| Sept. 17, 2018 B94 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: runner not on base at pitch Unless the runners are leaving so early it's blatantly obvious in a single umpire system (especially with the runners at first and third base)it is doubtful this will ever be called. The umpire is focused on the pitcher, pitch height, etc all through the middle of the diamond. Now in a two man system it's a different story... |
| Aug. 2, 2018 B94 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Calling High Pitches I think if they went to a 10' ceiling you see more 12' pitches being called legal. Many umpires I find have no idea what 12' actually is (twice the height of an average pitcher at 6' tall) and there are a lot of 14'-16' pitches that are considered legal. Similarly, often times 6' pitches are called illegal that are fine. I personally don't care either way as long as the zone stays consistent. Personally as a pitcher and a hitter I prefer the 6-10' zone when called correctly. |
| March 2, 2018 B94 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: pitcher getting hit I don't think anyone hits up the middle intentionally at the pitcher, (or it is rare in the senior game) though many people will try to get a hit between the SS & 2nd baseman against a 4 man defense. In this scenario the pitcher is the only person that could "get in the way". I pitch and do my best to field my position on any ball hit through the middle and will intentionally fade to the hole I expect the batter to try to go through. The only time I'd expect to see an umpire to enforce that rule is if he hears something said which gave him the impression a team was intentionally trying to hit the pitcher. If something to the effect of "Spin his cap" or "time to send a message" was heard by the umpire then there is intent and his actions are justified. |

| Oct. 25, 2017 B94 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Photos from Huntsman Games There were photographers taking shots at the Huntsman Games and I wondered if anyone knew where these can be found online? I know they were set up at the Dixie Center but unfortunately we didn't get back there to view them. Any help would be appreciated... |
| Oct. 25, 2017 B94 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1st basemens mitt Seeing as it is mandated that the pitcher wear a mask he should be allowed to wear whatever glove he feels comfortable protecting himself with. The rules need to be updated to reflect this... |
| Oct. 6, 2017 B94 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2017 SSUSA Senior Masters Hey Mike will you be at the Huntsman Games with these next week? Hearing lots of good things about it and hoping to test drive one. Brad |
| Sept. 29, 2017 B94 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Huntsman Schedule I like the looks of this! Hopefully it helps to speed up getting the brackets done after the seeding games are completed... |
| Sept. 26, 2017 B94 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2017 Jason Kendrick Freak Platinum swing weights These are really close to sticker weight. Typically within .25oz. The days of the Miken bats being off by an ounce or more are gone... |

| Aug. 23, 2017 B94 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Players with the same number on a team As long as players weren't trying to switch spots in the batting order with the other player wearing the same number it really shouldn't be a "critical" part of the game. Again as others have said a simple piece of tape fixes the situation if it bother's you that much. Personally I'm happy I woke up on the "right" side of the grass and get to play the game I love... |
| Aug. 8, 2017 B94 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken PT vs Dudley Not so strange for someone just coming to senior ball coming from Utrip where most tournaments test bats as there is a compression limit on bats there... Welcome to Senior Ball BH96! This is great ball where you'll find the respect for the game on the field and the camaraderie of your opponents off the field is a welcome change from "kids ball"... |
| Aug. 3, 2017 B94 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Policy Change That's a tough "one time" exemption rule for short-handed teams that are traveling to get to an event. Everyone is looking for more participation at tournaments from players to tournament directors. I understand there may have been individuals taki8ng advantage of the rule however, I personally believe that teams should be allowed to attend with 11 as a bare minimum and 12 is a safer bet if that means two or three exemptions. None of us are getting any younger and injuries happen at tournaments. Limiting a team to 10 is a good way to "encourage" people to play hurt so their team doesn't forfeit once start to play an event under these circumstances. |
| Aug. 2, 2017 B94 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: what is correct call I believe the fact that the batted ball made contact with the pitcher and redirected to hit the runner would simply make this a live ball play... |

| July 21, 2017 B94 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Older Miken U2 The smooth end cap and date stamp on this could very well be one of the early U2 bats that were said to be the original Ultra redone as U2s... Enjoy the bat it should be a lot of fun to hit. |
| July 20, 2017 B94 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat for an ASA 52/275 ball. That being the case obviously if he has the option to use his senior bat that would be the first choice. If he needs a USSSA bat I'd suggest any of the new Miken offerings as they all hit the 52/275 ball really well and the weighting options should make it easy to find a bat hombre is comfortable with... |

| July 11, 2017 B94 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Quick Bat Question You are partially right Katzy it is less than 1.21bpf so it's good to go. This bat definitely exceeded the ASA limits but imo isn't as hot as a good senior bat. It's simply about comfort for the OP... |
| July 10, 2017 B94 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Quick Bat Question Yes the bat is good... |
