| Aug. 10, 2011 doker | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hit today a 275 by 52 ball NORMAL TO ME IS WHAT WE USE MOST OF THE TIME AT OUR TOURNEYS...AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS WAS THE ONLY TOURNEY IN WHICH WE USED THIS 52-275 BALL...AND IT PROVED TO BE NOT UP TO STANDARD IN MY BOOK!!! MY OPINION!!! |
| Aug. 10, 2011 doker | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hit today a 275 by 52 ball MY THOUGHTS WERE THAT A MAJOR+ PLAYER KNOWS A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HITTING THE BALL OVER THE FENCE THAN MOST...NOT NECESSARILY KNOWING HOW TO HIT BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE...AND BY THE WAY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT DID NOT LIKE THE BALL ON OUR TEAM..JUST THE ONLY ONE THAT WRITES ON THIS BLOG BESIDES YOU!!.....I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I HIT THE BALL PRETTY WELL OVER THE WEEKEND ALTHOUGH I HIT SEVERAL BALLS THAT NORMALLY WUD HAVE BEEN TO THE FENCE BUT WERE JUST EASY FLY BALLS WITH THIS BALL!!!!!!!! |

YOU NEW GUYS JUST DON'T QUITE GET IT YET!!!....THIS SENIOR SOFTBALL STUFF IS NOT TOTALLY JUST ABOUT WINNING ALL THE TIME...DON'T GET ME WRONG..WE ALL STILL TRY TO WIN...BUT ITS JUST NOT THAT EARTH SHATTERING ANYMORE WHEN YOU LOSE!!!! NOT LIFE OR DEATH!!!.BEING ABLE TO STILL PLAY THE GAME WE ALL LOVE WELL INTO OUR 60'S AND 70'S IS WHAT ITS ABOUT...BEING ABLE TO TRAVEL TO GREAT VENUES ALL OVER THE US TO PLAY..THE MEETING OF NEW FRIENDS AND THE COMRADERIE OF BEING WITH OLD FRIENDS IS WHY WE STILL DO THIS.....14YRS NOW FOR MYSELF!!! YES WE SPEND SOME MONEY BUT MOST OF US WUD BE SITTING AT HOME EITHER PLAYING GOLF OR JUST GETTING FATTER...IF WE WEREN'T OUT HITTING THE BALL LIKE WE DO!!!!IT HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS FOR DAVE AND FRAN AND CREW SETTING ALL THIS UP OVER THESE YEARS AND I FOR ONE THINK IT'S RUN QUITE WELL AND MOST OF THESE SOCALLED GOOFY RULES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE BETTERMENT OF OUR TOURNAMENTS..AND THERE IS A GREAT MAJORITY OF THOSE THAT ATTEND THEIR TOURNEYS THAT WUD AGREE WITH ME.....THERES REALLY ONLY A FEW DISSENTERS THAT TALK ON THIS THREAD THAT DON'T AGREE....BY THE WAY ....THE NUMBER OF TEAMS GOING TO THE LARGE TOURNEYS EVERY YEAR HAS INCREASED YEAR OVER YEAR ...SO THEY MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT...JUST SOME THOUGHTS FOR YOU DISSENTERS OUT THERE..GOD BLESS SENIOR SOFTBALL USA!!!!!!!!! |

| Aug. 1, 2011 doker | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Todays's Game (2) HEY MADDOG..BOB...MISSED YA IN COLLEGE STATION!!! BY THE WAY, YOUR GUY WAS NOT HURT BY A BATTED BALL ...HE WAS PLAYING SS AND A THROW FROM THE SECOND BASEMAN(ACTUALLY A VERY SLOW TOSS)HIT HIM ON THE PINKY AND FRACTURED IT...JUST A FREAK OF AN ACCIDENT!!!......I LIKE READING THE BLOG HERE BUT YOU AND EINSTEIN NEED TO GET YOURSELVES TOGETHER AND STOP RUINING THE SIGHT HERE FOR THE REST OF US.....YOU SOUND LIKE OUR LEGISLATORS IN WASHINGTON!!!! WE ARE GROWN MEN AND CAN BE CIVIL TO ONE ANOTHER!!! AT LEAST ON A COMPUTER SIGHT????..DOKER |
| Aug. 1, 2011 doker | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: There's so much wrong with Senior Softball - Brackets DUKE I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.I'VE BEEN PLAYING THE SSUSA TOURNEYS SINCE I TURNED 50...THAT'S 14 YEARS NOW..ABLE TO PLAY 5GAMES IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO....WE PLAY OUT OF TEXAS AND IF IT WAS JUST A DOUBLE ELIM TOURNEY WE PROBABLY WUD NOT ATTEND AS EACH OF US PUT OUT BETWEEN $700-1000 TO GO!!! AS FAR AS THE FLORIDA TEAMS ARE CONCERNED I'M FROM THE MIAMI/FT LAUD AFEA AND THOSE TEAMS PLAY IN THE FLA HALF CENTURY ONCE A MONTH AND TRAVEL TO DIFFERENT CITIES IN FLORIDA ALREADY TO PLAY A FOUR GAME ROUND ROBIN!!!! THAT'S WHY WE DON'T SEE TOO MANY ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE US EXCEPT FOR THE REALLY BIG TOURNEYS!!!...DUKE YOU ARE RIGHT THAT THE EXTRA GAMES GIVE THOSE PLAYERS THAT MAY NOT BE STARTERS A CHANCE TO PLAY....WHICH KEEPS UP TEAM MORALE AND ASSURES THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS TO TRAVEL WITH...!!! JUST MY THOUGHTS...THE GUYS AND GALS AT SSUSA REALLY DO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SIGHT AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO IMPROVE THEIR PRODUCT WHETHER SOME OF YOU AGREE OR NOT...!!!! THE GAME WE PLAY NOW IS AWESOME EVEN WITH THE FEW RULES WE USE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF COMPETITION.....5RUN RULE...HOMER LIMITS...SENIOR BATS.....AS I SAID THESE RULES EVEN THE COMPETITION SOMEWHAT AND SHORTEN THE GAME TIMES...WHICH ALLOW FOR GAMES TO BE SOMEWHAT ON TIME...ESPECIALLY WITH BIG TOURNEYS LIKE RENO AND PHOENIX.....IF THEY ALLOWED OPEN INNINGS ALL THE TIME THE GAMES WUD BE 2-3 INNINGS ESPECIALLY IN THE UPPER DIVISIONS...AS THEY WERE IN THE 70'S....JERRYS AND HOWARDS USED TO PLAY WITH SCORES 60-55...AS AN UMPIRE IN THOSE DAYS THOSE GAMES REALLY SUCKED TO CALL!!! AND 2 HOURS LONG....WE HAVE A FEW DISSENTERS HERE ON THIS SIGHT COMPLAINING ABOUT OUR GAME TODAY BUT THEY ARE DEFINITELY THE MINORITY OF US THAT PLAY THE TOURNEYS REGULARLY....!!! DOKER |
| June 21, 2011 doker | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Just what is the call? BAT ELEVEN MUST END WITH ELEVEN...12-12.....13-13..INJURY IS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF A FORFEIT |
| June 21, 2011 doker | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Just what is the call? IF HE WAS EJECTED FROM THE GAME...I BELIEVE IT IS A FORFEIT...AS THERE WERE NO SUBS TO TAKE HIS PLACE IN THE BATTING ORDER.......DOKER |
| June 21, 2011 doker | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Another what's the right call? WHITE BAG ONLY..........SAFE |
| June 21, 2011 doker | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Just what is the call? IN SSUSA YOU CAN ONLY BE OUT ONCE DUE TO AN INJURY WHEN YOU ARE BATTING....THE SCENARIO THAT WAS PUT FORTH WASN'T REAL CLEAR WHETHER THE PLAYER PLAYED ON IN THE GAME....ALSO IF HE CUD NOT CONTINUE HIS TIME AT BAT HE WUD BE CALLED OUT...WHICH IS THE ONE TIME.....IF HE CONTINUED IN THE GAME AS AN INELIGBLE PLAYER THE OPPOSING TEAM THEN CUD PROTEST AT THE TIME HE BATS AGAIN AND IF HE WASN'T ON THE OFFICIAL LINEUP CARD GIVEN TO THE UMP BEFORE THE GAME THEN AN OUT CUD BE GIVEN IF A PITCH HAD BEEN MADE BEFORE THE DISCOVERY.............DOKER |
| June 21, 2011 doker | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Just what is the call? Doker here!!! here's my interpretation on this one....if the injured player cannot continue and there is no sub then he is out!!!!..the next time he comes up there can be no out as he was already out the first time.......this is in the rule book for ssusa.....and since the other team didn't notice he wasn't on the scorecard....no harm no foul....they just continue to play with the ten men left!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| June 7, 2011 doker | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Old Spice Presents: You make the call, Part 574 NOW THAT WUD BE A TOUGH ONE TO CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..I believe it wud be runner interference and the closest runner to home wud be called out....also the runner committing the interference shud be called out.....The catcher obviously was unaware the runner had missed the plate so he was trying to tag the incoming runner......and the first runner must have hit the catcher hard enough to jar the ball loose thus the interference from behind the catcher...possible judgement call on the second runner by umpire if he thought the 1st interfered with the catcher enough to prevent the 2nd runner from being out.... |
