| Oct. 30, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: SportsmanShop "The number of teams playing in Bismark would be about the same number as those that would travel to Cinncinati for the worlds." Yes it would be, and that number would be significantly smaller than the number in Vegas. Need help figuring out why? "As Gary 19 sits on his dumb ass questioning everyones integrity" Yea, like I am the only one here who questioned that. And again, you don't want to play the intellect card with me. "Totally possible for a few select seniors who can hit the upper 4s" BTW, he did not say "upper 4s", but 4.56. BIG difference! |

| Oct. 29, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 70' bases at Las Vegas Yes it is. My point was playing the Super Bowl on a CFL field after playing the entire season on a regulation field would be as silly as using 70' bases for the worlds after playing all year on 65'. No one would go for it, but seniors fell for it in softball. |
| Oct. 29, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 70' bases at Las Vegas So would banning bats no one else is allowed to use. There is a reason for that. |
| Oct. 27, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 70' bases at Las Vegas Mark, your "wit" get dumber by the day. Change can be okay, but NOT for a "world" tourney when the entire rest of the season has been played under a different rule. Let's play the Super Bowl on a CFL field. |
| Oct. 25, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: SSUSA ID CARD question I suppose the difference is I can do a lot more damage on a plane than I can with my one vote, but point well taken. |
| Oct. 25, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion Omar, no question 70s should not be treated like or have the same rules as 50s, which is another thing that has puzzled me about Senior Softball. |
| Oct. 25, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion "We're friggin over 50+, we don't move as fast" Good point, though I then don't understand why the oldest, slowest group still playing the game needs to try and play defense against bats only seniors can use. Want the game to go faster, though really what is the hurry in most cases? Try a little hustle on and off the field. |
| Oct. 24, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion Mike, we will have to let these guys know they are a little late to the party. I remember watching you hitting balls halfway up the hill to the Zoo on Rose field in the mid-70s. You and Indian Joe were always fun to watch in the home run derbies there. |
| Oct. 23, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion If you guys do that, great! Now seriously, do you think many other teams do nearly as often as they take BP? |
| Oct. 23, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softball team fund raisers I can see senior softball fundraising being a tough sell since the old guys probably have more money than most of the people they are soliciting. |
| Oct. 23, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Player wants to play in Tournaments (will Travel) You might want to leave contact information since you did not put anything in your profile....:( |
| Oct. 23, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion Gary, you are always sooooo proud of playing in Vegas. The highlight of your month? Year? Life? What tourney did you win to qualify to attend? Please don't tell me all you had to do was open your checkbook. Seniors don't take defense seriously by noticing the ratio of BP sessions to defensive practices. 20:1? 50:1? 100:1? Olden, please notice I said "many guys", not all. Allan, I have been saying that for months on here. The bats have caused so much, but the prideless amongst us will never give them up. I understand that, but just hate to see more silly/stupid/whacky rules to accommodate them. |
| Oct. 22, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: SSUSA ID CARD question Not you at all.... |
| Oct. 22, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion So many guys now don't/won't even run bases for themselves, how is another guy going to go out on the field and play defense? stick and boston make good points! |
| Oct. 22, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion Banning the special bats would bring averages and runs down without needing more whacky rules to screw up the game. Funny how no one ever seems to want to deal with that possibility. |
| Oct. 22, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: One pitch Try to find old videos of Lou Delmastro. |
| Oct. 22, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion I suppose we should not "ban" murder because people still commit it? |
| Oct. 22, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion Would this be yet another whacky rule change to compensate for the special bats? |
| Oct. 21, 2012 Gary19 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: New Teams Shouldn't you be allowed to register higher if you want? Why would ambitious times be discouraged? |
