Discussion: 1-1 count and new ball

oz you said the pitcher gets 1 st strike then a moon ball .. pitchers taking advantage..my point hitters are cheating all the time. you want full count also..out of the box is only called in vegas...you got the hottest bats and balls ..but you want more..25 years we have been playing 1-1 in young mans game..no problems ...we could go back to when you had unlimited fouls in 70s we would get 3 innings in....

So oz what about the batters Standing in front of plate ..No way can stay in box. Rolled/ shaved bats...hottest bats and balls in softball. pitchers have calls go both ways ...1-1 makes the playing field a little more fair..To win championships you need to be able to play all sides of the game

As a pitcher the 1-1 count does not make you throw meat ..It speeds the game up ..makes hitters not wait for a strike .They have to be ready ..Much better game ..we did not play one game to 7 innings last year 50major+ except championship games..Lot more action and all around better game with 1-1 tx windy conditions made more walks always does .....Reid Miller team usa

there was a death in fla this fall..Not a senior..Lets wait till that happens???? The 50 and 60 major + hit it pretty good. As we age the reflex is not as fast..The bats are bad enough with the balls it is crazy..

Discussion: Today's "super" bats

Titanhd as I said we have cheaters and we have bats that are too hot after normal use. We need to pick a number and test bats. We have people shaving these nuts bats. Do we really want a net on the field or should we do something about bats.....

Sadly we need bat testing at the senior level. For cheaters and for bats that have gotten to hot from normal use.....

Discussion: Spot the Major + player

OZ40 to win on the M+ level need more 2 than 1...You need a couple mashers that can hit it out any time wind blowing in 330..you play in vegas you have to sit your big homer guys ...we were out of homers after 3 innings every game last year..

Discussion: Spot the Major + player

mck71 we go from being able to hit 10hr to 6...the M gets 5 a free complete inning ..so we cant have a 0-2 run inning ...losing those 4 homers changes some guys swings.if we play a M team with good defense and hitting we must be on our game to win ..i would rather play a M+ team over M any day....Reid Miller #4 team usa

OZ when you are a major + team and have to give 5 and hit less homers... you can only score 5 instead of 7 it is not easy to win....A Good Major team has the advantage over M+..M+ teams are not built to play major ....

Discussion: 1 and 1 with courtesy foul new rule for younger guys

rtaven got to ask how does 1-1 no foul(With a foul pasted not no foul) help weaker hitters...the reason more runs score and people have to wear mask is the crazy bats and balls.. lets get bat testing at the senior level...then we can see who can hit.....but i need to know how it helps the weaker hitters????

Discussion: Drum Roll...the Starting Count decision results.

To OZ40 as a pitcher 0-0 count my 1st 2 pitches are to maybe just hit a edge ..With 1-1 it makes the hitter and pitcher more on there game...
