on the plate for an out. Everyone does it once! Comments will be coming soon. |
| Dec. 25, 2023 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Merry CHRISTMAS I agree...Merry Christmas to all you guys! I'm not supposed to still be here...but for some reason I am. Hope to meet as many of you as possible. Papa T |

| Sept. 25, 2018 papa t | Topic: Product review Discussion: Products and vendors I would like to see it. I will usually buy an item or two at the big tourney's. Hey Vinny...I know this is "drifting"...but good luck this weekend! We play next weekend. |
| Dec. 13, 2017 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Survey Mine doesn't work...but I'm also curious why 1 and 1 with 1 to waste is not an option? |
| Nov. 21, 2017 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The "ROCK SOFTBALL" Billy Mac...hope you heal 100%! Here's my 2 cents. I almost got hit as a runner at 3rd. One of my big guys tried to sneak one between me and the 3rd baseman(Marquize don't ever do that again please!!) Not sure how I was able to get out of the way...but somehow dodged a big bullet to the head. I'm actually shocked that more guys don't get hurt. Maybe just a testament to good players! We play in the 50's and it's crazy how hard and fast those balls come off the bats. I did notice tho as an outfielder that those balls don't travel as fast when we throw them. I don't know if it's the cushy cover or what...but it was weird thinking you had a guy dead on the bag and the ball took a little extra time getting there. Anyways...my 2 cents on the balls...and I will see you guys on the fields. |
| Nov. 9, 2017 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA thank you Vinny...even tho Mesquite is small...you are gonna like it better there. Not sure you can drink in St George past 9:00 in the evening. Just sayin there is a extremely large church group presence there! Congrats on doing well in Vegas. Now I will add to the Vegas part. I say that going to 4 days in Vegas makes it that much more difficult for us that are still working! Only way it works ok is if we get to play night games on Thursday. Most of us come in on Thursday anyways...but early games would force us to come in on Wednesday. I can see alot of guys not being able to do that. |
| Oct. 4, 2017 papa t | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Schedule for 40's World Vinny...I knew you had skills...I just didn't know that math was one of them. Hope you guys do well Kid! I will see you at one of the next local toureny's. Good Luck |
| July 5, 2017 papa t | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 55 yr old very good player Hey Zeets...this is Mike Terry (Papa T). We may be in need on our 50AAA team. You can give me a call at 480-220-6205 or email me at miket@anyazhome.com. |
| Oct. 27, 2016 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Speed up rules I agree with Bob...I'm not sure it's broke. In my opinion...most of the games are done pretty well and don't have issues with slow play or wasting time. Every team can police themselves and if you have issues with the other team...bring it up to the blue. I would be curious if anyone has stats on playing 2 innings at once. It would definitely save time...but we have all played in games when you either go cold or hot between innings. If the team you are playing gets hot and you let them do 2 innings...you can go down quickly. On the other side...you can get hot and do the same. I guess I would be curious to see how those play out. |
| Oct. 3, 2016 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 50AAA Finals That almost makes me feel better that we lost to Escobar in 1st RR game and lost to WC Thunder in 2nd RR game. I said almost...nice tourney everyone! |
| Sept. 27, 2016 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: In need of an outfielder for Vegas next weekend Thank you for all the responses. We got it covered and looking for ward to seeing everyone out on the fields. |
| Sept. 24, 2016 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: In need of an outfielder for Vegas next weekend Az 50 AAA team need an outfielder for Worlds in Vegas next weekend. Had one guy cancel and one guy hurt. Please respond here or you can call me at 480-220-6205. Thanks, Mike |
| Nov. 4, 2015 papa t | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 2015 Winter Worlds/Phoenix and team for 2016 Going going gone...you sound like a Sr version of Domingo Ayala. Are you his pops? He has lots of vids out...you should check them out. |
| Nov. 4, 2015 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS This is not a good idea. I have found that in Sr softball middle has not been a big issue. Who's gonna move the screen on a throw from the outfield to the catcher? Or even a slow roller to the 3rd baseman? |
| Nov. 20, 2014 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Suggestions for 2015 with regards to homers...I have always liked the one up rule. Give the respected divisions their alloted homers, and then it goes one up after that. If you are a team that doesn't hit a bunch of homers...the other team can only hit one more than you. |
| Nov. 8, 2014 papa t | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Thank you It says it's just tentative...but it would be better if we have to travel to go to Papago on Friday evening instead of DW. I would think that something could be figured out. DW may work out...but it has a chance to be a disaster. |
| Oct. 4, 2014 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: JEALOUSY AND ENVY ONE OF MANS MANY WEAKNESSES Well said E6...you guys have an opportunity to help bring Sr softball to the forefront based on your name. Don't let Your Ego's get in the way. Saying people are jealous and envious is a stretch. I may have a little Envy for all you guys that so happened to have the Big genes. I'm 5'8" and would have loved to have been your size...but that's the way life is. I can still play ball at this age and at a competitive level. That should be the most important part...not who can hit the farthest ball. Being able to play an athletic game at our age is actually impressive...after all we are getting Old! Anyways...bring good to the game...not more BS...there is plenty of that in the world. |
| Oct. 1, 2014 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas Updates. . I'm pretty sure that no one is calling Dave or any of the staff lazy! They do a very good job of handling that many teams, players, problems, etc. Didn't just stumble on to the board, it just so happens that we came, we played, we paid, and we lost late on Saturday night. So, next day we get back on road to go home and are curious as to the teams that were still in it and how our bracket finished up. In two weeks, we will be looking at the next tourney, not what happened last one. Other associations have figured a way to do it. |
| Sept. 30, 2014 papa t | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas Updates. . My Apologies...the tourney is well run...that's just something it seems like a lot of people ask for. No biggie! Next time I will wish for more wins |
