Mitch you are right on. All SS's and OF's with good arms must be banned immediately.

I just cringe at agreeing to anything that GT has ever said. But I want the Ultra II's to stay.

It has looked like most Associations want to abandon the Major Plus division. Going back to having just three divisions. That will put a number of the better Senior players without a team. A number of teams will not pick up a top notch area guy and force their team into the then highest division. These players will be like poison. I guess the Association heads are forcing these guys out of Senior softball.
If the top players get forced into AAA division. What pitcher wants to pitch to them.
Do you guys remember when Softball was a great game.

MK39, I have finally chosen to respond to your attempts to lesson the impact of a thoughtless statement made by a good friend of yours. I would have to agree that G.T. is an honorable person. Or as you said „Lets stay focused on the real problem here, Cheater bats.‰ Once again you miss the focus.
That is not of issue here. That is an issue and should be dealt with. But this was a post about a felonious statement. The carelessness with his amount of authority was beyond comprehension.
You say that we are caught up in the numbers. Yes I for one am. But they are not my numbers. They are G.T.‚s numbers that I find offensive. I pray to god that he as I believe are not accurate. I do understand that regardless of the numbers there is some problem. But it is his numbers and the forum he chose to throw them out that I have a problem with.
To turn the coin. You M.K. have a great business. I have bought bats from you and been very happy. But I am sure that with the volume that you do there has been some deals that have not gone well. If that one customer that was unhappy came on here and let us all know that he believes that nine of ten deals you do are bad, I would find that upsetting.
These kind of thoughtless comments are something that none of us should tolerate. So yes I am appalled at the numbers. With G.T. being a man of integrity I would expect him to do the honorable thing and resign. You can not just blatantly profile that many with out seeing some fallout. Too bad we can not impeach.

Legends, I know very well your plight.
Welcome to the ridiculous world of the Senior ratings. Where politics, vindictiveness and stupidity rule.

Sticks, you bring up a good point. Because some bats are much better than others. Those better ones must have more flex. But that is what the machine is going to check. Not too good.
I am KillAbrew and I approve this message.

I just read the article also. I am sure that none of the bats we have are altered. My team plays major 55 and only has 5 U-2's in the dug out that we do share. The price would scare any of us away.
90%+? That is a bold statement by a disgruntled player. One that should have never been said. To make a statement like this one only hurts an already fragile game. Then a news paper publishes it. Even worse. Way to go SSUSA.
I also would like to see some facts. There has only been one time in Senior ball for me 7 years that I have even wondered about a bat that was being used.
I welcome any testing method that will help. But don't just run your mouths with out some facts. The game has been hurt enough because of money politics. Now here we go with so-called respected people doing more harm.
If there are altered bats, then yes get them out. But this article does the game no good. You lose points big time for this one.

Discussion: DOCTORED BATS

I do not care about doctored bats. I think that teams sandbagging is a bigger problem. That is cheating at it's worst.

Discussion: So Cal Mavericks are done.

With the Mavericks gone I know my friend Bruce Walker (Walk) is looking for a 50+ Major+ team. If there is a team that would like a hitter like Walk in its line up please reply here. I wish he could play on our 60 team.

STONEMAN: Sticks is right. Here is the first thing that came up on the screen.

SHOUTING
Chatters and people who post on Usenet will often tell others to stop shouting. It's another way of saying, "TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK." When someone is TYPING AN ENTIRE SENTENCE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, that person is SHOUTING. It is not proper netiquette to TYPE IN ALL CAPS, especially in e-mail.

In fact, it's annoying. If you're in a hurry (or want to do what many people online already do), then type in all lowercase-unless you want to imply that YOU ARE SHOUTING!

See Also: case sensitive , chat acronym or chat acronyms.

Better not question Sticks.

Discussion: breakin in new bats

Terry, the reason those others use a tree or a bowling ball is to more precisely hit all areas of the barrel. So the whole hitting surface breaks in evenly. A hard thing to do in BP. Both processes do wrok well.

Making fun of names is not nice T.Dork. But I do understand your theory of evolving to the past. Good idea. Please by all means use your wood bat and be happy. Just don't ram it down everybody's throats.

Discussion: Bat Standards

All of you complainers need to adjust. Everything evolves or it dies. We all love the game or we would not be playing. I for one am sick and tired of all the complaining. Play the game, have fun or talk to the Associations. Don't fill the boards with this bs. Mick I do appreciate in your post you referred to starting a league. But this is a Tournament board. We have been subjected to this over and over.
