That Bama guy is bad-ass. Any dude who is 5'2" and hits bombs like he does is bad-ass. Can't wait to hit with that guy.

Discussion: Batter Box Rule

Here is my experience with the new batter's box rule as an umpire and a player. The rule is fair. Most hitters are only called out when they walk up to hit the short pitch that is usually a ball anyway.

I will say in my experiences this season that the better umpires call batters out when their back foot is in front of the mat, and the mediocre umpires can't watch multiple things so batter's aren't called out.

If you like to be in the front of the box, place your back foot even with the front of the rubber and don't move your back foot and you will never get called out. Simple.

Discussion: Wounded Warrior vs Sin City All Stars game last weekend

Just wanted to take a moment to thank SSUSA staff Terry, Dave, Tim and Fran for scheduling and hosting the Wounded Warriors vs Sin City All Stars game last Saturday. It was an honor and a privelege to represent and pitch for the Wounded Warriors. The Warriors were impressive in their win. Thank you Warrior coach David Van Sleet for the invite.

I'm sure there were many others, including the umpires who helped make the game a success and deserve a thank you. Thank you to the Warriors for their service, and again to SSUSA for recognizing the Wounded Warriors by hosting the game.

McDilly 42. I can help you on this one. Dave's rule of thumb is that every team should be ready to play at 8AM on Thursday. Or wait until the brackets are posted.

Good luck

Best custom glove for the price. Llerandi Japanese Kip leather is as good or better than any big name glove.

Discussion: Dumb Question

The Spinner balls are a little lighter, therefore less likely to damage your bats. The ball still carrys and performs similar to game balls.

Best ball for BP.

The biggest difference between Major Plus vs Major is defense. Major Plus players make more plays, and turn more double plays.

Diesel Dan. You don't take BP 4 times a week fielding grounders and fly balls? You need to move near me. Ha!

Recently I sold a couple of Llerandi gloves to a customer. When they arrived he said he was disappointed on how stiff the Kip leather was. I explained to the gentleman that any GOOD quality leather glove comes stiff and takes time to work in. The stiffness and quality is what keeps the glove worthy of using it for several years.

I encourage anyone who is thinking of replacing their glove with a good quality leather that you give yourself ample time for the glove to break in. Everyone has their own method such as oil, shaving crème, the oven, the car dash in Arizona in the summer, running it over with your car, turning it inside out, or beating it with a mallet daily. Whatever your choice is, good quality leather softball or baseball gloves take time, and several hours of playing catch. I use Lexol on my gloves. There are also several videos on you tube explaining how to break in a glove.

That's why I am always telling people buy your glove now for next season and use it during BP.

Lou Llerandi will always back his product and coming from me a guy who has used a baseball or softball glove since the age of 6 years old, Llerandi gloves are an exceptional product.

Just throwing this out there if anyone is thinking of replacing their old worn out glove, and that it takes time.

Thanks
Benji

Yes we can make you a custom lefthanded 15" glove. Because it's 15" we need to charge a small fee of $30 dollars more, because factory needs to make up a new pattern.

Please call Lou at 404 401-2794 and he will walk you through the process. I already spoke to Lou. Just tell him Benji referred you.

Thanks
