July 4, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken U2 Performance Thanks Alan: I have too many Miken and just thought somebody may want to swap for a very nice older one. It has Miken pop and more durable than the newer ones. Thank You: james
July 3, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken U2 Performance I have 4 ballanced U2's that are all great bats. two of them are at least a year old with the 1.21. I also have a 28oz 1.20 that is a few years old that is very hot but it has at least 200 swings on it. The forth bat has no markings on it and was produced right after the ASA tagged U2. It is a 28oz also and in very good shape. It is also a hot bat but I rarely use it anymore and would trade it for a ballanced Reebok senior Melee in 28oz. I can be reached at jgroh@jcichem.com if anybody is interested. Thank You: James
May 17, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Is this yelling out OK. HJ: I would have to say that is about as chicken shit as it gets on the part of the baserunner. He might just get drilled in the back by a thrown ball next time he is on base. Thank You: James
April 11, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Need your input Last year at the Western Nationals Joe spent a good 30 minutes talking to my boy and I about bats and hitting. My boy is just starting to play slowpitch and Joe did a better job than I could have explaining hitting. His time was much appreciated. Thanks: James
April 10, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Need your input Gary19: In our league the 40+ teams do use senior bats and if anybody does not like it they can go play somewhere else. It is that simple. James
March 30, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Weight Hi HJ: I am 185lbs and like a heavy 29-30oz balanced bat because it is easier for me to maintain timing. With these bats you don't need to be 225lbs to hit the ball 310'. Good luck. James
March 26, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 60 player Hey Mad Dog: Are the rains you folks are finally getting helping out much with the draught? Good luck finding a new team. James
March 25, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: When is the last time you saw a pitcher have to leave a game from getting hit or get seriously hurt? In our league we use senior bats and even the 40+ teams can use them and I can't remember the last time a pitcher was hit. For the most part guys stay out of the middle. The most common injury is either a 3rd or 1st baseman taking one off the shin. This happened to me last spring and I had a blood clot for 6 months. I just missed the ball. Did not blame the bats or balls just part of playing the position. Thanks: James
March 19, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Should you be able to go for hits between the second baseman and shortstop Should have been 270'-275' fences. James
March 19, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Should you be able to go for hits between the second baseman and shortstop Mad Dog: I am not against taking away composit bats completely. In fact going back to 270-175' fences and metal bats would make it harder to hit for many guys because you could squeeze the field and take away the cheep shots. As a sponsor/player if the bat rule is changed in 2013 who is going to return the investment of us buying a bunch of bats? Any organization who would treat their customers this way should not be supported. I would like to here Surf88 or Gorilla Boy chime in of this because they should be know first hand if this is fact. The issue here is are the players who put up most of the $ going to get stuck with bats they cant even use. Thank You: James
March 19, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Should you be able to go for hits between the second baseman and shortstop Hi Mad Dog: I doubt SSUSA would make a change to bat specs without grandfathering "IN" the bats already made. If any association did that without ample warning is would be a classless act. Also anybody selling bats knowing this was coming without giving their customers this information before they purchased the bat would lose a boat load of customer respect. Thanks: James
March 15, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Reebok Melee rightrj1: I am just giving this bat a try in the spring league play. I still like the black U2 as my choice in tourneys. The 29 and 30oz usually last 30+ games. When you hit one on the screws with the U2 there is no bat the has the same feel. Good luck in Mesquite folks. Thanks: James
March 15, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Reebok Melee A couple of my senior softball budding had great luck with the Reebok so I bought one off Surf88 and so far so good. We play up in the cool damp northwest and both these guys got well over 400 swings on their bats and many of them were with BP balls. One of the guys hit 100+ HR's last year so I would say he hits it pretty good. He had a ballanced and the other guy uses an end load like the one I am trying out. The bat has great pop but we will see how long it lasts. Thanks: James
March 2, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New HR rules Thanks for the responses: I think the TD's and SSUSA will be watching this one close but they also should note that just because a team hits a few out does not make them a good team. From just watching some of the M+ games I can see where this may be a problem for them with shortened games but for most of us it should be a lot like it was a few years back. Local hit it write we should give it a good shot and see how it works out. Thank You: James
Feb. 29, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New HR rules Hi Folks: Some of you have played a tournament or two using the new HR rule and I am wondering if it has made much differance in the outcome of the game? Thanks: James
Feb. 21, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Steve in Lacy Washington Hi Steve: Sorry I missed your call this weekend. I would have called you back but you did not leave a number. I thought I had it at my office but I did not. I decided to give this Reebok a shot. This is the second one I have purched so it would be a waste not to at least give the bat a chance. Thank you for the offer on the Ultra but I will pass for now. Thank You: James
Feb. 17, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: congrats to the drillers for winning the 55AAA Hi Bookem dano M1: This is James the cather for the Sigello/Jones team who played you in the National championship game last year. I thought you guys got moved up to Major this year? You spanked us last year but we want a rematch. Thank You: James
Feb. 15, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: Bats Discussion: Oooops there goes another U2....... Hi Webbie: I am with you on the U2. Something about it just fits. I believe you can get nearly the same performance out of some of the other senior bats but they do not have the same feel when you hit it on the screws. To be honest I have never really gave any of the other bats much of a chance but I do have a new Reebok. This year I will start out with at least 3 new bats and one U2 with about 125 game swings on it. Good Luck: James
Feb. 8, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: ODB Hi Fastsam: I am glad to hear your squad will be together again this year. I hope you can make it up to Washington State to play at least once this year. We have a great facility (The RAC) that I am sure you guys would like. Bring your rooting section also. Thanks: James
Feb. 7, 2012 JamesLG	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Social Security benefits Kbl: I am with you on this one. My Dad worked his tail off until he was 62, retired, got sick and gone at 63. You only go around once so better do what you can when you can still do it. James
