June 17, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Cal Cup & Western Nationals MTC 50 major plus is looking at the Western National... It really depends on if Nazarino, the Legends or Arizona elites are in it..... Ebo, GSC and us can play each other every other weekend if we want...for $280-300 and not mis work on Friday.
May 17, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Rock - n Reno Mario, out west there are just a few teams... 1. GSC that's rumored to be adding some guys from the folded Demolition team 2. East By oldies 3. Northwest legends 4. Nazarino Then the two bumped without winning any worlds teams...Arizona Elite and our MTC team. We skip Reno most of the time, and now that we are Plus very likely will start playing only the World in ssusa. Arizona elites are not going either. So there is your five teams.....enjoy Reno....the ball FLYS. In Vegas worlds this fall I am sure all six western half of the country teams will participate....
May 10, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Rock - n Reno A few of our MTC50 guys are playing with the MTC 55 team but our 50s + team Is not going. Also....Mario, the warriors are a major team, so don't count on them in your tourney. GSC and the East Bay Oldies from NorCal will be there in the 50+. The other teams I think might be there would be nazarino from SoCal , Arizona heat and Northwest. Maybe those three teams can let you know.....
May 1, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team So how many returning players did the Fangrabbers get to keep while dropping down a Division? Looks like ten guys left....who remained? I just want to find out because maybe our third place major team would wants to get down to AAA. Especially if we could keep seven or eight players.
May 1, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Our third place at Worlds team wanting Fangrabber treatment....how do we get it done? I am kinda new to senior ball...don't know much about their need workings so.... Can you guys enlighten me? Can SSUSA staff give our team some numbers? Here are the facts..... Our MTC 50 team came in third at Vegas Worlds last year. Fangrabbers team came in third at Vegas Worlds last year. So far exactly the same results.... Now....the interesting part. Our MTC 50 team got bumped a Division. The Fangrabbers get reclassed down...suposedly because they lost a few players.... Now....our MTC 50 team wants to be treated EXACTLY like the third place at Worlds So....will Terry or someone else in SSUSA let us know how many Third place Fangrabbers are returning to their team since they were allowed to reclassed DOWN. Our MTC 50 team wants to be treated EXACTLY like the Fangrabbers....we want to be rclassed one Division below he level we just came in third in... It's rumored that the grabbers have 9 returning players???? I ASSUME that mean as long as we just return 9 players from last season that we can go down to AAA. Am I missing something here? Maybe some of you other board readers can help us out?
April 23, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team Ssusa staff can answer the bracket issue but.....cannot answer how a team that comes in third at Plus Worlds gets reclassed down to major??? I'd really like to know how this can happen after the team that came in third at Major worlds (us) gets bumped to Plus? Expect crickets on this one.lol
April 23, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Seeding Games Ssusa staff....if your going to address current issues that need to be addressed..... How about scrolling down a whole one thread and answering how a team that came in third at the 55 plus world gets reclassed down to major? Maybe while your at it you can let us know how a team (ours) that came in third at 50 major worlds gets bumped? Kinda sems strange...one team wins huge tourneys and gets reclassed down after coming in third and another team that has never won anything gets moved up after coming in third... My guess is.....ssusa will not answer these two questions because they know it makes no sense at all.
April 16, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Championships, Vegas Jeff, I am sorry to read your area isn't fortunate enough to have the options we have here. ASA in Medford is their western world...talk is they might incorporate it into there east west finals at Oklahoma in the future. On the NCSSA hall of fame event. You can google "NCSSA 2012"...we have added an open division this year....anyone can show up.....it's a Saturday and Sunday only tourney....5 games....you could fly into sac. San Jose, Oakland or sf......all of them are within an hour of the park. They are even trying to see how the fly in teams want their brackets set....ie late Saturday or early sunday. With NCSSA program support we have three major plus 50s, MTC 55 major plus and nazarinno showed up last year.....we also have a very solid major team Barron's/warriors. Contact the director...I think entry fee is $325?
