That's a great question Bronx Bomber Guy, posted Jan 27 and never came back to answer any questions. Must be a no go.

What is the purpose of having a screen if it's not required to be behind it on batter contact?

Discussion: player ratings

Sometimes the Team Rating is very tough on an individual player. In 2021, very early in the season, I was tagging along with buds on a 70 Major team, totally as the last extra guy or a pinch runner if needed. I think I pinch ran twice, and had a total of 3 at bats. That was my contribution to the team. Manager (friend) passed away, new management, I was out. The rating of 70 Major is way above my skill level, I'm a 79 year old and rated 70 Major! I can play 80's... I've been unable to land on a team I'm qualified to play on, no tourneys since early 2021, hoping I can get this Team Rating off my back after sitting out for 2 seasons. 78 and 79 are NOT the years you want to sit not playing. There aren't that many years to waste.
As teams called Sacramento to add me to their roster, they found out my current rating. Rules are the rules, I'll live with them, but don't have to like them.

Dan, your best bet may be to hit at Cheyenne Park and drive East to play. It's not real close, but it may be your best option. Good luck in the tourney.

Discussion: Question about where player is rated...

Excuse Me!
Question should have been, "What is the correct player rating index for two situations." Couldn't locate in the rulebook!
"Rating experience history" transforms into a grade by which players are actually graded as to which teams they can play on. I understand that. But, looking for a rule to cover the "one and done" guy who perhaps hasn't even played in 2 years. Would one shot as a pick up classify him as his experience history would have nothing else to compare to? Thank you, have a great Sunday.

Discussion: Question about where player is rated...

Due to Covid-19 and a variety of injuries, a 70 Major team is allowed by Sacramento to pick up a 70AAA player for the Worlds in Vegas. After the Worlds, is that player a Major player based on the last team he played for?
Other side of the coin. Same 70's Major situation, picks up a Major+ player. Is that player a Major player after the Worlds?

"It's true some fields are not great. That's not a SSUSA thing. That's a Las Vegas City/lack of $$$ thing. You can't polish a turd."

I have felt the same as you Jon, yet the organization that did field prep the past few years has been blasted on here for field condition. I never felt it was right or justified, that's why I asked how everyone enjoyed the field conditions this year. Sure would like those that were unhappy in the past to voice their opinion and compare to this years.

Curious, the past organization that was responsible for field conditions @ the SW's got blasted on here for lack of job they did. How did the new organization do in field prep at each complex? Everyone happy with their field conditions?

Discussion: Intentional walk used to nulify a dominate hitter.

Our league made that simple, no batter walks. If the batter gets 4 balls, "put a runner on." Count goes back to 1-1. Can't pitch around a batter.
At least everyone gets their swings...

"Gary, you seem to want to steer this thread into a political forum for your personal views .."

Isn't the entire protocol your using based on political, and not science? With the decisions certain municipalities have made, it's obvious it's political. I agree with you, protections are a must. BUT, at what level, therein lies the political.
