ASA & Bats

It's not right to change the rules and standards mid season. Players, teams and manufacturers have made financial commitments based on published standards from the ASA that each bat had to meet prior to 2003.

I'm not saying some bats dont need to go....lets just manage this one season at a time.

If you want to ban composites, double walls, bombats and 50% of the single walls for next year fine.

Just one ASA managers opinion.

You are posting on the wrong board. ASA did NOT change the rules, the manufacturers violated them. Period! End of story. Well, at least until the new standards are set next month

The anticipated changes are a direct result of PLAYER complaints. Not the commissioners, directors, umpires or reps, but the PLAYERS!

And it would be litigious suicide to declare something "unsafe" and not eliminate it immediately. I don't know how many times I can answer this question without getting sarcastic. If you think it's too late for that, just continue to argue the point
