| June 3, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 on defense 13, curious. What are your positives 11 men bring to the game? What level do you play? |
| June 2, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 on defense Spot on ALLPRO. |
| May 31, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 on defense Gotcha Dbax........I agree and may campaign to have the rule changed at the winter meeting. raiderman, I would think you are pretty much spot on. D, for your info, I play 75M+(Scrap Iron) and 65M (Las Vegas Stars). The 75's with the extra man isn't near as much fun hitting as hitting with the 65's (IMO). I've been a pull line drive hitter for 45 years!!!! Like so many of us as we age, I don't want more changes! It wasn't broken! |
| May 31, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 on defense I watch several teams where the skills are still there and they play 3 outfielders and the extra infielder! Watch 50 M+ for the most part, mostly 5 man infield. Do you think that the skill level is so diminished at 70 that another fielder is needed? If that's your thinking, shouldn't you have teams with the same skill level then use the 11th player, like 65M, 60AAA, and 55AA? I think the rule was put in place to get more old people into the game at the same time. Partisipation! It's a horrible idea period. Like I stated earlier, why not put 20 or so guys out there so it looks like a BP field! That will cut down on hits, cut down run production, and speed up the game! Dbax, if you are going to place the extra fielder there, have it as a rule for all ages. Why pick on 70's to throw under the bus? |
| May 30, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 on defense Dbax, you don't play 70's do you? Why do you think it's OK for 11 in their age group? |
| May 29, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 on defense Makes perfect sense, as a person ages, and his skill levels deteriorate, make it harder for him to get a hit! Does speed up the game! Could do like kids Tee Ball and just spread whoever shows for the game all over the field! Jawood, it does not decrease middle shooting, quite the opposite. Your best defensive guy just moved over and the 5-6 got smaller. Guy standing between pitcher and SS now; result, they try to hit to the 2nd base side of the pitcher or over him. IMO the extra fielder creates more middle shots, should be done away with or made uniform for all ages. |

| April 14, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament Results Gotcha missouridave, you are correct. I was just looking at the results rather than copy of bracket with scores. |
| April 14, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament Results stick, they have been posted for some time. Go to tournaments, scroll down to bottom, 2017 Archives, then whatever age group you wish to open. |
| April 9, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Scrap Iron loss of a great player and person I 2nd our brother Fabe from the islands. Surf, I'm another who fought through that demon(Cancer Free for 9 years), and am currently in the Scrap Iron family. Hang in there bud and continue to battle. It's like a test, work hard and beat it. Prayers to Skips family and to also to you Surf. |
| March 9, 2018 curveball | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: MITTS txassnighttrain, point well taken. (I book rooms in both early in the year! LOL) Thought logic would prevail; hard to figure why a stop or an outfielder would consider a mitt over a glove! I'd have to go back to earlier posts, but thought the talk before the rules committee vote was for allowing the pitcher to wear a mitt, just didn't recall it including ALL defensive players. |
| March 7, 2018 curveball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Field Assignments Changed for 70's and others nofear You are correct but you only read part of the post, it said TENTATIVE. Please note that TENTATIVE means they are NOT FINAL and are SUBJECT TO CHANGE If read entirely, you should have no gripe. I'm sure you'll end up with better game situations in St. George than you would have gotten in Mesquite (scheduled at night or on the baseball fields). You know all the fields are nicer for sure. |
| Feb. 26, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings Ratings system alive and well, we were moved to 75 M+ today, a correct discretionary decision. Thumbs up to those that rated. System worked in our case. |
| Feb. 24, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: St. George Lack Of Hotel Discounts - Spring Worlds. Tomar, that's the same problem we have when we venture into California. Prices of everything involved with travel to that state are off the chart. Motels sky high, fuel prices perhaps highest in the nation. Where the tournaments are located in CA, we don't have an option for inexpensive rooms like the Mesquite option is for you. I'd gladly take a beautiful 30 min.drive like the Mesquite/St. George drive for rooms in CA at Mesquite prices! |
| Feb. 22, 2018 curveball | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: MITTS Interesting K Man, thanks for the update. |
| Feb. 22, 2018 curveball | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: MITTS nighttrain I was under the ASSumption the mitt rule was added for the pitcher. Mt thinking the 1st baseman, catcher, and the pitcher can now wear mitts. |

| Feb. 8, 2018 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas tournament 2/17-2/19 Yes, three day tournament. Monday is a legal holiday, tournament games will be scheduled on that Monday. |
| Jan. 25, 2018 curveball | Topic: Bats Discussion: What Became of 30+ Ounce Bats? Nancy, Ray did get to play a little in the Senior circuit. I played on a Monday night senior league with him, and he did play a few tourneys with s team out of the NW. He was quite a character, and developed into a very good hitter. |
| Jan. 22, 2018 curveball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter Classic in Bullhead I agree with bruiser, very good experience. Didn't have the problems Diesel had. Will be back for sure next year. Las Vegas Stars(65) beat Cut Loose 65's(CA) in the 65/70 Gold division. Stark Street Dough Boys won the 70 Silver Division. |
