| March 5, 2021 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: LVSSA Just to be clear, I do not know if it makes $en$e for the $plit, but more importantly I don't care. Organizations can merge and split as they deem necessary. It is the board members of the respective groups that determine direction. I just don't care to see the why(s) in a public forum, if the forum cannot affect change. We players can only participate or not in the result, we cannot cause or stop the process. |
| March 5, 2021 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: LVSSA I have no dawg in this fight and have played in multiple LVSSA and SSUSA events over the past 20+ years. Divorce is never pleasant, “who gets the stuff, who gets the kids, who gets the friends.” My take on the situation is more is better. If LVSSA thinks it can improve its position for the organization and its members, go for it. The more organizations and events “might” bring down the cost of the product (tourneys) overall or it may not. Options are options and I have friends associated with both organizations, same with SPA and ISSA. Either way airing issues publicly is not beneficial to anyone. If one organization has a legal complaint, we have systems in place to litigate same. If one organization is a better marketer (?) or negotiator then that will be demonstrated in more attractive dates and attendance. If the product is not up to par due to experience or lack there of, that will be demonstrated by comments and or resulting attendance. Please everyone take a breath and let the free market work. Stay safe and “Play Ball”. |

| March 3, 2021 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: COVID 19 PROTOCOLS What is the big deal here. We were playing ball when other others were and LOCKED DOWN. I have no problem following protocols whether I agree with them or not. Not the point, small sacrifice for an opportunity. As in other situations, if you don't like it, just don't play. |
| Feb. 7, 2021 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Commit line abuse Webbie if you weren't playing short left field at 3rd base and did not want to move. it would not be an issue. Catcher comes out, pitcher covers home, walk the runner into an out. Besides you are retired, maybe you ought to chime in on the gamestop message board. |

| Sept. 26, 2020 softball4b | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: brackets PITCHER3 You would think at 72, you would look before you leap. Question asked and answered multiple times. Must be all that smoke in Eureka. |
| Sept. 24, 2020 softball4b | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA/SSUSA I just spent 7 days in St George playing softball. I have nothing, but compliments for the people of St George, SSUSA and the park staff. I admit I played at Canyons both sessions so the best of the best. Covid is real and we as a group are adjusting. The staff work diligently to try and keep us safe from ourselves. Spending time with friends some old, some real old and new is a wonderful thing. Of h and by the way there was some really good softball. Kudos to the umpiring crew, I can't remember all of their names, because I fall in the real old category, but Mike, Marcus, and Eddie hustled their butts off to get the best possible look at a play. Yes Marcus I did google you.:-) Again Kudos to all Players and those who make it possible to play. We needed this as a group for our mental well being if nothing else. Prayers to all.

| Aug. 13, 2020 softball4b | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Major playing AAA At least I am half right, never the case with my wife. She does think I am half funny/smart, I think that is why she calls me a half-wit. |
| Aug. 13, 2020 softball4b | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Major playing AAA That depends on the players rating. If he carries the M+ rating then no. Just saying, not that I ever disagree with DD. |

Restaurants are open, but be aware, Prescott and PV are very serious about speed limits, hands free cell phone use, and using your seat belts. |

| July 14, 2020 softball4b | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Passing a preceding runner Some people like to continue to argue even when given a definitive answer. Not me, Not Doug. When given the answer the other individual, he said, must be a Prescott rule because that is not the rule. Geez what part of live ball does some people not understand. Prescott is 20 - 25 degrees cooler than Phoenix. Yeah us. |
| July 14, 2020 softball4b | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Passing a preceding runner Help me out. When a batter runner passes a preceding runner for the 3rd out. What portion of the rule book references this: Live ball, runner from 3rd scores or not. Timing play. ????? |
