    P2 that’s because the ball came from P1 and she never saw it!!!

    Unless ball is moving at snail’s pace, P2 looks like one of the earliest swings on record.

    P1, Beastie Boy is also a beastly fielder.

    P2, I can see why.

    P3, Um, why is the infield green? (Color version.) I thought this was a softball field.

    The Milford the boys team isn’t hitting much either, since apparently they’re not playing much

    Neal and Rod get sly with P3 commentary. I searched for bad boy Arthur Fonzarelli since a chopper was mentioned. Alexa Watson hasn’t been in gear since she was introduced. It’s time in this storyline for Fonzie to waterski.

    P-1: Outfielder Maxwell Smart misses by “that much”.

    P-2: No wonder they aren’t hitting. Someone should tell that young lady to use the side of the bat, not the end.

    P-3: So you’re accusing Alexa of being an idler until now.

    Prediction, in a race to the bag, 1st Base-person (LOL), Alexa, either pulls her hamstring or gets run over causing Coach Mimi to administer some TLC in the locker room while “the band played on”… Oh, and the ball rolls into the outfield while both VT players score to tie the game. (cue suspenseful music)

    Alexa, turn off this story arc.

    Alexa uses her aggressiveness developed from shoving unaware people around in the school hallway to knock the base runner out as she reaches the bag

    Good to see R&W rented a helicopter to get that shot in P3.

    P1 – So the juveniles have no equipment, had to borrow helmets, gloves, etc., but they have a fungo bat? Too bad the Benston Boys fan can’t catch.

    P2 – That must have really stung when the bat slammed into the divider between panels. But why are they using a hardball in this game?

    P3 – I love when they use traditional baseball play-by-play talk. I can fondly remember hearing Ernie Harwell use those words, “Ground ball to the right side, that will put Norm Cash into gear…”

    And speaking of gear, gear up to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

    I still don’t understand, after all these years, why the girls don’t wear caps or visors in the field. But there are certainly heavier issues I still don’t understand after all these years so I guess it doesn’t matter that much but if anyone has an opinion I’d welcome it. Also, can anyone remember the last time we saw the Thorp kids? It’s been five years, that’s all we’ve got, that they’ve been missing. At least five years hasn’t it been?

    Alexa is holding her mitt way too high off the ground. Mimi’s lack of coaching will cost them here, as Alexa pulls a Bill Buckner and ignites a VT rally, losing the game.

    Milford High sends in spies to get footage of the Mayor’s team practicing.

    P1: The fielder happily hums Fungoe Jerry’s classic hit, “In The Summertime”.

    P2: The batter swings at the ball when it’s being thrown back to the pitcher by the catcher.

    P3: Alexa assumes the position and gears up for her turn at bat. She’s hoping that she gets a long, hard one. A hit, that is.
