| Aug. 14, 2014 cal50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: West Coast Aftershock - I am curious, did they throw the ball to the umpire first or to the pitcher? We have been instructed by SSUSA officials to throw every ball to the umpire to check out and then let them throw it in. |
| Aug. 13, 2014 cal50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: West Coast Aftershock - swing, I tend to agree with you. I would have to believe that they did not know they were cheating, it would be very obvious to everyone that the ball is cold when they threw it in. |
| July 18, 2014 cal50 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Runner Hit by Batted Ball Ball would be fair, but question is the runner safe or out if in foul territory. I would guess runner would be out. |
| July 15, 2014 cal50 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Runner Hit by Batted Ball Staff, this must be a specific SSUSA rule, it would not apply as you describe anywhere else I can find. I could be mistaken and would be curious of Stick's input on USSSA rules. |
| July 15, 2014 cal50 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Runner Hit by Batted Ball Then the next question would be does it have to pass the entire base? Your interpretation seems wrong to me. |
| July 15, 2014 cal50 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Runner Hit by Batted Ball In baseball if it touches the base, not touches the ground, it is fair. A (batted) baseball is fair if: it stops in fair territory before it reaches first or third base (A), or it hits a base (B), or bouncing or rolling, it passes first or third base on or above fair territory (C), or it passes first or third base in the air and makes its first bounce in fair territory (D), or the baseball is hit so far that it leaves the playing field between the foul poles or hits one of them (both of which types of events are very good for the batter) (E) or the defense touches it while it is moving on or above fair territory. |

| June 3, 2014 cal50 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Missouri Open Will the draft schedules be posted soon for the Missouri Open? |
| May 28, 2014 cal50 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Missouri Open Need to eliminate 1 division, only have AA, AAA and Major. The current major players would migrate to AAA or major and make more teams in both divisions (as Major plus players would now be Major). AAA & Major go to 1 up on HR rule. |

| Jan. 15, 2014 cal50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Is Pitching Mask mandatory In 2004 ranking was by money paid to play among other things. Woody is Justin Atwood. The examples I gave were all young players at the top of their game pitchers. Accidents happen, it is a small price to pay to avoid serious injury. |
| Jan. 15, 2014 cal50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Is Pitching Mask mandatory Woody in 2004 was ranked #2 pitcher in the nation. He was offered 24,000 to sit for the team that had the #1 ranked pitcher. They didn't want to bat against him. There were 3 super major teams that year including B & J Kluever Snap On who Woody pitches for. Woody has said many times that if a pitcher wanted to go after you, you would not have time to get out of the way. Every pitch, he is back several steps and ready to field. I hardly think as Skeptical put it that he lacks in defensive ability. Take a look at this picture a friend of mine playing C ball in Phoenix, I think in 2001. Link at http://www.clubteams.org/hit.htm I played a couple of NSA tournaments with a player who pitched conference this past year, Dan Bean. He showed me the bruise on the side of his face and shoulder where a ball hit his mask. That happened to be the first time he wore a mask, he said he would never pitch without one again. I think the mask rule is a good idea. Saying that someone's lacks confidence in his ability is one of the silliest comments I have heard on here. |
| Dec. 20, 2013 cal50 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1 up rule Staff, Was there a discussion at the rules committee to change from DBO to a 1 up rule on home runs limits? Did anyone bring up about having 11 fielders at all times? Most teams, if not all teams bring plenty of players. These 2 may be the best of both worlds, giving some protection to the pitcher and allowing for more home runs when both teams hit them. |
| Nov. 9, 2013 cal50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rules question. Happened at Huntsman Thanks for the answer Stick. Really sorry to hear about your short stop. |
| Nov. 8, 2013 cal50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rules question. Happened at Huntsman I would be curious how the rule is to be interpreted "past the infielder"? Does it mean it has to be further in the field than the fielder is standing? Or that it is past them, they have no chance to make the play? |
| Oct. 26, 2013 cal50 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Suspensions This was not a SSUSA tournament, but we played in a tournament a couple of months ago, the sun was so bad in the morning, I bet there were over 15 strike outs swinging. All the director had to do was move the game back 1/2 hour or so. If the sun had been facing the other way, defenders in the wrong spot with the sun, would have no chance to defend themselves. I agree jrd231, use common sense. |
| Oct. 18, 2013 cal50 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Suspensions Sparky, I couldn't disagree with you more. Have you even read some of the responses Dave Dowell has made about the thought process that goes into setting up the national tournament? I have had disagreements with Dave in the past, but I think for you to say that there is no regard to the players, fans and sponsors is simply wrong and far from the truth. I also think you are completely wrong about the mentioned incidence with the 40's being a reflection on the entire senior softball format. I play in 7 or 8 senior tournaments a year and rarely if ever see poor sportsmanship. Sure there are room for improvements, but overall Senior Softball does a very good job. |
