New Rules
Wow, I see that Men's and Women's 40's will play with a 1-1 count with NO fouls to waste. My question is, what was the reasoning behind the no foul to waste rule?

Understood. But I can find no one except pitchers that want no foul to waste. That's how they play it in Bullhead City, and it sucks.

Since the parks here play Utrip, I know that even they eliminated the extra foul a couple of years ago.

Hey Dave,
NSA went from 4 ball 3 strike to 1-1 and fair only after 2 strikes a couple years back as well. Speeds up the game but cannot say I'm a big fan.

I like a full count better than 1-1.
However I hit the first pitch that is in any of my zones.
The problem for me with 1-1 is a low pitch that hits the front of the plate, then I have to protect the plate.
I like to unload on the ball and with 2 strikes that is difficult to do sometimes when protecting the plate.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's still underhand right ? Love 1-1 as a pitcher .... if this is such a problem play 5 man infield and 4 man outfield and just hit it off a T........ let's speed the game up lot of money for 5 inning games
