| Feb. 2, 2009 DMac | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Papago & The DBO Pitcher's Box Rule Gary: Why bother sending your kids to college? If they are anything like you, they already know everything. |
| Jan. 20, 2009 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: PRAY FOR OBAMA JB: I may be being anal here, but I believe the word is HOE not hole. Having met politicians from Chicago before, the word might take on extra significance. I truly hope this is not the case. |
| Jan. 1, 2009 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: T-Shirts - What to do? I donate them to the needy. I get a kick out of occasionally seeing a homeless person wearing one, especially if my name is on the back. |
| Dec. 18, 2008 DMac | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: rule changes I don't know who you guys are playing against, but getting something past Sierrahiker or Robbin of the Strokers is never a cheap hit . The problem with this DBO rule is eliminates the importance of the pitcher as a defensive position. Put anyone on the mound; if the ball comes near him it is an out. As long as he can throw strikes, who cares if he can field. |
| Nov. 19, 2008 DMac | Topic: Product review Discussion: Nokona gloves Allan: I have a Nokona and I like it very much. My nickname in the field used to be "Fifty-Fifty". Since I started using the Nokona, I am regularly called "Sixty-Forty" and occasionally "Seventy-Thirty". I even had two tourneys where my fielding percentage was higher than my batting average. It was the easiest glove to break in that I have ever owned. |
| Nov. 4, 2008 DMac | Topic: Associations Discussion: I.D.Fees We all have our own stories and situations. It takes a very small person , indeed, to presume to know mine. |
| Nov. 4, 2008 DMac | Topic: Associations Discussion: I.D.Fees It's a soak D.G. I would save a lot of money each year if I wasn't eligible to play tournament ball. Considering that of the five games I played last Saturday in Phoenix, three of those games were against teams from my neighborhood, so maybe I will stay home. |
| Nov. 4, 2008 DMac | Topic: Associations Discussion: I.D.Fees Ken: The thought crossed my mind, but they are too slick for me. The expiration date on all three of my cards is 12/31/08. I wonder if my wife could get a partial refund if I die before 12/31/13. |
| Nov. 3, 2008 DMac | Topic: Associations Discussion: I.D.Fees Moving up to sixties. Just went to print out the application for a new I.D.card. Fifty dollars? Tell me this is a misprint, please. |
| Oct. 31, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New One Dollar coin issue Scott; This is one of those false rumors that the internet is known for. Although a very small percentage of these coins are missing "In God We Trust" due to a printing error, the vast majority have the phrase on them. On the other hand, if these turn out to be as popular as the Susan B. Anthony models, God may be relieved to not be associated with them. |
| Oct. 30, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Timing hitt2: Don't forget luck. I hit .909 in Salt Lake City and a couple of different bounces could have greatly affected that career best. Bob: The best way to bat 1.000 is to get a hit the first time up and then fake a pulled hammy. By the way, I am still getting dry heaves from that pumpkin picture you sent. Was that really you? |
| Oct. 30, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Up the Middle Southpaw: If, by your reasoning, not having 100% bat control or going with the pitch are not valid arguments, then anyone who has ever hit or almost hit a pitcher must have been trying to hit the pitcher. Last year, in Burbank, they laid out chalklines 3 ft on each side of the mound. Any ball hit between the lines was a dead-ball out. First game, bases loaded, one out, batter hits a one hopper to the mound that the pitcher easily turns into an inning-ending DP. Uh-Uh. Rule states there is now bases loaded and two out. Next batter hits a bases clearing double. Burbank doesn't have that rule anymore. |
| Oct. 29, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Up the Middle Fred, where did you get the idea that I don't hit line drives. I'm a tomahawker who doesn't follow through on my swing, so fly balls are almost always an out for me. The middle for me is anywhere from the shortstop to the second base bag. This can be a pretty big area when he is squeezing the 5-6 hole. I try to keep the ball away from the pitcher mainly because I have had too many hits taken away by good fielding pitchers. As much as I would like to have complete control over where the ball goes, in reality I don't. Look, I'm not asking for batting tips here. All I'm saying is that pitcher safety shouldn't be completely the responsibility of the offense. |
| Oct. 29, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Up the Middle I'm a dead pull singles hitter who lives in the 5-6 hole. When I play teams familiar with my hitting, I'm lucky if I get 15 feet between short and third, so I gotta go middle. Sometimes a pitcher will throw me outside. If you throw a dead pull hitter outside, where do you think the ball is gonna end up. I've never tried to hit a pitcher in my life, but I have buzzed a few. I'm sorry, but I think the defense and the pitcher himself have to take some responsibility for balls hit up the middle. |
| Oct. 27, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: BAN THE ULTRA Sal: I saw that yellow Combat for the first time in Phoenix and I think I will see it a lot more in the future. What impressed me was not how far the balls went, but how quickly they left the playing field. |
| Oct. 24, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Any unbelievable, spectacular, unusual or funny plays or calls to share? I've always been proud of having been thrown out at all four bases in the same game (on two occasions), but three times in the same inning? I am in complete awe of this guy Rick. |
| Oct. 22, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Favorite Quotes Two from Redd Foxx On growing up poor: "If I wasn't a boy, I would have had nothing to play with", and the great line from Harlem Nights, "It takes a powerful pussy to make a man change religions". |
| Oct. 19, 2008 DMac | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The Batting Box This is a simple rule. The lines are considered part of the batter's box. You have to be completely in when the ball is pitched. To be called out, you have to have one foot completely out when you hit the ball. |
| Oct. 11, 2008 DMac | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: explain the various skill levels... Richie: I think what Bruce means by competitiveness is skill level, not "will to win". There are very good players in AA but not throughout the lineup. The higher you go up the level ladder, the less breaks you get in the field. There are no weak hitters at the Major level and certainly no "easy outs". |
| Oct. 7, 2008 DMac | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Help me find "Mike" He's definitely looking for Mike Swearingen, who plays 3rd base for the Mustangs. Mike is maybe the nicest person I have met in Senior softball and a pull hitter's best friend:) |
