Dec. 17, 2017 Gavin5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: survey Played with both 0:0 and 1:1. Prefer latter. Faster games, with or without courtesy. For those advocating 1-pitch format, consider the 2:2 count. Faster game than 1-pitch because fewer walks which really slow the game. Really works well, gives pitcher two chances to throw a strike. |

Nov. 6, 2016 Gavin5 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: injured player Knowing the current at bat will result in an out, would it be improper to just finish that at bat without swinging, hoping for a walk? |
Sept. 19, 2016 Gavin5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Vegas Bat Display Alan Tanner is legit. I have not only bought his equipment, but also benefited from numerous conversations with him over this game we love. Forget the dollars side of this discussion. I have also grieved with him over the recent loss of his son. This forum and all of senior softball is a better place because for the passion for the game that players like Alan are willing to share with others. Ed |

June 11, 2016 Gavin5 | Topic: Bats Discussion: SSUSA Staff: Shaved Bats Lots of opinions here on compression testing, but what tester are you using? The ASA and USSSA testers do not have a pass/fail PSI or index for senior bats. What tester measures BPF 1.21? Isn't that a manufacturer's declaration? |
May 30, 2016 Gavin5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: which do your prefer on a 5 game guarantee? Traditional 3 pool,then double elim preferred. But if the DE w/3 game guarantee reduces total games to the point that a 3-day tourney can be shortened to 2 days, I'm all for it. Not a likely probability. |

Feb. 23, 2016 Gavin5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Batting Average or On Base Percentage The most common walk is the intentional walk when the max runner is on third. I have a problem with awarding this batter the equivalent of a hit in the book when he's done nothing. That's the main issue I have with OBP. |
March 29, 2015 Gavin5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Batting Average or On Base Percentage Well organized and very well run senior softball 3-day training camp. Highly recommend this. Ed from Omaha |
April 29, 2013 Gavin5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Preferred tournament wants, Short replies, please. 1. Entry Fee not as important as below items 2. 5 or more game guarantee 3. Two day max if only 5 games (hotel cost) 4. RR or double elimination--depends on number of teams 5. Are you kidding? Senior bats definitely 6. 44/375 7. Like 65 over 70' bases, but this is done deal at 70' now in SSUSA, right? (I'm in 65 Div) 8. Mixed only if too few teams in your division. 9. Prizes not too important |
