This one surprises me. Why did they lower the max height? To be more consistent with other orgs? Or to get greater consistency among umpires?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

The SP Task Force really wanted this. Some RPL players supported this as they contend it is easier to change bats than adjust timing. It was presented as something the players prefer and would possible draw teams back to ASA.

This was one of four changes for which the task force seriously lobbied and I believe it was the only one they got sold.

Kinda wish ASA would have stood firm on allowing college players in the Gold.. but I guess that had to go.
