| , Feb. 22, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Staying behind the pitching screen In our league at Al Bishop in Marietta, Ga, the leg of the screen (we use PitchSafe nets must touch the rubber. A ball that strikes the screen is treated as a foul ball. If on last strike, the batter is out. We don't have a rule that covers a pitcher moving from behind the screen so it is allowed. I pitch sometimes and most pitchers know which batters you need to remain behind the screen. At least I do!! Boro, all of these rules are local rules. |
| , Feb. 13, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: Bats Discussion: Dudley Lightning I've been told by several that they are the same bat. A teammate says no but I still believe they are. I have one 2017 and have had several 2015/6's. |

| , Jan. 16, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player Classification According to the TEAM RATING INDEX FOR PLAYER ELIGIBILITY & EQUALIZERS Player R/I History is HIGHEST R/I in last TWO (or ONE if 70+) + CURRENT Seasons Major I'm sure Staff will let us know if I'm incorrect. ;) |
| , Jan. 15, 2017 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: RECLASSIFYING A TEAM/AND OR PLAYERS You may want to check out [Team Rating Index (R/I) • Player/Team Experience ratings chart PDF digital file] or even call the office. The players in question have a rating of 8 as being 55 M+. 60 M would be a 6. It states the player: 2. May play ONE R/I less than HIGHEST R/I as one of three "out-of-rating" players allowed on that team's roster 3. May NOT play TWO R/I less without PRIOR approval by SSUSA Home Office under GRANTED exception request. |

| , Dec. 30, 2016 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: slow pitch slider Our league is also 6-12 but after my 8' pitches are constantly called flat I start throwing them waaaay up there, 16-18'! lol |
| , Dec. 29, 2016 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: slow pitch slider yes, that's what I did. |
| , Dec. 29, 2016 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: slow pitch slider You are correct, the bulls eye is between my thumb and index finger. Keep me updated and we will keep this a secret! ;) |
| , Dec. 28, 2016 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: slow pitch slider I don't think you are wasting your time but, I really don't want my opposing pitchers to learn this pitch. I've thrown this for the past 10 years, mostly in league but I have pitched in a handful of tournament games. It has really worked for me. The way I threw it was to throw it as a two seam pitch. In the past year or so I've lost the ability to consistently throw it. I've modified a ball like you pics show and it doesn't work for me. I've adjusted my fingers somewhat and think that I have hit on the best hand position for me. I'm thinking that if the catcher should be able to see the bulls eye then I should be able to see a bulls eye on the opposite side of the ball. Right? |

| , Dec. 15, 2016 BruceinGa | Topic: Bats Discussion: Mikens new Freak Senior bats for 2017 I would advise hitting the Miken bat of choice before purchase. I have always swung heavy bats, 29 or 30. I now swing a 12" 29 Dudley. At the camp I was swinging a 30oz el Adidas and tried a 28 Big Cat. The Big Cat felt much more heavier the Adidas. Btw, many smaller guys there liked the 30 el Adidas. |
