I guess I will continues to marvel at anyone in their 80's playing ball at ALL than focus on this odd focus.

I mean, sort of. So it appears that it's going to be random, no trash cans or allotted number of bats per team or stickers.

Are you able to share what it will look like? Stickers? Do teams get a specific number of bats? Should we get to the fields even earlier? Appreciate your response in advance.

Discussion: Jim Sherman results

OK, I meant the game results, not necessarily the final results. I know in other tournaments the seeding and Saturday bracket games results get posted, but seemingly not this tournament.

Discussion: Altered bat?

OK, got it. The urge was created when I heard rattling. I'll just use it in league. It definitely didn't make the bat hot but, I understand sticking to rules.

Hey I am trying to find bracket results for Jum Sherman, doing the refresh, etc. but not finding them. Are they up somewhere?

Discussion: Altered bat?

I moved to Arizona and the heat down here is different. I had 2 different bats that both started rattling, I learned that the weighting on the end cap is made of a plug with bb's that are glued together. I assume the heat did the damage. I took off the end cap, removed the offending bb's (just a few), cleaned up the old glue and re-glued the end cap on. A friend told me that now I can't use this bat at tournaments as it is "altered". Is this correct? I don't think re-gluing an endcap on is altering the bat's performance, but I do understand that when someone shaves a bat they have to remove the endcap. Thoughts, SSUSA?

Let's add "Loudly" to that rule! :)

Discussion: ILLEGAL PITCH

Question. When a pitcher throws a pitch deemed "illegal" (too high or too flat) is there any responsibility from the umpire to call the pitch illegal, loudly, while the pitch is still in the air? Some umpires loudly tell you it's illegal before you start your swing (extremely helpful on a border line height) and other's don't, or just hold their arm to the side which the batter can't see. I ask because I was watching a game recently and the batter had 1 strike and the next pitch was illegal, but the ump didn't make a sound. Batter swung and missed, then told the umpire "you have to be louder and faster with that call". The umpire said he wasn't required to say anything. I respect the umps, as I would never umpire a game myself. Thoughts please?
