Discussion: Any rules about location of safety screen?

This is our rule:
For their safety, it is recommended that all pitchers use the pitching screen. The pitchers screen is for pitcher protection. The edge of the screen shall be placed no more than 12 inches from the edge of the pitching rubber. A batted ball hitting the screen will be treated as any foul ball.

Discussion: Rotator Cuff Advice

Right arm pain since last July 7 games in Dalton. MRI in Mid Dec. Official results: partial thickness tearing involving the supraspinstus, infraspinatus and subscapularis tendons (3 of the 4 rotator cuff tendons). prominent biceps tendinopathy (chronic tendonitis with scarring) without tearing.
Had arm physical therapy. 1st steroid shot lasted 10 days. Last week shot lasted 6 days. Blue pills no help. Dr has me on lite exercise with hopes steroid shot & exercise will ease pain with operation final choice. I am 69 yrs old outfielder & don't need sling shot arm. Want to play into 80's. Do I keep exercising & hoping pain will subside to livable, or get operation??
Thanks

Discussion: 60+AAA tournaments in July

If you look at the SPA tournaments web page you can see the Watermelon Classic in Richmond, VA is same weekend as Tri-City Classic. I heard on my grapevine that there were 10 60+ teams signed up for Richmond. You could send the TD Scott Southworth an email for more info.

Discussion: To screen or not to screen...

We have been using the screen for two years in Charlottesville twice a week for games and have yet to have an issue over the screen getting in the way or causing a controversy. It has not stopped anyone from having fun. When you hit the ball & hit the screen,its a dead ball. Larry

Discussion: What Rule covers runner returning to 2nd to avoid tag?

What actually happened in the pickup game was when the runner going to 3rd stopped & reversed direction to avoid being tagged, the shortstop yelled "out", he reversed directions. What print rule covers this?

Discussion: What Rule covers runner returning to 2nd to avoid tag?

the 3rd baseman doesn't step on 3rd, he starts running the runner back to 2nd. Does he have to run him all the way back before runner out?

Discussion: What Rule covers runner returning to 2nd to avoid tag?

If runners are on 1st & 2nd base, grounder to 3rd baseman & 2nd base runner retreats back to 2nd to avoid tag. What rule covers him returning to 2nd? Is he out as soon as he reverses direction??

Discussion: sore quads

When I first started senior softball at 59, I thought part of the spring ritual was to pull my quads. After 2 years of this I found a stretch exercise that REALLY WORKS. Grab hold of a stationary object to balance with one hand, use the opposite hand to grasp the leg around the ankle and lift it towards your buttocks. Do this for at least :30 sec occasionally pulling your ankle extra hard. You will feel your quad stretch. Try to do each leg 4-5 times after you get to the field. I have never had a quad pull since I started doing this exercise & have had others tell me it really works. Larry VA.

Discussion: Ultra II break in period?

The bat advice I follow is by Anthony Kelly at www.kellysultimatesports.com. He says DO NOT use it for batting practice. Ready to go right out of the wrapper & no break in. I use it in all SPA games & agree. Larry in VA.

Discussion: Any ASA rule regarding defensive player kicking the ball?

Is there any ASA rule regarding a defensive infielder stopping a ball with his foot that was thrown back into the infield after a hit? In a local game the runner stated he should be awarded second base because the infielder kicked the ball ?? Thanks

Discussion: what ASA Rule would apply?

What ASA rule would apply if batter after hitting ball thru to fence, while rounding first base inadvertently comes in contact with first baseman? First baseman was not involved trying to catch ball nor impede runner. Should runner be allowed second or even third? Thanks Larry

Discussion: What is the correct call?

look at ASA official rules in 2007 book page 154, rule 44 A. The ball remains live, or becomes immediately dead, depending on the closest defensive player. When the closest defensive player is in front of the base that the runner is in contact with, the ball remains live. However, when the closest defensive player is behind the base, the ball is dead. Should the ball be ruled dead and the batter awarded a base hit, only runners forced to advance because the batter was placed on first base shall advance one base.
