Dec. 18, 2009 4Four4	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Cut-off Defensively, there are OFs with rocket arms and OFs with less. Mikens/etc. make us play deep so hitting cutoffs going home is usually preferred but direct to 2nd and 3rd are usually required in AAA and Major. Throwing out runners is still fun. Offensively, if you're not sure about the arms in their outfield, there's only one way to find out. Just don't wait for the most critical runner of the game to do it. Beating a tag is still fun, too.

Nov. 3, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: major nj team looking for players for ft.meyers SNO195 if you are NJHitmen55, we played some fun games AAA in CapeMay. I play OF & live in NY. Many of my buds are going down to play 60's but I'm 57. LF/3B/RCF and would want to be released back to my team after this tourney. I'm sure Homer will be there, too.

Aug. 28, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Starting New Team MARYLAND Ha! And I thought we had all the "FIENDS" on our team. Good luck with your new team - hope you have as much fun as we do. DH #4 The Tub
Aug. 7, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: National Senior Games Anybody playing in the NSGs this/next week? See you there. DH #4 The Tub
July 30, 2009 4Four4	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: pitcher protection rule new definition Curty- your pitcher Harvey is the antidote to the PPR rule. He should run a clinic. The way he plays "D" he wants you to hit towards him and he'll get you out if you do. He pitches from deep behind the rubber. He mixes his pitches. He let's the middle infielders play more towards their holes and he covers 2nd & 1st. We had a great time playing with you guys - fun venue. Your Baystate Bombers are all class acts and very good players. DH #4 The Tub
July 20, 2009 4Four4	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Bay State Shootout Round Robin Brackets Excellent! Thanks TM - now where's that baaah again? (Irish Swing Oil needed...) Ahh - the tourney is held at the sports baaah. Good Luck to Aaaallll. DH #4 The Tub
July 13, 2009 4Four4	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Bay State Shootout Update Bathtub Billy's 55AAA will be there, too. (We're kinda thirsty, where's the bahh?) DH #4 The Tub
July 13, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Teams in Rochester ny Rochester needs a good women's senior team. We've got several good men's travelling teams. Rochester has 2 softball seasons. The summer sessions organize in April and play May through August, and the fall sessions play September into early November. The senior (50 & over) Mecca is at the Irondequoit Winton & Empire facilities (turf) but I don't believe there are any women's senior teams. There are many co-ed leagues at the Cobbs Hill & Sportspark complexes. You usually need to reserve a position in your league of choice with payment and rosters in advance. (Get a good sponsor to cover the league fees and some numbered uniforms.) Hope you find a place to play. DH #4 The Tub
June 16, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Black home plate mat moves Some great pitchers are able to take advantage of the slightest (1") askew slant to the unattached mats. They instruct their catchers NOT to straighten them out unless the ump notices. Raining a deep one in on the hands can be very effective. (These guys are good.) DH - #4 The Tub
June 3, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: outfielder looking to be on travel team slgr7 try the SteelDawgs - they're a good team/good guys and might be able to use you. DH #4 The Tub
May 15, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: team smtty - Roch NY senior leagues are held at MacAvoy Park (Empire Blvd.)in Irondequoit. There are at least 6 travel/tourney teams across all senior age groups. Things are just starting up so you should be able to catch on with a team quickly. See you there.
May 14, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Bats Discussion: Senior Miken end loaded... CAT - U2MAX - Pop=10+, Durability= hot until it breaks - mine has 200 shots - still HOT! (28oz but I always use an end loaded bat, qakhntr is probably right to have you drop down 1oz for the 1/2 oz end load.)
April 23, 2009 4Four4	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Deleteing The PPR Rule A major improvement in pitcher safety would be to change the ball (slightly). Surface hardness, density, and compression are all critical to coming up with a ball that is not a 100 mph brick. There are alot of smarter guys in here that know how to do this. They know that the big boppers can hit a week old grapefuit 300 feet. They know that we've all spent a gazillion dollars on our own personal equipment. Let's not wreck this game with additional equipment and policies that aren't needed. Change the ball. (Slightly.) #4 - DH The Tub
April 20, 2009 4Four4	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: lets move up good defenses jr - they DO move teams up for "D". We're up and we don't hit it over the outfielders - we just win - once in a while. Good Luck in VA - our money's on you guys. #4 - DH The Tub
April 6, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: looking for a team in Rochester, NY area The AAA Rochester Classics (Retros)are a great bunch of guys, most of whom play in the Monday & Tuesday senior leagues at MacAvoy Park in Irondequoit. They are a seriously talented travel team. Don't know if they need anybody but Don Trimaldi or Dan Guilfoyle would be a good place to start. DH #4 The Tub
March 11, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: WHY THE PPR MUST GO PPR or not - ARMOUR UP! Cmon guys, cut out the macho BS and wear some protection. Nobody wants to hit a pitcher but it happens. Nobody wants to make an out. Most guys situation hit and go with the pitch. Most guys try to hit the ball as hard as possible. MVP (Leo) - you listening?? The team will buy this stuff for you!!! Armour up. "You may scream - there is no shame." (Russian Col. to Rambo before really hurting him...) DH #4 The Tub
March 9, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Bats Discussion: U2 Maxload Hit my ML 40 times and its ready. Have to save it for the tourneys now. DH #4 The Tub
March 9, 2009 4Four4	Topic: Bats Discussion: U2 Maxload Is it also SPA approved? DH #4 The Tub
March 5, 2009 4Four4	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: MATS - One and One Count The mat standardizes the ball/strike call leaving the ump to only have to call the corners and the arc. It's alot less subjective and minimizes player frustration. Good hitters can always adjust to hit a legal strike - and - nobody likes a walk - not hitters/pitchers/umps/fans. The 1-1 count is just another strategy adjustment to make with the benefit of being able to get in more action in a shorter time. It can be used as a way to negate the runs-per-inning rules that many teams dislike (more runs - reasonable timing) but it's probably best suited to league play vs. tourneys. Games do seem to move better with it and a hustle in/ hustle out no BS between innings mentality. DH #4 The Tub
