Slow Pitch Softball rule change
GA's response to the last post about slow pitch made me remember to post something that i meant to a couple weeks ago.
I know this board has a ton of slow pitch guys on it so i thought it was appropriate...Did anybody else here about the national slow pitch rule change this year??? You can now steal bases...and no i am not joking. The rule states that second and 3rd base can now be stole once the ball crosses the plate. How frickin' "un-beer league" is this rule????
Now it should be noted that not all leagues are required to adopt it. Rumors in Lincoln is that A, B, and C leagues will use it but that it won't be allowed in the lower leagues, so you will have to check your league to see if it applies.....BUT, I hate it, just doesn't seem right to me.
However i will say, i just had a vision of npgage trying to steal second and ended up chuckling out loud here at my desk for good 8 minutes.

Yeah, this was the talk of our board a couple weeks ago:

The number of pulled groins, sprained ankles and blown knees will at least double.
I think this sounds like a bad idea. It not only takes away from the roots of the game, but it gives those way-too-competitive 30 and 40 somethings one more thing to take too seriously and get all roid-raged about.
Besides it way more pressure on the catcher. It effectively eliminates the one spot that you could hide a below-average player.

This is a disaster. I'm officially calling anyone who steals a base a huge d-bag. Softball isn't for hustling.
Hustling? Christ, do you know how easy it would be to steal a base in slow-pitch softball? You would only have to jog to get there.
