| , March 31, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: You make the call In my opinion I would call out, inning over. |

| , March 29, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball Exit Speed Testing and top Pro Speed Demos..Swing Makeover #52 Bogie, with my Swing Speed Radar and a balanced bat I was able to reach 93mph. It wasn't a swing that I would have used in a game, I was swinging out of my shoes!! I'm very happy with a speed somewhere in the 80's. I can't wait until Cocoa Beach to try yours again. |

| , March 22, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Get rid of Major + I'm guessing posters here are telling how many years they've played major plus so we can see their perspective. As for me I've played major plus for 12 years out of my 16 years in senior softball. One problem, besides being able to only play another team two out of three games, is that in some qualifiers other teams won't play you at all, even when offered the 5 runs or the additional defensive player. The only recourse is to play nationals. Some years our schedule looked like this: TOC, SSUSA Spring Nationals, ISF World Cup, ISSA World Championships, SPA Nationals, LVSSA/SSUSA World Masters and finally the SSUSA Winter Nationals. That's only 7 tournaments. Most years we didn't play in the SSUSA Winter Nationals so that left 6. This is what a major plus team would have to look forward to. If they don't have a generous sponsor it would be prohibitive to most players. |

| , March 21, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What is the only situation where, after the play is over that a "do over" or "mulligan" can be implemented? (at least that I'm aware of) We had a "Do Over" Sunday. The pitch hits square in the middle of the mat, umpire calls ball. After our catch, pitcher and a couple more that were in out dugout complained the umpire calls No Pitch. In essence it was a "Do Over". |
| , March 20, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: We need a pitcher Sorry Curtis, we have filled that position. Good luck finding a team. There is a senior tournament in Valley, Al, April 21-23. You may want to check out the teams there. |
| , March 19, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Get rid of Major + Agreed Titanhd, get rid of AA division. Per my other post, just have division 1, 2 and 3. Divide all teams equally into one of the three divisions. |
| , March 19, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softball Burnout Paco, we just need an attitude adjustment! Grayhitter59, we had a great tournament in Tampa. All of our game were close and we aren't happy with ISSA's decision. We played in Montgomery this past weekend and placed 2nd behind Montgomery Swarm. There were 4 of us in 55 major. Maybe this will solidify our ranking as 55 major. :) I agree with eliminating one of the divisions. Then take the total number of teams and divide the remaining into three divisions. Some of the AAA teams will move to the lower division and the better AAA teams will move up to the level of the major teams. I have promoted this in the past but didn't get any support. |
| , March 16, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Bats Discussion: trump rocks Tatooball would the one to jump in here. I believe that ISA approved balls are lighter, thus caused less damage to bats. I don't know about movement. |
| , March 16, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a Team We play Tuesday nights, 7:00 and 8:15pm. I play first base ;) |
| , March 16, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a Team Which D team did you play for? I would suggest that you drive to Montgomery this Saturday and check out the teams there. We play at 10:00am and 2:00pm, then double elimination, finishing up on Sunday. |

| , March 16, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a Team Emmitt, I play on a 55+ major team based out of Georgia. I also play in a Senior League at Al Bishop in Marietta. I know it's a drive from Henry County but I know of one or two from the south side of Atlanta that make the trip. We have a Facebook group, Georgia Elite Senior Softball. Ask to join and I would be happy to accept it. I have probably seen you as I and a teammate have played for Totally Committed, the E class winners at Bishop a week ago. Our 55 tournament team is now in search of a pitcher. I'll pass your number along. Bruce |
