| April 9, 2016 19 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Rocket Launcher "line drives where (sic) screaming up the middle" with "the hottest bat out of the wrapper I have ever used" is a really sad commentary on the state of senior softball and the "pride" of some guys playing it. :( |

| March 21, 2016 19 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Ohio 60+ team looking for a player Jet, I am just turning 60 this year. Do you happen to know of a 60+ team in or adjacent to Ohio that might need a pitcher? |
| March 19, 2016 19 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Joining A Nearby Senior Team mikev, might you be looking for a pitcher? |
| March 17, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Mango, your "logic" has been used before and it just a weeeee bit flawed. The DEA has a hard time stopping drug-runners, so should it all be legalized? Special Victims Units have a hard time stopping rapists, should rape be legalized? That is NO excuse, and NOT the reason, why the senior bats are allowed. And for an association to regulate strategy is patently absurd. |
| March 14, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Gee thanks, I think..... Of course it should be a choice. Well, not unless SSUSA wants to say what the real reason for the rule is. |
| March 14, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Getting awfully chippy in here. Still my only point is masks are fine, and anybody should be able to wear one if they want, but to mandate what should be a grown man's free choice is a bit much. Though I am pretty sure it is NOT about player safety but MUCH more about sanctioning organization potential legal and financial liability. If it is all about safety we know what the right action would be by the sanctioning organization. We are still looking at lip service and butt-covering, and keeping the cash cow healthy. |

| March 11, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Sparky, you are welcome. I am sure your assessment of what would happen to the Senior game is correct. I still find it sad that so much of the pride has left our generation of players. I occasionally wonder how many of these guys jump off a trampoline, dunk a ball, and then go and tell the grandkids that "Pappy looked like LeBron James today". :( |
| March 11, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Where is the pride??? :( I have nothing against masks for anyone who wants to wear one. It is the mandating what old men have to do, as if they cannot think for themselves, that I strongly question. |
| March 11, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Sparky, A BIG reason why aluminum, and now composite, baseball bats became popular was how frequently wood bats break and the cost of frequent replacement. Yes, I am sure at this point the extra pop from them has become addicting, but that was not the original reason. So now we would have to play t-ball because old guys have lost all sense of pride? :( That is a funny comment, but also kind of sad. Great post!!! |
| March 11, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks I wonder when middle-age and older men started losing so much pride. |
| March 11, 2016 19 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: looking for team in ohio Jim is a very good player, and an even better guy! |
| March 11, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Dave, those guys will never say that. Otherwise they would not be able to tell their grandchildren that "Grandpa hit a home run with someone else's R & D". We both know that will never happen. Do you think those are the same guys who put trampolines under the basket, dunk a ball, and feel good about themselves? LOL |
| March 11, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Any anybody who is overweight or has high blood pressure or is diabetic or a hundred other things are not doing enough either. Should we/you legislate those requirements to be able to play too? Be honest, if you really care about safety for EVERYONE you would legislate the bats. |
| March 11, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Any pitcher who is not approaching being at least 60' from the batter at the moment of contact is not doing enough to help themselves. 16wood, those are some great points! taits, that was the best post of the day/week/month!!!! NO comparison between being a pitcher and a hockey goalie. NONE! Pitchers don't face deflections off of stick and other players literally a foot in front of them. Again, any pitcher or player who wants to OPTIONALLY wear a mask is certainly within their rights to do so. Others telling grown men what to do, in this case, is absurd. |
| March 10, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks 'Skerz, thanks for making my point for me. Infielders are free to wear whatever they want, and conversely free not to. Pitchers don't get that second freedom. |
| March 9, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks 'Skerz, if they really want to make the game safer they would do a much better job of controlling/limiting what bats can be used. Anything and everything else is just lip service. You act like only pitchers are affected by the silly bats being used. What is being done for the corner infielders? |
| March 9, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks Omar, Sorry, but I just don't think it is SSUSA's place to be protecting the interests of my or any other pitcher's wife. Or protecting the taxpayers. As far as the guy who hit the ball, he knows he is running that risk when he chooses to step to the plate with a bat most likely banned for all under-50 play. He took that chance, he pays that "price". mad dog, GREAT point! |
| March 8, 2016 19 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: face masks So the consensus appears to be that middle-age and older pitchers are not capable of making decisions for themselves that have NO impact on anyone other than perhaps their families. |
