July 7, 2011 Garocket	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Stepping out of the batters box Guys the current batter box should be 3 ft wide starting 6 inches from the plate It should be 7 ft in length from the middle of the plate, should extend 3 ft behind the plate, and extend 4 ft in front of the plate. That means if you are on the line with your foot that is almost 5 ft in front of the plate. If you are futher that, in front of the plate you are taking advantage of the rule. If that is not taking advantage then why should the pitcher have to stand at a certain distance. Let him pitch from 60 ft or even 70 ft. The ball still would have to go 6-12 and land on the plate or mat The batters box is plenty big enough if you know how to hit and what pitch to hit.
April 17, 2011 Garocket	Topic: Bats Discussion: How many shaved bats in SS Simple Because the roster you sign says that you agree to play by the rules set forth in the above association. If the rules says that if you hit a pitcher with a ball that your bat can be taken. Once you sign that roster you have agreed to let the association have the bat for testing. Failure to do so will be a lifetime ban for said association Do you guys never read the fine print on the rosters If not that I need to sell you a car with the best warrty that can be bought cuase the fine print will say after 24 hours this warranty is null and void LOL

Dec. 20, 2010 Garocket	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Then There Were 14! Let me see if I can address this without sounding like a chicken head' Teams build themselves to be as good as they can afford to be, they pay players to come play with them so they can win almost all of there games They win at AAA and get moved to Major so they go out and get 2-3 more players that are top notch and win most of the Major Tournaments, Then they get to Major Plus and break up or say SSUSA needs to bump more teams into Major Plus Guys if they bump more teams into Major plus, a lot of these teams cannot afford to pay 2-3 players to come make them strong enough to compete So they split up and the Major Plus teams still do not have enough to play. If you drop the Major Plus teams down to Major and they beat the tar out of the Major teams then the Major teams split and make more AAA teams Then the Majors would not have enough teams A very vicious cycle. The person that has the answer to this riddle will be the 1st millionaire. I truely think if the bat and ball combo was not so advanced you could have 3 divisions and balance them pretty close
Dec. 13, 2010 Garocket	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: February Tournament of Champions Polk County Don't stay in Kissemmee, if you play in Lakeland you will be well over an hour from the fields The nicest place to stay is in Lakeland at the Hyatt Place beside the lakeland Center Only about 10 minutes from the fields in Lakeland and no more than 25 minutes away from the remainder of he Fields I would say a little pricee but well worth the extra cash 5 minutes from a huge shopping center and about 2 minutes from Polk Parkway hit it and be in Winterhaven or Auburdale in 15 Minutes

Nov. 15, 2010 Garocket	Topic: Website comments Discussion: WORDS FROM OUR LEADER I AM JUST THE MESSENGER 57 and played more ball and seen more ball then most anybody in the US. Not intimidated by ignorant people. I have to deal with them all the time. And not positive but pretty sure you would not even be interested in meeting so you can beat me up I learned at an early age that those azz whippings can go both ways. As you noticed my name the Ga Rocket yes I am from Ga a red neck from the word go. I learned at an early age that there is no such thing as fair fighting. I am a peaceful man with grand children and the whole 10 yards You should come and work with me in the logging business Monday thru Friday for a few months Then you might be man enough to COME GET SOME

You are making yourself look like a sure enough IDIOT. Speak for yourself and not others on the web site You are a nobody and lets keep it that way I think Gary C has you pegged pretty close and I agree with most he says I just think he is a smarter individual then YOU
Nov. 10, 2010 Garocket	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Top Major Plus 55 - 60 Team in 2011 Yea I checked on the convention. with the room rates at $79 per night it looks like the year to go. Airfare a little high from the east but looking at going anyway. I heard from some guys last year that Nashville was pretty fun to go to. At least if I don't go I can't say much about the rules. But we do need some representation so the upper crust will hear what we want
July 27, 2010 Garocket	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Time Limits Not excatly sure what you are trying to sat Einstein. Its not prception if it is fact. All I am saying is that players say a ball that hit the mat did not reach 6 foot is arguing the wrong message, Einstien I am sure you can find at least 2 friends to pull that rope at 6 foot, then you can see first hand, that reality sometimes makes sense
July 27, 2010 Garocket	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Time Limits It is odd that not one person said they tried the rope while trying to keep it under the rope. Kudos to Omar for saying he would try it. Guys I am a UIC and I do this at all my clinics and I can tell you it cannot happen unless you have a very excessive speed pitch. In regular young boy ball that 6 foot 1 pitch that lands behind the plate may not have been above the knee in the strike zone but it has to get 6 ft to get to the plate. But in Senior softball the knee or should has nothing to do with the strike zone only the 6-12 and it hits the plate or mat Guys all I ask is stop the arguments and go try it I promise you will come back with a different opinion
July 26, 2010 Garocket	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Time Limits Rember it does not have to go over the rope , it only has to touch it. Because the rule states it must reach 6 foot not go over six foot, so if the ball as much as touches the rope it has reached its minimum
July 26, 2010 Garocket	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Time Limits I will challenge any pitcher to stand on the mound and throw a pitch that does not get six foot high to drop on or behind the plate. Unles the pitch has a bunch of excess speed on it it will drop in front of the plate Get two of your team mates to stand about half way to home plate with a rope pulled at six feet and see how many stikes you can throw and keep it under six foot I can tell you how many 0 Please do not respond until you try it You will change your mind
June 17, 2010 Garocket	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Senior Softball is a Joke Gale if you think Senior Softball made 16000 on your womens's tournament then you are the joke How about the time and money it takes to travel into cities and get this tournament set up Then you have motel expenses for Tournament Directors and Umpires ball expense. Field rentals and more hidden cost then you will ever know On the women's tournamenmt they might have made 2000, but no where near 16000 But thats not a lot, when Senior Softball has an office to keep up and how many hours does Terry, Fran , and Dave have involved in this tournament You lady, have no CLUE

Dec. 19, 2009 Garocket	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What it takes to win the world I have played in a few and been around many National and World Tournaments The key most of the time is for you to win the bad game you will have on your way to the championship Almost all teams will have that one game that they score less than half of there average runs. That is the game you have to find a way to win. Either by a great defensive game or just that one lucky hit at the right time
