| Dec. 30, 2013 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: All the hate on DBO with senior bats...how about this? rdrman66, Your comment, "If your afraid of (for) your safety then either don't play or do something different." They want to play and will play but they are also doing something different as well. They are trying to make the game safer (just like the NFL, or the NHL) so they can go home after. I don't pitch so it really has nothing to do with me being afraid but I do have a friend on the mound. If I did hit a pitcher and hurt them how am I going to feel. I'd have to see that survey that you took to believe that an OVERWHELMING majority of people in senior softball enjoy the game as it!! |

Everybody is entitled to their opinion which is why there is a message board. You getting angry and throwing out an absolutely ridiculous comment, like shut your pie hole doesn't help. Most of the comments are to try and make the game better and safer. One question why would anybody be afraid of Jose Canseco anymore than anybody else? |
| Dec. 26, 2013 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: All the hate on DBO with senior bats...how about this? Perl, There has been a DBO since the late 80's. The best players have had to adjust since then. It doesn't matter how many teams there are they still have to adjust. I've been playing softball since 1978 at the top levels and believe the HR rule has made for a lot better all around game. The DBO is not what ruined the game at the upper level. The smokey's was one of my favorite tourney as well but not because of the unlimited HR but because of the atmosphere and the crowds. Do u really think an unlimited HR rule will help these teams beat Resmondo or laservision. Absolutely not!!! Even though they don't stand much of a chance with it they would have no chance without it. |
| Dec. 26, 2013 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: All the hate on DBO with senior bats...how about this? I don't know why people keep saying DBO for every level but major plus. That doesn't make any sense at all. The best players in the country have to adjust when the HR's are gone why not us? It really blows my mind how people what to make it a one dimensional game. If you can't adjust your swing you're not a major plus player or don't want to adjust then you are a selfish player. Do what's better for the game!!!!! As for the pitcher put up a screen and let the him decide if he wants to try to field the ball or stay behind the screen. Hit the screen it's an out. SIMPLE and you still have for the most part a real softball game!! |
| Dec. 17, 2013 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: players please respond to rule changes This my personnel opinion. Who cares I know. Here I go anyway. There are so many different reasons for wanting or not wanting some of these rules. I will play any type of softball game they have why because I love the game, the competition and most of all the friends I've made. Given my choice of game I'd like best. I'd say whatever HR limit they make and a DBO. Why because now you have defense, strategy, running, base hits and power all in 1 game. That's what softball is. It's not a hit it as far as u can, then sit down till your next time up. There's no strategy there. That's just a HR derby. By the way if somebody does start up a HR derby tournament I'm in. NOT JUST A GAME BUT A PASSION. Happy Holidays One and all. Doug Kett #22 |

| Dec. 14, 2013 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: players please respond to rule changes Patty, I too like this rule. It's not about whether or not you hit HR's when you were young or not. It's about putting skill into the game. Base hits, defense and strategy. Most anybody can hit it out but who can keep it in when your not suppose to hit it out!! There are enough HR's in the game to make a mistake or two and not hurt you. |
| Dec. 13, 2013 Hammer22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: players please respond to rule changes I believe the home run rule is great for all divisions. Everybody keeps saying there shouldn't be a DBO rule in the PLUS divisions. What makes that division any different than all the rest. If there is a limit in one division there should be a limit in all division. First off the senior bats are STUPID and the balls are STUPID. Pretty much anybody can hit the ball out of the park. Lets have some strategy in the game. For those that say its for safety purposes you can't raise the HR rule to protect the pitchers. Do something like put a screen the width of the mound in front of the pitcher. Again I agree with the DBO rule. P.S. Maybe they can start a team HR derby tournament. |
