Jan. 15, 2013 bucs15	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISSA OR SSUSA TOC Paco13 you need to join one team and stay with them instead of freelancing every tournament.I have played against you numerous times and you are a excellent ball player in either 50 or 55.IMO you do not belong playing AAA at all.Maybe I'm wrong but we have been told you can only play these tours with the roster that got you there.Maybe rep from issa or ssusa could verify.Anyway good luck this year and I'm sure I'll play against you somewhere.Dan (Who's on First)
Jan. 12, 2012 bucs15	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rotator Cuff Advice I fell off a roof 6/27/11 and crushed my right shoulder among other injuries.Throwing shoulder was so bad bone needed to be removed as well as some muscle,all ligaments and tendons were so severely tore-mashed surgeon did the best they could to fix.I was told I would never raise my arm above my head let alone throw a ball.Well worst thing to tell a diehard baller is he can't.Went to Winter Worlds with new team(Metro All Stars)in November and managed to get in 5 ABS.I started throwing last month and feel I'll be playing the field come WTOC in Tampa.Just remember work hard and pain don't hurt!

April 28, 2011 bucs15	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Is it fair............ #6 I say be honest let the coach know.Here is another thought.We travel to 6-10 Tournaments a year that start on Fridays some as early as Thursdays,WHY? With the economy people can't afford to miss this many days from work for basically bracket ball-seeding.Most of these Tournaments only have 6-25 teams at best and your telling me you can't get these games in 2 days.Remember back in the days when there were 40-80 teams in every Tournament and they found ways to get them in.Hell I never in 35 years remember playing Thur only Fridays and these were Nationals.
April 18, 2011 bucs15	Topic: Bats Discussion: My Miken Did Not Break Posters With a name like crusher you gotta be kidding.You have only seen one Miken broke, either your kidding,you have only played one game in your life or your just lying.Hell I see at least a 1/2 dozen every tournament we go to.Now get of this board with your nonsense.
Feb. 28, 2011 bucs15	Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Doctor Needed Wagon487 ditto here,let me quote a old move. "Some people you just cannot reach".Sound familiar.Name that flick.
Feb. 27, 2011 bucs15	Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Doctor Needed I have posted a couple times on the durability of the Miken11.This is my 3rd season in senior ball and to date have broken 5 ultras, one on the very first swing of the tour.I always use my yellow MM for batting practice and it is breaking in great.As soon as my last Miken breaks I'm switching to the yellow MM combat.Scrappy is correct if you want durability and return policy plan on spending 300$.

Jan. 24, 2011 bucs15	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others? Ditto southpaw I don't believe in individual awards my opinion is it takes the whole team even the coaches to win or even compete.Say your Strong up the middle and weak on the corners well good hitters will find the weakness's and stay away from the strengths.As for 3 outfielders we play this occasionally when teams continue to hit middle,we try to mix things up and change there swings,sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.Anyway just my opinion,See you all @ the TOC and good luck to all.
Dec. 15, 2010 bucs15	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: softball player or not I to would play no matter what bats or balls the sanction dictates.Here is the problem I Have been playing slow pitch for 35 years mainly c-d some b and in the last 5-8 years no matter how they try to solve the bat issues some AHOLE finds ways to cheat and alter bats regardless of composite or aluminum.That is why I say use any bat on the market or let Tour Director supply the bats, This way we will all be equeal with the same sticks.I was once told a couple years ago from a major player that if you ain't cheat-in you ain't winning,well I'd rather be considered a loser then a cheater,I love this game and will do anything to uphold the integrity of the sport.
Dec. 4, 2010 bucs15	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: February Tournament of Champions Polk County We High St 50AAA will be their, looking forward to seeing and playing against the best in the country.Happy holidays to all.Dan Barnes
Sept. 14, 2010 bucs15	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: ASA WORLD IN BURLINGTON Paco13 right on,played in 6 games over that weekend saw 2 home runs hit against us both with the voltage and yes entire team swung that bat.Shaved or just hot we as a team can't compete using the standard ASA bats we were swinging.I believe Dus-Tex won they also were the only other team I saw hitting bombs.We as a team made the decision not to play anymore ASA.Been playing this sport 33 years and in the last 5 years can't believe the amount of guys at all levels that will alter their bats just to win a Plaque.Good luck to all teams the rest of the year, now we get back to bats were we are all equel
Sept. 13, 2010 bucs15	Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken Durability 3 ultra 11 red max end load 27 oz all broke with less then 50 swings.The last broke in Salem right out of wrapper on first swing.I called Miken and spoke to Lisa who claims you have to swing easy for the first 50 or so Ab's.Been playing competitive softball for 30+ years and never heard that you need to swing easy.Lisa you are clueless if that is your best advice,just come out and say they are garbage.Switched to yellow combat no problems after 200+ Ab's
