Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for September 02, 2022

Baseball is quite batty.

It took him 3 hours to get the beers.

The pitcher waved off so many signs that the catcher has wind burn on his glutes.

I think the pitcher’s a sloth.

I remember the days when a batter was up for a long time….boring

that is why is stopped watching baseball 20 years ago.

I did watch Banaland baseball on ESPN and that was better. Some of the Rules:

Batter cannot step out of the box

If a Fan catches a foul ball the batter is out

a 2 hour time limit on the game

Another shell game.

Baseball 2022.. It’s about the commercials.

Today’s game – the Sloths versus the Slow Lorises. Most of the scores are made on balks.

Same batter after a beer run..? I’d suggest that, yes, indeed, he DID miss something along the lines of an epic battle over home plate…

Oh, yeah. That’s baseball, all right!

A lot of foul balls!

Great game for turtles and sloths.

This is why I stopped watching baseball several years ago.

My wife “loves” baseball, my elder son is a football fanatic, my younger son is into “soccer” in a big way.

As long as they all know how to operate the “mute” button, I’m okay with their enthusiasm – I prefer a good book, myself. At least none of them subject their friends & neighbors to the ultimate boredom that is watching golf, though I do approach it occasionally by sitting in the back yard and watching “grass” grow.

Must be a Red Sox game. :)

And yet baseball is a quick study compared to cricket!

This is why foul balls should always count as strikes

Putting turtles in there is just overkill.

“Giants first baseman Brandon Belt made history on April 22, 2018 …, when he worked a 21-pitch at-bat during San Francisco’s 4-2 win over the Angels in Anaheim.”

Sad but true.

Even for turtles, baseball is a slow game.
