April 24, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batting Box rule change Left handed player called out correctly, entirely within the box Probably his union is protecting his butt, but when he's no longer a MLB umpire, let's hope he doesn't show up working senior softball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvWtjHOD_Do
April 22, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: Bats Discussion: Interpretation of the new bat rule Bat warmers like these work great. Even if the ump will not let you hang it outside your dugout, even hung inside, the bat will get warm. Rotating the bad some between at bats also helps. Or just use a good .20 bat. I've been told by knowledgeable hitters that there's only around 20-30' difference between a .20 and .21 bat. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225698128857?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1Q69DWnDlSbOiuv6IWG7Pxw23&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=225698128857&targetid=1583904486362&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9029925&poi=&campaignid=19894961968&mkgroupid=148855406073&rlsatarget=pla-1583904486362&abcId=9307911&merchantid=6296724&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlZixBhCoARIsAIC745C_DHKFez-XWuLQP89HUvsUL6ifUNMYURO7aUA12Kaz4hElpPTdkNYaAhXXEALw_wcB

March 30, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter Box Rule One of the keys to the discussions about old or new batter box rules is the plate umpire. Since the majority of plate umps do not go in front of the plate on ground balls to get a better view of first base, it wouldn't take more than 1.345 seconds to take a look down to the batters back foot on contact to see if it's legal. They still have plenty of time to track the ball/throw/catch if that's what takes place. If the hit ends up going upward, hell, you can check the batters back foot, see if base runners are touching the next base, and still move out, pick up the ball, and get in position for another play. The ball can take care of itself, it's all the other possibilities that umpires need to focus on.
March 28, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Lost Glove K9er. What field do you think you left it at? Us seniors play on 6&7 Tues.& Thurs. mornings and 55+ on Wed. late afternoon. There are other city leagues that play at night beginning Monday. Us seniors use a closet in the building next to 6&7. Will try to check next week. Good luck.

March 4, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A new Novel. A great read! Another great read is Level Playing Fields by Peter Morris. Besides Amazon, it's available on the Libby App. A good app if you like E books or audio versions. https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska-paperback/9780803246300/

Feb. 23, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat Advice-Break in and onward Most hitters turn a new bat less than a 1/4 inch after each swing. Some bats show numbers 1-8 on them and some players mark their bats themselves. If you don't rotate these bats every time and your a power hitter, you might break it sooner if hitting the same area constantly.
Feb. 21, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Players needed for 75 AA/AAA team Softballin2013, look up rule 13.1(2) Players must play in regions.
Feb. 12, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batters Box Rule Change Then you have a possible discussion with the umpire when the ball is contacted by the batter if the ump was quick enough to see if the batters foot was in front of this line when ball is contacted. I'd rather see the ump move out to the right to see a close play at first.
Feb. 9, 2024 DieselDan	Topic: Bats Discussion: Vietnam Platoon Leader Finds a Longer Stride helps him Develop More Rotational Hip Power Batter’s Box. The batter must take an initial position with his back foot behind a line defining the front edge of home plate. The batter will be called out if he hits the ball when the back foot is completely forward of that line. How will this effect hitter's who have a strong hip rotation which includes moving the rear foot forward quite a bit. Many have the lead foot on the forward batter's box line. Set up deeper in the box and hope the pitcher doesn't pitch to the front of the plate?
