Dec. 21, 2009 Ceres	Topic: Product review Discussion: protection 4Four4, You sound like someone who would like to see a pitcher get his face rearrranged.A pitcher ought to be able to wear the protection he needs without criticism.
Dec. 19, 2009 Ceres	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Cut-off The cut-off play is very important, but I hardly see it done correctly. Usuallly the SS or 2B runs to the outfield to relay the throw. They don't line up the throw for the outfielder and you never hear "cut it" or "let it go" from anyone. If this is the case they are RELAY men not CUT OFF men.
Oct. 28, 2009 Ceres	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: They Can't Do That? Indy 60s maybe if you send this whole column to SPA and to SSUSA (because it might affect your rating with them) noting that many players over a two week period took an interest in your plight and sided with you. All these players feel disappointed because of the ruling and because your team can't even get a hearing with SPA.
Oct. 23, 2009 Ceres	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: They Can't Do That? DRob, You have some strong points and you should continue your effort to correct this with the SPA President eventhough you've been unsuccessful so far.
Oct. 22, 2009 Ceres	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: They Can't Do That? Why do all you players take the side of the team which had been reclassified. Did you see any of the games they played or know their capability? It could have been that they really were much too good for 60AA and the SPA President made the correct ruling by making them play 60AAA eventhough they came in under the radar. Howeven neither I nor any of you have the information to judge. Association Presidents should protect the competion of their associations' championships. These are not your ordinary tournaments.
Oct. 20, 2009 Ceres	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: They Can't Do That? A similar ruling was made by Ridge Hooks at the SPA Nationals in 2004 when they were played in Plano Texas. I played for Kelley's a AA team. We finished second to Team Naples, but both times we faced them it was no contest. In fact, every game they played, it was no contest. A few days after the tournament, Ridge declared our team co-champs. He does something when he feels a team is sneaking into lower divisions so they can win. Next season we were a mediocre AAA team and Naples was a major team.
Oct. 17, 2009 Ceres	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Safety First Pitchers should wear protective equipment such as a mask, cup, and shin guards. It should be up to the pitcher, and if the pitcher gets hurt because the pitcher is not wearing this equipment, then it's the pitcher's fault. Soon pitchers will all wear protection. I base this statement on the evolution of batting helmet use in MLB. Before 1955 hardly anyone wore a batting helmet, then some players started wearing pots. Then all wore pots. Because of several serious injuries Conigliaro, Cey etc) all batters now have to use helmets with ear flaps.
Sept. 3, 2009 Ceres	Topic: Bats Discussion: Lighter Bats vs Heavier Bats II On 9/2 under Lighter Bats Vs Heavier Bats, softball4 gave the equation...Force = mass x speed to prove his point. His equation is wrong. Force = mass x velocity squared divided by R where R is approximately the bat's length. Velocity of the bat dominates the equation. The faster you can swing it the force increases a bunch.
