| Dec. 19, 2008 Brit | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: rule changes If it were this simple: - Pitcher has the option to wear protective equipment - Every ball hit out after maximum is a single - if you decide to hit the midlle, they'll hit the middle too The pitcher should "want" to play defense too. If he/she chooses against the "requirement" to play defense then you move to another position. No, I'm not a pitcher. That is a talent I've not tried to acquire to date. Maybe someday... |
| Nov. 21, 2008 Brit | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Inoxicated player A couple of drinks after the game/tournament is one thing. Maybe a drink if there's couple hour delay/wait between games. To arrive intoxicated before a game? What are we, 21 again? To think someone 50 or older lacks self control, respect for his team, his teamates, or his sponsor that he/she arrives intoxicated is just plain stupid. |
| Oct. 13, 2008 Brit | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: explain the various skill levels... Dave, Armiho 211, Thanks for the info and advise to check out the tourney next weekend. I'm may be in California that weekend. If not, I will be at the parks. Brit |
| Oct. 11, 2008 Brit | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: explain the various skill levels... I'm curious. Have any of your teams played against the younger guys in their leagues/tournaments (USSSA "E", "D")? I've played against it in a couple world qualifying tournments as well as the USSSA "E" worlds. Honestly, guys our age (50) are every bit as good as they are, often times much, much better. Brit |

| Oct. 10, 2008 Brit | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: explain the various skill levels... I'm a recent transfer from Ann Arbor, MI to Phoenix, AZ. Would someone help me out by explaining the 50+ skill levels (AA, AAA, Major, Major-Plus)? I played class E @ 2nd base the last few years, our team came in 18th @ the USSSA worlds in Orlando, 2007. I am above average for the "E" level and would be a good "D" player. I won't turn 50 until next month and haven't totally given up on playing with the younger guys as I'm very competitive...just curious as to how competitive the levels are. Thanks, Brit |
