| Feb. 13, 2014 BudLeftField | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The Villages Hi George-The winter season ends on 4/11, then they close the fields for maintenance until the summer season starts in May. There are a couple of fields outside of the Villages that can be used for practice. There are two batting cages right out side the Villages on Rolling Acres Road and SR 466. There is a field nearby where you will find some open practices going on. It is about a quarter of a mile north of Rolling Acres rd. and 466, on rolling Acres. It's called Harry Sachs field and is pretty well kept. The outfield fence is 250 ft. Hope this info helps. Bud |
| Dec. 28, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Bats Discussion: REEBOK BARRAGE vs MIKEN ULTRA 2PIECE MAXLOAD Hi surf 88-There is open practice on all fields in the Villages. There are 8 fields available. 4 at Buffalo Glen and 4 at Saddlebrook complex. Players start arriving early, around 7:45 and it goes on all day. The Villages is about 20 minutes south of Ocala, and Buffalo Glen complex is on 466 about 2 miles east of 301, directly across from Fresh Market. |
| Dec. 8, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Indoor batting practice balls Hi birdie-I have used the Easton Incredi-ball indoors.I have also used Worth NCAA lite-toss training balls for tee work in my garage. These are foam rubber. Good luck. |

| Oct. 14, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: The Villages,Fl Hi Alan-Sorry to see Team 1 Sports left the tournament early. Miami Power won 50 Gold over Levin Financial. The fans here enjoyed watching Jose and Ozzie Canseco play. Other winners were 50 Silver-Talon Wealth Mgmt., Men's 60-Yard Dogs over Hollis Appraisals, and Men's 65-Beef O'Bradys. Good luck with your team. Bud |
| Oct. 11, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: The Villages,Fl Hi Jac-I'm playing against Tony's team tomorrow at 8a.m. He picked up a couple of Villagers to play with the Streaks. Tom Farrell and Tom McGann are playing shortstop and middle infield. Two good players. See you soon. |
| Oct. 11, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: The Villages,Fl Hi Alan-my team played at Saddlebrook today and your team was at Buffalo Glen. Tomorrow it should be just the opposite. I will definitely look you up on Sunday. Good luck. |
| Oct. 10, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: The Villages,Fl any teams coming to the Villages,Fl tournament on Oct.11,12,13.? Unlimited runs,HRs and a Home run hitting contest. Two softball complexes with 8 fields in top condition. Also very clean concessions and rest room facilities. |
| Sept. 10, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: remedies for arthritis I used to hit out of a crouch with knees bent until recently I started experiencing pain in the knees. I was also having back problems due to trying to wind up and explode the hips through the ball. I now stand straight up in the batters box with an open stance facing the pitcher. This way my hips are already open a bit. As a result, my knees and back feel much better. I don't know what grip you use on the bat, but lining up the knockin knuckles and laying the bat across the fingers and holding it loosely in your hands might relax your fingers. I also take alleve and ibuprofin before each game. I hope this helps. Good luck. |
| Aug. 31, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: You make the call part 643 Hi stick8-If the shortstop runs to third base or throws to third base for force out ,for third out ,the run would not score, In the case of a tag play,if the run scores before the tag,the run should count. Good question. |
| Aug. 22, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Play at first Hi Webbie25-You make a good point that the players are inexperienced. As stick8 says-this is a good reason to have two first bases. |
| Aug. 21, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Play at first Sorry-should be baseman, not basement. |
| Aug. 21, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Play at first I think the first basement who has his foot in the middle of the bag while taking a throw could be called for defensive interference. The batter/runner is entitled to step on first base. Some common sense should prevail,as the first baseman's foot on top of the bag is posing a risk of injury to both players. |
| Aug. 21, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Another You Make The Call The appeal would have been made after the play was over.The runner who left early would have been called out and the run would not count if I was the head umpire. |
| Aug. 21, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Another You Make The Call If an appeal was made and the umpire saw the play and ruled the runner on third left early, the runner is out, the inning was over and the resulting rundown was inconsequential and the run would not count. |
| Aug. 11, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Plantar Fasciitis Cortisone shots worked for me.Good luck. |
| June 28, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: safety masks We had a bad injury in our rec league. 50 and over age. One of our pitchers was hit in the face with a line drive. The mask he was wearing was plastic and shattered. He sustained cuts to his face (12 stitches) a broken orbital bone and a detached retina. He has lost vision in his left eye. I know some pitchers will not wear masks, and that is up to the individual player. But if you pitch and wear a mask make sure to get the best you can,whatever the cost. It seems like some of these plastic masks are unsafe. Stay safe and good luck to all. |
| May 30, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Lower Back Pain Home Remedies I have found that Bio-freeze gel helps ease the pain. I would suggest wearing a back support when taking batting practice. If the pain persists, you might even open your stance a bit to take some strain off the back. Ibuprofin is good. I always carry some in my bag. Good luck. |
| May 27, 2013 BudLeftField | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Combat Twilight bat users A player on my team recently bought a Combat Twilight and another guy bought a Combat Ambush. Both are now back to using their Mikens. They are using the combats for BP. Mikens and Reeboks are the much preferred bats in my league. I wonder if the P413 will hit with them? |
