| March 30, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: "A baseball stance" is not helping your Softball Swing SM 163 Thanks for sharing. I find all of your videos really helpful. |
| March 12, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Membership Renewal I thought that I would add this as it may help you. There is a different login for renewing memberships as there is for commenting on this board. If you log in using your message board login/password, you will not see the registration. I have a separate log in to use to register. I'm not sure if that is just the way I happened to do it or if it's that way for everyone but thought I'd pass that on in case it helps. |
| March 11, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sad News I don't know that person or team but it certainly adds perspective on things. Condolences to Jimmy, his team and all who knew her. The softball families are close and I'm sure all are affected by that loss. Jimmy was lucky to have a wife that traveled with him and was a part of everything. I know that I enjoy tournaments more when my wife makes the trip with us. |
| March 1, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2021 SPRING WORLDS Just curious, are you planning on using a different ball like you did for the World Masters tournament on those fields? I suspect you will have to based on our experience there last year. |
| Feb. 24, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: shoes If you play outfield and want a comfortable waterproof shoe, I like the Merrell trail shoes (with gore-tex). You pay more for these like Benji said about the Hoka's, but to me it's the best investment you can make if you're playing a lot of softball. I wish I would have made a switch to a quality shoe a long time ago. |
| Feb. 3, 2021 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Interference? Based on the scenario as described, I could see the second baseman being upset about getting run over on a force out situation. That wouldn't go over very well if it happened to me. The runner needs to slide or give himself up but I agree with BJ on the ruling. Seems like careless base running to me. |

| Dec. 22, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Should there have been a call I'm just jealous that someone is playing softball right now. Who cares about the call? My only comment on the play is that I appreciate Randall looking for feedback. That means you care and are trying just like the players are. I'll take an ump like you on my field all day long. Have a great holiday everyone! |
| Oct. 5, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Bats Discussion: 2019 Adidas Red 2pc endload Melee durability... I agree with NYTX, once you break it in just keep it as a gamer and be careful with it. We have one person on our team that hits it as hard as anyone and he seems to get about 400-500 swings on his. We both use a 28.5 oz though. Not sure if the heavier bats are more durable. |
| Sept. 28, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: moving to minnesota No more winter leagues for you magsdad. Good luck finding a squad to play with. |
| Sept. 22, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Congratulations 50 Caliber Congrats to Glen May and his squad. They put their work in to get there. They're nice enough to invite me to practice with them and I can tell you that they work hard to get better. It's good to see their effort rewarded. They're a great group of men on top of it. |
| Aug. 17, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WESTERNS Any issues with players or umpires being overcome with the heat? Hope everyone was OK and there were no issues. |
| Aug. 14, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Worlds Looks like the first 2 sessions for World Masters Tourney will be in St. George. This was taken from the tourney section of SSUSA site. SSUSA has received notice from Clark County, Nevada, that the fields for the first three sessions of the 2020 World Masters Championships will not be available because of the new COVID-19 protocols established by the governor. We will be moving the first two sessions of the World Masters (Men's 55 - 60 / Men's 65 - 85) to St. George, Utah for this year. We will post hotel information in St. George as soon as possible. Please be sure to make any needed lodging changes. The two sessions will each be held over three (3) days: Men's 55-60 (Sept. 18 - 20) & Men's 65 - 85 (Sept. 21 - 23). We are looking for alternative fields for the third session, the Men's & Women's 40, currently still scheduled for Sept. 25-27. We will update the men and women 40 age divisions as soon as we confirm alternative fields. |
| Aug. 12, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: DUDLEY PLAYER OF SAINT LOUIS LOST A MITT New Team. Thanks. They are checking to see if they can find who it is. I'll pass on your number if they get back to me. |
| Aug. 11, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: DUDLEY PLAYER OF SAINT LOUIS LOST A MITT NEW TEAM - Which age group for the Dudley team? They have 3 teams. I know a lot of those guys and can ask around but it would help to know if it was the 50, 55 or 60 team to narrow it down. |
| June 26, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rogers ARK TOC (early July) This one has been canceled per the recent SSUSA newsletter. |
| June 23, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rogers ARK TOC (early July) It will be interesting to see how many teams end up playing in Rogers. Most we spoke with in our division said they are not going. It does seem like there were more teams when this TOC event was in Shawnee, KS. The fact that the fields (more specifically outfields) in Rogers are terrible is another reason to skip it. On the other hand, if you're looking for good odds of qualifying for the TOC, this may be good for you. |
| June 9, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Review of Missouri Open June 6-7 We played 8 games and all went a full 7 innings. No issues with that. |
| June 9, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: schedule of game times at 60's Missouri open,june 6&7, won't ever play their again King: I agree with the walk to the parking lot and that stinking hill. Tough way to end the day but the thought of the beer waiting for me at the top was enough incentive to make it. NYTX: There were no issues that I saw related to the COVID-19 rules. It all went pretty smoothly. Umps wore face shields and catchers wore masks. It was super hot and humid so it was hard on those who wore any face protection. For the most part most people just got within about 10 feet after the game and talked instead of the typical high five/good game routine. Some officials were a little more interested in the particulars than others but overall it seemed like a normal tournament. I'm thankful that we got to play and to see a lot of friends from all over the Midwest. Hopefully everyone gets to start their tournament season soon. |
| June 8, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: schedule of game times at 60's Missouri open,june 6&7, won't ever play their again King - Playing later wasn't an advantage for us. Our first game was at 11 on Saturday. We played immediately after that, had a one game break and then had another back to back. That was brutal on us. We then played 4 straight starting at 10AM Sunday. I would gladly have traded places with you and enjoyed some breaks and cooler temps but overall I was just happy to be playing and getting to see a lot of friends that I haven't seen for several months. It would have been nice to not have the mid 90s, high humidity for the first tournament but that's the way it goes. |
