Looking at P1, Tru(e) must be throwing those Bugs Bunny type of changeups if the batter is that far out in front of the ball when it begins to cross the plate. That would also make more sense for the dialog in P2.
In all reality , P 2 " Yes , I got what you got , it’s treatable with penicillin shots .We need to avoid $ 25 hookers and practice safe sex .Oh, you mean True’s pitch speed , nope it didn’t register must need new batteries in my speed gun ."
With the True era over, we snarkies are desperate for new material, err, characters. 8 weeks until Labor Day and the Summer story wrap up and the Milford Lake beach introducing us to a new cast. The Bader’s will blow out of town like dried up tumbleweeds.
P-1: Mickey Mantle was ambidextrous so I’m not surprised by this old picture.P-2: Yeah, his change up came in a 45mph.P-3: This slow dance is brought to you by the S. F. Ghost of Sock Hops Past.
They can’t end this story without the inevitable Barry/True confrontation. I expect BB will step out of the stands tomorrow. Hugging it out by Saturday. Milford CC in a week.
True would have a hard time in pro ball. Just like Jethro Bodine couldn’t throw without possum grease, True needs a huge load of grief to add that extra 10 mph to his fastball. But it won’t be practical for a team to keep killing True’s friends to keep him effective.
I just googled “do you have to refrigerate cooked bacon” while eating a sandwich of leftover bacon that had been sitting out for 36 hours. Apparently, yes. Goodbye cruel world. If I never return, rest assured it wasn’t because of the disparaging MUT reference.

Huh. Well, that was a letdown. No broken ribs? No fractured skulls? Dang!

No wonder we haven’t seen Marty in the booth. He’s become a scout.

In P2, they’re actually discussing the prizes in their Crackerjacks.

Heh, P3 on MUT: “I’ll see you in the showers later, sexyboy!”

P2, "Did you get what I got? No! I told you not to drink the water in Milford, you idiot.
Big Ken Brown, about to make it all happen again in the showers.
Will Tru(e) take the money and go off to play baseball or will he make Wake Forest National Champion? Stay tuned.

If a cop had been operating that radar gun out on the highway, Boo Radley might still be alive.
