Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for April 09, 2023

You don’t have to invite him in. He’s close enough to hear everything y’all say.

And remember you’re being timed now!!

That would be really interesting to me to see. I am a fan, and baseball has rules for seemingly everything. I would love to find out what the umpire’s ruling on that would be.

He just wants to know what sneaky pitch you’re planning to try to trick him with.

Too bad spit balls are banned…lol

A fastball in the ribs will take care of that.

The ump won’t hover…he’ll just butt in and break it up.

But you are talking about him.

Signals are sometimes given away.

Eavesdropping by to say “hello”.

Remind him, he’s on the other team.

Baseball season is here; Go Hops (Hillsboro, OR; MiLB)! Now, if only our North Left Coast weather behaves, and we don’t freeze or drown..or both at the same game.. in the stadium.

Remember that he IS holding a bat…..

Hello.. the clock is ticking!
