Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 17, 2024

P1 looks like she’s sending it to the infield worms, and I don’t mean Valley Tech’s players.

WAM, PING, POW…I think I ordered that at the Chinese restaurant.

So all the bats make different sounds?!?

P4: Marty: “Rumor has it Keri’s gone past third several times…with Pedro Martinez… more on the Podcast.”

Hey Marty, instead of the lame “Can the Mudlarks score”, how about telling us how many outs there are? Or which player is batting and how has she done so far today? Where’s the infield playing?

Can’t speak for the rest of the Mudlarks, but we know Keri Thorp can score.

So what some are alluding, Keri knows how to handle the lumber, err, she’s good with the stick, err she knows her way around the pipe, err….

Of course they’ll score. They never lose.

The “pow” on Marty’s shack is some associates of Vito knocking to ask for a donation.

Wow, looks like another big payday for Vito. All of those prop bets I listed yesterday were losers. Thanks, suckers! Today’s options will be simpler:

Milford wins 3-1

Milford loses 3-1

We switch to baseball for a while before the result 3-1

Wow- this is a lot of action. They should rename this strip “Softball”… or at least for the last two days.

This isn’t a softball game, it’s a Batman and Robin fight.

wam bam thank you mam

ping pong gong get it on

dotty at the plate catcher gets distracted by the pretty smell passed ball unknown mudlark races home

Again with the inverted score 0-1

That’s a pretty darn good hit considering that she’s batting lefty from the righty batters box.

P2- Alex, I’ll take “Things a play-by-play announcer would never say” for $400.

Slow roller, could be. One hopper, maybe. Two hopper, perhaps. Slow hopper, what the hell is that? Might work for rabbits or grasshoppers.

I think Mopped Up Thorp is up and no one has been able to post about it.

Don’t blame me for that puddle around home plate. This game is at VT. And speaking of blame, I don’t blame you if you’ve been anxious waiting around all day for today’s Mopped Up Thorp to be published.
