Discussion: Force out?

If your an infielder and dive for a grounder. Ball is in your glove but U can't reach the base for the force out with your glove or foot in time. But, U can reach it with your bare/throwing hand. Is that a force out?

P.S. My test results were with a Worth AT 18 end load 26 oz. Next time, I am going to use my Miken Ultra 27 oz balanced. Will see if there is any difference.

Discussion: BAT HEAD SPEED

My friend came to BP with a device that attached to the knob of my bat and he got read outs on his phone-some app. I thought I would be in the 60s plus, but over about 20 hits, I was between 49 and 55. Kinda like, when asked what was my average drive off the tee in golf. I guessed 225 yards or so, When I started to GPS, I was really 190-200. God, I am getting old.

Discussion: Dumb Question

On a recent bat review by Texas Dave V, he said they use spinner balls for the 1st review and then 44/375s for the 2nd. What is a spinner softball??

Texas Dave: I really enjoy watching ur bat reviews on utube and the guys hitting bombs. Anyway, any chance U could start including say a 75 AAA type player so we can see how the bat actually performs for us older middle of the road players?

Topic: Teams looking for players
Discussion: Chicago Gray Sox

The Chicago Gray Sox are moving up from 75AAA to the 80s division. Looking to ad 2 more players. We currently have our max limit of 79s. So, we are looking for true 80s. Able to play multiple positions and run for yourself would be a bonus. Team is looking at 8/9 tournaments. Most in the Midwest. Plus, Vegas. For details call Wayne at 630-881-2903 or Jerry at 815-715-4273

Discussion: Tie-Breaker in Round-Robin Play

As long as tournament formats came up: The 75 AAA played "4" prelims and single elimination. I personally believe this is one of the worst formats.
Sure, an easy way to get 5 games in. Most of the guys really don't care about those 2 xtra prelims.
They are just trying to get the the single elimination in some form of physical health. Just do the standard 2 and then bracket play.

Thanks Dave-My team is hoping to move up to 80s and just want to verify the rules.

Discussion: Roster makeup

Is this still the rule for 2023 season? An 80s team can have up to "7" players that are 78 or 79 but only 3 can be 78. Also, can a player be 77 if he turns 78 during the current season?

Discussion: Move Midwest Championship to St. Louis

Did not know Rantoul could offer "8" new fields. Sounds like a great venue for a major tournament.
Plus teams from around the Midwest would have easy interstate travel to the site.

Joliet il has a great 6 field complex and has many tournaments. The Midwest was good in Champaign il and just up HYWY 55 Rantoul Il built a new 4 field complex. Maybe could use both at same time.

Discussion: BATS

Our lead off batter is a singles hitter. He bought a Dudley Doom end load. On his 12th game hit, it had a HUGE crack. This was with no break in batting practice. Just 12 hits total. Has anyone else experienced a similar failure??

Discussion: 11 Players For 65 Brackets

Besides the obvious, being the 11th defender allows another teammate an opportunity to play. Every once in a while, the subject of pitcher safety comes up. When U add in the 11th defender between the SS and 2nd base there will be less balls hit up the middle especially when there is a runner on 1st and less than 2 outs.

Thanks Dave-I have heard so many different conversations/opinions on rolling. It just peaked my interest to find out the official rule of which I had no idea.

I am very serious. I watched Dave's (senior softball bat reviews) August wrap up. He took off as to his feelings regarding players who shave bats.
He did not mention rolling a bat. That is why my question. I keep seeing ads pop up offering services for both. Trying to figure out why anyone would do either if illegal and the penalties if caught.

Shaving a bat is illegal. What is the ruling on rolling a bat? Heard it just shortens break in time. True or not?

Thanks-what mostly prompted my question was watching Dave on senior softball bat reviews. He really goes up high and hits the ball with a lot of pop.
