| Nov. 14, 2003 Airbosn Men's 70 329 posts | Stealing Bases Will the senior associations adopt? This will be in effect in all levels of ASA for the 2004 season Base-stealing in ASA for next year all levels; Yes you are reading that correct. When the ball crosses the plate you can take off. If it hits the plate or in front of the plate its dead ball and runners cannot advance. . |

| Nov. 14, 2003 DMac Men's 60 207 posts | Other than providing an opportunity for a pinch runner to make the all-tournament team, the only thing that this will add to the game is more injuries |
| Nov. 14, 2003 Wilmet McDonald Men's 60 6 posts | Oh yes.That very good,Stealing Bases may bring a little more comp. to the game. |
| Nov. 14, 2003 Bat-Heater Men's 50 64 posts | Stealing in slow pitch? I seen it many years ago and did not like it much then but the game has changed so much that it could be more suited for todays game. It would certainly change many aspects of the game, the least of which would not be the catcher. Maybe moving the bases back an extra 5 feet would help the catcher nail these would be thieves. Not sure if it's a good idea but I think it might be fun to try in a few tournaments. |

| Nov. 23, 2003 jimmieK Men's 50 5 posts | Baseball & fastball is a game that lends itself well to stealing but SP ...Nah! I think it's a bad idea. Too many bad bounces from the pitcher at home to try and pick up and if you get in tight to the batter to catch the ball in the air you could be toast. |
