| June 20, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Pa/NJ team looking for a SS/Middle inf for 50 major We are a 50 major team out of Pa/NJ and have had a couple injuries. We are currently looking for a player who is versatile to play either ss, middle or both. Our current ss can flip to middle or stay at ss to accomodate. If interested please reach out to our manager Tim 609-820-1597. We have about 5 tournaments left this season. Thanks for your interest. |
| May 28, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championship Compliment and Criticism In my opinion the black stitch balls have better exit velo through the infield, better distance by around 30 feet, and the red stitches protrude out of the ball more making it more restrictive when hit. The baden fires are synthetic which seemed to show less performance after the 3rd inning compared to the black stitch balls. I won't say we lost because of the balls but I will say the red stitch balls definitely give the hitters a worse experience in travel velocity when struck. |
| May 20, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championship Compliment and Criticism Tim thanks for responding to my above post. I know we can't re-change this past weekends results so Thank you for saying going forward that teams who do have them can't use them. This will make it fair and cut down on the complaining from teams going forward. Thanks again. |
| May 20, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Atlantic Coast Championship Compliment and Criticism This post is both a compliment and a criticism on this past weekend at the Atlantic Coast Championships. I first want to say thank you to Tim Mcelroy for the way he handled the moving up and the moving back of the games due to the suspected weather conditions. The forecast was not good but he managed the schedule in a way that we were able to complete this tournament. It's a difficult thing to do. Also a compliment for a well run tournament because the competition was good and the fields and complex were second to none. My one criticism for the tournament and this is based on the teams that were affected by this in the tournament was the use of two different balls that were being used in games. When we checked in on Friday we were being sold the red laced Baden Balls 44/375 compression but I believe was a synthetic covering. These balls hit ok except when the day became more humid they became more restricted on distance. On Saturday there were teams swinging the black stitch balls which many teams who were on the receiving end complained because these balls had a better exit velocity through the infield ( 10 mph better than red stitched based on teams opinions) and better distance up to about 25-30 feet more than the red stitched baden balls. My team didn't see this first hand until sunday morning when these were used against us around the 3rd inning in a tight game. And yes we noticed the advantage the other team swinging these received. Some my criticism is that if we are to be swinging the baden fire ball red stitching then don't allow teams to use a different ball unless you allow both teams to agree on it or allow both teams to hit the same ball in the game. I went up to the tent to try and purchase the black stitched balls and was told they weren't selling them. So where they came from who knows but going forward in ssusa tournaments this should be either agreed upon on, sold to everyone or don't allow teams to use them. By the way my team will play in it next year. Thanks and I am sure other teams may have a different opinion. Thank you. |

| Jan. 7, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New rule on shaved bats Casey39 I kind of like your thinking on this. But if the bat is found to be legal then pay the player $400 because the the team lost their appeal plus the player loses his bat and has to buy a new one.If its illegal then suspend the player! |
| Jan. 6, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings bump and then after back down again Dave thanks for the explanation. Makes sense. Thanks again and happy new year. |
| Jan. 6, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southern Championship Dalton, Ga in March Thank you for the feedback. Looking forward to it |
| Jan. 5, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southern Championship Dalton, Ga in March Just a genral question to the teams out there. We are looking to attend the Southern Championship in Dalton in March 50 major division. We looked at last years tournament which was held in August which only had 1 major team. Are we anticipating more major teams at this event this year due to the event date change? Just curious because of the distance we are traveling. Thanks for any feed back. |
| Jan. 5, 2024 Johndoc#7 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings bump and then after back down again I have a question for Dave. In OCT-NOV after worlds teams received a bump in rating. If you look at the ratings today they wentback to their original rating before worlds. Maybe you can explain the rational or the criteria behind it. Just curious. Thanks. |
