SSAA has started putting screens up and it is an out if you hit it...

Thanks to all you stupid fricken glass swinging cheaters out there, the biggest hole on the field has now been closed off due to a damn screen. If it hits any part of the screen it is an out. WTF!!! Let's just start playing fricken whiffle ball. I bet there won't be a 5 man down there now in any game. Would be stupid to have one seeing as how the middle is already closed with the screen.

I have been playing in savannah for years with a screen up and its not that wide so you can still shoot middle. That's where I hit 90% of my base hits.

last year you could use a screen if both teams wanted too, but if one team didn't then you wouldn't use the screen. Has this now changed...???

guess we will see on saturday...

He said that the complex has enough screens to cover all the fields now.

I remember the same

last year, we played in the e and never played one game with the screen, so i am not real sure what the deal is.

Damn thats alot of ball with no hrs, they should switch to the 52/275s and not use a screen. Atleast you could still play the game the way its supposed to be played.

When they are using those balls and those HR rules, the screen is like keeping a dog from biting by removing all of its teeth. It accomplishes the goal, but it's overkill and dumb as hell.

Lots of ghey in here. Can't they just mandate the pitcher to wear a helmet. Just my opinion.

Exactly. I have my Faceoff and a pair of shinguards just to feel comfortable. I mean, I can field it just fine, but there is always one or two that you just absolutely don't see. Fricken retarded.

Sounds like you would be a better director than the one making the rules.

I don't think it is like this in NC. I mean, he sat there and told me that it was because he had two pitchers almost die last year. I am sorry, but that is on HIM. He should change the fricken ball to a .52/275, or even a good .44/375 and get that damn screen out of the way. OR, use the .47/525, and go to metal. Not a hard concept.

agreed....just to note it's "up to" 47/525...but i think that is what they end up selling at the tourny...plus all you need to do is be over 50 to swing a senior stick

Yeah .. go ahead and blame it on 'the glass'.

You do realize that the manufacturers made bats that when fully broken in exceed said limits that are set by each association ? Swinging 'the glass' has changed the game no doubt about it. But, so has composite.


BTW ... hitting the screen if its not there is like hitting at the pitcher. He has a glove and increases your chances of getting out.

My advice .. don't hit the screen. Hit above the screen ..

IJS ...

Wow, what's next in the world of cheating? Grey hair dye and fake id's to be able to swing a legal shaved bat?

Yes he does have a glove, but there is room for human error. Not an automatic out. Also, I am a pitcher and it takes away the fact that I can turn a dp and get out of an inning instead of it being a DBO and them having another shot at starting a rally. We have played with .44/525's here locally in SSO (a local weekly organization) for the last 5 years, and guess how many pitchers have been seriously injured..... NONE. These are guys that hit it hard with no bat control, so it's not like your run of the mill normal E player.
