Wow. This is 8 blocks from my house. Was looking forward to playing tournaments there, but now they are focusing on youth sports.

I have broken all 3 of my SP bats. Low to mid swing speed. Like Anarchy, they are super hot then they taper off and/or break. THAT SAID, I hear the latest kevlar models are doing better than the first run bats. I'm all Axe now.

Stick, IDK about the catch. It could have gone either way.
She said after the fact, "I believe him". Well, I believe that strike 3 call against me was 15 feet high!

Discussion: Umpire question

Last weekend, we had a situation where an outfielder made a play on the ball, he dropped it but possibly he dropped it on the transfer. Honestly, call could have gone either way, it wasn't an OBVIOUS catch and drop while transferring to throw. Umpire calls the batter safe, dropped ball. Defensive team protests, it was on the transfer, etc. Umpire calls timeout, walks out to right center field, asks the guy if he caught it (he of course says yes, he did) and she CHANGES HER CALL. The other team protests and she claims she believes he is honest and told ger the truth. I have never seen that before. I cannot imagine that is by the book? Any umps out there correct me if I am wrong.

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.

Discussion: Worlds bat testing

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.

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.

Re-gluing the cap?

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?
