Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 18, 2024

Henry knows what a “K” is in baseball/softball jargon. He’s finally doing some research!

She has allowed three runners to go home instead of taking them prisoner.

P4 “You don’t smell pretty anymore. I’m taking you out of the game.”

More inane broadcasting dialogue and backstory graphics today!

P1 Makes sense until you read P2,

P2 Not that only four strikeouts wouldn’t necessarily suggest Dotty Dubbs performance hasn’t been dominating. It just sounds underwhelming and incongruent with P1.

P3 See (bassackwards) graphics or dialogue box. Why is the announcer so excited about Dubbs? Shouldn’t Moon or Jackie be fawning over the Oakwood Mouskateer’s pitching instead? Is Coach Cami Toe relishing the opportunity to give Dotty the hook and enjoying the fact that Dotty knows it’s coming and is dreading it?

4 Ks and 3 runs through 6 innings is hardly dominant.

P4: “It’s OK, Dubbs. There’s the losers bracket, and the double losers bracket if you’re still not taking prisoners, and the triple losers bracket if…”

Strange time to want to have a talk…

The last prisoner Dubbs took was ToBe… until Leo showed her his totem pole.

AI is not ready to broadcast a sporting event yet. Or write a comic strip.

Even Peanut Thorp’s 0.751 BA isn’t enough to scratch a run.

P3.5- Dubbs fears Coach Toes next sentences. I’m pinch hitting for you. You couldn’t hit the ball if it was as big as a grapefruit. Wait. It is and you can’t.

WAP… grab some bench

Dotty looks like she was ridden hard and put away wet.

Wait, what? She’s taking no prisoners but she’s down 3-0???

P-4: Today, I’m going to tell you about Pooh Bear and the Honey Pot.

Yep. Time for Toe to get in Dubs head and screw her up.

dot if your going to the rez tonight can you pick me up a carton of newports ?

oakwood is winning but marty is talking like dot reigns supreme i hope you have enough money for a uber you lush

A lot of WAP-ing and FAP-ing going on in these games. Are “0” and “3” sentences? Just asking since they have periods after them. And speaking of periods, take a break for a short period and read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

im taking you out of the game can you go down the street and get me a corn dog

“Strike three! The batter is awarded a seat on the bench.”

I smell a rally. Ignited by Keri pitch hitting for Dotty. I know/

Tomorrow: Dubbs violates the Geneva Convention!

I can save you money on your car insurance.

When is Marty going to ask Inma about the crowd outside protesting ketchup on hotdogs?

Coach Toe wants to know why Dotty started wearing a mask (P1).

Yep. Toe gonna blame the anemic hitting on Dubs alone.

one chick hitting 0.751 but rest of team hitting below mendoza line explain

“And Jami Thorp is taking no prisoners here at the 37th Annual Milford Int’l D & D Round Robin Tournament!!!!!!! Could he be the MVP when the final dragon is brought out of the dungeon…”

Uhhhhh, yeah.
