| Oct. 15, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Observation Pricer: I never voted or wanted the Senior Bats; I do not recall it being put before the players; that being said; I will revert back to the metal bat or dbl wall, but I feel the majority has tasted "honey" & will not return to "Sweet N Low". I believe the FHC organization was using the Senior Bats & that filtered over; someone can correct me if I am wrong!! GI: Speaking of the Japanese; I believe during their recent crisis many searchers found huge amounts of assets & they did the unthinkable; they returned it to the rightful owners. Seems to be a class act. I wish I had the op to go play in those GWill Games. Webbie25: Your remarks about or from opposing team mates; that seems to be the case w/a lot of great teams that have been together for a while, they attract similar guys; they want to beat the other team, but never want to see anyone hurt. Pricer: to finish my input; I would love to go to the UTrip bat; our team attended the NSA Worlds in Cullman & we used a 44/400 ball w/UTrip bats & I did not see "ONE" person that was complaining (that was in the 55 bracket). Any team could have won it; NEITHER did I suspect ANY player of swinging an altered bat. Tater50 You Cannot Fool the man in the Mirror CR Needed: slow, fat, but NOT lazy, just born a St. Bernard. |
| Oct. 14, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: Bats Discussion: reebok vis a vis ultra....a year later udaplayer: I have an ASA stamped 30 oz U2 that has lasted since 07; I swing fairly hard, but have never used it in weather below 60. Have not tried the Reebok yet, since several guys on our team have broken theirs. Tater50 |

| Oct. 14, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Anyone else swing utrip bats? Bruce: I have a Miken 585 that I've had for 3+ years; I swing it continually in BP; I need to check the distance, but I believe it is comparable to the U2. Will check & give a feedback; but it is a tank. I had a 510 that I had since 07', bought 2 NIW off of Ebay & I broke one @ BP (about 55 degrees) trying to give a good representation to the Columbus 55 team that picked me up. Should have used my 585. Anyone that has a 30 oz Miken 585 FS (stock) LMK. Tater50 |
| Oct. 11, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: ON MY HONOR 3 saddlebrookrick: It is amazing that guys will play w/someone who is a known cheater; I WOULD WALK OUT OF A NATIONAL TOURNEY IF A KNOWN CHEATER DOES NOT PUT HIS BAT UP!!!! It makes you wonder "if birds of a feather are not flocking together"??? I do not have a lot of things, but I will keep my honor. Way to go GaCMan............. Tater50 You cannot fool the man in the mirror!!!!!! |
| Oct. 5, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Faults of SPA Don Ward: "unless there rosters show they are a Major or above". Don: I only saw B.P in L/F & L.M. in RCF that did not play Major this year & they, like myself, played Major in the past. I feel that everyone in the Park, including the TD could look at the roster or the people in person & see that the 60 & 65 teams were 99% Major. I, like Jim the Hitman feels cheated. I like others worked extra days just to be able to get off of work to attend that tourney. Big Change is needed & a Yearly Player Poll should be conducted to keep SPA & other assoc in the loop of what the players feel. Tater50 |
| Oct. 3, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: REVISITING THE EQUALIZER RULE Monty: GaCman is a great guy to play with; you will fit in well w/their team; hope you stay; see you in BHam. Tater50 |
| Oct. 3, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Faults of SPA Perly/GaCman: I agree with your statements & also see Don's view with what is on the present books. I feel that since City Pharmacy 60 team had almost 99% players that had played major this year & the 65 Major team that were 99% major players they should have had a 3 of 5 series. The 5 runs we gave to the 65 M Hitman cost us the game. They did beat us bad in the finals; B.G./Wazoo GREAT team!!! Although you stomped us, still like ya!! JMO: I think a yearly player poll is needed; I know that I cannot take off to go to the SPA or another Assoc. meetings in the off season. Tater50. PS Not throwing stones at anyone; just like the others, this has got to be changed. BTW: I have asked this before; HOW MANY PLAYERS SHOW UP FOR THE SENIOR SUMMIT?? Sorry for the yelling, but I got no answer last time. |
| Oct. 3, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Yearly Player Poll I think I started a thread like this a few weeks back. I know there is a Senior Summit every year; but most players cannot attend. I probably would not attend if it were in Atl just 60 miles up the road; not that I am not interested, but I have no extra time & the extra hours that I surplus up on my job, I use for SSball tourneys. Do you think we should have yearly player poll? Yes or No; elaborate if you like. Tater50 |
| Oct. 3, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: REVISITING THE EQUALIZER RULE I will add to this: we NEED a yearly Player Poll to determine rules. My team alone spent thousands of dollars, took off days from work to attend this tourney. My above statement would have sufficed for the 55/60AAA & the 60 & 65M (since their were only 1 60M & 1 65M team). Tater50 |
| Oct. 3, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: REVISITING THE EQUALIZER RULE BruceinGa: "We agree that we will be playing major since half of us played major this year." Columbus LX played you guys & we all had a great game & a great time; you have a great team & some of the guys started w/me on my team years ago; but I only saw 2 players that did not play Major this year. All the IF played w/Wild Bunch, Kittrells or Southern Elite. Only 2 in the OF played AAA & they were X Major Players. I also saw a couple of players on the bench; A.H. & M.B. that also played Major this year. You can correct me if I am wrong; but I said all that to say this: I think that you get better by playing better teams. My reasoning is that your 60 Major team & the 65 Major team should have been allowed to play a couple of pool games & then the 2 of you have the best 3 of 5 series to determine the Champs; the other 60 & 55 AAA teams should have been able to compete on their on level. LX AAA Played the 65 team & lost 14-13 in the winners bracket; take away the 5 free runs & we win easily. IMO. Do not think this is the proper process. Tater50 |

