| Sept. 22, 2022 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Just heard this about BLD Taking the fans out of Wrigley Field made it look more realistic :). |
| Sept. 22, 2022 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Left behind at Worlds I've been frustrated after tournaments before but never just left all of my equipment there and walked off :). Must have had a bad day. Joking aside, if it didn't have a name tag somewhere on it, it was probably someone relatively local who thinks it is in the trunk of their car. Anyone who checked the bag would likely have a name tag on it. |
| Sept. 21, 2022 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hows the new ball performing at worlds Dave? I play 55 AAA. I hit as many out as I usually do. It's not a Rock but I personally think the Rock us too much. The ball did get dirty quickly and did retain the color of the dirt which I thought was strange. I never saw a ball do that before. Anyone who hit an HR earned it and that's the way it should be. |
| March 28, 2022 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batting out of order If the runner on third was paying attention or anyone else on the team (scorekeeper, coach, etc.), you should know that you have to attempt to score from 3rd on that at bat under that circumstance so you tag up and go on the fly ball. You try to keep it quiet or the other teams just walks the batter and the inning is over. I would think that the runner on 3rd had to know that he was up next. Did he attempt to score? |
| Oct. 1, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: OYO Hotel - Be Aware For anyone staying at OYO, I am aware of a few reports of rooms being broken into and items stolen. If you do choose to stay there, be aware that you should make sure your door closes all of the way to your room and deadbolt it. SSUSA: I would recommend not using this facility as one of your sponsored hotels. They don't deserve the business. I know they are not your responsibility but I would not want to be associated with that place in any way. |
| Sept. 16, 2021 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 55 AAA Seeding information I don't see an opponent for the 9:30 game at Wrigley Field. I only see STL Road Dogs. |
| Aug. 25, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Looking for opinions and or thoughts Does anyone know whether or not you can decline the equalizer in an SSUSA sanctioned tournament? We were told once at a tourney that it had to be taken. Is that correct? The rule book doesn't seem to address whether or not it is required. it just explains what the equalizer is and when it applies. |
| July 22, 2021 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Midwest Championships Rogers, AR Midwest Championships should be in KC or St. Louis for sure. This is an annual comment. That tourney just doesn't draw enough teams in Rogers. The facility is also not up to par there either. |
| July 22, 2021 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Sweet Construction/Eastern Nationals We had to pull out of a tournament for the first time since I've been playing senior ball last week due to injuries. Everyone had travel plans and rooms booked as well. We only had 11 and one person we were counting on as part of the 11 couldn't go based on doctor's advice. Out of the remaining 10, 2 were nursing injuries so we likely would have forfeited games if we did go. There was no bail out disease involved. Just couldn't field a team. We were as sorry it played out that way as anyone. |
| June 22, 2021 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Need clarification on rule batter box lines We played at the Smokies at Know County Sportsplex and there were no lines there for the box at any time from what I recall. Our manager wanted to complain about one of the batters on the other team being out of the box and I told him to let it go because if there aren't any lines, how can you expect the umpire to make that call. I'm surprised that call was made on you. My personal opinion is that if there are no lines, you can't be out of the box. |
| May 11, 2021 STL0 | Topic: Bats Discussion: UTRIP -senior ? Irishmike. If you're just getting back into things and don't want to spend top dollar, look on line for older models that are still NIW. Overall, you won't see much of a difference between what is the hot model today over a 2019 model. There are used bats for sale as well but that's a bit more risky because you don't know how they were treated by the seller and senior bats are more likely to break. If you can find anyone in your area that would let you take a few swings with different models, that's even better so you can get an idea of what you like. Good luck. |
| March 30, 2021 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Intentional walk used to nulify a dominate hitter. Consistently not pitching to someone in league play is pretty crappy. Maybe bat him at lead off and at least you get someone on base to start the game each time. The only real cure for that is having someone that can mash right behind him so it costs the team walking him. |
| March 30, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: "A baseball stance" is not helping your Softball Swing SM 163 Thanks for sharing. I find all of your videos really helpful. |
| March 12, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Membership Renewal I thought that I would add this as it may help you. There is a different login for renewing memberships as there is for commenting on this board. If you log in using your message board login/password, you will not see the registration. I have a separate log in to use to register. I'm not sure if that is just the way I happened to do it or if it's that way for everyone but thought I'd pass that on in case it helps. |
| March 11, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sad News I don't know that person or team but it certainly adds perspective on things. Condolences to Jimmy, his team and all who knew her. The softball families are close and I'm sure all are affected by that loss. Jimmy was lucky to have a wife that traveled with him and was a part of everything. I know that I enjoy tournaments more when my wife makes the trip with us. |
| March 1, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2021 SPRING WORLDS Just curious, are you planning on using a different ball like you did for the World Masters tournament on those fields? I suspect you will have to based on our experience there last year. |
| Feb. 24, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: shoes If you play outfield and want a comfortable waterproof shoe, I like the Merrell trail shoes (with gore-tex). You pay more for these like Benji said about the Hoka's, but to me it's the best investment you can make if you're playing a lot of softball. I wish I would have made a switch to a quality shoe a long time ago. |
| Feb. 3, 2021 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Interference? Based on the scenario as described, I could see the second baseman being upset about getting run over on a force out situation. That wouldn't go over very well if it happened to me. The runner needs to slide or give himself up but I agree with BJ on the ruling. Seems like careless base running to me. |
| Jan. 29, 2021 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Lowering on Rear Leg during Stride & Coil, Key to Developing Power /Exit Speed SM158 Love your videos Bogie. Keep them coming. |
| Dec. 22, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Should there have been a call I'm just jealous that someone is playing softball right now. Who cares about the call? My only comment on the play is that I appreciate Randall looking for feedback. That means you care and are trying just like the players are. I'll take an ump like you on my field all day long. Have a great holiday everyone! |
