| Nov. 30, 2015 kstod | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: New Toruney Schedule Again I understand the convention but the biggest issue for out of State Teams is travel accommodations , time away from work and lots of Team preparation. The Jan-Feb and march schedules should be out NO LATER than December 1. That would at least save players mucho dollars on purchasing the 30 day early ticket. Our board should make that a top priority every year. |
| Nov. 29, 2015 kstod | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: New Toruney Schedule Would really be nice for the board to get these out by December 1. Don't understand why at least January Feburary and march should not already be posted for teams to make travel plans for potential airfare. I know that it's holiday time but no disrespect to anyone but the effort should be to post this stuff immediately. Thanks. |
| Oct. 20, 2015 kstod | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Why is this rule not enforced?? I was referencing in humor the hitter sir and how Tugboat was referring to the impact of pitching in slow pitch softball. There is no impact of pitching in slow pitch softball other than USSSA with 3-6 and lots of dancing allowed. 6-12 foot arc that has to hit a mat. Have a great day sir. Again I dont disagree with the rule if it its absolutely so visible to everyone. But to place a point of emphasis to all your umpires to "WATCH THOSE LINES" is just taking it a bit too far for my taste and alot of others including many umpires.. |
| Oct. 20, 2015 kstod | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Why is this rule not enforced?? Did someone actually state that this effects the impact of pitching? Lets see the last I checked they were still throwing it underhand and you didnt need a helmet and mouthpiece to play this game. I believe it still has an arc somewhere between 6-12 foot in height. If the pitcher really wants to get crazy he can throw the 3 seam churchleague back spin or create that 7 mph knuckle hoping its into the teeth of the wind so that it has some movement. DC Pete well stated. First and foremost for an ump to make that a point of empahasis does he really know if his foot was planted or was it in the air when the ball was struck. Again the most obvious if I guy takes 6 steps out ( and we as players know what Im saying). Otherwise play ball. Call balls and strikes and keep your game running smoothly. I challenge all upmpires across the country to stay as far away from this controversy as possible. It was great in Vegas where I saw the umpire call both teams over and any thought of calling a guy beyond the line was waived decided by both teams. Great rule.. As for Mr. Dowell, sir your explanation of trying to justify the distance between the pitcher and your theory of primary flight paths is nuts. Its slow pitch softball and 90% of the people who swing the bats know exactly where they want and location of where that ball will go. So my thought would be to stick with riding horses. People who have played for 35 years dont want to be involved with these types of calls while playing... |
| Oct. 19, 2015 kstod | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Why is this rule not enforced?? Really. Slow pitch softball and we got players concerned about the batters box. Better yet we got directors who's point of emphasis will be to make sure his crews make that call. Makes sense. No umpire who has any sense of the game will ever make that call nor wants to be part of the discussion. Unless is so obvious most good umpires and great directors will shy away from this conflict. Thank you for allowing us to always avoid any future play at Lorenzi Park. |

| Feb. 9, 2015 kstod | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Best Hitters in Senior Softball I have been to some of the best senior tournaments in the past 2 years. Vegas, Dalton, Ohio and Florida and have witnessed some great hitters. Just interested in who others consider to be some of the best hitters at that level. I love the game and appreciate watching these older gentlemen . |
