In all reality, maybe Mimi should teach Amy the strike zone. Way to take one to the head for the team Amy. Now Mimi is lucky to have you on the team , did Mimi rub Luckys head ?
In addition to her horrible grip on the bat with her right hand that will break it if the balls hits there, she also appears to be squatting like a catcher to bunt. What’s up with that?
If Amy is to be successful sacrificing herself with a bunt, the bat barrel should be pointing up at a 45 degree angle to promote the ball downward to the ground. By bending her knees to pitch level, she can control the bunt.
At least we are getting some actual sports action in this story line…I can deal with the artwork not being perfect if we at least get sports in Gil Thorp! Now if we can just have a playdown run by SOME team at Milford. How many years since Thorp’s boys made it to the state tourney in Central City and stayed at Motel 7?

What’s that bunt sign? Looks like she’s putting the index finger from one hand into an ‘o’ formed by the thumb and forefinger of her other hand…

Mimi should have first asked Amy if she knew how to bunt.

This strip seems to be drawn by people who don’t play these sports. Her right hand is totally wrong.

Did she just take the pitch squarely to the head? I don’t see anything to indicate the ball was fouled off the bat.

I can’t tell if Mimi is signalling for a bunt in P2 or threatening to send Amy to the dungeon if she doesn’t get a hit.

Don’t softball players wear caps?

Decent form for a header, though. Maybe Amy is in the wrong sport.

Oowps, that was a bunt last week. kdizzle got it right. Mimmy signaled to “Take” it, like she takes it in the showers

Mimi was sending a message to her poolboy in the stands. Demonstrating what they will be doing after the game. Poor Amy will get the blame though.

You know who had good bunting form? Eddie Munster.

Reading is fundamental.
