2013 Season! (Roster/Fees - posts #30/#31 ... ** last minute changes - roster down to 12 **)

[valpocrewsader]

Gentlemen... The rec department has sent out the league/renewal information for the 2013 season. We have until mid-February to sign up. Do we have enough interest again this year? Since I know many of you will not see this post, I'll try to get the word out via text in the coming days. Roll call...

I would love to make a triumphant return to the battlefield! Or drink some beer...

[radman12484]

Yeah I'll play.

[Houlie24x]

Beeks and I will be back. I would be surprised if Al didn't return, but he is out of town right now and not responding to texts. Nick said he isn't playing.

[Houlie24x]

I forgot to mention, I love that I don't have to see the title, "Beeks you aren't this tough" every time I log on the bf.net.

 

Al will be back for sure.

Kenny! Awesome, welcome back!

don't?

[Houlie24x]

You might be right. I got the title wrong anyways, so maybe I didn't see it enough.

Any interest in getting together somewhere this Saturday night? Make an appearance at White House? If not this weekend, we'll have to do something one of these upcoming weekends...

[Houlie24x]

I'm in. Beeks is in Madison for the day, Al is a maybe.

[valpocrewsader]

Since interest is low and I've had some other things come up for this weekend, let's postpone and put something together for another time.

[bball123h]

Just saw that... I'm out this weekend, but definitely up for something next weekend if folks are around.

[nullbyte]

In, of course!

[valpocrewsader]

I got confirmation from DRick and Schubert, so we have a pretty good start. Renewal is due by the middle of this week, I'll get that done and report back.

Al is playing for sure. John said he plans on playing and we are waiting to hear back on Aaron.

[Houlie24x]

Aaron will be returning.

[radman12484]

Aaron will be returning.

 

Wow Houle. Are you that excited that Aaron is coming back you had to post it twice?

[Houlie24x]

It was my first post on my phone. I guess it didn't work out.

I want to return. I hadn't checked the softball forum in a while. I hope to convert my gritty veteraness from roster invite to starting a critical position in a playoff game.

Glad to have you back, robin19!

Below is latest look at the roster. 12 guys is just about perfect, but it wouldn't hurt to have one or even two more.

Also, I attended annual manager's meeting last week. It sounds like they're planning to implement a mat system for the strike zone, and even plan to expand the zone by including the plate and making the mat behind the plate wider than the plate itself. They will also be doing bat compression testing again this year ... they said something about changing the threshold slightly, but I didn't catch whether that made the test more strict or less strict ... it sounded like a minor change either way.

 

I think that's it for important stuff. We also got our schedule, which I'll post in a separate thread.

[Houlie24x]

Do we want an extra player? I know someone that would play pending the results of a x-ray tomorrow.

[valpocrewsader]

What does everyone else think? 13 guys means potential for 3 on the bench for half a game if everyone shows. IMO, I'm in favor of it to cover absences and late arrivals, or even if someone backs out on the team at the last minute. It also lowers everyone's cost by a few bucks. So, I say yes, conditional on anyone else's thoughts.
