May 9, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Mobile The Edge won't be there. I'll be playing with Southern Elite there. See you then
May 7, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Mobile We did have a second umpire for our "if" game.
May 6, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: Bats Discussion: We need a measurement for bat handle flex. I've been thinking about different bat characteristics. Everyone know we have length and weight. At one time one manufacturer had the swing weight marked on their bats. Some of us still measure our swing weights. I'm thinking manufacturers need to measure handle flex and put it on the bat. The Geezer was known for its flex and I've heard from several that the Ambush also has more flex than other models. It would be nice if manufacturers would measure this flex and have it on the bats. Maybe it would be easier for me to somehow measure the flex on my bats. Any ideas?
May 6, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Mobile I agree with Lefty. For as much rain Mobile had in the previous week (15 inches), the fields were very good. The infields were great but some outfields were sloppy. All in all a very well run tournament. We didn't finish until almost 7:00pm, finally winning the if game. Nice to see you again Joe!
April 25, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: NEED A GOOD UTRIP BAT I've had Freak Plus's that were as hot as a senior bat, just a wee bit smaller sweet spot. I now have a Demarini Cartel that is great, along with a Worth M7. Many of these can be bought used on several message boards for just over $100.
April 19, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The Stutter Step I used it successfully Tuesday night in our league. Just as Crusher said, third strike, the ball probably would have hit the outside front corner.
April 18, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For the Reebok Reps: I heard from a good source that you may see the Melee Legend with different graphics and the Adidas name on it. To my surprise I was told that Adidas was the parent company of Reebok.
April 17, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Disappointed Sounds to me there was a lack of communication among the players and you. I'm not saying who's at fault, just no communications.
April 8, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: Bats Discussion: Tuff Shield I've had mine for 8 or 10 years and still use it on occasion. The reason that it has lasted so long is that I'll only use it 3 or 4 times a year and have gone a few years without using it altogether.
April 4, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready I meant to say "used it in a tournament".
April 4, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready How were you able to hit a bat that didn't hadn't been approved? ;)
March 21, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What is 400 feet.... This past weekend in Montgomery one of the Adictive players hit one over the trees onto a building. Yesterday I went to earth.google.com and measured it, 428' to the front edge of the building. Quite a long shot!
March 19, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Montgomery I think it was smart of the tournament director. There were probably 4 or 5 games that weren't played, saving the assoc money!
March 19, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: BP in Lawrenceville Ga. We hit in Cobb or Cherokee counties. It's maybe a 40 minute drive (non rush hour).
March 19, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Catcher's verbal interference I don't have a problem with talk from the catcher. I'll talk to the catcher some times, other times not. Imo it's part of the game. I do believe it can get out of hand and if it does the umpire should warn the catcher. How about talk from the pitcher? I known several that try to influence the batter... Again, part of the game.
March 17, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Montgomery In the 50 Platinum, Hollis and another team, maybe Randy Smith, had to leave Sunday afternoon, both forfeited giving the championship to Adictive Sports. If they would have played the tournament would have ended late Sunday evening. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
March 14, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Garocket Hi donny, it's been a long time. Freddy is playing tournaments and is also in the sr league at Hobgood on Tuesday's nighs.
March 13, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Garocket Peanut!!! we think and talk about you all the time. Email me at b_fairchild@hotmail.com or call me tomorrow at 770-866-7655 Speaking of Porky Bagwell, he was found today dead in his truck in Woodstock!
March 5, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Not Pleased with Rating System BL,in a perfect world it wouldn't be necessary to move teams us. Either when formed they would want to play in the highest class in which they could compete. If, after a few years, they have improved, they should still moved themselves up. 99 times out of 100 this won't happen and then it is the responsibility of the association to move them up.
March 5, 2013 BruceinGa	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Not Pleased with Rating System I see that Adiktive (C&M)Sports was just bumped to 50 M+ by SPA.