| Aug. 30, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Velocite MSVE-1 For Sale For Sale: 30 oz balanced Miken, MSVE-1. All associations bat. 8 or 10. NO cracks or Spiderwebs. Owned it about 5 years. It is stock. $250 shipped to US Mainland Tater50 If interested, will send pics. |
| Aug. 30, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Home Runs for Outs HRs for outs: was this presented to ALL the players to vote on; I never voted for it & many other rules. Am I the only one in favor of a yearly Player Poll to determine SS rules? A PP would determine what present rules should stay in place & what other rules should be amended or removed. JMO Tater50 |
| Aug. 24, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Whats the rule? Injury: we had this happen in BHam; extra innings, runner on 2B; tags on ball to advance to 3B; fell down & hurt himself. Stayed @ 2b; was allowed a CR. Player was a fast runner & would not have had a fake fall to get a CR. PS I guess this is permissible; I had no problem w/it. Tater50 |

| Aug. 24, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: BP/practice Great Thread: BP: I always work on my biggest problem; watching the ball make contact w/the bat. That has always been my crutch. Amazing 1/2" of contact on a ball can make a big difference. Too low below center; big pop up. Too high, weak grounder!! Well: from now on, I have got to be more positive; I WILL WATCH THE BALL MAKE CONTACT W/THE BAT!! Feel better already. Tater50 |

| Aug. 18, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 thebull:"I agree with the stiff penalties against the Player for using an Altered Bat but I don’t agree with penalizing the Coach unless it can be proved he had prior knowledge." Here is my recommendation to coaches. I have coached before & put in big Letters across the roster sign in sheet that WE DO NOT USE ALTERED BATS!!! If a coach does this & informs ALL players as they sign about this notation; I am no lawyer, but I do not think a coach could be suspended under these circumstances!! The player is acknowledging by his signature on the document w/multiple witnesses that he does not use ALTERED BATS!!! Einstein: you are highly intelligent, your verbiage indicates this; but if I were in your shoes & had rolled a bat & openly displayed that on a National Board & SSUSA had openly told me I was wrong; I'd apologize & state that a new day has begun. Like the other poster stated: Someone will be gunning for you. Something to think about!! Tater50 Tater50 CR Needed(working hard on this part!!!) You cannot deceive the "Man in the Mirror" (when you win a trophy or All Tourney w/a shaved bat & you look in the mirror, how does the "real" man feel?) You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Abraham Lincoln PS> Would like to thank SSUSA for stepping in & giving us some input on this matter!! |
| Aug. 17, 2011 Tater50 | Topic: Bats Discussion: On My Honor 2 Mad Dog:"garyh,the manager needs to know his players.i would say he needs to maybe do a check of his players bats". A coach has enough on his plate; he does not know who swings what!!! I've coached & I did not know every man's bat. I play on the closest knit team that I have ever played on & NO ONE would be suspect for using a cheater bat; but our coach does not know everything that goes on. Does he know if my Driver's License is valid; if I live where I claim; whether my bat is legal or not; come on guys!! About the only way you have any clue is if guys start talking to you about doctoring a bat. The coach is giving up his time & a lot of the time he does not even play; these are the real true heroes our SSB. BTW: why after 4000+ hits have only a handful of guys taken the pledge? I will never cheat!!! I don't give a hoot what the young or old guys are doing I will be an honest man. Anybody that has played w/me, you have to admit that I talk all the time trying to keep the team up & ALSO, YOU HAVE "NEVER" HEARD ME TALKING ABOUT GETTING MY BAT SHAVED/ALTERED!!! Those of you that have taken the pledge: why aren't others signing up? What's your opinion? A. They cheat & don't want to quit. B. They do not want to stand up to their team mates that cheat; would rather be "friends" than tell them; you are wrong!! Also: If we spent as much time talking to the cheaters (emails or one on one) to convince them to change as some do bashing each other, we could probably turn the tide. Again: A CHEATER IS A CHEATER IS A CHEATER & anyone thinking that SSB Bats will change a CHEATER is living under a ROCK!! Tater50 CR Needed(working hard on this part!!!) You cannot deceive the "Man in the Mirror" (when you win a trophy or All Tourney w/a shaved bat & you look in the mirror, how does the "real" man feel?) You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Abraham Lincoln |
