| Feb. 25, 2009 RochBob | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: DBO/PPR rule - still protecting nobody We have a Rec league and have not implimented the pitcher rule because of all the controversy. We umpire our own games . Good Luck getting somebody to call the rule and interpet the call. I can imagine the calls being made in tournaments. There are rules that have been on the books for ever, that never get called right. |
| July 22, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A team's rating! Duke & Ken you have the right thoughts. A player rep for every age bracket. One that knows and is willing to talk with teams he does not know . One that will consioder and listen to the facts. Then put it to a committe to decide from the players aspect It is humiliating to be rated Majors as a 70's team and get beaten by AAA teams and then the majors team beats you in 2 games 32 to 7 not much fun for a new team or players. These are facts not conclusions |
| July 22, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A team's rating! 2007 Senior Softball Summit Advisory Board that is the group email and the ones poste on this conversation |
| July 22, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A team's rating! I have created a group email list that contains all of these players email on the advisory board . Probably it is the first time " all" of them have gotten and email from a player. I have recently sent them one. There was not much satisfaction in sending the email. I could have sent it to you. My guess is they do not have any clout that is needed. There is nothing that tells what they do. This is the type of group that should take complaints Time stamp them communicate with you . Then get a consensus approach on problems. I am confident that this is probably not happening. It is easier to take your money and not do anything. greengiantadams@aol.com |

| July 21, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A team's rating! For those of you that are happy with the current system, you have a great rest of the year. I think a player's committee might be in order here from all ages and levels of play, and forget this Hennessey sight unseen decision making based on not watching a team play, nor trusting his staff that run his tournaments. Fran and Dave, it has always been a pleasure dealing with you both. If you ever have your own organization, we will be first in line with many others. Thank you! I totally agree. We pay the bills but we get dictated to we have no say We are a new 70's team and got rated Majors, we have not had a chance to gain that title. We were beaten by coffee cup a team Terry hennessy knows well by 32 to 7 in 2 games When coffee cup went from 65 majors they were rated AAA and yes manged to beat up on everybody, This team should be rated majors plus. A new organized 70's team getting rated Majors. Is somebody not thinking. It is difficult to find enough players to play at 70 without some person that has never seen us play rating us majors WE DEFINITELY NEED A PLAYERS GROUP greengiantadams@aol.com |
| July 18, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Playing a lower division team in Champaign Michigan Vet Good luck on your complaint. We players have no voice in what happens. Consistency what is that. We as a new 70's team were rated Majors. New teams should play until they deserve that rating. You are absolutely right but get somebody to listen to you. SSUSA -SPA SSWS Have 3 different plate sizes 3 different roster formats They can't seem to agree or talk with players on anything . It is dictated to us. Players need a group voice. I brought up pitching box concerns. I would have got more satisfaction talking to a tree. Now I am trying to appeal my rating. At best we are a decent AAA team that has gotten beaten bad by AAA teams. Either we are a bad majors team or there are some awful good AAA teams or just maybe- maybe the higher ups rating us made a mistake. Not many or anybody one can turn to in these situations. |
| July 13, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: team ratings We were beaten again by AAA teams and one majors team The majors team scored 32 runs to our 7 coffee cup minnesota do you suppose they should be rated majors plus or maybe they possibly made a mistake in ourn rating? Libert ywe won 1 game and lost 4 with 3 AAA teams omaha we won 2 and lost 4 taol all AAA teams We definitely sound like a majors team. People and teams that watched us play could not believe we were rated majors. yet coffee cup a 65's majors and won many tournaments became 70's in tact as a team and were rated AAA probably the radar was not working when they rated them They should be majors plus with non doubt It is no science but with no voice we have to do what the straw boss's tell us |

| July 5, 2008 RochBob | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Ratings; to move up or down or stay where your at, a comfort zone as it were. The orginiations dictate what is happening players have no voice For example SSUSA SSWS SPA They all have different size home plates different rosters to acomplish the same things. In our teams case a new 70's team we were rated Majors right out of the box We were 2 wins 4 losses at our first tournament against AAA teams You could conclude there were some underrated AAA teams or we could have mistakenly been rated Majors. Believe me the only person you could talk to is the person in the sky or a stick. 70's teams getting rated Majors come on !!! A Minneapolis team moved from the 65's where they were rated majors to the 70's bracket This team has won some Maor tournaments They were given a Tripe AAA rating. There couldn't have been some favoritism or possibly somebody made a mistake New teams should always have to prove they are Majors |
| July 5, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: R-eclassifications for 2008 You have no say in what they do even though you are the customer and pay the bills. Players should have a board with equal power |
| July 2, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: team ratings Three diffeent orginizations SSUSA SSWS SPA 3 different plate dimensions. 3 different rosters that do the same thing some have impossibe requirements 2 snowbird cards have to be used for any player that plays in SPA or SSUSA SSWS accepts either card How do you expect them to be able to rate teams with the same intent. It is purelu one sided. Theirs. |
| July 2, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: team ratings Does any of this ever make any sense. One does not get very far talking to the powers from above. I had mentioned we need a players group to represent our needs and review some of the thngs that can not be changed except from the powers from above. |
| June 20, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Major Plus div, an idea. For each age bracket, a fresh start...? Do no call it a union Call it a players rep group nominal fee per team to join $2 or $5 There are times we need some clout. send me an email greengiantadams@aol.com |
| June 20, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Major Plus div, an idea. For each age bracket, a fresh start...? Here is a way out idea A players union To give us voice in what happens. Who pays the bills? Starting a new 70's team has been a nightmare RochBOB |
| April 28, 2008 RochBob | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Ratings Last year a team out of Mpls known very well by Terry Hennessy was rated AAA when they joined the 70's division That same team at 65 was rated majors, team members remained about 100% the same. What is good for the Goose should be good for the Gander but somehow they manage to make these exceptions for certain teams. Forming a 70's team is not an easy task. I f I had to think about it again I probably would not do it. I do not liove in an area where there are lots of 70's players. It is basically taking a player that will travel and be loyal to the team. The point is it should be the same for all. Not based on what they think or who they know or don't lnow. This is a new team with some experienced players and some new players. |
