| June 7, 2011 E4/E6 Men's 70 873 posts | XReno 2011 50, 55's Feeling much better Joe, thanks for asking. I have finished all my Radiation and Chemo and am looking at Temecula/Hemet in September as my first tournament back. Hope to be back in some form for Phoenix in October. My point with my last post was if we train ourselves to watch the ball, it really doesnt matter what a pitcher does antic wise. The ball still has to be thrown in the batters general direction at a pretty slow speed. Still it will be interesting to see how SSUSA addresses your concern or if they address it at all. Sorry I had to start a new discussion, I couldnt get into the original post. A B I G hello to Krispy Kreme aka (Pinky) |

| June 8, 2011 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Robert. Let's get this straight. You think those who opposed, protested verbally and vehemently and didn't approve of illegal/distracting/deceptive antics of the pitching in the Sommerville(Mavericks) vs Northwest Legends in RENO 50 Major Plus games either aren't good enough hitters or are whiners and cry babies. That would mean that Parnell, one of the best hitters in the country, John Kramer, one of the biggest hitters in the nation, Mickey Hughes, Dave Meggison, Aaron, Gary, and the rest of the old Mavericks who dominated senior softball for a couple of years running would all fit your sadly self-serving and obviously ignorant statements. Think you should apologize for putting your foot in your mouth to all of us and these guys in particular? I would say that would be a majority opinion. And you weren't even there to experience it and form your own opinion. Sad, sad Dog. |
| June 8, 2011 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Yes, John. We'll see if SSUSA will step up to the plate and address the issue which erupted during the heat of battle in Reno and will again until a clarifying decision is rendered. SSUSA needs to determine the meaning behind "no fielder shall attempt to 'intentionally' distract a batter", as well as help the umps learn specific rules regarding quick pitch, continuous motion and keeping the same foot on the rubber all the way through the delivery which would render illegal the switching of a pivot foot as Donny did repeatedly and jumping toward the mound before the release of the ball which he did a lot, too. Again, I don't care if they allow us to go to U-trip creativity and deception as long as everyone is on the same page and recognizes that more hot balls will go through the middle when pitchers are more distracting. Keep up the good work, John. You're the best of us and I hope to see you soon on the field. |
| June 8, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | it sounds to me you are scared of a pitcher that throws a ball,less than 25 mph.it is slow pitch softball,let the pitcher do whatever he wants,not like he is gonna blow it by you with a 95 mph fastball.if you feel the need to hit middle b/c of being fooled well i guess ........... |
