"Time Out!" "Rat...You beaned that guy in the head." "I know. I was sending a message." "But he's the eighth straight guy you've beaned in the head." "I tend to be wordy."
Proof that Rat is actively trying to murder Zebra: Days before, we learn that Rat bet Zebra’s life on this game, and now he has hit eight consecutive batters. For those who aren’t in to baseball, a player hit by a pitch (HBP) advances to 1st base automatically. Three HBPs would set up runners on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base. The 4th-8th HBPs would drive in one run (point) each. So Rat is letting the Crocs score 5 runs in one single inning while still leaving the bases loaded, (runners on all the bases) and getting no outs. I have NO IDEA why I’m still friends with him. Maybe I should just never leave my house.
