| May 3, 2023 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Softball: A hitter's game? I was there sweating every second. Amazingly Steve Imlay was our best pitcher on that day. They did not have their sand wedge, but Steve did pick up the 7/10 |
| April 23, 2023 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Hall of Fame I know where to find the NSSHOF members, but is there a link for the SSUSA HOF members? |
| April 15, 2023 softball4b | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Scores Tournament well run, communication outstanding before, during and after. Umpiring at BLD was great. It was our first experience with most of these umpires and there was no quality fall off. Mike Adair Scorpions 70 |

| March 24, 2023 softball4b | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference I don't know if the boot thing really causes a miss, but I do know every time there is a ball thrown to the plate when I am catching, Webbie yells, Cheeseburger. He knows I will definitely try harder to catch it. Just sayin. |

| Feb. 14, 2023 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2024 Super Bowl IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED….a friend of mine has 2 tickets to the 2024 Super Bowl both are box seats. He paid $21,500 each. It includes a limo ride to and from the airport, lunch, dinner, and an unlimited bar tab. Also, backstage passes to the winner's locker room. Signed football and much more. He didn’t realize when he bought them, it would be on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested he’s looking for someone to take his place. It’s at St. Paul’s church in Orlando Florida at 3 pm on Saturday. Her name is Ashley she’s about 5’4” and 115 pounds. She’s a great cook, and loves to hunt and fish. She’ll be the one wearing the white dress in front of the church |
| Feb. 10, 2023 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOC WINNERS This is not a best of the best tournament. Rosters are a little more fluid. I view it as a celebration tourney. Enjoy the experience. |
| Jan. 13, 2023 softball4b | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 9. Make safety bag plays safer I think this rules change misses the mark. I believe this creates more of a safety issue than solves it. It also requires the umpire to make a ruling regarding the trajectory of the ball when the fielder utilizes the safety bag. I envision more collisions at first as opposed to less. 9. Make safety bag plays safer RECOMMENDATION: If a throw or play pulls the fielder into foul territory, allow him to touch the safety base to put out the batter-runner. MOTION to adopt ASA/USA rule: “On any force out attempt from the foul side of first base, the defense and the batter-runner may use either the white or contrasting color portion of the base. On an errant throw pulling the defense off the white portion of the base into foul ground, the defense and the batter-runner can use either the white or contrasting color portion.” And separately, the rule says: “When the defensive player uses the foul portion of the double base, the batter-runner can run in fair territory when the throw is coming from the foul side of the base, and if hit by the thrown ball, it is not interference. If intentional interference is ruled, the runner is out.” MOTION PASSED 11-0 |

| Dec. 10, 2022 softball4b | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Starting a new team Find at least two other players you trust and create a team through a consensus and not just a singular point of view. There should be one manager, but if he/she can rely on thoughtful constructive opinions then there is a reasonable chance that your team will be a team and not a group of individuals. Manage and expect your batting average to drop minimum of 100 points. 50s, bat 12 or 13. Appoint an outfield captain and let them handle rotations and positions. Find someone to do the book. Use OBP. No conflicts, no hurt feelings. 2 guys coach 3rd, you stay on bench to control/observe the dugout. Designate another to handle finding tournaments and registering. One voice, but always an informed decision. Good Luck. |

| Nov. 29, 2022 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Reclassifications 22 years in SSUSA. Softball since 1971. When I started two divisions Rec and competitive. Needless to say over the years been on both the hammer and the nail. |
| Nov. 29, 2022 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Reclassifications It is my understanding The results of a tournament and the scorecards are sent to SSUSA. A team enters 6 tourneys 2 1st 3 2nd and whatever. Competition/results/run differential. Body of work. Every measurement factor can and will have drawbacks, but placing teams in correct competition groupings is a goal not a guarantee. |
| Nov. 29, 2022 softball4b | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Reclassifications SPA also has flexible rosters for certain tournaments. Not a positive the other teams when you have a set roster. SSUSA have automatic move ups, but also have the body of work evaluations. The few that get "hot" cannot dictate for the whole. Had to me a couple of times over 22 years, but every time I look at my rings the great out weighs the negatives. Mike Adair |
