Discussion: bat testers.

"EXACTLY"

The magic number on bat testing is 140. I have a few question concerning the testing and I'm asking
these questions I wanna know if this testing is fair for all players.

*If you test one bat you need to test all the bats, its only fair. Why is there only a select few bats being
tested?

*If there is two testing machines being use at a park are both machines calibrated to read exactly
the same. If one tester reads out at 141 and the other tester reads out at 139 how is this fair for one
tester that says your bat is legal the other tester says your bat is illegal and your looking at the senior
softball death sentence?

* Are all testers at all the parks calibrated to read the same ?

* Is the person testing the bats certified/trained on operating the tester?

* How often is the testing machine or machines calibrated?

* Are the testing machines certified by and independent testing company?

Just trying to figure out if I need to buy a new bat every 6 months or what the answer is because just
looking at a bat you won't be able to tell if its legal or not and I don't want find out at the park.

OLLIE... Did a survey of 25 random posters on this site and came up with 22 poster were ANONYMOUS does that
qualify them as a mystery posters as you say???

If I was playing on the same team as you and you RATED out a player on the team it would be either you or I leaving
the team ASAP!!! I don't play with RATS!!!! Whatever happened to what happens in the dugout stays in the dugout.
The something goes for what happens on the road stays on the road. You never see or hear of pro baseball, pro hockey players etc etc spilling what goes on in the locker rooms it stays in the locker rooms between players. RATS
are not tolerated in any sport. The person using the illega bat will get caught sooner or later hopefully sooner. The unwritten rule in sports is you don't RAT out teammate or you can hit the road. Ive always played by the unwritten rule and seen alot of teammates from high school up through college and pro sports hitting the road and in pro sports traded or demoted to double AA.

The illegal bat user you never probably see again, but the RAT you will see in just about every tournament, players
will be asking and pointing there finger saying there is the RAT. I wouldn't want that TAG(name)to follow me around
the rest of the time I play softball.

GARY.
Ive "NEVER" used a loaded bat or do I know of anybody on my team that has one. I have had my bats tested
multiple time at tournaments in the past 8-10 months.

As for my rings I WON them legally and won a bunch of them when senior softball handed out rings like chiclets
back 15/20 years ago and have 3 world rings, I'm just waiting to win one for my thumb and its for my other thumb and "ALL WITH LEGAL BATS" again "ALL WITH LEGAL BATS",

GRAY, if you knew of a player whether on your team or on another team using a loaded bat would you RAT him out?

JOHNNY...

*Where does is say I defend cheaters, I said he's still my FRIEND I didn't say he was right!!!
*I said altering a bat is illegal and he will have to pay the price for doing this. I not defending what he did
it was wrong but he will still be friend and he will have to pay the price.
*WHERE DOES IT SAY JOHNNY "IM" PUTTING OTHER PEOPLES SAFTY AT RISK??? MY "BATS" ARE ALL
LEGAL ACCORDING TO THE BAT TESTER WHICH IVE DONE SEVERAL TIMES.
* I don't live his life and he makes his own decisions and he made the "WRONG" decision AND NOW HE
HAS TO PAY THE PRICE.
*Softball is one of the lowest things to do on my totem pole. Ive got my "RINGS" I have nothing else to prove.
How many rings do you have Johnny??

JOHNNY, WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU DROVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT AND PUT OTHER PEOPLES SAFETY AT
RISK OR MAYBE HAD A FEW BEERS AND DROVE AND PUT PEOPLES SAFETY AT RISE???

I have to agree with you "YANKEESFAN12" about a friend always being a friend tru thick or thin. People are entitled to few mistakes in there life time just as long as they don't hurt other people. Shaveing or rolling a ball is Illegal yes and the friend will have to pay the price but he doesn't need to loose friends for bad judgement.

What I don't understand from what Ive read and heard is people disowning a friend for this. WHY DO YOU GUYS PUT SOFTBALL AS PRIORITY #1, FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND WORK NEED TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.
You guys who put SOFTBALL at the top over FAMILY AND FRIEND AND WORK need your head examined, softball needs to be near the bottom or at the bottom of the priority list. Friends and family is all you will have when softball ends which is sooner then you think.

"EXACTLY"

CVELITE.. So it sounds like you take walks as hits, it sounds like you take a lot of walks so there is
no way you "HIT" for 700/800 avg, WALKS DONT COUNT AS HITS they only count for on base
average. My average hovers around 500 to 650 based on hits only and I DONT COUNT WALKS
AS HITS, the last time I stuck out was about 25 years ago, it happens to everyone once every
couple of decades, so "COME ON MAN"

Why is every player looking for a new team says they hit for a 700 or 800 avg. Ive never seen in my 40+ years of
playing softball seen someone hit for an avg of 700 or 800 in every tournament. Ive seen a guys once in awhile put
together an awesome display of hitting for a tournament avg, but not in every tournament. "COME ON MAN"

Just go back to the way the batters boxes were when slow pitch started

The best rule change that softball ever made was the orange extended
base at first base

1 pitch would be a blast I'd love it. It would be funny watching the old guys(65's and up) looking for a walk like they usually do and its called a strike they would actually have to swing the bat no walk fest games.

Discussion: hitting up the middle

"EXACTLY"

I pitched for about 13 years and loved it. Middle is part of the game and part of the field. If you don't want be hit at sometimes don't pitch there are 9 other places you can play plus DH'n like GPATOOT said. They pulled me out of pitching because I was more valuable to the team in the outfield but I'm always politicking to get back on the rubber and it usually goes in one ear and out the other LOL LOL.....Ive heard from time to time when somebody lasers one up the middle at the pitcher they say "YOU HAVE ONE STANDING THERE TO". Its all fun and games, I just laugh my butt off when it happens and I enjoy the jawing back and forth.... ...

Always like your posts GPATOOT....

Discussion: Ball being used for Vegas?

"EXACTLY"

Everybody thinks they are a home run hitter even the smallest guy on the team.
Its amazing how may games are lost because of the home run ego of a few
players. Instead of trying to hit a single somewhere in a gap with bases juiced,
tie game bottom of the 7th the batter only needs a single into the outfield or through
the infield to win but his EGO won't let him go for the single but has to try and hit a
HR and comes up popping out to 3d baseman. Ive seen it 100's of times and what's funny
the same guy will be in a similar situation the next game and do the some thing.

Sometime softball is all about making adjustments depending on the ball used. In softball both teams have to hit, catch, the same ball for the whole tournament, wineing does no good, The old saying "BEAT US WITH YOUR BATS NOT YOUR MOUTHS" holds true here.
