| Feb. 3, 2019 Jawood | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Recent Palm Springs Tournament - One & One Count with one to waste. Don't think we'll ever come to a consensus with the 1-1, 0-0 count debate. Obvious to some is not obvious to others and that's okay! I think it's probably best to play what we grew up with! |
| Sept. 30, 2018 Jawood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Assignment of fields for LVSSA/SSUSA World Championships Hate to think what the organization would be without Dave and Fran! Think about how much they do! |
| Sept. 29, 2018 Jawood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Assignment of fields for LVSSA/SSUSA World Championships Are there better complexes in Phoenix than in Las Vegas or just more of them? I remember playing in Phoenix years ago and do not remember playing on fields better than BLD or Arroyo Grande. Maybe some improvements have been made? |
| Sept. 10, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How do you like the 1 n 1 count? Senior Softball is such a stressful game! lol |
| Sept. 10, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How do you like the 1 n 1 count? Didn't think this subject would come up again? This season, 25 out of our 28 games that had the 1-1 count went 7 innings, 89%. 4 out of 20 that had the 0-0 count (other associations) went 7 innings, 20%. Last year 36% of our total games went 7 innings. Pretty obvious what it's doing! |
| July 31, 2018 Jawood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 50 Worlds in Vegas, Start day is no Thursday. Most players will not be able to make Thursday How can most 50/55 guys not have enough seniority not to be able to take an extra day off from work? We've known about this for a long time! Now these regional tournaments that start on Friday may be a different story! |
| July 18, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Jim Sherman Memorial in Salem The grounds crew did do a nice job! Turf those fields and they would have a great complex! |
| July 5, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Where is the new ball It is quite obvious that they are using up their old inventory. We purchased a couple dozen 2 months ago easily. |
| June 27, 2018 Jawood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: WORLDS AND NEW 4 DAY FORMAT Too much of a burden? Looks like your team is from New Mexico! Wow, I bet most teams would love to be only 8 hours away from where the world tournament is going to be held! Your guys can't get an extra day off of work? It's VEGAS ... go have some fun!! |
| June 16, 2018 Jawood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 4 DAYS NOW FOR VEGAS MASTERS? Four days in Vegas is a bad thing? Plan your vacation! 50,55,60+ can't get a couple of days off? |
| May 29, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 on defense I think it does decrease the middle shots some. With the 5 man infield the outfield gaps are wide open and a lot of balls go up the middle when trying to hit those gaps and miss hit it. With an 11 man defense, who knows where people would hit? |
| May 28, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 on defense I have been for the 11 man defense for a long time. Maybe people would stay out of the middle a bit? |
| May 23, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hip Replacement Do some research on HIP RESURFACING. It's a different type of procedure that allows people our age to be able to continue to play sports like softball, basketball, soccer, etc. Had one done in 2009 and the other in 2014. Not surprised that a hip replacement surgeon would say not to play softball any longer. |
| May 20, 2018 Jawood | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Field players using mitts instead of a gloves on defense. The bigger, the better! It's survival in the field with these bats! |
| May 5, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Get rid of the 1-1 count After the second tournament of the season, we have played 7 innings in 9 out of the 10 games. The one we didn't, there was an injury and the umpire may not have stopped the clock but whatever ... that's 90%. Last season we had a 36% 7 inning rate. Pretty simple. |
| April 11, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 1-1 count and new ball First tournament, five games played, five games went 7 innings! Used the old Trump ball, apparently the new ones still haven't arrived. |
| March 25, 2018 Jawood | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a team "with power?" A slight understatement! lol. |
| March 4, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Alan Tanner 60 and 70's on the March 4th? I'll take it. Actually I'll take it on April 4th, May 4th and June 4th! |
| Feb. 10, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Today's "super" bats These bats are not going to go away but the real need is doing something about the growing number of cheaters out there. It's like MLB ignoring the problem for a long time with steroids. SSUSA is ignoring this problem ... start testing! |
| Feb. 3, 2018 Jawood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Spot the Major + player Swing, all good points IMO but what really makes it difficult for good Major teams to compete with Major+ teams is the 2 players outside the borders that are allowed in the Major+ division. To be able to bring these type of players in takes money and usually the Major+ teams have more of it ... not always but on average. If this was eliminated, I think more Major teams would be willing to play up. |
