April 15, 2018 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 1-1 count and new ball I do NOT know why you would to |
April 15, 2018 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 1-1 count and new ball I'm just an old guy who can remember what REAL softball/baseball was like. 1.If you want speed up the game, and I do know why you would, you can do away with third base and just have everyone just run to second. 2. If you want to play seven innings you just do away with the clock. 3. Or you could have the umpires enforce the runner rule. I play in two age levels and play one or more tournaments a month and I know that we spend at leased a total of one innings, both teams, per game waiting for--- one the coach to decide if he is going to put in a runner Two if does wants to he then has to find someone to run Three then they have to get him out of the bathroom or he's over talking to his other half Fourth Fifth Wes |

Jan. 30, 2017 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: National Senior Games In Birmingham AL Kev Most of the info above is correct, but! You need some more info. The senior games are held every four years. You must play in a state tournament and be in the top three in each age group to qualify for National games. I have been to the one in Kentucky, San Francisco and Cleveland. Yes they cost more but if you like to play ball it's a chance to play with people you have not played with, assuming you start a new team, and play against teams you have not played against before. It is very hard to get commitments from player for this tournament because you play state tournament one year and National the next. I have played 65 70 and 75 and found that most teams had some very good player and some very bad player so it all came out even in end. Cleveland was the best one of the three that I played in. Not sure when the next National games are but I think next year 2018. Each state has it's own rules. Tenn will not let you play on their softball team unless you live in the state. I think the rules are, check them out, if there is not a team in your state you can play in another state. Kentucky has not every had a team even when the tournament was here. If you put a team together I would like to tryout with you, 65, 70 ,75. Yes, it's like the Huntsman games, they make it last 7 days. Wes |

Oct. 12, 2015 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Can you get faster? the first ? is why do you want to run faster?? If are or have been fast and if you just want to turn a single into a double work on getting out of the batter box faster and making the turn at first base. I'm 75 and run for 65-70 and 75's. I like to make it from first to third on a grounder to out field. If you get your steps down and your turn at second it's easy. Also you plan on 50% bad throws from the out field or 50% of the time the third baseman will not catch the throw |

July 1, 2015 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: texas state championships I can tell you after running some tournaments it does not make any difference if you do it in 2 days of 3 days or 4 days there will be complaints by more than one or two. I stopped doing it because we, as a group, are not very nice people and can some time just be cruel |
