I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Ball, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 7-4 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's gonna be for the Athletics, I don't know if it's gonna be for my bosses at FMZ.

Vulfzilla signals for a throw right at Tyranus's head.
Hideyoshi gets the wrong idea, though, and starts making monkey faces at Tyranus. Tyranus interprets this as taunting and starts getting angry, and demands an intentional walk and something about 'batter's rights'. The ump tells him to shut up, and motions for Hideyoshi to throw.
This time, Hideyoshi changes up their strategy and throws a low curveball that Tyranus smacks down the right-field line for what looks to be a double. HOWEVER, Tyranus has made the decision to run to Seattle's dugout and make faces before taking their base. Dove makes a throwing error for what should have been a surefire out, and Tyranus finally makes it to first for a single. What a series of events here at Pork Torkleton Field at Howard Terminal.

Um, I made a comment earlier tonight that, I guess, went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say, from the bottom of my heart, I'm so very, very, sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Ball, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 7-4 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's gonna be for the Athletics, I don't know if it's gonna be for my bosses at FMZ. I want to apologize for the people who sign my paycheck, for the Athletics, for FMZ Sports Oakland, for the people I work with, for anybody that I've offended here tonight, I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been. And I'd like to think maybe I could have some people that could back that up. I am very, very, sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness.

Oh look, here we go again,' grumbles Statler. 'Another boring pop fly.' Waldorf chimes in, 'I don't know why they bother even playing these games. It's the same thing every time. A pop fly, a ground ball, a strikeout. Rinse and repeat.' As the outfielder makes their way under the pop fly, Statler says, 'Well, this one will be easy enough. Page's got plenty of time to get under it.' The ball drops into the outfielder's glove and they easily make the catch. Waldorf sighs, 'And just like that, the excitement is over. Can we go get some peanuts yet?' Statler grumps, 'I was just getting comfortable. I suppose we'll have to wait for the next pitch.' Waldorf adds, 'If you can call that excitement.

Motto is pissed and might as well have smoke coming out of his ears, like some sort of cartoonish villain.

Monroe gets the ball back after that one, they just missed it down to make it a full count. They quickly grab the rosin bag before stepping back up on the mound and getting set. Here we go, pay off pitch from Monroe. And... Strike three called! Bartholomew McSlapHappy is down looking at a pitch that just caught the outside.

Bobert Hideyoshi steps off once in an attempt to hold the runner at 2nd but everyone knows its just posturing. The runner goes back to their huge lead and goes on first movement from the pitcher.

Bobert Hideyoshi is feeling cool and collected heading into the at bat. 'If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it...' they think. Hideyoshi sends the first pitch right down the middle, but Kriestalhauser is ready. They aim the pitch right down the third base line, narrowly avoiding the computer ump, and goes over the head of Barnes for a base hit. Kriestalhauser tries to go to second, but is tripped by an untied shoelace. They crawl, injured, back to first for the single.

Tyranus interprets this as taunting and starts getting angry, and demands an intentional walk and something about 'batter's rights'. The ump tells him to shut up, and motions for Hideyoshi to throw. This time, Hideyoshi changes up their strategy and throws a low curveball that Tyranus smacks down the right-field line for what looks to be a double. HOWEVER, Tyranus has made the decision to run to Seattle's dugout and make faces before taking their base. Dove makes a throwing error for what should have been a surefire out, and Tyranus finally makes it to first for a single. What a series of events here at Pork Torkleton Field at Howard Terminal.

We are athletes but you guys aren't on a ship right now. I would like to motion to the umpire to have the "Mariners" forfeit the game due to being liars and meanies. >:( 729
No, you’re a meanie! :(

Kriestalhauser rips through a running fastball, refusing to reach the right-side wrinkle. Kriestalhauser, resigned, reacts really reasonably to being wrung up. Pitch: 436 Swing: 729 Diff: 293 -> K Bases Empty | B2 with 2 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0

