| Sept. 7, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Can a player run for another one twice in one inning? No idea what you're referring to breeze53, but here is my response to what I think you are saying. 1) The umpires SHOULD be noting CRs and substitutes as they enter the game. 2) The home and visiting book have the opportunity to note CRs and substitutes as they enter the game and SHOULD be doing so. 3) In the absence of those things and/or the official's clear recollection of player "x" running twice as a CR in an inning then there is really nothing that a UIC or Director can do to change, or create a call. None of what I just said changes the rule, making it "legal" to run people as frequently as you'd like. |
| Aug. 31, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sunset Park If you're flying into Las Vegas, Sunset Park is the one you see out the left side windows just before touching down on the runway. The park covers a lot of acreage, but the softball fields are near the intersection of Sunset Rd & Eastern Ave Fields 5-6 sit on the Sunset Rd side of the park (across the street from McDonalds) Fields 11-14 sit on the Eastern Ave side of the park. Fields 5-6 and 11-14 are about a 4 minute walk from one another. All 6 have dirt infields and grass outfields. 11-14 have standard restrooms and more shade. 5-6 have a spot-a-pot and less shade. I hope this helps. |
| Aug. 30, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Can a player run for another one twice in one inning? Hi Dave, When considering rules changes, I tend to ask myself a few questions- "Is this really an issue, or something that is happening on a frequent basis?" And- Does the current rule detract from the game? In this case, my answer to both of those questions is No. |
| Aug. 26, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: WAYNE GILMORE make-up tournament All, . Just a reminder that the Wayne Gilmore Memorial tournament (rained out in April) will be made up on Sep 10-12 in Westminster, MD. All games will be played at the Carroll County Sports Complex. . Tentative scheduling plan- Men's 60, 65, 70 will play FRI, SAT Men's 40, 50, 55 will play SAT, SUN . The cost for teams that signed up to play in the original event is $50. The cost for teams that did not sign up to play in the original event is $250. . We'll use a double elimination format and separate teams by age / skill level as well as we can. This should be a good tune-up event for the World Championships. . IMPORTANT ROSTER NOTE- You many NOT use this event to qualify players for your Las Vegas roster. You may pick up players to field a team but they must be of legal age (per SSUSA guidelines). . . Send email to Tim McElroy if you are interested- PotomacSports1@gmail.com |
| Aug. 12, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Ocean State Classic tournament Warwick RI August 19th I will be writing that schedule- probably later tonight. If you are on a 60, 65 or 70 yr old teaam, games will begin at 9:00am on Friday. Assuming no weather issues, those divisions will finish up on Saturday. If you are on a 50 or 55 yr old team, you'll play on Sat / Sun. Tim |
| Aug. 9, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: World Championships in NV This isn't really difficult Cookie92. Cases are surging all over the country but events are still happening. If you are concerned about the virus, the variants or have concerns about any impact to your health, then don't book the trip. It's really the same decision making process that you went through when signing up to play in the Richmond, VA worlds this weekend. PS- good luck down there. |
| July 14, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: UPDATE: Bert Bennett Memorial Tournament (2021) Managers received an email just a few minutes ago, but I wanted to pass the information along to anyone who might be participating. We lost the use of Salt Box Park (Woodbine, MD) last night, so the Men's 40-50 Gold division has been moved. Note that ONLY that division was impacted. All other teams will maintain the same schedule @ Carroll County Sports Complex. Impacted teams: Utility Systems C&E (50 Major) Walkoff (50 Major) Autism Pride (40 AAA) Past Our Prime (40 AAA) Smokin' Aces (40 AAA) Warpath (40 AAA) NEW LOCATION for the 40-50 Gold Division Ballenger Creek Park = 5420 Ballenger Creek Pike in Frederick, MD 21703 (For "that guy" who is going to ask- I checked. Pinecliff Park is unavailable) What to know about Ballenger Creek Park- >> We've arranged for the fields to be drug each morning. >> Frederick County does not allow alcohol in the park. Please be respect the rules. >> No concession stand this weekend but there is a wide variety of options within a mile of the park. >> Left out of the park gets you to Subway, Roy Rogers, Taco Bell, and WaWa >> Straight out of the park gets you to a grocery store, Toppings Pizza, Jimmy Johns, McDonalds, Chipotle and more. >> There are a number of hotel options within 3 miles of the park. Whether you're a Hilton person, a Marriott person or a Super 8 person, there is something for you. |
| July 12, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Which Ball travels further: ASA or SSUSA Your opinion on what should have happened was noted in Raleigh back in May. It's been 60 days and you're still carrying a grudge and refusing to accept what was actually explained to 40 managers before play began. Nothing I say will change that so I won't even try. I'd like to thank you for the new name though. "Ass hat" is a much nicer name than the one you used while I was at the backstop that Sunday. Tim McElroy- |

| June 4, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Which Ball travels further: ASA or SSUSA Here's the bottom line... If you can hit, you can hit. If you're "that guy" who can only hit with the best bat & ball combo then you should consider raquetball. Everybody hits it off the wall there. |
| May 20, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Polk County Hi leftybob, I've got nothing to hide here (including my real name). Your manager (Ric Graber) has received 3 emails by my count covering start times and the full schedule. In case you haven't received the information from him, here it is- Custom Design Cabinets plays at 8:30am (F4) and 10:00am (F3) on Saturday morning. Bracket play in the 60 Major division will kick off at 4:00pm (F4) on Saturday. Is there anything else I can help you with Robert Morse? |
| May 19, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Polk County Steve, Steve, Steve... You really should speak to your manager before making posts like this. He knew a week ago that the entire tournament would be played on SAT / SUN with no games scheduled for FRI. He also received an email with start times on MON. Last night he received yet another email explaining that schedules were revised because 2 teams dropped after schedule posting (1 at 12pm on Tues and another at 4pm on Tues). |
| May 17, 2021 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Change in the batters box rule Batters have made adjustments to their stance and swing for years to prep for varied pitch arch of ASA, NSA, USSSA, and every other "SA" out there. Many of the same guys are still out there taking hundreds of cuts each week via live BP and tee work. For the life of me, I can't understand why batters don't use that practice time to work on staying in the box. I get that power hitters would prefer that all pitched balls come through the zone at a certain spot. I don't get why they can't train to hit a ball that is anywhere in the senior strike zone (while staying in the box). |
