Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 06, 2023

more like throw anything you can…

Probably for the best, 11 fingers would be hard to achieve.

Schroeder. Buddy. How many of those 17 pitches can Charlie Brown actually throw with any measure of competency?

The purpose of that meeting was to throw off the other team.

Fifteen fingers? You gonna call in the shortstop?

Let’s be honest, Schroeder. We all know that Charlie Brown only has one pitch that he can throw—the slow straight ball that gets slugged all over the field by the opposing hitters.

What has 18 legs and catches flies?

A baseball team!

Pitchers never bring full-sized sandwiches to the game, only sliders.

I’ve followed baseball for over 50 years and never heard of a pitch called a “duster”. Must have been more common in an earlier era.

It’s not like the outcome of the game would’ve changed anyway.

How many fingers is a spitball?

“Throw anything you want”…and that’s the problem, Schroeder!

Of course they use signals to convince the other team Charlie Brown knows what he’s throwing.

That’s a lot of fingers for pitches!

That’s what the dude standing behind the catcher is for — extra fingers.

Back in the day before time clocks, pitchers would sometimes “shake off” a pitch if they disagreed on which kind of pitch is to be thrown. In one case, a pitcher shook off every pitch suggested by the catcher. The catcher called time and met with the pitcher on the mound. “What are you doing?” “I’m hoping it will start raining before I have to throw the next pitch.”

AAUGH!! You don’t even have that many fingers!

I am wondering if baseball will continue to change their rules. We now have quite a number of players from various countries and for them English is not their primary language. Do you think they’ll allow interpreters for those on the mound conferences?

Quite the repertoire you have there CB.

Throw anything you can.

That would’ve been my next suggestion

I think Linus is giving CB credit for being able to throw more than 1 pitch…

Was Schroeder being sarcastic?

Go all through that then say throw what you want.

Try replacing the battery.

just get it over plate

for 21, will he be using toes?

I vaguely remember what an “upshoot” is. . . .

That’s a better idea.

If he has all those pitches, I’m surprised he doesn’t have a better win-loss record. To my recollection they lose nearly all their games.

Glad he decided to change it to, throw anything …………….. had me lost after three fingers ………… :)

May as well. CB still loses

“Throw Anything You Want” is just the middle finger.

Just give him the finger and be done…

He was almost ready to take off his shoes.

As if it would make a difference….

A pitcher that can throw seventeen pitches! Highest paid employee in the history of employment!!
