| Jan. 4, 2021 Benji4 | Topic: Bats Discussion: ONYX Senior Bat with a WARRANTY Kevin I hear it's hard for Carlos to travel anyways. I'm told he is really busy working on those free jerseys. Be safe. |
| Dec. 30, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Elite Sports jerseys So I think I figured this out. Itxsoftballer you are bitching and complaining about Carlos not responding to your email during the holidays for free shirts? REALLY???????? |
| Nov. 17, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Shoe Awards? Yeah hopefully Lee recovers quickly because those FREE SHOES seem really important. |
| Nov. 6, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Registration Renewal Dave, Since Mr. Wood brought up the fact he pays your salary, I have a solution. Mr. Wood probably contributes about 25 cents toward your salary per year. Give him back his quarter and ban him from the message board and playing tournaments. I gave the same ultimatum to a few citizens in my patrol beat back in the day. They chose to stop complaining since they wanted/needed my services. I did the research and it was determined every citizen in my city roughly paid a nickel a year towards my personal Law Enforcement salary. Problem solved. Be safe Dave. Keep responding educationally.

| Oct. 12, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TEAMS MOVING UP Dave while I love your idea of moving everyone up that played on Sunday, you better be careful because there are a lot of sensitive people on this message board. You may hurt a feeling or two. Just looking out for ya. |

| Aug. 10, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Runner on 2nd helping batter with inside/outside pitches. Man I have seen some bizarre stuff posted on this website but yelling to your teammate from second base whether the pitch is inside or outside takes the cake. REALLY ????????. If you are that bad of a hitter that you can't tell whether a pitch is inside or outside when it is coming in underhand you should quit softball and find another hobby. I now believe that the person who said there are no stupid questions was really STUPID. Benji |
| July 27, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western Championships Careful Dave. You can't type in all capital letters anymore because you will be considered yelling and hurt some people's feelings. That was told to me by the message board police. |
| July 24, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter pops up, doesn't run; defense lets ball drop to get a double play. Legal? John Mc Send me your rule book please. Mine doesn't have a section for judgement calls that yours does. Thanks |
| July 22, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter pops up, doesn't run; defense lets ball drop to get a double play. Legal? txnightrain I also umpire and always side with the defense if the runner doesn't run. I simply tell the offensive team if your runner would have ran there would have only been one out. Like you said judgement call by the umpire who should never rule in favor of a person who doesn't run or at least jog to first base. Line drives are a different story than pop ups. |
| July 20, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter pops up, doesn't run; defense lets ball drop to get a double play. Legal? Tim Normally I would argue with you, however, SSUSA has recently deleted a few of my posts so I will refrain. Playing to win is not disrespectful to the game of softball. Letting a ball drop is not disrespectful to the game. I will assume you don't play at the highest level and you probably don't have many championships to your name. Next you will tell me in the spirit of competition I should never throw home when a runner doesn't run hard. I am trying to help my team get into the dugout as quickly as we can to hit. Losing is never fun. If you want in the spirit of competition you should try golf and maybe jacks/hopscotch on the sidewalk. Good luck to you this season. Benji |
| July 20, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter pops up, doesn't run; defense lets ball drop to get a double play. Legal? Here is the problem when an umpire says you should have caught the ball and doesn't award a double play. The next time a guy on my team attempts to catch a fly ball and drops it or it hits off his glove, I would argue with the umpire that my teammate meant to catch the ball so therefore it should be an out. After all the umpire already made a ruling that another ball should have been caught. No difference. I would then argue every dropped fly ball saying the player meant to catch it so it should be a catch. The umpire then looks stupid and gets frustrated. When all the umpire had to say was, "if the batter would have ran then the fielder would not have let the ball drop." I have never seen a fielder let a ball drop when the batter ran. The senior rule should be changed because it just makes another judgement call by umpires that doesn't need to be made. The batter just needs to run/jog and the fielder will never let a ball drop. |
| July 20, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter pops up, doesn't run; defense lets ball drop to get a double play. Legal? There are other ways to still complete the double play. 1. Never yell drop it. Simply tell the fielder the runner isn't running. 2. Always blame the sun and old age. 3. Argue that the play would not have occurred had the batter at least jogged to first base. 4. Hope you have an umpire who doesn't reward the lazy batter. Moral of the story. No matter how bad your swing was or how pissed off you are, simply jog to first base until the fielder catches the ball. |
| July 20, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas World still going to require a one time tourney prior to worlds? Dave Your idea of moving up teams who don't play in a qualifier one rating is genius. Make it happen. |
| May 31, 2020 Benji4 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SoCal Championships Just got back home to California from the Conference Tournament in Phoenix. It was 109 degrees, but it was bearable to play in. Dugouts had shade tarps and the misters were on with cool air blowing. The humidity was extremely low. As long as you are hydrated the heat in Yuma should not be the reason you skip this tournament. It was refreshing to see other softball players that were also tired of being told to stay indoors. Oh and people were hugging their teammates as if there was no paranoia. It's time to get back to normalcy. |
