In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for September 16, 2022

He’ll still have time to make it to second base!!!

It’s time for either the first or second baseman to run (or walk) down the “runner” who has become a nonrunner.

I want to see if someone is “sprinting” from third to home while thes guys are focused on getting the runner out between first and second. I would love to see a suicide squeeze play from this club.

Ha! Straight to HOME!

What a shell game….hurry.

Turtle version of “monkey in the middle”?

I wonder if Ben considered what a turtle “run-down” would look like. Or snails, maybe.

Safe?

So – it looks like he is caught in a “crawl down?”

this is a pickle

He’s definitely in a pickle…..

I know that baseball is occasionally slow (and baseball purists are proud of that), but is there any kind of time limit on how long a rundown can go before it’s called on account of darkness?

You don’t see a left-handed turtle play 2nd base very often.
