| Jan. 22, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Significant Rule Changes for SSUSA 2008 Season! PETE D & OTHERS: QUESTION?? Why or better what have we, the Major Plus players, DONE?? to get our just dessert!!!!!! 1) Stolen too many Home Run Balls? 2) Cried or whine too much? 3) Taken too long & or caused to many Tournements to run far behind? 4) Made Umps unhappy about the longer than 60 mimute games? After all, these umps r paid only $20 to $24 / game & want more money....... etc....? 5) SS-USA.........., ONLY THEY KNOW..... The STONE DWG..... |
| Jan. 20, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Rule proposed rule changes HTG: How many Umps, have the guts to toss a player 4 hit' the middle? I was in Carson City last yr, & saw several players hit the middle 10 or more times in a row..... NO WARNing........... As a rule, yes, it will suck! This past wkend, was the 1st time that I saw a Senior Tournament, inwhich, a Pitching Screen was used. Saturday & Sunday, the 2:00 pm & 3:30 pm games, (the N.E. field) a Pitch' Screen was used. This was a good idea, because the sun was right in the eyes of both pitchers. How many Umps, know the rule that states......"do to wind or sun..... the pitching height, can be lower"? As far as protective gear........ what will happen to pitchers when, pitchers r forced to wear all of their gear in 100 to 120 degrees?? Gear in hot or humid Cities? I do understand...... what next??? Why, NOT make the plate & mat smaller? Why, 17 inches to 19 inches? After all, if, safety is a "real" question..... does SS-USA, REALY believe that mak' the mat 2 inches wider, will help? Most pitchers that get hit, r hit when the ball is on the out side or corner of the plate & the batter has 2 strikes on them. What next??? Batters NOT allowed to Walk-the-Box????? It appears that this Sumitt, is nothing but a joke. Rules were pre-made!!!!!!! Good Luck.......... The STONEMAN.... |
| Jan. 20, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Rule proposed rule changes FRED: EGOS...... maybe, but, ASA, is directed toward Womens Fast Pitch. Is it players or ASA, that has the EGO? JUST MY FEEL'......... The STONEMAN.. |
| Jan. 20, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Rule proposed rule changes LEFTY: Question 4 u? Why, do Seniors have 4 Divisions?( AA, AAA, MAJORS, & MAJOR PLUS) Why, do we have 6 diff' age groups?( 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, & 80) The diff' divisions & age groups, were devised to allow more older men to play Softball. The 4 divisions, were to allow players that may NOT have a great deal of talen, find a level were these players could play. EXAMPLE: 50 M+ players, DO NOT want to play against 50, 55, or 60 AA or AAA players. 1 reason, safety..... The mound is 50'-6" to 56'-6" from Home Plate. That means that a Batted Ball will get to the 60' area, in less than .4 of a sec. Try NOT & blame pitchers....... What is SS-USA...... THINKING??????? I believe that it is time 4 seniors to call SS-USA or send E-MAILS......... to Terry & Fran... I hope that I never c pitchers in full body Armor... WOW .......The STONEMAN |
| Jan. 20, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Rule proposed rule changes HIT THE GAP: How about think' this out? 1) No matter which ball, a 50 cor, 47 cor, 44 cor, or even a 40 cor softball, will travel the 1st 60' to 70', in less than .4 of a sec. 2) At our present ages, most Seniors need .42 of a sec, to react to a ball. 3) Most Seniors & I am not 4) We r also, talk' about 1st & 3rd basemen, that play w/in that 75' area. HTG, how about u start pitching? Then tell me that those that do pitch, r whimps. I hope that u r just mad about this stupid rule. NO one needs to c another human hurt. LAST THOUGHT:::: Have any of u great big Senior studs, seen a man killed? How many of u studs, have seen a pitcher killed on the mound? Had there jaw broken? Had their teeth knocked out. As far as I am concerned, I never, want to c any, pitcher hit again. Any one out there, did u c Don C, hit & break Eistein's arm. This is why, I hope that Thump's New 53 cor ball w/ a 260 comp, is "the real deal". Good luck to all the PITCHERS, this yr. The STONEMAN |

