| Nov. 22, 2022 garyc | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 Players For 65 Brackets Major league baseball is getting rid of the shift this coming year due to negative affect on scoring and excitement of the game. This came from my wife that is an avid fan and follower of the game. The fans also want to see scoring and more challenging plays. When people hit 70 need to make the game easier. |
| Nov. 22, 2022 garyc | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 Players For 65 Brackets Is the decision going to be made on what easiest for the rules committee or for players who still love to play the game. For this to be done at the high level tournaments is kind of sad to say we have dropped this far. Just making it easier for the few versus work at it to stay on top. |
| Nov. 22, 2022 garyc | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 Players For 65 Brackets I don't think the 65 age group should have 11 players yet. The skill level on the majority of the people is still at a level to play and have fun with 10. Don't dumb it down yet at 65 to 11 players, wait until 70 or 75 when the majority of the people are more physically challenged. I believe the people at 65 that want it are the ones that are already lacking mobility, which is not the majority. Let us play real softball at least until 70. Don't take real softball away yet. If people are concerned with hits up the middle improve the pitcher fielding or bring the extra outfielder into the infield. I look at it the other way, the extra fielder takes hits away from people that can place the ball, which is unfair. This makes sense in league play when more just for fun, but in a national tournament at the highest level allowed, why do it at this age? Maybe do at AA level at best? Only people not capable at still playing at the high level are wanting it. |
