| Sept. 9, 2022 rtaven | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: runner interference Batted ball hit pitcher and rolled toward 2nd baseman,2nd baseman ran towards pitcher to field ball ,runner on first ran into 2nd baseman and knocked him over. Umpire says no call since they were both doing what they were suppose to do? By the way this happens every year a couple of times and runner has never been called out. |
| Sept. 8, 2022 rtaven | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: runner interference 8.7 page 52 says "a runner must make every effort to avoid collision with opposing player while running the bases" if they collides with fielder I always thought he was out but does not say so? Thank's |

| Aug. 5, 2022 rtaven | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Legal pitch Thank's, I actually had found the rule book pitch underhand.Webster's underhand "below shoulder" trying to clarify that hand and ball can be about 2' from hip. Thank's |
| Aug. 5, 2022 rtaven | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Legal pitch Is there any pitch other than 90 degree or straight up and down legal, such as about 18 inches off hip? Could I have searched for this answer on this site and how? Thanks |

| Sept. 8, 2018 rtaven | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Burlington nc tournament this weekend Thanks for the help. I had some friends who said they were playing there and I could find no information. I did finally find the one you displayed and after much searching actually found a web site. showed no future tournaments and I can see why. Thanks again. Bob T |
| Sept. 3, 2018 rtaven | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Burlington nc tournament this weekend Thanks, I found that but where do you go to see what tournaments they are having? Everything I see says asa and usa senior ball is the same. |

| June 29, 2018 rtaven | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Terminology Only the top 10% of umpires understand what 6' is. I personally can not throw a pitch under 6' from 6' behind rubber without fast pitch motion. I have tried and thought was under 6' but after reviewing film realized it was over 6'. Set camera half way between pitcher and home at side angle and put something 6' high such as a camera tripod or use fence rail a lot of rails are at 6'on other side. you will be surprised at how hard it is to throw under 6". |

| March 30, 2018 rtaven | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: runner scoring If a play at first was eventually made before batter runner is in dugout or batter runner reaches first would this rule still stand? |
| Jan. 24, 2018 rtaven | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 1 and 1 with courtesy foul new rule for younger guys This will lead to much higher scoring games for several reasons. If you can make a higher scoring game shorter, then they know something I don't. This has really slanted the advantage to the hitter.The 1 and 1 no courtesy helps the average and below average hitters tremendously but most hitters don't realize it. I hope it works. The only thing I know that will shorten the game is less runs per inning, 2 outs per inning or additional fielders. |
| Dec. 18, 2017 rtaven | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: survey As a pitcher I feel the biggest delay of games are errors. ha ha. I feel I have advantage in full count games over any other for various reasons which I will not disclose. |
| Nov. 11, 2015 rtaven | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: knee replacement Mr. Manassas I saw you running in Ft Myer last week and was suprised at how well you ran after watching you try to run after knee replacement for years. What changed? need advise as I'm struggling in rehab for several years now. I will be going back to see my surgeon this month and need game plan. |
| Aug. 20, 2015 rtaven | Topic: Bats Discussion: miken black senior bat- balanced vs endload alan -mike or other Alan, you say the handle and knob are diifferent,how so? I looked at one on line and close up and could see no real difference. I use a overlap grip with a knob cuff, will this effect how it feels to a ultra 2 or others for that matter? thanks Bob |
| Aug. 20, 2015 rtaven | Topic: Bats Discussion: miken black senior bat- balanced vs endload alan -mike or other Has anyone hit the balanced? How does the balanced compare to endload? Does this bat really out perform the origanal ultra 2 not considering endurance? |

| Dec. 21, 2014 rtaven | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: worlds masters vegas 2014 the only reason i asked was the tournament was in oct.2014 and there rating was dec 5 2014 after toc and looks like they were rerated to major and not major+.the toc's are over for 2014 so i still must be missing something. i read all the posts.will there rating be changed again after end of year or will they remain major? thanks |
