    Don’t most baseball people go from first base around to third when describing the infield? Gil is trying to trick Marty into a version of “Who’s On First.”

    Why is Gil reaching out to choke Marty for asking a simple question?

    Pete “Run Like” De Windt must be versatile, playing tight end and shortstop. Who’s with Max “Just hit me the damn ball” Ortiz in the outfield? Chip, GilPa is defending himself since Marty intends to tase him.

    This seems like another ‘boy meets girl’ storyline.

    p1 is Carrie trying to kiss or bit her ear? What is with the bald spot on the kid who appears to be paying attention in class while these two queens are talking softball..

    P1, Well, you better be ready to pitch for us. No pressure.

    P2, And I’m eager to see you sober Marty. Guess neither one of us is getting our wish.

    I’m certainly glad to see Young Master Bader back. I wonder who’s going to kill him first, BKB or Book ’em Cano?

    And as a bonus, MUT will practically write itself whenever Young Master Bader is featured. Maybe that’ll give MOPMAN the break he needs to keep the strip going. Win, win!

    P-1: Is she talking about self improvement or is Carrie a hooker?

    P-2: So the coach admits he hasn’t seen the new kid either. Gil, if you’re not going to show up for games, at least so up for practice.

    P-3: It’s a progressive approach to baseball. None of those kids have positions. They’re just around the infield.Oh, and Marty, nice Flip Phone or is it an electric razor?

    Lots going on in MILFord!!!!! Spring is clearly in the air with the girls team, Gils pants seem to be of the same material as the outfield walls and Spawn of Bader is sure to be the wild card! My moneys on the girls team!

    As a ‘reverse’ from Mad and using a snappy questions to respond to stupid statements format the options for Gil in panel two are: A. I have a left handed pitcher? B. How do I tell he’s left handed? C. Tell me Otis how much longer before you turn yourself in?

    I guess with that pitching staff there’s no need for outfielders

    Has Carrie Hobson ever pitched a game other than the one that Milford lost 12-2 back on June 27 last year? If not, let’s hope she went to lots of camps and clinics last summer. Oh wait, there wasn’t a summer last year, since softball season ran all the way into fall. Too bad, Carrie.

    Perhaps Gil should coach the team to keep their eyes open while playing…not sure how the guy in P2 caught the ball. It looks the size of a golf ball, so that should make it easier to catch.

    Ah, the old just casually run through the starting lineup for the opener in normal conversation. Happens every time. And speaking of happening, Mopped Up Thorp is happening right now, right here: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
