Feb. 13, 2013 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Here's my question on RATINGS Neck a player is allowed to drop one level.So if you were rated 55M+ you could only play 55 major or 60M+.Even if he sat out for three years he could only drop one rating level lower. 55+ has an 8 rating index. 55 M and 60M+ both have a 7 rating. You could actually drop to 55m or 60M+(without sitting out).
Feb. 3, 2013 titanhd	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Adding a player or players Paul that would be a question for the SSUSA office.There may be a special circumstance ruling that could be made. Again that is an SSUSA issue to rule .I don't see how you get around the fact that the players are rated Major Plus.That won't change.
Feb. 3, 2013 titanhd	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Adding a player or players Can drop one rating index per season.Weather or not they have played 50 plus their old team rating follow them (the player) for two years. 50 major plus has a ratings index of 9. 55AAA rating index of 6 In this scenario they could only drop to play 50 major 55 maj plus-both which have ratings index of 8.
Jan. 26, 2013 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Glove Off Season Care I agree E4/E6Mink oil is the ticket.I buy the paste not the liquid though.Wipe on as you would paste car wax and rub off excess.Cleans,Conditions and waterproofs.I never put anything liquid on my gloves.That includes glove oil.Makes them heavy
Jan. 25, 2013 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best Pitcher I agree with Crump.Reedus is one of the best hitters in the Country -fields the middle-can pitch at any level.Can't go wrong with Reedus.
Jan. 23, 2013 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: loosing toenails Never had foot problems until I wore BOOMBAHS.Absolutely The worst softball shoe for foot health. The first thing to do when you buy a new pair of softball(Especially BOOMBAH) shoes is to rip out the insole and replace it with Shock Doctor or another orthopedic insole. I'm sure there are others but I found SHOCK DOCTOR to be the best. Also If you'll be using the same shoe that you used last season-replace the insole because there is absolutely nothing in that shoe that is supporting your feet.

Jan. 10, 2013 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Age groups Olden slow the answer is no. A player may not play on teams with more than one Rating/Index value unit spread. A 65AA player has a rating index of 3. 60 AAA has a rating index of 5. The combination of 65AA and 60AA would be a permissible roster combination since 60 AA has a rating index of 4
Jan. 8, 2013 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: CURE ALL FOR 2013 I agree TG. Everyone wants an advantage!
Jan. 3, 2013 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Out after 3 Home Runs Everyone wants an equalizer. 5 runs per inning so that the games don't get out of hand. Homerun limits so that your team does hit more than my team. What does it matter if a AAA team hits 15 balls out of the park if only three of them count. If my team hits X -number of homeruns (not homeruns but, balls over the fence)we should "move up"? The equalizer is the HR limit-out after the limit.We've gained nothing by hitting HR above the limit.15 homeruns with a 3 hr limit. Sounds likes 12 outs to me. Not sure what the advantage is to your team for our(sic) team to move up. 1-1 count "so that the hitter doesn't sit on his pitch" lol! Every equalizer every change that you can imagine.Yet we still want to use the hottest bats on the planet. Stop looking for equalizers and Work on your game. The Bigger the Challenge the Bigger the Chance!
Jan. 1, 2013 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Who is going to the TOC Neck which team are you taking-your regular team or the team that went to ASA?
Dec. 31, 2012 titanhd	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: More 1-1 Count Talk I Play 50 Major and prefer 4-3 count. 1-1 count does nothing to make the game better.I'll spend the same amount of time at the plate with the count 1-1 or 4-3.
Dec. 31, 2012 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Carl's Corner Story Carl's Corner: The Unsung Courtesy Runner Carl Gustafson CA Regional Tri-Director (San Diego) The 102-degree heat at a three-day tournament in Texas certainly takes a lot out of softball players. And when you’re out there trying to come through the loser’s bracket in that heat, factor in the humidity. When you consider many seniors have clogged arteries and parts that don’t work, this scenario isn’t what the doctor ordered. I played outfield in that tournament which means I could still run fast. It also meant that during our nine games, I went to my outfield post and then back, a combined 100 times or nearly 5 miles. In addition, I was chosen to be a courtesy runner. The rule was implemented to help those unfortunate players who, due to injury, disease, surgery, or some chronic debilitation, could still swing a bat, but could no longer run without extreme difficulty or pain. But it soon expanded to become a strategic ploy in every game where fast runners replace pretty much anyone slower than they are. This strategy also means that the fastest runners will be used as often as possible. Translated: I ran either for myself or somebody else virtually every inning of every game. I lost 11 pounds in three days and ached for a week. My batting average and power were reduced game by game as I tired. When some of those for whom I was running returned to their shade in the dugout to brag about their liner that tore the shortstop’s glove off, and then complained about me dragging a little grounder through the hole, I committed myself to be courteous to the courtesy runner should the role ever be reversed. Later I had Plantar Fasciitis for a whole year, and as I watched my courtesy runners pounding their arches into the turf for me, I realized what an idiot I had been for a decade
Dec. 11, 2012 titanhd	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: AAA Home Run Outs Homeruns distance ,limits and the number of homeruns seems to be what everyones uses as the criteria for where a team should be rated. What if divisions were eliminiated throw all the teams together by age group and have 4 and 1 up homeruns for every age group . Then what becomes the criteria?
Dec. 2, 2012 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Which choice would Plus Champions take if Bumped like every other Division? I agree Stick. Plus Rosters or the disbaning of should never be touched by "rule". If that were the rule then logically we could make the same theory for all divisions not just PLUS. There are alot of teams that can compete with or as Plus but,what we here "we don't have the budget to play Plus".It's not the Plus Division that causes that.It's the lack of Plus teams.If AAA had the same amount of teams Natioanally as the Plus Division you would hear the same statement from them. That being said.To have a balanced quantity of teams for all divisions either we combine divisions or mandate move-ups but, never should team rosters be broken up to in Theory prevent a "Dynasty". Malo. We played Elite in Vegas earlier this season.Best all around Major team that I have played against.
Dec. 2, 2012 titanhd	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Grading the Rule Changes Well said Wes. Don't forget the 4 or 5 practice pitches between innings too
Nov. 7, 2012 titanhd	Topic: Bats Discussion: cheater bats Simply because a bat doesn't pass the compression test doesn't mean that a bat is shaved. It only means that the bat didn't pass the compression test.Any well broken in bat will not pass any (ANY) compression test. No used Senior bat will pass either.That being said just because a bat fails the test doesn't mean you've found a "Cheater". I still say that we're dealing with the "wrong end of the snake".It's the ball that we should all be oncerned with. There is no need to eliminate this or that bat and then use the hottest ball that you can find for the bats that we've determined passed a compression test.
Nov. 4, 2012 titanhd	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior softball summit Fabe and others. Again you guys allow yourselves to take one persons opinion or statement and "make a mountain out of molehill".
Oct. 23, 2012 titanhd	Topic: Bats Discussion: Senior bat care and durability Alan, how do you tell that a bat has been rolled ?I totally understand how you would tell a shaved bat but, what indicated to you that the bat was rolled?
