Discussion: Batter out of the box

so lets take away a pitcher can pitch if the batter can't hit it......ya want the height lower,ya want to be able to run out to the mound to hit it,are there any rules that a batter should follow.......batters have rocket launchers in there hands quit bitching,so many damn babies out there......

Discussion: ow to appeal a call

so your saying the runner left before the pitcher pitched the ball.....to me that is ump call and not a pitcher appeal....and if he was pitching how did he see it.....

Discussion: Pitchers mask

when i pitched i used a baseball coaches helmet (wear the helmet backwards like a catcher) in conjunction with a rip-it/champ-pro style face-mask.....i also have seen the softball batter's helmets with cages on with also a catchers throat guard .....both have great vision......

Discussion: You make the call

big question......if you have players who have not entered the game....why can't they be subed in before they go to the field and be that runner when they come back into bat if they are in the runners spot in the lineup.....

Discussion: ssusa rule 7.6

i look at it this way....if the ball makes it to a infielder and a play can be made or into the outfield he has swung enough.....what about the guy who takes the hr swing and tops it and it bounces way up and is able to beat it out easily.....

Discussion: Pitchers Face Mask

i used the rip-it face mask with a batters helmet and wear it like a catcher .....(hey only time ya get to wear a hat backwards...LOL)....have real good vision and protects the top of the head when using just a fielder mask..

Discussion: Clear plastic facemasks

i used a ripit or champro adult fielding mask along with the base coaches/catchers helmet.....wear the helmet like catchers do(protects top and side)with the mask.....the metal masks have much greater view than any of the others to me....

Discussion: Dudley ZN 52/300 ball

what problem with senior bats with this ball.....aren't they the hottest bats around...by the way senior bats are just bats that are made at the old ASA constraints.....we have been playing with the 52 ball for at least 5 yrs now in both our open and senior league's....the hr hitters still hit their hr's....so what is the problem....oh they don't go 400' ...oh well....fences are basically 300'.....we use the tattoo ball....

Discussion: Batter's Box

i'm with wayne on this.....batters put your feet inside the box before the pitcher pitches....no where do i see where your foot can be outside the box before the pitcher can throw a pitch....rule very clear...."ON OR INSIDE THE BOX COMPLETELY" my complaint is that umps will look at the pitcher like he is crazy when they ask for the batter to get in the box....they say just pitch the ball....

Discussion: Does the run count?

yep dave .... that is a good one also...caught a team doing that and as i requested the ball(i was the pitcher) as they thought they scored the winning run...went to first with the ump just smiling at me and got the out.....guess what we scored a few in the extra and won....always run every thing out.....
