| The master's games are scheduled exclusively for Monday, which is a significant advantage for participants. This arrangement allows for a focused day of intense competition, providing ample opportunities for us older athletes to showcase their skills and strategies. Additionally, having all events concentrated on a single day maximizes attendance and excitement, creating a vibrant atmosphere that benefits everyone involved. Well done!

| It's important to acknowledge the value of receiving the schedule in advance, as it allows us to plan our games and family commitments more effectively. Having this information early enables us to allocate our time wisely, anticipate potential conflicts, and ensure that we can meet all required deadlines without unnecessary stress. This foresight not only enhances our ability to have guys on the diamond but also fosters a more organized and manageable playoff run.

| To the executive, thanks for everything you guys do. You run a great league. Thanks so much for arranging the playoff schedule, and posting it early. 1 question for you- In the 35+ and Masters round robin playoffs, is having a game off considered an advantage? Yes? No? I would think the guys get stiff and cold waiting around for a game. Shouldn't the higher seeds be rewarded with playing back-to-back games? Like below?
ie. 6:30 5 vs 4. 6 vs 3
8:00 4 vs 1. 3 vs 2
9:30 5 vs 1. 6 vs 2

| Perhaps instead of advocating to break up a bunch of friends those that feel the need to complain about us should take the lengthy off season to attend some of the off season training sessions that will help developing skills. Other wise let’s eliminate the playoffs and the competitive nature that is the uspl and just hand out participation ribbons night one and we can put out gloves in a pile at the mound and pick teams that way each night.

| As fall settles in, many of us turn our attention to familiar seasonal tasks—clearing the yard, checking the gutters, bringing in plants before the first frost. It’s a natural time to take stock, clear out what’s finished, and make room for what still holds promise.
Any gardener knows that when a plant outgrows its container, its roots can no longer spread, and its growth slows. To thrive again, it needs more space—more capacity. The same idea applies to you as an individual and your team. Get better over the winter months and be ready to challenge the champs in 26.

“What’s wrong with my swing?”
“Why did I get out?”
You should be thinking:
“You got lucky, get me up again!”
Always STAY POSITIVE and don’t overwhelm yourself mentally with negativity. Hitting can be brutal at times, but if you can’t stay in a positive state of mind, it can spiral downward out of control really quick!

| Hitting 1 time per week
Is delusional
Hitting a couple times per week
Is unacceptable
Hitting daily….Is your ticket for success

| If you love hitting
If you love the 1 v 1
If you love the battle
If you love to win
Then…
You should HATE strike outs.

| Loads of chatter about AGR, but additions may only be good on paper. They will lose more games than last year.
