Marty’s looking a little Charlie Manson-ish, nice teeth though.Anybody else notice the preponderance of former catcher’s on this comment board? Something in that, I think.
I thought a thrown ball was dead when it hit a baserunner. Since the ball did not change trajectory, would Luckey have been out if the first baseman had caught it on the ricochet? If Luckey had been knocked unconscious, could the right fielder have thrown him out at first while he (Luckey) was out cold in the baseline?
“Bonk?” I was hoping for “Krak,” but I guess it would have had to actually hit his head, not the helmet. And yeah, kdizzle, another former catcher here.
Hey, the ’Larks locked up 2nd place! Gil keeps his job for another (yawn) year.
Ball would be dead if he would have been in fair territory when hit with thown ball and if the umpire had called him out for interference. Ball is also dead when a baserunner in fair territory is hit by a batted ball. Otherwise ball remains in play. Naturally we would have preferred a gigantic shot over the fence or aocket down the line for the game-winner, but for us, this is as good as it is ever going to get. Time to hang another 2nd place banner in the gym.
Gil is shocked to find out he’s not coaching in the Group Stage of the World Cup. Sometimes 2nd is good enough. I never played catcher, but I did play a sport where you’re supposed to hit the ball with your head.
Under Rule 7.09(j) of the Official Baseball Rules, it is interference by a runner when he INTENTIONALLY interferes with a thrown ball. The penalty is that the runner is out and the ball is dead — so neither run would have scored. It doesn’t look intentional in P1, but that’s for the umpire to decide.
Nobody commented on the puddle? Hello, what am, I chopped peacock? Or was my post too long to read? :)Tomorrow we will see a quick wrap-up with Amy (no closure on the softball team) and then it’s off to the Milford CC on Monday.Well, Mopped Up Thorp got out of control today, but a new cameo from one of our own so it can’t be all bad.
Here it is late June and Gilford and Kaz continue to wear their coaching jackets like it’s March. The shower is becoming a favorite prop in MUT whether we like it or not. O.K. GilPa fans, keep this 1980’s jingle out of your heads….“A sprinkle a day helps keep odor away. Have you had your sprinkle today?” Shower to Shower.
NOW are we ready to go to MCC where Gil slices and three-putts while Mimi supervises the new pool boy while asking herself “DIdn’t I have any children?”
So who’s going to show up in Milford this summer with a problem only Gil can solve? Oh please, oh please, writers, let it be me! I can have a disease or be an alcoholic or be missing a limb if I must. Anything to return to the Milfordian spotlight and escape the tedium of my life as a doctor’s wife in Central City.
In all reality, heard on the street that this summer in Miford Bitsy Twill will becoming back to defend her Freckle Queen crown against a serious challenge by Amy at the Milford Counrty Fair.
I think 3 blank panels every day until Labor Day would suit most of our needs for a “story”. Call it the Summer Blizzard of 14. However, that would not meet our needs for commenting, which are great. Most of us would in reality find daily fault in the blank panels as well, pointing out things only we can see or understand in them.

You’d think such a loud BONK! would change the ball’s trajectory but it just keeps sailing towards the crazed Moon’s temple.

Well, I did say he’d get beaned — this is just a more unconventional way than most!

Hmmm…….a concussion story line coming up? Nah.
I was a catcher, too.

As a former second baseman, I can tell you that I never would have made a throw like that.

You are commentor of the day for your correct prediction! Prize is a cameo in MUT. Any requests?

In all reality, in P3 what is that thing between Luckys legs ?

You were wrong desertdwir. You said “conked” on the head, and he was “bonked”! Better luck next time. Now Amy can kiss his head and make it better.

We’re # 2! We’re # 2! This whole story line is full of # 2. Root beer on Lucky, drinks on Marty, Gil to the country club.
