| Nov. 17, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Ratings Home Landing Page What staff needs to do is refresh the whole list, it shows 60's teams from 2007 and 2013 as Major plus. Don't think they are still playing 60 ball. LMAO. |
| Oct. 5, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 35-35 Amazing! In 2018 playing 55 majors, team's number 3,4,and 5 hitter went a combined 93 for 99 in 8 games. Team never trailed in any inning, never exceeded the home run limit and swept the tournament 8 & 0 (Vegas Worlds). number 3 hitter made 1 out (32 for 33) number 4 hitter made 2 outs (31 for 33) number 5 hitter made 3 outs. (30 for 33) I think that was pretty good. |
| Aug. 16, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Southern Nationals Moving up is a measure of a good team, I agree with that, but moving up in the middle of the season is ridiculous. How can they expect to move a team just before the eastern nationals and force them to play with the same roster. SSUSA expects that team who has no major plus (due to AAA rules) to go out and compete against Major teams who may have up to 3 major plus players on team. This is not meant to cry on here, just meant for staff to see how it be expected that a AAA team can compete under those rules No problem with being moved up, just let the team play under the same rules. also even if it was allowed to pick up 3 new players what do you tell the 3 that have been with you all year and have paid for tickets and hotels to travel to Virginia that they are going to sit. How would anybody who has played this GAME like it? I don't think that mid season moving up or down is fair to anybody. |
| July 7, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: re classification Another fact we beat a team 5 times which is playing AAA 60's because they don't want to play 65 majors, their average age is well above 65. please explain how that's considered a good win? |
| July 7, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: re classification So, let me get this straight. Our team wins in the winter national 9 team bracket, then wins in the spring nationals 3 team bracket (looses against 2 major teams) and then wins a qualifier 2 team bracket. this is a reason to be moved to Majors. give me a break! and to top it off we are going to the eastern nationals and you want us to play against Major teams, how is that fair. with no previous exposure to that division. we played against 2 major teams in the spring seeding games and lost both. someone in home office needs to get a clue. I want to play against the best every where I go, but you can't ask this team to move up in the middle of the season based upon these results. |
| July 6, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Bats Discussion: usssa bats Reading the new policy "Beginning Nov. 1, 2023, Bats must be marked with the SSUSA/NTS Logo, or marked SSUSA approved (or have SSUSA logo), with 1.21 BPF or less." I hope this policy is moving forward, and does not mean that existing bat are band, correct? This is more for new bats coming out, correct? just wanting clarification. |
| July 5, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Bats Discussion: usssa bats if you look just above in the green area "bat policy" look up your bat. if not on there check with home office. |

| March 27, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference Dc, change your panties and catch the ball, I paly infield and have heard worse. I know we are living in soft woke world but come on. so if someone yells bad pitch you don't swing if its down the plate or if the yell swing you swing at a pitch they rolled towards home plate. what's bush league about this is the world we live in today. Someone please close this thread!!!! Thank You |
| March 27, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference Nancy, I love it. reminds me of a play when I use to coach optimist baseball. Runner attempts to steal second , catcher throws down, SS comes in front of the throw and cuts ball off, runner is standing on bag, SS tells runner it was a foul ball and runner heads back to first, SS tags runner out. Needless to say other coach not happy, my response teach your kids to listen to umpires not the other team. All's fair in love and baseball. :) |
| March 25, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Pitching Net sorry do not ever want to see a net. |
| March 25, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Pitching Net The net is great for league play, that allows for a lot more senior ball players to play this game. As for tournament play, I do ever want to see a net. If you are a tournament player and want to pitch "gear up" if not find another position. Also if you play in a league that has a net and you as a pitcher make the decision you want to come around the net, then that is on you, don't like the mandatory staying behind the net rule. Let grown men make there own decisions if the want to come out of the protection of the net. My 2 cents. |
| March 25, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference Nancy and to all the others who chimed in, and see how absurd to even ask for verbal interference. Thank You. Next time you here BOOT at a ball park come see me, we will laugh together. :) |
| March 23, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference Nancy, Thank you for your comments, I just don't want to get caught up in a true rules violation. As far as DBAX is concern, your opinion matters to me as much a grain of sand in the dessert. the old saying applies here "if you can stand the heat get out of the kitchen:. Players have been saying things as long as I been play I.E. bad hop and much more than that. So yours and Tim calling Bush league is bush to me. Have a nice day. :) |
| March 23, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference Tim, thanks for chiming in. first let me say say this I am offended by your statement bush league. I have played many years this game and have never tried or will try to be bush league. I have played against some of your teams and have heard the same or worst said. I am not seeking anything other to make sure I did or am not breaking a rule, on the other hand I am a bit tired and concern on the abilities of some of these TD when they make statements they are not sure of, maybe the should call or read before addressing rules. Example the play that happened against our team 3 years ago in the TOC, where an umpire and TD stated that if a player goes after a ball and does not touch it and hits a runner that is a dead ball and runners advance. Really!!! so a bit tired of hearing make rules as you go, not actual rules. I will drop it here. And you can close this thread. |
| March 23, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference Just wondering when I was going to get an official rules interpretation on this subject? |
| March 20, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference Nancy, thank you for your input. I am still not sure how it all came about, I have been doing that for the longest time "BOOT" and have never been told it was a verbal interference. I was told along time ago if a runner yelled something at a player trying to make a play, then that could be an interference call. But never from the dugout. The TD was out of place and should know the rules before approaching a player and demanding to stop or she would have me ejected. I respected her wishes but I know she was wrong, unless that's a special or adapted rule for SSUSA that I am not aware. Can staff officially chime in on this. please |
| March 20, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference ok, so what would you have said to that coach if you where the TD.LMAO I am still waiting on official rule. As someone who has umpired before I would have just had to smile and say play ball. |
| March 20, 2023 grayhitter59 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference I have been playing softball for a while now and have yelled boot as long as I can remember. I was the one who yelled boot (from the dugout) the third baseman of the other team let ball go through legs, they claimed it was because of my "verbal Interference" I asked umpire he could not believed they brought that up. after a few innings the tournament director came over a stated that it is verbal interference and I needed to stop doing that. "Senior softball rules" I expressed my disbelief and told her I was going to look it up. Can someone please show me where this is clearly stated in the rule books. if anyone is interested we where winning and won 31-16. "BOOT" |
