| Nov. 17, 2009 Stripersonline | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Ft.Myers I KNOW it was not a bat owned by our team! And its impossible to say who left it behind because OTHER age groups used the same field! I'm not accusing ANY team! But I know I don't even own a Ultra 2 and never have. I'm sure the bat was laft behind by accident. Again, NO ONE on fredericks owned that bat! And I know it wasn't any of the Gekle guys too. |
| Nov. 17, 2009 Stripersonline | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Ft.Myers First off, Congrats to Frederick/Turkey Hill on winning to 50 Major+ Bracket. It was a TOTAL team effort! Now for the second issue. This is a MAJOR issue. I played for Fredericks and I found something very disturbing. Before the championship game I found a cracked Ultra 2 leaning against the dugout fence. I wont say whose bat it was, other then I know it was from another team. Well, I brought it home and hit BP with it last nite until it broke completly in half, only to find that it was SHAVED! I was a machinist for 19 years and you could see the tooling marks from the lathe and the ridge where the tooling stopped! Unbelievable! Shaving Ultra 2's is insane! I just hope whose ever bat it was, they don't do it again and hurt someone!. |
| Aug. 11, 2009 Stripersonline | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Raleigh Tournament Congrats to a VERY tough Morgan Keegan Team out of Fla. They won the 50 major bracket by beating Fredericks Chevrolet/Turkey Hill team, which is a Major Plus team from Pa. |
| July 1, 2009 Stripersonline | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Crabtown Classic It is a difficult situation. Triple A teams playing against Major plus teams. I play Major Plus for Fredericks, and to honest, there's not that many tournaments for us to play in that have a good number of teams at our level. I think a better equalizer would be the "1 up" Hr rule. We played that earlier in York, Pa and it seemed to work just fine. Again, I'm new to this senior softball, and the biggest problem I see are all the different rule inconsistancies. I'm 50, so I've only played in 3 or 4 tournaments so far and at times I have a hard time following the rules because they change so much throughout a single tournament. This needs to change! Tournament directors and umpires ALL need to get on the same page. #20 |
| June 30, 2009 Stripersonline | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Crabtown Classic I agree, the protection for pitchers rule has some clarification issues. The umpires, players and coaches all seem to have their own ideas of how the rule works. Everyone needs to get on the same page. There are two easy ways to fix this problem. But no one would ever agree to either. The first would be to get rid of the "senior" bats and use "u-trip" stardards bats and second would be to use a pitching screen. |
| June 29, 2009 Stripersonline | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Crabtown Classic The 50+ Major bracket was won by Frederick Chevrolet. They fought their way back through the loser's bracket to "double dip" a tough IMS Dogs team. The only complaint of the tournament was with the inconsistancy of the rules as far time limits and the free run rules. other then that, everything ran smoothly. Oh, except for a 35 minute sun delay on saturday after noon. |
