“WAK!”? Don’t bunts go more like “Clink”?

Rookie mistake by Kaz, broken fingers on a foul tip.

are we back to the baseball arc again? And what the heck was yesterdays strip? A story intermission?

This isn’t really trivia, it’s just records you can look up on Baseball Reference. Try “Who was killed by a pitch?” Or “How did Ed Delahanty die?”

Not you, since it appears that this one will bounce foul before it reaches first base.

In all reality , nobody cares if you can bunt, and after watching your bunt attempt , it’s apparent you can’t !

Is Scooter working to perfect his bunt launch angles?

P 4: “…Sorry Scooter… no one does any better than 2nd in the Valley here…”

As Wildcat Maris looks on from his Maris Industries 3rd story suite behind the right field wall of venerable Milford Park, he contemplates a season of small ball verses warning track power. Kaz’s sideburn is like this developing story. Scruffy.

It’s not a perfect bunt if one is hitting the bottom third of the ball, as he is doing. He should be hitting the top half of the ball.

Let’s go ’Larks! Bunting their way to second in the Valley.

Who will lead the Valley in imperfect bunts?

Don’t bring a knife to school to cut your bundt cake.

In honor of this pending storyline, Dr. Minnie Pearl has instructed Janitor Steve Luhm to hang bunting on front of Milford HS. The exasperated beatnik wannabe prefers to pull mop up duty.

With his jaw guard on the wrong side I would throw him a fast ball up and in. “Scooter, what is chin music?”

In all reality , who holds the Major League record for getting hit with a pitch the most times in their career , Scooby-Doo ? It’s Scooter coach ,good question , Anyone , Anyone !

Most games played by a MLB second baseman was by Eddie Collins, followed by the better know Joe Morgan.

If he WAKs the ball when bunting, if he ever connects on a full swing he’ll probably break the sound barrier. And speaking of connecting, make sure you are connecting to the internet so that you can read today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.

I guess he can always claim that “record” at the end of the year because nobody on any team is keeping track of “perfect bunts”. Bunts maybe, but there isn’t a panel of judges flashing scores after one is attempted.

Chicks love the short ball

Don’t much about 2nd Basemen, but I know it was a 3rd Baseman that scored four errors in a single play.