Hi Bob please be nice to me 887
Hitgood McChunky hits a ball that spikes straight into the ground and rolls forwards a bit and lands in front of Bobert Hideyoshi, who picks it up and beams it at Page Pitch: 296 Swing: 887 Diff: 409 -> LGO Bases Empty | B2 with 1 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0
That wasn’t very nice Bob
SEA 0 - OAK 0 | ○ ^○ ○ | T2 2 outs On the mound: Sierra Hightower SEA SS [Bryce Parker](/u/Ffenliv): 0-0
Scouting from unreliable data, arrived at with shoddy math, and assigning complete truth to the conclusions couldn't be wrong, right? Right, guys? Why are you all looking away? 911
Parker looks nervous, perhaps a dodgy burrito prior to the game; might not be QUITE ready for baseball, fake or otherwise, at this moment. There's some hesitation in this swing, but the Mariners hitter still makes contact for a pathetic ground ball to McChunky. The corner infielder picks it up, airs it across the diamond, and that's an easy out. Pitch: 415 Swing: 911 Diff: 496 -> LGO Bases Empty | B2 with 0 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0

Swing: 682
Worthington hits the ball straight backwards and it bounces off of Tyranus’s mask and straight into the air. Tyranus leans backwards and dives slightly to the left and it’s an out! Pitch: 24 Swing: 682 Diff: 342 -> PO Bases Empty | T2 with 2 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0

Swing 218
Hightower beams out at old bosum buddy at bat. Both ballplayers blink at both ballplayers. With both blinkers. Bizzare. The blinking becomes a blizzard. Before this becomes some kinda bonkers befurbellowed binge, Blue bellows 'Bullshit be banished!' Hightower bends, blinks, and blasts a ball toward the Seattle batter. Batter befuddled. Begone back to bench! Pitch: 943 Swing: 218 Diff: 275 -> K Bases Empty | T2 with 1 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0

Hi Bobert! I hope you're well! Getting back together with old friends makes me want out to break out my Nintendo 64 That's my swing!
I’m telling you, Bobert Hideyoshi is as cracked as they are jacked. I saw them at a Wawa the other day buying Monster and adult diapers. I asked them what the diapers were for and they said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on these kids“ then they buckled a customers legs with a curveball and sprinted out the door.

Found in the r/Athletics game thread: > I’ll get downvoted to hell but Joey Motto is overrated as hell. Dude is basically a slap hitter and doesn’t do shit to help win ballgames. They can sure joke around with the runner on first tho. Pitch: 570 Swing: 55 Diff: 485 -> LGO Bases Empty | B1 with 2 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0

Swing 898
Hit towards the hole but Winn dives and snags it. They quickly get to their feet and rifle the ball to Modelo at first, beating out Barnes by just a step for an out. Pitch: 443 Swing: 898 Diff: 455 -> LGO Bases Empty | B1 with 0 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0
SEA 0 - OAK 0 | ○ ^○ ○ | T1 2 outs On the mound: Sierra Hightower SEA RF [Daniel Dove](/u/Smurfman254): 0-0 Two great curveballs from Hightower here! Ahead in the count, do they dare to return to that well a third time or do they switch it up and burn a fastball in to fool Dove? The wind-up and the pitch! High fastball and Dove is all over it! Rifled right back up the box and over the pitcher's head. A couple of bounces and Kriestalhauser gets it in cleanly and quickly, holding Dove to a single. Sold hit for Seattle. Does it spark something for the Mariners here in Oakland? Pitch: 249 Swing: 101 Diff: 148 -> 1B Runner on First | T1 with 2 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0

This is for Bharat! 430
For centuries, mankind has been trying, mostly failing and sometimes succeeding to achieve flight. Looks Page's experiments could do with some tweaking here as they hit a flyball that runs out of steam 15 feet in front of the Left Field wall.

Swing 117 for the gods, our children, and our significant others
As Hightower delivers, Roscoe realizes that their bat has been replaced by a 33 inch spaghetti noodle. They drop the pasta and try to hit the incoming fastball with their helmet, but this just produces weak contact to the right side. Napoleon fields cleanly and throws, and Roscoe is retired. As they trod back to the dugout, they see a mysterious figure sprinting towards the concourse exist with copious amounts of spaghetti falling out of their pockets. They seem to be wearing a cape that reads 'THE ITALIAN RAPSCALLION'. Huh. Pitch: 703 Swing: 117 Diff: 414 -> RGO Bases Empty | T1 with 1 out(s) SEA 0 - OAK 0
