| July 24, 2008 breeze53 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Public thank you for thoughts and help I received this week OK, OK, OK, Joe you are alright, feeling great and still going to complete in the sprints in the Huntsmans games. I have asked before and enquiring minds want to know, What are you going to wear for your competition. The tank top and the tight shorts, like those of our younger days. Or something more conservative like shorts with those long johns underneath. Either way, this is one event I am not going to miss. Bob |

| March 7, 2008 breeze53 | Topic: Bats Discussion: new red senior Combat update, I traded my red combat for a grey. So my experiment is over. I like the grey better. Or I just do not trust the red anymore. Goodluck |
| Feb. 29, 2008 breeze53 | Topic: Bats Discussion: new red senior Combat Bought a red combat in late December. It took 175 swings to come around, which was about the same as the grey combat. Then around 200 to 250 the bat cracked. I called the rep and he said that the red is suppose to last longer because of the shorter barrel. He also stated that he has a red with 2000 swings. I have also heard thru the grapevine that other people have had their red combats breaking before 200 swings. But anyway I have bought another red and have 100 swings so far. It at this time does not compare to my grey. But time will tell. Bob |

| Oct. 9, 2007 breeze53 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA - how Not to run a tournament What is up Stoney. I realize that you have to defend LVSSA, since you were or are part of the organization. But I do not how the comments on our roster has anything to do with how the tournament was ran. I do not get involved with the politics with our team, but I know that our roster is legal. As for the 7-11s near by. We had to scramble to come up with a candy bar etc for a player on another team that was having a sugar attach. I also a diabetic did leave the fields close to game time to go to the 7-11. As for the 1-1 count, we laughed when they started it on sunday, because with the extra foul with 2 strikes there would not be a difference in the length of the games. You tell the N J connection thanks and goodluck. Bob |
| Oct. 8, 2007 breeze53 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA - how Not to run a tournament I have to agree that is was the worst ran tournament I played in 30 years. There was numerous problems. It was as if they had never ran a tournament before. 1. They did not use sanction umpires until Sunday. There were numerous arguements over calls and strike zones. 2. The games fell way behind. I do not know why. The games were not that high scoring. Our team played only 2 games that went to the seventh inning, one was the last game saturday night, The other because the game was tied at the end of the 6th. There were alot of players that had tickets for shows that they had to miss. Our team arrived at 830 am and did not finish playing till 1115 pm. All for 3 games 3. Playing on a field with the lights poles inside the playing field. They had the winners bracket championship on that field, with the losers bracket on the good fields. 4. The concession stand was close by 2 or 3 pm each day. With the seniors there are a few with diabetics playing and need to keep eating something to control their sugars. While we enjoyed playing Endzone, Sportsman and the Indiana Classics etc. and even though it is Las Vegas, I know that all will think long and hard before deciding to return again. Bob CJ S 50 AAA |
| Aug. 20, 2007 breeze53 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1 and 1 count-interesting comment Wow, I am taken back by the comparison of MLB to senior softball. To me they are 2 different games. 1. Larger ball 2. Our pitch speeds are 15 to 20 mph, not 90. 3. We are seniors, not young studs. 4. We use a mat for ball and strikes 5. We allow numerous pitch runners per inning or games. 6. We have time limits. 7. We use hot composite bats. 8. We allow no sliding at home plate, so we have a line to cross. And a alternate base at first, to prevent injuries. It is a different game. To me it is frustating to travel to different tournaments, spending hundreds of dollars and only get to play 5 or 6 innings per game. { except championship games}. Playing in Florida Half Century with the 1 and 1 count and completing most of the games, then moving to Phoenix where we rarely play a complete games was a shock to me. To me 1-1 is more fun and takes nothing away from our game. |
| June 6, 2007 breeze53 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: save it for the confessional DCPete, you are correct that unlimited arc would make it safer for the pitchers. Because nobody will be playing. |

| Sept. 16, 2006 breeze53 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Doctored Bat in Seattle? if you take the u2s from senior ball, there will be a huge revolt. i know that the using alter bats is a big problem. but if everyone is concern about safety,mainly the pitcher, why not use a pitching net for the pitcher. if the ball hits the net the batter is out. it does not solve the problem with the bats but the pitchers will be happy. |
