Topic: Rules of the game
Discussion: Potential interference

This is what the umpire called.
Once the umpire realized the runner attempting to interfere with the throw he called a dead ball. Called runner out for interference with the throw and the runner going to second from first out for what he said an assumed out.
Inning over no runs.

Discussion: Potential interference

Runner was about half way between second and third. Runner deliberately threw his hands up to make the throw harder, not for safety or to protect his head. No jumping to my knowledge.

Discussion: Potential interference

After deliberations I think the call was correct but want to confirm.
Bases loaded one out.
Ground ball to third. Runner going to third from second throws his hands up to cause a bad throw. Runner does not contact the ball or third baseman and makes no attempt to get out of the way. This causes an errant throw that the second baseman cannot catch.
What's the call ?

Discussion: Am i wrong to think this way

Senior bats are already low compression especially after breaking in. So that is not a fair test. Senior softball organizations need to put pressure on bat manufacturers.
Make a cap that screws off. Measure thickness of the wall.

Discussion: Costs to play in Senior Southwest Championship

BLD is charging more so they can perform upgrades and maintenance. Unfortunately for whatever reason they did not do much maintenance and are sticking the bill to us.

On the good side, at least you don't have to worry about the infields being dragged or foul lines in the outfield. Last year ssusa did not do either at our worlds.

Discussion: Tournaments in general especially worlds

Is it too much to ask for field prep between games ?
It doesn't take too many games to get an unsafe infield.

Is it too much to ask for chalk lines between the foul pole and infield bags ?

Just basic customer service and safty issues that should
be included.

Thank you,

Discussion: Dont blame SSUSA for the ball problem.

I thought the ball used in Carson was fine. Not sure how it will play with elevation change and the heat.
I've seen the rock for sale on line 44/375
haven't heard a good reason why we can't use that ball.
If the quantity is too hard to get
bring your own ball 44/375 is also good idea.
Nothing wrong with keeping your customers happy.

Discussion: Centennial park 50's

Good times playing ball this weekend. Solid
competition !
Wish we could all play with less injuries but it is what it is.
Unfortunately Centennial park's infield is a joke. It's dangerous and needs turf. With turf Centennial park would be a great venue.

Discussion: Pitchers. A bit insane?

Andy, Randy,Jimbo and Carlos are some of the best pitchers in my area if not the country. They are a hybrid, part middle linebacker & part pitbull. They want you to hit the ball at them. They figure they'll make the play more often then not. To have one of the better teams in the country it all starts at pitcher.

Discussion: Which Ball travels further: ASA or SSUSA

Point taken. I'm actually into situational hitting. My analogy would be, base hits are like lineman in the NFL. You can't win with out them. I was kidding, referring to an old MLB commercial.

Discussion: you make the call

First baseman should have either went back to first for the force out or throw to the second baseman potentially covering first for the force.

Discussion: Is batter out

I'm no umpire but I have an out. Fielder shows control with hand bringing up the ball from under the glove. Ball does not hit the ground or fence.
