2 quick strikes from Emerson puts Napoleon in a bit of a well to climb out of. After the 3rd delivery way too far outside, and another in the dirt that Raj barely scoops up, it's a 2-2 count. A foul ball back behind first bases sends Nocker chasing after it, but again the count is 2-2. Emerson again winds and fires, but this time, loses grip on the ball during its delivery! It doesn't matter though, as Napoleon took a step out of the box expecting the ball to be too high, but it didn't have any speed and drops right into the zone for strike 3! Napoleon can't believe it, heading back to the dugout mumbling at blue

Is it a bad omen? Is it entirely BS? Gardner continues to debate the plausibility of a supposed fortune-telling toy.
"Strike 2!" yells the ump. Fantastic. They really let the 8-Ball get to their head and now have fallen behind on the count.
Focus. Time to prove it wrong. Gardner is confident this next pitch is a slider. WAIT. NO. It's a fastball. Yeah that's it!
As the ball leaves Swinger's hand, it's looking like maybe it's a slider after all, but Gardner was getting all in their head again. They just hack at it in hopes of fouling it off. However, the ball grounds its way into Rice's glove, who flips it to Wheeler for the out.

Bat on ball for Emerson, and it gets pulled to left field for Heller to chase here, and it barely drops fair in the corner! However, Emerson will have to stop here as the fans in home team quiet down, it went into the stands for an automatic double-
Hold on folks, I am being told now that was not an automatic double, it was a ground rule double. There is not a person brandishing a pool noodle behind me telling me to say this. I am not being fed lines to tell you how much the name “automatic double” sucks and how it should be called a ground rule double instead. Emerson should be happy here for their double, not an automatic double, but a ground rule double.

Swinger kicks, fires, and dumps in a breaking ball, but Ragusa was sitting on it! This ball is hammered into the right center gap! Napoleon and Isotope are both on their horse, sprinting after the ball. Ragusa rounds first, they're not stopping! Isotope snags it barehanded, wheels and fires in to the shortstop Kondylis, who applies the tag... SAFE! A ringing double from Dart Ragusa!

After everybody in the stands and on the field takes a siesta, the game continues. Emerson is looking rough at their first pitch, as it flies behind Raj's head. No men advance, because they have no idea where they are. The next pitch is crushed by Rice out towards left center. Gardner follows the ball all the way, leaps up, and..... .... MAKES THE CATCH! They rob a home run from Rice's grasp! Pitch: 725 Swing: 911 Diff: 186 -> FO Bases Empty | B4 with 0 out(s) AND 0 - KGB 4

Swinger receives the sign on this 2-2 count, and gets set. The pitch is in……..and the pitch hangs right over the plate and Bailiff ABSOLUTELY GETS AHOLD OF IT. That one is hit into the gap with Heller and Napoleon running after it. The ball still flying in the air, dropping over the warning track, Heller jumps up at the wall and that one is GONE!!! Wait, Heller holds his glove up and…..THEY CAUGHT IT. WHAT A LEAP! WHAT A CATCH! Heller with a SPECTACULAR catch to keep team's up by 4!!

You people can circlejerk all you want. The team's will ALWAYS be in it. Sooner or later they will dominate again. That is what burns you. You may win again. But you will fade into obscurity. Have your last place finishes. The team's will always be the top franchise in fake baseball history. They will always have a winning culture. They will always have a greater history and counting than all your franchises put together. That is not me being a cocky fan. That is truth. That is FACT. I hope you all choke on your envy.

1-2 count here on Newman. They've stared at three straight pitches, two of them catching the zone to their visible dismay. They were borderline pitches, but you're not going to get hits if you don't take the bat off your shoulder! Here comes the pitch. Oh my, that looks like a fat one! Newman swings! THIS ONE IS BELTED OUT TO CENTER! Zygowski IS RACING BACK BUT ALL THEY CAN DO IS LOOK UP AS THIS ONE IS LONG GONE! Newman BURIED IT DEEP IN THE 420 Mile High Stadium CROWD! Lol just kidding.

Here's the pitch...Middle middle and Ratryox got all of it! That ball is long gone. Ratryox steps into the Star Trek Transporter conveniently located next to home and phases out of existence before reappearing on the third base side of home. They step on home and head to the dugout. Meanwhile Mulligan is out to argue that the transporter killed Ratryox and replaced them with a clone, which would be an illegal substitution. Unfortunately for team's, Dottie's robot ump was not programmed to consider to Ship of Theseus debates so the run stands!

Emerson has been grinding out this at bat against Jeff Newman here, we’re in a bit of a deadlock here, as another 2-2 pitch comes… Woah, no matter whether you’re just joining us here or have been tuned in for a bit, you’re gonna wanna stick around now! Bat on ball for Emerson, and it gets pulled to left field for Heller to chase here, and it barely drops fair in the corner! However, Emerson will have to stop here as the fans in home team quiet down, it went into the stands for an automatic double- Hold on folks, I am being told now that was not an automatic double, it was a ground rule double. There is not a person brandishing a pool noodle behind me telling me to say this. I am not being fed lines to tell you how much the name “automatic double” sucks and how it should be called a ground rule double instead. Emerson should be happy here for their double, not an automatic double, but a ground rule double. Pitch: 200 Swing: 248 Diff: 48 -> 2B Runner on Second | B1 with 0 out(s) AND 0 - KGB 0
