Sucking up to the kid. Questionable tacticts.

Those Goshen girls are mean. I thought girls were better sports than boys, but probably I’m kidding myself.

Maybe Dinny’s dad is the dad, the hair is a dead give away.

The home team riding Darby Kiser is how she got in this predicament in the first place.

P1: Goshen wears their traditional 1979 tube socks. It appears Darby has not “sent a message” yet to the Goshen batters. That Amazonian ump from a couple of weeks ago is probably working the game. What could go wrong with BB & Dinty Moore playing with Lil’ Dinkums?

“Need a stroller”? Thats al they got?

Ballplayer? Look at that kid. It’s obvious the only game he plays is “How many fries can I stuff in my mouth?”

yes, really lame taunt. Guess this strip doesn’thave time for the opposing fans to lay into Darby. Then it could get brutal. And more interesting.

Oh, you’re aunt has a spare? So social services took the kid?

That player from Goshen obviously hasn’t taken a look at Jaxon. Her aunt better have heavy duty industrial strength strollers if she has a spare that’s going to work for that kid.

Having a child while going to school plus playing ball can be difficult.

Lamest taunt ever. What’s next, “Hey pitcher, do you need baby wipes? There;s a sale on them at Walmart!”

Kid’s got a “666” tattoo.

What’s the next taunt – "We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher !’?

I’m with @Morgil Ravenswing. Apparently this softball game does not have any coaches at all. That kind of taunting would be shut down pretty quick at a high school game.

On the other hand, it’s not wrong if it is hilarious. So on that point, the Goshen player needs to work on her game.

Softball + Jaxon = Baby teeth knocked out

@xianprof, my daughters aren’t that far removed from high school, and they say girls in their experience are plenty mean but are much more subtle about it. Instead of yelling taunts at Darby, they would be more likely to make snide or passive-aggressive comments in the postgame handshake line.

Jaxson my sweet a55! That kid is Dondi.

Santa Claus could come up with a better ‘dig’ just by being jolly. ;-)

Yeah. Those two aren’t being creepy at all.
