Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 08, 2021

Your pitcher serves up a tape measure shot, and THAT’s the first question out of your mouth? (Me, I’d ask when my team colors changed to lime green and black, but eh, that’s me.)

Moon must have lost the tips of his fingers to a loan shark collecting on his gambling debts.

“Gonna need a visa to catch this one.”

P2 Is that a meteor in the middle of the day??? What’s with the new road uniforms, pretty ugly!!

Time for CK to come out of the stands to catch and start calling this game.

Rubin pulls out another former Detroit HS – the Crockett Rockets.

Looks like Marty’s already spilled margarita on his shirt. A little Easter egg from R&W?

Nice coaching Gil. Nice coaching Kaz.

So what should he throw him then Kaz? A fastball perhaps?

Does Marty have the budget to travel and broadcast road games??? How many people besides the players parents listen to HS baseball. Another nice press box though. And a nice day

re panel #3 2 coaches for HS baseball? wearing uniforms of a totally different color than the players?. does that mean they have umptyleven coaches for football?

On a different note, why do baseball coaches(from HS thru MLB) wear a baseball uniform? They don’t in any other sport

P1, More big hands but where’s Marty’s sippy cup?

P2, That ball got hit so far it sailed over the fence on the next field over and the outfielder for the mystery team has to stop and admire the shot.

P3, Looks like Insane Zane had another long hard night at the library.

1975 Vanderbilt baseball called and wants their unis back!

The Milford boys stole the Finney girls’ uniforms! No wonder they wanted to go to the game!

P3.5 what do you say we skip this s**t show, head back to the showers and get the loofahs moistened up?

Interesting…you got the all red home unis and lime green black for the away grays. Maybe it’s throwback day…

In all reality , please don’t forget Mom tomorrow on Mother’s Day .

So when is Gil gonna give up on this stupid experiment and put Zane in the position he deserves (left out)?

Still no shiny floor. Mopman Held Hostage: Day 24.

Who does Crockett have on their team, Aaron Judge? A freaking 450’ homer (Gil’s estimate was way off) for a high school kid on a curve ball? Someone should be already offering that kid a pro contract.

These color screwups are really getting annoying now. Lime green for Milford? The hair color changes were one thing. But this, after Zane’s shirt changing color and style yesterday? Speaking of style, one thing that will never go out of style is Mopped Up Thorp.

Don’t worry, Gil’s on top of this. All he has to do is to do absolutely nothing like last time and Zane will magically make all the adjustments.

P2: The outfielder watches in relief as the Chinese rocket will miss the field.
