| Nov. 21, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball for 2025 JIM PeRrY19, here's a novel idea, if your gonna whine about the ball why don't both teams have a wet to damp rag in the dugout and have one of your subs wipe down the ball or balls between innings or would that be to much to ask from a sub(NON PLAYER) if it is, here's a better idea get the umpire to do it. |
| Nov. 20, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball for 2025 Why does it matter what ball you use both teams have to hit it, throw it, and catch it. Word has it gonna be a 12 inch ball, yellow in color, and have red stitches and a logo with the letters SSUSA. |
| Nov. 10, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: New batter box rule JohnO28 The turf fields I've played on are either all dirt infields turf out fields or base cut outs that are dirt. Played in mesa az 4/5 years ago at then called bell bank park the fields were all turf and just used the boxes that were there never really worried about it both teams had to use them hell I just played I never worried about the small things out of my control. I don't think anybody complained about it a bell bank when we played there. |
| Nov. 10, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: New batter box rule O-boy here we go again with the batters box. Just go back to the rules for the batters box that were used from when softball first started. Both feet completely in the batters box any foot outside completely outside the box on a hit or foul ball is OUT!!!! Thats way they chalk out the batts box before each game so you know where to stay to be legal. |
| Oct. 25, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: One Pitch Softball NICKNAME36. I like your thinking and yes 1 pitch would be fun and yes it would be a hitters game. Lets play 14" senior tournaments. |
| Sept. 6, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Thank You Terry Hennessey for the Bat Testing Article Better load up on wooden bats, I don't see anything good coming out of all this bat testing, your damned if you do damned if you don't. I see it now if a 65/70 year old hits a laser through the infield and the third baseman and shortstop barely react, the defensive team will call time out and have the bat check its just around the corner. "THE CAN OF WORMS HAS BEEN OPENED" |
| Aug. 28, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Arroyo Grande BP SUNSET PARK. Park in the middle of the south parking lot there is an alley that runs northwest perfect for BP we use it whenever we are in Vegas and play at arroyo grande which is about about 3 miles from sunset. |
| Aug. 7, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter Box Rule Just go back to the original batters box, it worked just great for decades and decades and nobody bitched about it and nobody complained about it. Why is senior softball changing something that was never broken in the first place????? The one thing senior softball did right and was needed was putting in the orange extended base at first even though I still get my foot stepped on from time to time, a whole freaking base and guys still step on my foot amazing. |
| July 30, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Fields for Eastern nationals Hey GIO223NY go to Arizona, mesa to be exact and play at LEGACY PARK and let see how much you will wine about the big fields. When I played 50/60s we could still could motor more so in the 50s but the 60s wasn't to bad either just have to play little deeper on larger fields. As the old saying goes "its easier to run in then to run out". |
| July 30, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rookfied, Wi Balls Just be thank full you had balls. Like nickname36 said just as long as both teams use the same ball for the whole game I don't see a problem, both teams have to hit and catch them.. |
| July 18, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: ILLEGAL PITCH BJ.... Are you one of those old seniors that carries a rule book in your back pocket?? |
| July 18, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: ILLEGAL PITCH BJ....On deck batter only says or yells illegal" IF" the umpire puts out his arm but is not verbal with the illegal call. It docent take a rocket scientist to figure that out. |
| July 16, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: ILLEGAL PITCH 90% of the umpires I've had over the years are verbal with "BALL, FLAT, STRIKE, or BALL" and call "ILLEGAL" with a verbal 25 to 50% of the time or they put the right arm out parallel to the ground and then we relied on the on deck batter to help you out. Not a big deal!!!! I never played in a double hitter league or any league to just walk. LOL LOL Championship games are another story weather there in town or out of town. |
| June 27, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: CT Masters Tournament Jimperry19, Yes you are correct with all the other wineing points you wrote about. Why can't we just play the game the way it was designed Sure there will be problems but changing all the things that people want changed will just ruin the game and you will lose more and more teams. One thing that I have noticed is that the 60 and over team managers have rule books in there back pockets and it just delays the game more and more every time they wanna complain. Umpires have a hard job dealing with calling the games fair but then have to listen to managers complain about a lot of things. Senior softball is starting to look like the NBA where the players wine and complain about every call. |
| June 26, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: CT Masters Tournament My is there so much bitching in senior softball now a days? You would complain if the hung you with a new rope. people complain about the batters box, time limits, commitment line, game times, umpires, etc etc it never ends. I use google earth pro to eyeball the park or parks from above especially if I have never been to the park or parks and pack according whether its a rental car or my personal car. Google gives you birds eye view of what your getting into to. |
| June 5, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Numbers on Jerseys Why would you want 3 numbers on your back and maybe on the front also..??? Maybe the same reason why pro athletes wear neon colored spikes, sneakers, etc etc and they don't match their uniform colors..... |
| May 23, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Back Foot in Front of the Mat My god its about time to end this discussion about the batters box, go back to what it was in the past, it worked great for years and years, why try to fix something that's not broke. |
| May 5, 2024 yankeesfan12 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Bat testing standard What happen to an older model senior bat with all the proper logos and numbers on the bat and the bat is say 10/15 years old and I fails before the first game played in the tournament what happens to the bat, and what's happens to the person/player owner of the bat???? |
