Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 04, 2020

Since she’s apparently going to be around for awhile, can someone please tell me how to pronounce the catcher’s names? I read them as near homonyms: kuh-RIN-uh kuh-REN-uh. No joke, this name pisses me off more than anything Rubin has ever written. I get how coming up with interesting stories would be tough but this name choice is just an unforced annoyance.

I thought it was supposed to be a pun or a taker on the old song Corrina Corrina.

That was supposed to be take off on the old song

Well we got to MCC for a minute, but not to the pool to see the MILFs!!!

In all reality , is that little Kerry’s older sister practicing in P 2 ?

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

The blue shirt in the color version tells me he went to Wake For What, not Wake Forest. That’s not a Demon Deacon look. And Tru(e) is going to show Gil his new rise pitch. His agent HvB is going to make him softball’s new King. He’ll be pitching from second base by tomorrow.

P1, The Thorp kids don’t make that in a year between them.

P2, I’ve got the place.

P3, So Corina is a smartass just like Boo. Tru(e) is already smitten.

P-2: That young lady must have an unusual golf teacher. She turns her upper body while facing the fairway with her legs together. or she’s the daughter of a young girl I dated in HS.

P1- How many times since her introduction has Corina Karenna’s full name been mentioned? R & W don’t want us to forget Mimi’ s catcher for the upcoming 1986 Milford softball season.

P2- Time? Because of his penchant for abandoning kids, Gil has nothing but time to kill.

P3- ……no, I went to college for the all you can eat buffet, err, training table. Have you seen the shower facilities here? Top notch! Top notch!

She has a good point…True is kinda stupid if he thinks that his 13th round status is really worth a rehab stint as well as paying her 20$/hr.

P 4: “….I hope that you’re wearing a cup…”

P-1: Tru bases his offer on what Hookers in Minor league cities charge

P-3: Ah, the suspense! Will she still be able to work after Hi comes home and she has to return is Catcher’s Glove?

This is going to end badly

“Ha, ha, OK, let’s call it $15 per hour.”

P 2.5: “…plus, for some odd reason, Mimi told me not to worry about coming home so soon anyway …”

So seriously here, is there some meaning to why the guy is named Tru(e) Standish? Is that supposed to mean something

P1 – “I’ve never hired a catcher before.” Is that some slang talk I’ve never heard before used by escort services?

P2 – Gil should have answered, “We’ve got the beer….Miller Beer!”

P3 – Tru(e) displays that intellect that almost drove him (literally) to Hawaii. And what is he holding, a golf ball? Corina is going to have a hard enough time with catching a baseball.

And speaking of catching, how about catching today’s episode of Mopped Up Thorp? Surprise plot twist!

So is True going to throw for 5 hours and slip her a C Note? He going to be on the rehab circuit for a long time if he keeps that up. His arm will be hanging.

CK is either wearing Hi’s glove backwards on the wrong hand or she found the elusive left-handed catchers mitt my Little League coach was looking for back in the early 60’s. I coulda been the first Mike Piazza!
