Dec. 15, 2017 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: survey I also vote for the 2 innings at a time!
Nov. 19, 2017 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1 and 1 count Just played a non-SSUSA tournament with a 1-1 count. I was not a fan before the tourney, but am a fan now. We had no trouble getting to the 7th inning. Yes, I had to swing at some pitches I wouldn't have swung at with a 0-0 count, but it does speed the game up. I also think it lowers scores a little, which is a good thing.
Nov. 16, 2017 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rules question It was a tournament game!
Nov. 16, 2017 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rules question Then the umpire screwed it up. He didn't allow either run to score. But relax, this wasn't an SSUSA tournament.
Nov. 16, 2017 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rules question 2nd & 3rd, 1 out. Long fly ball to center. Both runners tag up and score. Defense says runner on 2nd left too early. They appeal and the umpire calls him out. How many runs score? One or two? Won't reveal what the umpire did, yet.
Oct. 26, 2017 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: When did our generation become such cry babies The only comment I would add to this discussion is that open innings should be treated differently in stat calculations. When you're losing a game by 12 runs in the top of the 7th and score 10 to lose by 2, that's not a close game in my book. The team that was beating us handily didn't get to bat in the bottom half. So runs scored per (normal) inning should enter into it, along with average open inning runs.
Sept. 28, 2017 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 60/65 Major World results Two years ago I took a picture of the bracket board at BLD on the last day, but then found out I couldn't attach the picture on this board, so I couldn't relay the info.
Sept. 16, 2017 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BP in Vegas I found no help from Google Maps before I wrote the email. But thanks, curveball!
Sept. 13, 2017 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: BP in Vegas Does anyone know of a good BP location near Desert Breeze Park in Vegas? Is that park big enough to support BP away from the games?
April 21, 2017 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Scores I took a picture of the board after the Worlds last year, but I couldn't figure out any way to upload it.
March 10, 2017 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Spring Worlds (St. George & Mesquite) Thanks for the shoutout Dave! We always stay in Mesquite regardless, because we feel there's a little more action in the casinos.
Nov. 17, 2016 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: UP TO DATE TOURNAMENT SCORES I'm loving those up-to-date reports, too. But it's always good to double-check your work. Enviro-Vac still says 2-2 in seeding games!

June 2, 2016 stattad	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Reno 65 Major results Everyone is asking for snapshots of the brackets. I don't see anywhere to post the photo I took of the brackets. Silver Streaks are up big vs. Cen-Tex, so it looks like Silver Streaks and Animals in the finals.
May 3, 2016 stattad	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: new 85 team forming looking for players When people ask me if I have a bucket list, I tell them only one. I want to play on an 85-year old team in 16 years.
April 12, 2016 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule question OZ is right. The catcher can never tag a runner at the plate.
April 9, 2016 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule question I looked in my rulebook and can't find anything that covers this. It happened in an ASA league game (I repeat, LEAGUE). Runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. Batter takes ball four and the ball bounces back to the backstop. The runner on 2nd forgot there was a runner on 3rd because he had a white shirt on instead of our blue. He takes off for 3rd, so the runner on 3rd takes off for the plate. The catcher picks up the ball and steps on the plate. The umpire called him out to end the inning. Is that the correct call? I thought the ball was dead in softball on a walk (unlike baseball).

Dec. 15, 2015 stattad	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: carrying bat to first base I found this comment on another thread. "You can carry it all the way around the bases, as long as you do not interfere with a play. Just remember it's not a hockey stick......"
Dec. 2, 2015 stattad	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For 70 and over. 11 players on the field. Like or Dislike Agree with Jawood. Makes the batter learn to hit to other fields, and more importantly, it lowers the scores, which can get pretty ridiculous.
