| Oct. 31, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Finger Protection I would have to agree with Wayne, use a plastc finger splint. Slide it on and use surgical tape around it in a couple of places. This will prevent the finger from bending and you can get it in your glove easy enough. Ive also broken the pinky finger on my glove hand and was able to play with the splint. |
| Oct. 22, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Renewal Ive used the link that was on my home profile page in the past. There used to be a link there at the end of the year if card was expired for the upcoming year. The last time i renewed my card in 2018 i don't remember the link being there. Just call the office during regular hours tho and someone will get that handled for you quick and easy. |
| Sept. 24, 2020 AJC | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA/SSUSA Well said Softball4b. A big thank you to SSUSA for putting in the extra time and effort in securing us fields to play on. This was our 1st event this year and we werent sure what we would look like but it didnt matter, we just wanted to play again. Agree 100% on the umpires, we had umpires running to get into position to make a call. Every umpire we had were very good. The directors at the fields, Tim M at Little Valley and Jerry at The Canyons were awesome and helpful. We had a great time & cant wait to take the field again. All the teams we played were class acts as well. Props to SSUSA and staff, you guys nailed it in a very difficult year. |
| Sept. 22, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: C19 at Worlds. A little disturbing to read that a couple of players had tested positive that were staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites. Our team also stayed there last week and weekend. 2 of our teammates took the test yesterday before we were all notified of the positive tests of a couple of teammates. They took the test just as a precaution. Then today we found out that we stayed at the same hotel. Early evening today both of our players were notified that their tests were negative. That is a big relief. Im putting this out there as i know there was players from other teams staying there as well. I hope for a full and speedy recovery for the players that have contracted the virus. |
| Sept. 21, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: worlds tee shirts Coop, they were there Friday & Sat at the Elite booth. |
| Aug. 20, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Shirts and Caps at the Worlds Carl, in a normal year you could find any shirt you wanted on the 2nd day of play if you didnt pick 1 up on the 1st day. This unfortunately is not a normal year and im sure that was partly the issue with shirts at the Westerns. The printer doeant want to get stuck with a bunch of specific tourney shirts that are dated. You should have no problem at the Worlds in St George but id probably advise if it is important to you to have one, id grab one the 1st day. Good luck ! |
| Aug. 13, 2020 AJC | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Runner on 2nd helping batter with inside/outside pitches. Greinke actually yells out what pitch is coming when Pablo, the Brandons & Pence are up. The world series years in SF are definitely over for a while. Not complaing tho, i would have been happy to see 1 in my lifetime, instead got to see 3 in 5 years ! |
| Aug. 8, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: WESTERN NATIONALS Best of luck to everyone attending the Westerns. I hope everyone follows saftey protocols and represents our sport in a positive way. If the "Powers to Be" are on the fence on allowing "senior softball" to take place startng next month at the Masters in Vegas, they very well could look at how serious and the precautions that we took in St George. Stay safe fellas ! |
| Aug. 2, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For Dave.......................................... Apologies Dave, was only trying to put a smile on your face. Im sure its hard to laugh these days. |
| Aug. 2, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA's WESTERN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020 Omar , you are correct. The temp fences they use on McGarvey ( baseball field ) are a nice setup. You dont run thru those when they are connected. Those had to be very expensive. Its nice to see some of our tax dollars put to work. |
| Aug. 2, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For Dave.......................................... Dave, we would like an early start time then, that way i can grab some tools at Home Depot before our game and won't have to wait in line outside for 20 minutes before i can go into the store ! |
| June 30, 2020 AJC | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western National Tournament location All of the Casinos in Nevada are open with thousands of people inside, yet playing softball outdoors, getting a little exercise is not allowed ? Drove by Graton Casino in wine country 2 weeks ago, its open, the parking lot was packed full of cars. I cant believe county officials allowed that to open. |
| June 29, 2020 AJC | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western National Tournament location If it was moved to Reno, you could call it Rock 'N Westerns. |
| June 29, 2020 AJC | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western National Tournament location Id like to 2nd Wood 1966's idea. Move it to Reno if fields there are available. I know its easier said than done but opening up in Cali in a month could be an issue. |
| June 13, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Catchers will wear a mask How long does an average half inning take where you play ? Since the 1 - 1 count has been implemented half innings are much faster. There is no more waiting for a strike to hit the bat before the bat comes off the shoulder and the batter is ready to swing. No one wants to wear a mask, but if that is what is required so be it. I work outside usally in the direct sun, i have a couple of accounts which have asked me to wear a mask while im there even tho no one is around me while imnworking. I know temps at times have been 100 and worked for a few hours with a mask on. I dont like it but ive never felt like it hampered my breathing. I know its a lot more strenous than tossing a softball back to the pitcher ( ok, 6 minutes at a time ). The point is, if you cant handle being out there for 5 minutes or more, you shouldn't be out there. As far as litigation goes, is someone going to have a pre existing condition, play anyway , get sick and then sue ? For that id say is BS. Shouldnt the player decide whether they can perform under that requirement and own their own decision ? You shouldnt be allowed to have it both ways. No one is making anyone play, its a decision made by each player if they want to participate or not. |
| June 13, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Catchers will wear a mask Is a catcher wearing a mask for 5 minutes at a time really putting themselves at risk ? Is the catcher better off not wearing one at all ? Do you think for a moment that it is SSUSA idea for catchers to wear a mask or could it be possibly an idea to present to countys and park and rec depts to show what will be done so we can take ghe field again ? If a player cannot wear a mask for 5 minutes without having some type of health risk or breathing obstruction he shouldnt be out there in the first place. The threat of a lawsuit is such BS. For those that have concerns about their safety, its understandable. There is so much contradictory information its hard to decipher who and what to believe. Id like to think with a little common sense & social distancing we would be ok to play. Id rather follow what ever guidelines that we are asked to follow so we can get back on the field then sit at home for another month. |
| June 11, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Catchers will wear a mask If he has chronic breathing / respiratory conditions it would probably not be a good idea to play. If the guy still wants to play, put him at 2nd or 1st if the mask bothers him. No doctor is going to give a guy in that condition a note saying he should be allowed to play without a mask. |
| June 6, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Softball in WSJ oops, my bad. Meant Dave, obviously not Fave. Happens all the time when posting on my phone using my thumbs. |
| June 6, 2020 AJC | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Softball in WSJ Dbax, try using your search browser. Type in " Fave Weinman softball article ". I did it using Chrome on my phone and the entire article will come up. |
| May 26, 2020 AJC | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Fountain Hills Tournament Benji4, as much as i hate to admit it, i think you are right. Cali, Wash & Mich more than likely will be among the last states to open up for softball. |
