| Aug. 8, 2022 AKA: Southpaw | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A true senior moment I recently worked the polls for our state primary. Early in the afternoon there was only one very senior couple in the room preparing their ballots. The lady was struggling with papers in her back pocket. She exclaimed aloud: "I hate these pockets". Her husband responded: "I hate pasta too". Then one of the female staff questioned aloud: "Possum! Where's a possum?" I teach the senior men's Bible study at our Church on Sunday mornings. Invariably, every class starts with us comparing our aches and pains during the past week. One of our eldest always laughs and declares "Steve, it is all about birthdays!" I think he is right. |

Just wondering how/why you picked that name. My reason for asking is that "Top" called us in Vietnam, 1970, C Troop, 2/1 Cav. Sure hope someone reads this and responds! |

| March 6, 2022 AKA: Southpaw | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Probably a silly question, but asked anyway. My original question: "Is there a greater importance placed on a pitcher at any one level or another?" has been wonderfully addressed by Omar and Scott. Scott's insight especially made all of us think I believe. Thanks to all. |
| Feb. 28, 2022 AKA: Southpaw | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Probably a silly question, but asked anyway. Great comments on pitching Scott and Punch; would love to hear others as well especially those from Major+ since I have no experience at that level. And of course, Dave, you are right, concise, and thorough. I believe a part of where I am coming from is that other aspects of the game decline more and quicker than hitting (like fielding, running, etc) with the result that some players are overlooked at the higher levels where they once excelled. They drop down but are limited by lower allowances of Hr's. This might just be a problem in the South because of far too much fried chicken!! For the record, this is not at all about me. I have not hit a homerun in 30 years! |
| Feb. 27, 2022 AKA: Southpaw | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Probably a silly question, but asked anyway. I have another silly question. Please forgive me. With the very good quality of softballs and the extraordinary quality of senior bats, why are there so few homeruns allowed in AA/AAA? One homerun in AA or 0 allowed and yet AA is allowed 3 AAA players and AAA is allowed 3 Major players. At each level those 3 allowed players are usually the better, more capable hitters and homeruns are punished after the limit is reached. In light of the quality of bats especially, I would allow 2-3 homeruns for AA then 2-3 walks instead of instant punishment for those capable of hitting the long ball. For AAA, it could be 4-5, etc. Silly, I am sure for a bunch of reasons, but I really just hate to see those guys with pop taken out of the game to some degree. Thanks and God bless! |
| Feb. 27, 2022 AKA: Southpaw | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Probably a silly question, but asked anyway. It would help when I ask a silly question if I completed sentences! Is there a greater burden or importance placed on a pitcher in any one level or the other? |
| Feb. 27, 2022 AKA: Southpaw | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Probably a silly question, but asked anyway. I have pitched in senior leagues and tourneys for over 20 years. I am most familiar with AA/AAA and occasionally Major teams/tourneys. I have absolutely no experience with Major+, even watching an entire game. So, With a base philosophy that pitching is primarily about the ability to throw a lot of strikes and allow minimal walks (I know there is more than that) my question to all levels is about the impact or importance of pitching in all levels. My attitude is that pitching is no more effective as the defense and vice versa, the defense is no more effective than pitching. The essence of my question then is: Is there a greater burden or importance placed on a pitcher in! Certainly want to hear from those who are much smarter than me!! |