April 16, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Championships, Vegas Jeff, I cannot speak for EBO, or GSC but our MTC 50 team doesn't plan on going because we are a mostly local, limited funds team. Heck 9 of us are on the same league team. We will try at least one ssusa major plus this season Since we were bumped....maybe we can compete?????? but....if its not enjoyable we will probably just skip Worlds in the 50s in the future.. At least that would be my vote. We scheduled the ASA World in Medford and probably the SSUSA in Vegas as our two travel events. We are skipping Reno and the calcup also.... Probably (depending on number of teams) western nationals in our own back yard/Sacramento area. Are you guys comming to NorCal/Reno? We might play that one if 7 of the western plus teams are attending We have many options here in NorCal....NCSSA has many good tourneys, with their hall of fame event as the number one event in norcal...they are even creating an open division where out of area teams can come to play. We here the legends, nazareino and demolition are considering it...5 game RR...out of area teams start Saturday afternoon. NSA is running one day 50s now...and word is their 50 Worlds is going to be in Sacramento. We also have many 40 events we can play in (they give us an 11th player) So......there really isnt any need to travel all over the place for senior softball. I can only guess that Arizona isn't set up in senior ball like NorCal is??? Maybe you guys could look into how NCSSA was created and how it's benefited all the senior players here.
April 11, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How Weather Affects Softball Travel Distances: It scared me for a minute..... I say an Einstein posting....
April 8, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Bats Discussion: Tuff Shield I am not a bat sales guy but I have been helping in testing then H&B senior bat. In testing it has a been comparable to the senior bats we all use at this time....but....the one they let me take home had over 800 swings on it when I gave it back. Over 600 of those swings were in 50 degree weather hitting stadium (rock hard) softballs. Over 95% of the exit speeds were over 95 mph...with some topping out at 110 MPH. I also tested the GSC bat in a round of BP....it was very good and I am told there is a GSC bat being used in a Modesto senior league that also has over 500 swings on it. I guess what I am saying is....don't know if its going to be tomorrow or a year from know but.....senior bats with durability are on the horizon.
April 6, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Bats Discussion: Louisville Sluggers senior bat Better beat j3po to the punch......Struck......
April 6, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Bats Discussion: Louisville Sluggers senior bat Ah....my iPhone spell check stuck again......bpf
April 5, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Bats Discussion: Louisville Sluggers senior bat I have tested the H&B senior prototype bats....I am not evolved with the market date. I have been told it passed the BFF testing.
March 22, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What is 400 feet.... I am sure a guy so smart to know the pathagorean theory should have no problem enlightening those of us "more challenged".... What the mathematical difference in struck ball distance would be from C level to Reno?
March 21, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What is 400 feet.... Man I hate admitting this....I thing Swing is right on the money.
March 21, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tired of breaking bats I have been evolved with testing the new senior Louisville Slugger bat. It is testing out as an equal or better then every miken, combat, Demarini senior bat I have used....and.....the bat lasted thousands of swings in 50 degree weather tiring stadium rock hard balls. The senior bat lack of durability work could be soon changing. I also tried Steve's GSC bat last weekend....it was very good
March 20, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Catcher's verbal interference Meant to say...and this is NOt saying I am great....it's saying your not... This is kinda fun.....
March 20, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Catcher's verbal interference Swing, that's pretty funny comIng from a guy (you) that was pulled from first base in the middle of an inning because he was so bad. In the outfield....I'll outplay you all around as a four man outfielder/player. In a three man your speed will outplay me. As a pitcher you could not hang with me. As an infielder you wouldn't hang with me. As a singles hitter you wouldn't hang with me. As a power hitter you wouldn't hang with me.... Since your team never plays a three man...I guess this means I'd start over you on your team. Bat in front of you and be an infielder before you.... And this is. It saying I am great...it's saying....your not... I think....your the one more built for golf...lol
March 20, 2013 Tim Millette	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Catcher's verbal interference Gotta admit I was catching last weekend and a player I have known for over 20 years came to the plate as he stepped in the box he told his bench...if its short....yell short for me. As our pitcher started his wind up and pitched ...I said... short...... short.... short....short...short....he popes the first pitch up and went back to the dugout. Don't know if he was angry or not.....most of us thought it was funny... It didn't matter whether he got a hit or not....it was just messing around on the softball field... Sometimes I think many of you guys would be better off playing golf.....Silence please..I gotta concentrate on hitting this ball coming at me at the alarming speed of 15MPH.