| Jan. 17, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Interest level for an anything goes Senior tournament LECAK: How about us' U-trip / ISA bats? GET RIDE of ALL THOSE SENIOR BATS.... Balls? How about us' the new 53 cor balls that have a 260 comp? One needs to hit that ball & players will earn any Home Run that is hit..... Location... how many Seniors want to take off 1-2 days to play ball??? How many Seniors want to spend over $ 400 in plane tickets?? Spend $ 150-$ 300 for rooms??? Joe, many, many Senior pitchers, do NOT or can NOT c @ nite. Will hit' a pitcher @ nite be an out??? Will there be a Screen to protect pitchers dur' nite games?? hOW LONG OF REST BETWEEN GAMES. This would be great, if, one is play' in a HOT climate.... Will this take us back to a time when there was only 1 division??? I would like to c bring ur own balls & the other team can hit theirs or ur balls? 3 games in 1st day. 2 back to back w/ only a 1 hr rest between the 2 & 3 game.. No play' 1 game, rest 1-2 hrs, play ones 2nd game ; then a 1-3 hr rest before the 3rd game..... Time to hang NO-MO. The STONEMAN.... |

| Jan. 15, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Big League Dreams AFTON: Nice thought & it has been tired before. The PROBLEM..... we seniors do NOT drink or spend enough money in the concession.... The Field of Dreams Management, will let Seniors play on Friday, but, Sat' & Sunday r 4 the kids.. WHY? the kids, spend more money... Sorry, but, we do have to face these facts. Several well off persons, which includes Kenny, have tried very hard to get the Fields of Dreams to open up to seniors. But, it feel thru. The STONEMAN.... |
| Jan. 15, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LAS VEGAS SENIOR MASTER MODIFY DATES FOR 2008! BRUCE U GA. PEACH: I no longer belong to LVSSA. But, here r some facts. 1) Seniors r not well liked in Vegas 2) NSA, is relpac" ASA, in Vegas. 3) 2 yrs ago, NSA, (Marty) lost it's butt in Vegas 4 that World. Marty, does NOT give a crap about Seniors. NSA, will NOT give up their fields.This also, comes several NSA Vegas Umps... Politics or just to h..... w/ Seniors.. Maybe, some of u Seniors, can talk to Hugh. 4) Freedom & Lorinzi, will be down 4 2 yrs. 5) Desert Breeze, has been made into lil' brads baseball. The parents, will NOT give the fields up to Seniors. De.... to those Cal, sob busters that have moved to Vegas from Cal. The county commisioner, 4 that area, does NOT care about Seniors. THAT's the Vegas politics in actions. 6) There r just NOT enough fields, open @ that time of yr. 7) Do to the diff' kinds of grass, YES, grass, the 1st of Sept, is the time of yr that Clark County, reseeds their parks. 8) and a few more reason or childish actions.

| Jan. 8, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Why Composite Bats? THE ONE & ONLY BASH BROTHER: What u have stated is a well known fact in the field of Engineering. I have been hit' 2 End Loaded test bats that r Composite. These bats hit almost as good as the U-2. The only problem, after 6000 swings, hit' in cold, wet weather, these 2 bats have not broken. We have put 400 swings or so, on them, in 1 day. These Bat last too long. Bat Manufact' will not make their ton of money. The New Story..... this yr, balls maybe, made that will do 80% of the work. Look 4 the New 53 cor balls w/ a 260 comp. Great balls, that will fly, weather one uses a Composite, Double, or single wall Ball. Todays bats, do 80 % of the work. What I have posted, comes from several SGMA members. BEST FACTOR. These New Balls, have a impact of less than 160 ..... At 170 .... or greater, a human, will have serious head damage, if, one is hit in the head. Have a great yr....... The STONEMAN |
| Jan. 6, 2008 STONEMAN | Topic: Bats Discussion: Need some bat help ? DESERTPRIDE: Senior bats: 1) U-11. 2) Senior Combat. 3) DeMi' Juggernaut (Geezer). 4) MIZUNO-- has also, a Senior Bat. As far as balls?? What brand (Worth / Dudly / Decker)?? From what I have read, players that r not power hitters, should buy a Bat that has FLEX tech'. U can call Kelly's Ultimate Sports (Anthony) or Anaconda Sports (Kevin S.). These 2 men can help u pick out a good Bat. ASA BATS...... try 1) Combats Anti-Virus 2) Mizunos Wrath Good Luck......
