When Gregg takes the mound he’ll be required to carry a white cane and go out with a seeing eye-dog… Actually, that should scare the hell out of the batter.
P4- Here’s the plan Gregg. There’s a reason Little League teams put their worst defender in right field, so that’s where we will spot play you. Don’t worry, there are plenty of 3 leaf clovers out there and our biggest booster Wildcat can watch you from his 3rd floor penthouse suite.
I think I predicted what the doctor would say the other day. He will have to wear the caged facemask like the girls’ softball team. Should be a few around since there was no team this year. Hence his complaint.
I will be stunned, absolutely STUNNED if the doctor’s suggestion is even remotely believable. In anticipation of the big reveal, I’m already starting to fire up the flamethrower. And speaking of fire up, I hope you’re fired up to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
If her grand solution is to wear a caged helmet, she’s still getting the flamethrower. How about him not even be able to see the plate? Potentially beaning multiple opponents? Getting hit in the chest, neck, groin by a line drive? Getting beaned himself when he’s in the batter’s box trying to raise his .000 batting average?

Whatever Gil and Doc’s solution is, this kid is way overplaying his hand with “No Way”. Take it or leave it kid.

If Gil is sympathetic, he’s hidden it well.

Gregg will be allowed to throw batting practice with a screen in front of him like they do in the big leagues.

We’ll move the SS and 2B up to be right next to you, or you can pitch from 2nd Base. Your choice.

After you throw the ball, run over to the dugout.

We’ll dig a little trench behind the mound. After each pitch you dive down into the trench.

Actually, Gil, your job also includes winning games, which is hard to do when your pitcher is blind.
