Watch out! That ball will be showing up behind you any moment now.

I especially love this today! Well done!

Sure coach! You be the catcher!

Fachcka? That’s a new sound effect.

Somebody’s tombstone has been destroyed!!

Could this be called a Spit-Ball?

Ok, who’s the catcher?

Playing bowlingbaseball eh.

Impossible to bat his pitches.

Whomever draws the short straw has to play Catcher.

The White Sox could really use him.

Who’s gonna catch?!

But who’s gonna catch?

They’ll have to use Unobtainium for a Back-Stop…

I guess that was the fast ball….the curve should be something!!!!!

but who’s going to catch?

I wouldn’t argue with him. Let him pitch if he wants to.

Now the true question who will they sucker into being the catcher?

And who’s going to catch?

Wait’ll you see his knuckleball.

I wonder whose crazy enough to try to catch for him!

I just learned that the prehistoric landscape was covered in upright stones, no taller than the average caveman.

He is in a league of his own.

“What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light?”

Substitute periods for spaces:

what-if xkcd com/1/

Good call. Now who’ll be stupid enough to catch?

Are you kidding me? His arm should be registered as a Lethal Weapon

Who’s going to be the catcher? Stand in the way of that for 27 pitches? Not me.

Look out for the batter, wind burn; the catcher, tramatic impact; the umpire for secondary impact and tv crew.

Just don’t give Grog any chewing tobacco

“I don’t want to be catcher, anymore.”

Makes me think of Real Genius

It’s Mad, I say, pitchers pitching at pitchers.

About 290 MPH?

I pity the poor catcher.

Oh my. Did no one think of the catcher?

The Fachcka onomatopoeia would definitely go better with the third panel featuring the tombstone.

The last time I saw a situation like this, Herman Munster was trying out for the LA Dodgers. As I recall, he didn’t make the cut, partly because the other players feared severe injury, and partly because of the destruction he caused on the field. Our friends here could take a lesson.

My favorite sound effect is Kaskoosh, from Snuffy Smith and his moonshine still exploding….
