| Posted | Discussion |
| April 21 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | SSUSA took a thread off by Joe Lecak about Bill Ruth getting hurt from a line drive while pitching. I heard he broke a bone in his hand and a couple in his face. Sorry Bill. I've played against you before. You got guts and get well soon. However, there's a terrible irony about all this. SSUSA has changed rules from last year that make what happened to Bill much apt to happen. They've changed HRs to outs and put a meaningless PPR rule in that only endangers pitcher's more and detracts from the hitting experience of all the players. Who thought this combination would work in senior ball? Not anyone who plays and gets our game. C'mon, man. And we hold SSUSA responsible, ironically enough for Bill's injury and all those to come until/unless SSUSA has the courage and the character to admit they made mistake and correct the situation. Return us to the standards of last year's 26 team event in Phoenix. Dare and show us you care. |
| April 22 SSUSA Staff 3505 posts | SSUSA did NOT remove any thread on any topic today, and has not done so for several weeks ... For those of you interested in reading the allegedly disappearing thread, it is titled Pitching Masks discussion and remains intact here in its entirety ... |
| April 22 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | I must be getting old. I could have sworn I didn't see the thread. I do that with my keys and glasses, a lot, too. That's my mistake and for it I apologize yet, it changes NOTHING about Bill's injury and it's sad irony regarding 'the new rules' SSUSA has beset us with this year. More pitchers and short infielders are in danger directly because of these rules and the majority of us know it's true. When will SSUSA get a clue and return us to last years standards so we can continue to invest in and enjoy senior softball with them. |
