| Sept. 20, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Session 2 Champs Venom 75 major plus, won the USA Championship as well as the World Championship, going 5-0. |
| Sept. 19, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Testing at Worlds I hope so also. He did say he bought the bat new so in my mind he has no worries. |
| Sept. 19, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Testing at Worlds I was incorrect in my previous post. One bat failed, tested at 125psi. It was an old green Adidas that my teammate didn't use or never planned to use. They took the bat for further inspection and gave him a receipt. |
| Sept. 19, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Cold Softballs from coolers After an opposing hr the team threw in another ball. Our pitcher exclaimed "it's 10 degrees colder than other balls". He rolled it to the umpire and he said the ball is ok. Our pitcher just shook his head. |
| Sept. 17, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Testing at Worlds Our bats were inspected before our second game today. All passed. I had cracked my bat in bp before the first game and I left it in the car. After the second game as we were leaving BLD Tim did a compression teat on all of our bats. None failed. |
| Sept. 16, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Testing at Worlds At Arroyo Grande our bats were check, only for cracked bats before each game. The bats that passed inspection were not marked so in my mind it was a waste of time. |
| Sept. 11, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BLD dimensions I believe Yankee figures are incorrect, either yours or mine. I have 308 as LC |
| Sept. 11, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BLD dimensions Thanks 57! I did find the dimensions on the conference website. |
| Sept. 10, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BLD dimensions Thanks Stick. We have several on our team that run quite well! |
| Sept. 10, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Ball being used for Vegas? I agree Kegs! As for the Baden Fires, I have several in my bp bucket that were used by SPA 4 or 5 years ago. Chunks of covers are missing and many are cut. The new ones are holding up well. I don't have a problem with them. |
| Sept. 10, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BLD dimensions Thanks H, we used to use Google Earth and do the same thing. I'll give it a try! |
| Sept. 10, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Thank You Terry Hennessey for the Bat Testing Article In my opinion if your bat tests under 140 you shouldn't be using such a soft bat. So far this year I haven't seen any bats tested. Maybe Vegas will be different. |
| Sept. 10, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BLD dimensions I could be like that, except there aren't many 75 yearolds that have the speed to stretch a single or double to a triple. If you can't score from second you don't deserve the run! One more thing, it not about how many you hit over the fence, it how many you hit out of the park! ;) |
| Sept. 10, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BLD dimensions Lol, it's part of the game. I play in an over 40 league and its so crazy when I walk a batter with two outs and the fifth run is on second or third with first open. I mean they are ready to fight! |
| Sept. 10, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BLD dimensions I agree. I remember a couple of years ago we were out of hrs and I hit a linedrive out that would have normally been a typical single. One good thing is that we have unlimited hrs in the 75 division. |
| Sept. 10, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BLD dimensions I know this has been discussed in the past but can someone post a link with the dimensions of the fields at BLD. I tried Google and found results for Yankee Stadium but that was all I could find. |
| Aug. 29, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Arroyo Grande BP Thanks Dave, Venom is looking for bp field as well. |
| Aug. 26, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Finding my classification I believe what you will be told is that SSUSA rates teams, not players. |
| Aug. 24, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Timberworks Construction Enjoy your family! Bruce Fairchild Venom 75 M+ |
| March 7, 2024 BruceinGa | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Exit Velocity/Bat Speed It's been a couple of years since I have used it. I seem to remember having trouble differentiating between the two. Sorry |
