Aug. 28, 2024 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Arroyo Grande BP What's a good spot for batting practice at Arroyo Grande before our games?
Aug. 27, 2024 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Timberworks Construction Doug-- It was a pleasure playing against you guys. Best of luck to you. Tad R&R 75s
July 24, 2024 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Sched conflict - Western Natl's Foskett Lincoln I'm not seeing this updated yet. Tad
July 10, 2024 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tournament map Thanks.
July 9, 2024 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tournament map When you click on tournament map, for instance for the Western Nationals, some of the locations are green and some are red. They have numbers or question marks on them. What does this mean? Any chance it means miles from Sacramento?
Oct. 23, 2023 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2023 Worlds Thanks mck71. That's the only place they're filled out.
Oct. 22, 2023 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2023 Worlds I'm not seeing brackets filled out, either.
June 28, 2023 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: High Top Cleats My shoes fit fine because I ordered a size larger. They felt fine today in their first outing in a doubleheader.
June 27, 2023 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: High Top Cleats I bought a full size larger and they're still tight.
June 27, 2023 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: High Top Cleats I bought some high top cleats from Boombah because they were a closeout and I have a hard time finding shoes in my size. There are no returns for this shoe. Why is it no one wears high tops in tournaments? Are they worse for running?
Nov. 25, 2022 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 11 Players For 65 Brackets I think it's a great rule. Anything to bring down the scores from a slugfest to some meaningful runs.
Nov. 24, 2022 stattad	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 3b, Pitcher- Ventura County, CA 93003 He's looking for a 65+ team and is a very good line-drive hitter. He would be a good addition for any AA or AAA level team. I play with him in league. Maybe the 911 team or Godzilla?
March 5, 2022 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Scorekeeping Question Mason's Grandpa is the only one that got it right. It is a sacrifice fly foremost, because if the OF catches it, the run still scores. I don't believe there's an error, however, because the batter didn't reach safely (since the runner on first was forced at 2B). As for only hits and outs in softball, that's just lazy. Most players don't know what constitutes an error, so they just give him a hit. Doesn't help the manager any when everyone is hitting over .600! A batter has nothing to do with getting on base if the fielder makes an error. And I'm still waiting to see a batter score from 2nd on a walk, since some say it's as good as a hit!
Dec. 9, 2021 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Coin flips Well, I always advocated for a coin flip in the championship game (the first one), but I appreciate the detailed response Dave!
Dec. 9, 2021 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Coin flips A rule suggestion I made a few years ago gets defeated every year. The rule would be that if an undefeated team in a tournament loses the coin flip in the championship game, they automatically get the choice of home team in the IF game. The reasoning is that the undefeated team proved something ON THE FIELD and doesn't deserve to be the visitor on 2 straight coin flip losses. I'm not asking people to change their minds. It gets voted down every year. I just want the REASON. All I've heard is "that's how we've always done it." Well, we've always had 10 men on defense in the 65 division, and now that's changing!
Nov. 12, 2020 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Batting practice at Papago Park Thanks Dave!
Nov. 10, 2020 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Batting practice at Papago Park How about Rose Mofford. Can we use the soccer fields or other areas?
March 12, 2020 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Corona Virus (COVID-19) I just read an article. Here's part of it. Is SSUSA waiting for US to tell them we're not coming? The coronavirus is coming to you. It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly. It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two. When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed. Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways. Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die. They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies. The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today. That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.
