| March 28, 2018 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need advice Borg; Softball Bat Club had Miken make 1,000 NEW Red Mikens for their exclusive distribution. Got 1 for a friend & it's still in plastic so don't know how it performs but it's a sweet looking dark metallic red . . . |
| March 28, 2018 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Need advice Bats Unlimited still has some 27 & 28 red Mikens for sale. |
| March 23, 2018 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Ball Maybe the boat turned around and went back to China to avoid the new tariffs . . . |

| Feb. 13, 2018 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats ET - don't know which 52/300 you're using but in the 5 years we've been using them in our Senior leagues Home Runs have become almost non-existent except for a few in the Fall leagues when it gets below about 60 degrees. Best guess is they're about 15% shorter carry in the air than a 44/375 ball. |
| Feb. 12, 2018 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats A very large number of teams wouldn't travel to a tournament that used the 52/300 ball. They would choose to play in any other association that used a 44/375 ball. This isn't a guess; just look at how many teams have complained about the 44/375 Stote ball because it wasn't good enough and it's still better than any 52/300 ball. |
| Jan. 11, 2018 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Drum Roll...the Starting Count decision results. For the record, no one in any of our local leagues, where we've used the 1 - 1 count for the last 30 or so years, has Ever even once suggested, requested, complained or otherwise asked to change to the 0 - 0 count. Probably not just a coincidence. |
| Dec. 19, 2017 DCPete | Topic: Bats Discussion: Single wall What about the Easton Ronin alloy bat, anyone swung that one? |
| Dec. 17, 2017 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: survey Oz, the team that loses a 5 or 6-inning game ALWAYS wishes that they had the chance to play the full 7 innings the way the sport was always intended to be. And NOBODY goes to a tournament hoping they get to play less innings or have fewer At Bats. If that was the case they could just stay home. Now get back on your yellow brick road & stay there. |
| Dec. 15, 2017 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: survey Thanks Dave; figured you would say that but it is a fair point |
| Dec. 14, 2017 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: survey Why not let teams play 1-1 in Any division whenever both managers agree to it rather than being forced to play with rules neither team wants? |
| Dec. 12, 2017 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Steve McKinlay Surf; how come you received notification, are you a parole officer? |

| Nov. 23, 2017 DCPete | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1 and 1 count Genwa; there can be no study, actual or otherwise, that could prove that 6 pitches will be "consumed" more quickly than 4 or 5 pitches. Plus many batters are swinging at the 1st strike in the 1-1 count to avoid being in a 2-strike hole vs many hitters taking at least 1 strike in the 0-0 count because they can. Anyone that's played both knows this is true. |
| Nov. 23, 2017 DCPete | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1 and 1 count Come on now, it's simple math & numbers can't lie. With the 0 - 0 count the maximum pitches per an At Bat is SIX. With 1 - 1 the maximum is FIVE pitches with a courtesy foul or FOUR pitches without a courtesy foul. Even in the era of Fake News 4 or 5 is still less than 6 . . . |

| Oct. 5, 2017 DCPete | Topic: Bats Discussion: NEW ! Worth Wicked Senior bat How does this bat compare to the original Ultra 2 red Maxload? |
| Sept. 28, 2017 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: change tie breakers.. lets hear your thoughts Wow, guess there's no limit on bad sportsmanship. Batter should have told Manager to go jump in the lake or maybe tell his Manager to go pinch-hit himself if he wants an intentional strike out. Too bad the ump didn't make them Flip-Flop anyway . . . |
| Sept. 28, 2017 DCPete | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: change tie breakers.. lets hear your thoughts Actually it doesn't make any sense. You can't "run up the score" when you're only allowed to score 5 runs per inning. And the only teams that can truly run up the score in the Open inning are the M+ teams & they are now automatically the Home team whenever they play a non-M+ team so they still can't run up the score. Coop you were right the 1st time; a team that wins both their games by a score of 20 - 10 will have a worse seed than a team that wins their 2 games each by a score of 10 - 9 so yeah the current system doesn't make sense. |
| Sept. 26, 2017 DCPete | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Bad experience for a Class Tournament - Worlds The irony here is that everyone gets excited & expects an Out to be called whenever a runner touches the wrong plate so why is there a difference with this play? |
