| June 5, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Softball in WSJ It looks like you need a WSJ account to view it all. |
| June 5, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: COW TOWN CLASSIC - TULSA 6/18-21 CRASH - All signs are that it is a go. They are playing leagues there now. The tourney director for that one is the same as the MO Open which is being held as we speak. I guess nothing is 100% these days but there doesn't appear to be any reason that this could/would be canceled. |
| May 19, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Which bat to buy? Wood...I need to swing one of the Melee's to get a basis of comparison. Based on feedback that I hear, they are the best bat out there. I have a teammate that just got a 26 ox Parnell. He hit my 28 last week so I'm waiting to hear from him if there is a difference. Hopefully we get to use one of these in an actual game soon. |
| May 15, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Which bat to buy? Wood_1966: Just curious...what weight is the Parnell that you're swinging? I'm swinging a 28 and am getting really good performance from that bat. I keep looking for a reason not to like it based on all of the recent feedback but the bat has really performed well so far. I agree that it feels different and you don't feel any flex in the handle or the barrel on contact but I've been hitting bombs with that bat. Had a teammate swing it as well yesterday and he did the same. I agree that it doesn't seem to "break in" but it still performs well. We were hitting balls from close to the backstop (about 15' behind home plate) on a 305' fence with a decent wind coming in and were clearing the fence by a lot. I'm wondering if the lighter weight bats just don't get the same result. |
| May 12, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Which bat to buy? For what it's worth, I had a second round of BP with the Easton Parnell model. As noted before it is a STIFF bat but performed well. I'm getting the same distance with that as my broken in Miken Ultra II (black bat with green letters that's about 4 years old). It feels very different but performed well for having less than 100 swings on it. I'm not sure that I'll switch from my Mikens yet but it will be in the bag. I only have 2 of those Mikens left and I don't see any for sale so I'll need to switch to something when they go. |
| May 7, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA action shots, team pictures, Umpires, Fans Wives etc That's very nice of you to do Jack. I'm not finding many of my team but I am finding ones for friends here in St. Louis. It looks like the download button is gone from 2016 and earlier. Hopefully we can start playing ball soon and get you back to work as well! |
| April 23, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Which bat to buy? I have never been an Easton fan but I did buy the Parnell model of the Empire based on the Smash it Sports review. I've only been able to take BP twice based on our current environment but I thought the bat was as good or better than anything that I've hit with to date. It has less flex than I'm used to but it performs great right out of the wrapper. I was hitting balls out into the wind the first time I used it. I have no idea on durability at this point though. |
| March 24, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 30 minute Makeover for Rochelle with Brandi Myer, Lousiville Slugger Pro SM139 I've said it before but thanks Bogie for putting out all of the information that you do. It's made me a lot better hitter and there has to be countless others that it's helped. Maybe some day I'll get to head north for a one on one session. |
| March 13, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sunglasses Recommendation I may have to try the welding glasses...you have me curious at this point. Thanks for everyone's input. |
| March 9, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sunglasses Recommendation Thanks Wayne. Good luck with the upcoming season. |
| March 9, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sunglasses Recommendation Thanks for the info everyone. Diesel Dan - That's one idea I would never have thought of. I'll try to check that out. Wayne - Any specific site where you found the sale? I'm not seeing anything at $76 on the Oakley site. |
| March 3, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sunglasses Recommendation I don't recall this topic on this board before but I'd like to know what sunglasses you recommend for an outfielder. There have been times where I've been in the outfield and just have not been able to pick up the ball out of the sky with the glasses that I've been using. What do you all recommend and why? |
| Jan. 24, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Florida tournament of champions It's a 2019 roster event...not sure how you could join a team attending that? |
| Jan. 22, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: New to the area Hey Mike, you may want to let people know where you live because that will have an impact on what teams can add you to their roster. Good luck. |
| Jan. 3, 2020 STL0 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Georgia Renegades 50 AAA Looking for Tournament Quality Pitcher O'Dell. You can always move back (or get older quicker and play 55) :). |
| Jan. 2, 2020 STL0 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Brickyard Classic It's not listed in the tournament schedule so far for whatever that's worth. |
| Dec. 4, 2019 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Opinions on being called out of the batters box - Continued Sisavic - While I don't disagree that the box could have been adjusted with the use of the mat and its placement, the bottom line is that batters should pay attention to where they start off at when hitting. If you do that, there's no reason to step out of the box. This is no different than any other rule. You just have to play the game knowing the rule exists and no complaining if you get called out based on the rule. |
| Nov. 11, 2019 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Is a check-swing or deliberate half-swing legal? All good Nancy...just didn't understand why you were saying that. Take care. |
| Nov. 11, 2019 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Is a check-swing or deliberate half-swing legal? Nancy: Rule 7.6 (E) CLEARLY states that the batter must take a full swing (read my first post). Why do you continue to state that the rule does not exist and is a myth? For the record, I did say it would likely not be called and I wouldn't expect it to be called in this situation. I don't admire those types of swings but I do respect it. There's a big difference in my book but either way it doesn't mean that the rule doesn't exist. |
| Nov. 11, 2019 STL0 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Is a check-swing or deliberate half-swing legal? The only thing in the rule book I could find after a quick look that addresses this in SSUSA is this rule. 7.6 Batter is Out E. When the batter bunts or chops the ball, or does not take a full swing when deliberately hitting a pitched ball. The definition of full swing isn't given but your description by strict interpretation would not be a full swing. I doubt someone would call this an out in a game though. |
