Wilson and Scooter receive signals from bench: Wilson fakes to pitcher; Scooter yells, "Slider low ân away.â âHeater high ân tight.â Who needs stinkinâ trash cans?
It will take the Houston Astros, Tod Andrews and other rival coaches about two minutes to figure this one out. Mudlark Stadium about to become a driving range.
P1 Arenât you being just a little bit paranoid Gregggg? Is every opposing coach and player in the Valley hanging out at the Copywrite Cafe spying on Milfordâs #2 starter? Definitely a stellar idea moving to the parking lot outside and acting out how youâll get the signals while all the inquiring minds in the shop slurp their latteâs and watch you and Eli work it out
This farce has all the drama (and none of the talent) of a Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney inspired âHey gang, letâs put on a show!â as a means of solving a crisis. Greggg would be better off only throwing that knee buckling curveball. Most high school hitters can eventually time a fastball but a mean Uncle Charlie is tougher to track.
If Gregg doesnât like the call, he shakes off Scooter, who in turn shakes off Wilson, who starts the process over. Good thing the pitch clock hasnât started.
Oh, better leave the coffee shop! There are spies everywhere that would love to get this secret intel about the Milford student with bad vision! And is it really necessary for Scooooter to demonstrate how a catcher gives signs? I think they all already know that.
Yeah, the predictions that seemed dumb are coming true. This plan is foolproof, Scooooter will just yell what pitch to throw to Gregggg. No way anyone will crack that code. Talk about forcing conflict/story. Gillll is going to kick him off the team if he finds out? Sooooo dumb.
And speaking of dumb, todayâs Mopped Up Thorpppp is ready for your approval/disproval.
Simple solution, all Milford needs to do is to purchase the âPitchCom Pitcher Catcher Communication Deviceâ â an electronic device for catchers to signal pitches in an effort to eliminate sign stealing and speed games. Teams can have up to 5 players wear the receiving devices and it is virtually impossible to hack. For some reason there hasnât been much publicity, but MLB is allowing this technology for games this season. Milford could afford this, all Gil has to do is raise the price on his State Champion Coach memorabilia by 5% and itâs easily covered.
After all of the crazy plotlines with kids believing in magical peacocks, dressing in Coke box bikinis, and falling under the thrall of Aussie tattoo artists, canât everyone just suspend disbelief about the existence of a kid whose eyesight isnât correctable to 20/20 even WITH glasses? I canât believe that THIS is the plot point people are unwilling to accept. /rant

Iâm sorry, what?? Thereâs only ONE signal? And then what happens? Scooter yells, âHEY GREGG, WILSONâS HAND IS ON HIS LEGâ?? Great plan.

Is the pitcher legally blind? Still no explanation on why he canât wear glasses on the mound.
âBut you can still feel!â Scooter exclaimed.
âWhat the heck are you talking about?â
âIâll send the signals to you in Braille!â

Great plan Eli, what happens if you are benched or injured and not on the field?

P4 Blue vehicle on Wilsonâs right, fastball, blue vehicle on Wilsonâs left, curveâŠ

A clue to plot development. Greggg has better than average hearing so Scooter pounds his fist in his glove once, fastball. Twice, curve.

WHERE is he going to be? Is he just going to shout? P.S. Most high school players donât have enough skill to throw the ball any different.

Aside from reading the signals, isnât a blind pitcher a bit of a problem?

Is the woman in the parking lot gray-haired Greggâs wife?

Somehow, this plan reminds me of Garrett Morris and his translation of the news for the hearing impaired on the original SNL.

Opening Day: Our favorite Radio announcer says âThe infield is really in tight. The Second baseman is almost up to the Pitcherâs Mound.â

I wonder how long it will take for Pranit to figure out that he should bet against Milford on the days when Gregg is pitching?
