| June 25, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The knee.....still and again Coming from a guy with two knee replacements....Don't give up!!! It still is a lot of fun especially without the pain. You may need to adapt some but you have been doing that your whole life to some degree. |
| June 16, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Option to withdraw???? I know that TDs have a tough job, but sometimes it is a little ridiculous that we start a game with old softballs after a $500 entry fee. |
| June 16, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Option to withdraw???? It is amazing to me that we put up with some of the "stuff" in tournaments considering the entry fees that we pay. Poor quality balls(I almost hate to say that), umpires that act bored that they are there, rediculous time schedules,etc. I know that putting on tournaments can be trying but some consideration should go to the consumer. Bruce...you're comments about having no one to play should be a "no brainer" as far as getting your money back. |
| June 12, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Pitching Arc Limits I think that alot of umpires have a certain amount of difficulty betweeen 5'6" and 6" as would all of us I assume. It is the batter's job to deal with every umpires version of the strike zone. We all hope that the umpire will at least be consistant. I think that some of the problems lie with the fact that many of us are way more committed to the game than alot of umpires....I still think that most of them are trying to do the best that they can....Just my two cents... |
| June 12, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Pitching Rules So...If the umpire allows it is legal at least for that game. |
| June 12, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Pitching Rules Is the pitcher allowed to use any technique that a particular umpire allows for in a given game? |
| June 6, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: xReno 2011 50, 55s Answers to the above fillin the blank:Jackass, coward, turd, etc. |
| June 6, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: xReno 2011 50, 55s OOOHHH....I can not tell you how upset it makes me to have someone tell me that if I just throw the ball so that the hitter can pound it I won't get hurt!!!!!! I thought that softball is a competitive game and the purpose was to beat the other team.(It kind of makes the game fun for everyone!!)My comment to anyone who wants to hurt someone is that you are ....................Just fill in the blank!!!! |
| March 12, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Which Is Tougher? I think that there is another factor in making playing IF in softball tougher. There will be many more balls hit on the sweet spot in slowpitch than in baseball. |
| March 12, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Website comments Discussion: pitching screen I would bet that most pitchers get hit in BP. I think that most players would not like to use a screen but I would not be opposed to any pitcher electing to use one. |
| Feb. 7, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOC Thanks Harry......I too wish that you were here...AS hard as that is for me to say!!!!Also...Best of luck to you ..Bruce...Stay away from the middle and tell you're BIG catcher that we can still be friends!!!! |
| Jan. 27, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others? Bruce.....Your team is playing in the TOC...right? |
| Jan. 27, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: snow and the TOC Ross...Don't be nice to Mr. Happy...It doesn't help. |
| Jan. 27, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Associations Discussion: Ratings Mario...How many teams do you know that score 5 runs an inning every inning. I would say that the higher rated teams probably score more runs than the lower rated teams. Also It is more difficult to score runs by getting 15 hits than a few homeruns. |
| Jan. 27, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others? I do agree that the catcher's position might be rated 10 out of ten in it's defensive responcibilty rating but I have seen many teams just prop somebody up back there and get hurt later in the game when there is a play at the plate that can determine who wins. Bruce ...Aren't you suppose to be working????? |
| Jan. 27, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others? You can break any game down to it's simplest form. All games are simple. Golf is a simple game...just difficult to master.....What is your point?? |
| Jan. 26, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: Bats Discussion: Looking to buy MM Combats or the gary anancoda senior bat Bruce...anytime..We always have room for you. |
| Jan. 26, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Are some Positions more important than others? I thnk that any position can be played at a high level. I too feel that a good team is tough up the middle...And as in any game, there are people that play it at a higher level than others. Your(Gary) reference to the game being one that morons can play is somewhat offensive. |
| Jan. 6, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Half Century Tourney I am in the 60s...Finally I have arrived!!!!I will be in the Orlando area the week before the TOC...Would be interested in some BP If anyone is interested. |
| Jan. 4, 2011 Mr. Manassas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Half Century Tourney Thanks for the input guys...I appreciate it.....Even you Birdie(grumpy one)...Ross, I am playing with Joe Bs also. |
