| March 28, 2017 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Trump Stote Softball Concerns Dave, you know what's hilarious? Or sad? That you used two different balls in the TOC and Mesquite and they both performed poorly in warm weather. We haven't even gotten to hot weather yet. I made a mistake thinking the same ball was used in the TOC and Mesquite. My bad. At least if the same ball had been used in both places, it just would be one ball the under performs, not two. Once again, the players have spoken about the poor quality of balls used by SSUSA. |
| March 28, 2017 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Trump Stote Softball Concerns NYGNYY, it's funny you noticed that. I was playing in the TOC in Florida, February, 2017. We were playing 60 Major. When it was cool, (60's and below) the ball was fine. We played a 4 o'clock game and the temp was mid to upper 70s. Not one ball got near the fence. It was a completely different ball. We then played at 7. temps back in the low 60's. ball was great once again. They do not do well in the heat. It was not even hot, just in mid to upper 70s. Just as you described. Could be a long summer. |

| Jan. 30, 2017 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOC Team eligability It's funny you should ask. I was reading the list of teams going and comparing it to what they had won. I didn't see them winning anything. I thought maybe they just changed their name? |

| Sept. 29, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Fields at Shadow Rock Dave, you are really going to try and defend Shadow Rock based on someone playing on an ever worse field than Shadow Rock? Which is hard to believe. Those two fields in front are awful. Not level, rocks everywhere, ruts, clumps of grass and weeds in the outfield. Tons of bare spots. The dugouts didn't even have a cover on them. I played there last year in the finals of 55 AAA. 105 degrees everyday and no cover. It doesn't sound like it got any better. The back two fields, great. |
| June 2, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: would like an explanation seems like this is some thing you should take up with ISSA not SSUSA. Let me guess, you are playing 55 AAA? |
| May 11, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WEATHER FOR LOUDON TRNY Paco, I know you have something called the "internet" in VA Beach. You can check local sterling weather from were you are:) fox5dc, nbc4, wunderground.com...... |
| May 2, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: No more five innings games Played in a SPA tourney this weekend and due to weather, they were trying decrease playing time for games. They also wanted to get all the games in. They started using a 2 and 1 count. It made it a hitters game. You could walk in two pitches or you could strike out in two pitches. Normally with a 0-0 count, you as a batter could be more selective and as a pitcher you could throw more junk. Get a 1-1 count, pitcher could throw junk. Not with a 2-1 count. Get that first strike in, you need to be close on the second. Only takes two balls to walk. As a batter you would look for the first good pitch. There were a good number of K's due to people fouling out. 95% of all the games were played. It was just a quick as a five inning game and you got in all seven innings. Not a sermon, just a thought. |
| April 6, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: MARK YOUR CALENDERS: NORTHEAST CHAMPIONSHIPS this is a nice tourney. it's always a little cooler up north, which is good thing. I've stayed at the comfort in twice and had problems both times. The nicest thing I can say about it is it's close to the fields...look somewhere else first. |
| Feb. 27, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Are possible changes ahead for future TOC tournaments Wild card teams can get in with losing record. If you allow (even second place teams) that to happen,it is no longer the TOC, it's just a tournament. |
| Feb. 24, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Weather Forecast Spring training 2-26 Vero Beach um, to bad all the local stations don't have their own website with up to date weather. Oh, they do. My bad. just Google FOX, NBC, ABC or CBS Vero Beach. |
| Feb. 23, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Weather Forecast Spring training 2-26 Vero Beach um, really? weather.com? |
| Feb. 23, 2016 wagon487 | Topic: Bats Discussion: bat rolling I always put a sticker on my bat. I had them custom made for about a buck a piece. I also put a scratch or mark somewhere on the knob. Never had a mix up with a bat. |
