| Dec. 23, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS OUR 50 AND OVER LEAUGE WENT TO SUCH CRAPPY BALLS THAT GUYS WHO PLAY TOURNENYS WE HIT TWO HOMERUNS ON 280 FOOT FENCES ALL YEAR OUT OF 21 GAMES |
| Dec. 23, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS NOW BECAUSE SOME DONT WANT SCREENS THE LEAUGES ARE GOING SINGLE WALL BATS AND CRAPPY BALLS |
| Dec. 2, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS In any sport you have your keys to a good team, hockey goalie, football quarterback, and so on, i am 62, have been running a team since we turned 50, we started at 50, went to 55, then 60 and probably should play 65, chicago prime, every year when planning our roster number one priority was pitchers, then go from there, if we didnt have pitching we didnt have a team, we pulled out of tournaments with 14 guys but one or none pitchers that weekend, because no one will pitch unless you are one, this year i am retiring from tournament ball and just going to pitch in local leauges and have fun and not worry about getting hit, more and more of us are doing it, glen hall goalie for the blackhawks threw up before evey game knowing what was coming, know they have masks better equipment, etc, off my soapbox, im done good health to everyone |
| Dec. 1, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS Just like a dangerous intersection, nothing is done till its to late, looks like the majority are for it, have a few screen tournaments for the majority of us chickens, that don't have the broken bones to show for it, just because there is a screen it would be the pitchers choice on wether he wants to stand behind it or not |
| Nov. 22, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS Thanks for the great comments, looks like the majority agree with me, stay healthy my friends |
| Nov. 6, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS almost every league is going to a screen, for liability issues, the only one not using it is the tourneys, lets see who will be the first, then everyone will follow, |

| Nov. 4, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS to answer you duke you are a major plus player |
| Nov. 4, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS The 11th player doesn't help the pitcher from getting hit, once the ball is in play the screen becomes part of the playing field,thats why you have screen tournaments for teams who want it and tourneys for who don't, you will be schocked |
| Nov. 3, 2015 UMBACH | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS My friend plays in the florida half century tournaments, this year they have gone to the screen,its the wave of the future, used to play 16 inch without gloves now they have glove tourneys, I think some association should try a few screen tourneys and see the results, you might be surprised, |
