| April 7, 2021 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Tournament Thanks for the info Dave. Will SSUSA be making sure the weeds on the two fields we are using is at least mowed down and not knee high as usual or must we put all our faith in Clark County Parks and Recreation? |
| April 7, 2021 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Tournament Dave, Looking at the fields for 60 Major it shows Shadow Rock 1 & 2. I'm hoping these are the two turf fields and not the two grass fields, and calling the weeds in the outfield grass is a stretch, that are alway in horrible condition. If they aren't the turf fields what would be the reason for not using them? Thanks |

| Aug. 12, 2020 FOFO | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Runner on 2nd helping batter with inside/outside pitches. Dave, Is a team allowed to set up a camera in centerfield, use a monitor in the dugout to monitor the camera and pass signals to the batter as to what pitch is coming by banging on a trash can with a bat ? Asking for a friend who wishes to remain anonymous but his initials are Dbax. |
| June 29, 2020 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: BP NEAR COCOA BEACH, FL I am working in Cocoa Beach, FL for the next month and was wondering if there are any guys taking any BP in the area or is everything shut down for the COVID. Thanks Bert Cochran |

| April 13, 2019 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA/SSUSA SOUTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIPS 2019 • TENTATIVE Field Assignments Murray, you are the first player that I have ever heard iof that has asked to be moved from BLD to Shadow Rock which leads me to ask, have you ever played at Shadow Rock? Unless they have done a major overhaul since last year the two grass fields are the worst fields to play on in Las Vegas. Both have knee deep weeds and clumps of grass. Not a good olace to play if you're an outfielder. I think I would rather try and figure out how to keep the ball in the yard at BLD. Try using a league bat perhaps. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck. |
| April 17, 2018 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: WHY NO LORENZI FOR SW CHAMPIONSHIPS Your right Dave. I need to get my sh!t together and read a littke more thiroughly. And Dave I wouldnt consider my question a rant. Your respnse on the other hand I would. Thanks for the update you GOB. Maybe you should have a Coke and. smile. Thanks for the clarification though. Im getting used to Shadow Rock. |
| April 17, 2018 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: WHY NO LORENZI FOR SW CHAMPIONSHIPS Hey Dave, Unless I am reading it wrong, which is VERY possible, in looking at the field assignments I don't see Lorenzi being used for anyone but the 5 team 60 M+. As it is one of the better complexes we have in Las Vegas why wouldn't more teams be playing there. We use it every week-end for LVSSA so it seems it should be available. Be nice to play there instead of the crappy fields at Shadow Rock or Cheyenne. Thanks |
| Aug. 23, 2017 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: message board standard for all My view on the topic on this thread is if you can't put your name to a post you probably shouldn't post it. Lacks credibility to post something anonymously. If you have a statement to make and feel strongly about it put your name on it. Bert |
| Aug. 22, 2017 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: message board standard for all Benj, AKA The Voice of MP. You can use my name. I'm always straight up in person or on the board. Pleasure meeting you and getting a chance to talk to you in person. Had a lot of fun. Good Luck the rest of the season and hope to see you next time you're in town. Bert 44 The Core |
| Aug. 2, 2017 FOFO | Topic: Bats Discussion: shaved bats That settles it. I'm getting off "THE JUICE" and signing up with Joe Lecak. Then maybe Mike will stop walking me. Probably going to kill my On Base Percentage though.................. |
| July 31, 2017 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Western results You're right Dave, That is funny, So. Cal State hasn't even been posted yet last I checked. I know one result. In a shocking upset the Core did NOT win the 55 Major Plus division. |
| July 17, 2017 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results of the SCSSA Beach Bash 17 Z, First let me apologize for even bringing up your team in the 1st place as you had no bearing on the topic. Just one more example of why you should never post when you are angry. As for you beating us it was actually twice. You put a beat down on us in Bullhead although I don't think either of us had our full teams there. IMO you guys were the best team we faced all season followed by D&K. We were looking forward to another shot at you guys but I suppose now that's not going to happen. If it does we will have to spot you runs. Classic. Hopefully you guys can get healthy and fill your 2 chip slots because if you do you are legitimate contenders to win the Masters. |
| July 14, 2017 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results of the SCSSA Beach Bash 17 They were there yesterday. At this point makes no difference. I'm only worried about The Core. Hope Rawlings or another west coast team wins Masters. |
| July 14, 2017 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results of the SCSSA Beach Bash 17 I am not surprised Rawlings isn't going. After seeing The Core and D&K, two teams they have handled this season get bumped they probably decided it wasn't worth the risk. They will just stay and play SCSSA and they show up in Vegas for The Masters as a Major team. Smart move IMO. Why risk it. No clue as to why some teams get bumped and others don't Z. It';s a mystery. |
| July 14, 2017 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results of the SCSSA Beach Bash 17 That's what we are thinking Dave. They played Vegas and won it and now they are laying low. Surprised to see they are playing Sacramento. Be interesting to see what happens if they win and get bumped. Who plays the National Championship game? Thanks for the info Benji although I'm aware of most of it. Our average age is around 59 and good luck to you and JK. Hopefully we get a chance to play against you guys. The Core always wants to play the best. |
| July 13, 2017 FOFO | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: You make the call Not sure what the SSUSA rule may be but in NSA if the ball hits an offensive teams bat the ball is dead, the runner closest to home is out. Not a good idea to leave the bat in the middle of the action. |
| July 13, 2017 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results of the SCSSA Beach Bash 17 Thanks Mango, I have played against you guys and the other M+ teams in the past and have never had a problem with anyone. We are all out there to have a good time and I will continue to do so. We will give it our best shot and If we go to the middle of the pack in 55 M+ and not the cellar I would be ecstatic. We are trying to find enough guys to go to Western Nationals to get the clock started on our appeal. I won't make it due to work but look forward to meeting you at the next one. Bert |
| July 13, 2017 FOFO | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Results of the SCSSA Beach Bash 17 Benji, At least we agree on one thing. You never will understand. You play on the a team that wins virtually every tournament it enters, have plenty of funding and when somebody's performance isn't up to snuff you simply replace him with a better or younger guy. We are a AAA team already playing up a division and we are not interested in replacing anyone to become a MAJOR PLUS TEAM. We are happy as we are, knowing that if we play well we can compete. That's all most teams want. Entering tournament after tournament after tournament to go 0-5 knowing not only can't you win but cannot even compete isn't that appealing to most. Also sucks knowing we can't chase the Triple Crown nor win Masters. SSUSA pretty much screwed our 2017 season. Also if winning isn't important why do teams such as Sommerville move up to 55's? Why not stay in 50's and play the best such as your JK team instead of dominating in the 55's. On another note, we aren't disbanding. We will play our 3 tournaments as a M+ team in order to get re-rated. As bad as it is going to be we want to play and as SSUSA has a Monopoly we have no other choice. My hope is that one of the SSUSA has to sit and watch out games, which by the way hasn't happened yet, so they can see just how poorly their system of rating teams is. |
