Yes he does and he's the reason I'm on the team. The hands were a mess but he sucked it up and played well in spite of the pain.
I guess it's actually Yolo County in July that I'm referring too and we will be seeing you in Phoenix. That's always a great tournament.

Hey Joe.
We did have two good ones. You guys hit the ball real well and we played one of our best games to beat you. What position were you playing?
As for Ricky, he is a good hitter, but I may have enjoyed watching you knock him down a couple of times.
I would like to come to a couple of California events as I live in Vegas and it's an easy drive but not sure the Oregon guys are up for it. Who runs them? If they are not SSUSA maybe I can pick up with someone.
I know we are playing in Lacy WA., Sacramento and Phoenix.
Great tournament, maybe next time it will be warmer.

Discussion: Aluminum

It would make no difference to ball players who have played the game for the love of it all along. If we lost the guys that only play because hot bats allow them to hit the ball over the fence I think the game would improve as they are playing for the wrong reason in the first place

Discussion: Reno on the horizon

Having grown up in Carson City I can tell you wind is the norm.
Joe you had me going with the Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert BS. I was thinking Lesak really loaded up this time, and how old are those guys?
Really looking forward to Reno.
Should be a blast.

Looks like 50 Major may be in Mesquite. Too bad, the St. George fields are nice.
Who's coming?

Discussion: TOC

Had the opportunity to attend my first TOC this year as a fill in with Four Seasons. Yes it was cold and yes it is held at an odd time of year, but over all I had a great time. Facilities were OK and the competition was good.
I wished I could have played a little better and I could have helped my team win a few more games but I didn't.
The great thing was I met a good group of guys and had a fun week-end.
With a little luck, I'll be back next year and win the damn thing.
Many thanks to Rick and all the guys from Four Seasons. Hope to see you on the field again real soon.

Discussion: For All the Fat/Slow/Lazy Catchers & EH's

I have to admit,when I sangg the line about the position thread, I felt a little guilty, but by the time I sang,
"A CR TAKES MY PLAAAAAAACCCCCCEEEE!!!!" I was glad my thread resulted in a possible #1 smash hit.
Now if I can only figure out how to get it on my IPOD.

Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others?

Tater,
Well said. You hit the nail on the head.
Unfortunately my team has some of the problems you describe. This surprises me because for some reason I thought by 50 we would be past that. I was sadly mistaken. I think it's only gotten worse. To many guys can think only of themselves, but that's another thread all together.

My thought on what a catcher needs for defensive skill set? While he may not have to field grounders like the rest of the infielders and run like an outfielder, it is a big plus if he can dig them out with the best of them. Any out at home is a big one.

Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others?

I have to update my statement on what positions are most important.
My most important position would be coach. If you do not have one smart enough or with the balls enough to put players in the correct position, the team will never win.

Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others?

In the end we all know it takes 10 guys playing together to win, but I wanted to know if you had this imaginary player who was the GREATEST player in the world at all 10 positions, where would you play him? For me P, SS, LC, RC, 2b, LF, RF, 3b, 1b, C.
Great discussion by all.
Thanks for the input.

Discussion: Miken U2-More Durable???

I thought Miken had already done this when the created the Ultra II Legacy. Takes awhile to break in but seem to have plenty of pop and a 1 year replacement warranty.
Has it been discontinued?

Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others?

Wanted to know how guys feel about defensive positions. Are there some you feel are more important to a teams success than others are they all equal?
Say you have a player who is the best defensive player you have at all positions, where would you play him?
