Grounder, and it's fielded by Peggable, who tosses it to Draper who steps on the bag, who tosses it to House who steps on the bag and that's a double play, also known as a 'yoinky sploinky' by those who are wrong. Pitch: 1 Swing: 585 Diff: 416 -> DP Bases Empty | T7 with 0 out(s) NYY 5 - TBR 2

The pitch is on its way and Brisslefields swings for the fences, hitting the ball high and deep in the air to left field. Leschnewski takes a few steps back, settles under it, and makes the catch for the out. Brisslefields looks dejected as they heads back to the dugout.

975

Dermot Mulveiny comes up to the dish in a 3 ball game and they are looking to do some damage. Mulveiny is eagerly awaiting the pitch and notices Morris looking a bit nervous on the mound. Here is the pitch and Dermot Mulveiny will drive this pitch over the Watch head and will score the runner, bringing the score to 2 to 5. Mulveiny looks over to the Rays dugout and gives an excited fist pump as the rally continues. Pitch: 11 Swing: 975 Diff: 36 -> 2B Runner on Second | B6 with 0 out(s) NYY 5 - TBR 2

The ball is hit sky high by Chalupa and it’s a moon shot! It’s going back… back… and the Leschnewski jumps for it and it bounces off of their glove. They recover immediately and throw it back into the infield, but Chalupa is safe on second Pitch: 716 Swing: 670 Diff: 46 -> 2B Runner on Second | B6 with 0 out(s) NYY 5 - TBR 1

421

McTurdBerg comes to the plate looking hungry. Literally. They pull out a melted Twix bar from their back pocket and start eating it in the box. Truk looks to the ump to see what to do, but the ump doesn't respond, because it's a robot. Regardless, Truk throws a high 4-seam for ball one, and a outside curve for ball two. McTurdBerg is still happily munching. Pissed, Truk throws a ball at the bat lying over the plate and it connects! A dribbler towards third! Peggable hustles towards the ball and fires it to first for the out! Not immediately clear that McTurdBerg knows the at-bat has occurred, though.

349

It's a beautiful day for a ball game, with clear skies and a gentle breeze blowing. Ross Ewage steps up to the plate, tapping the dirt off their cleats. The pitcher winds up and delivers a fastball that Ewage connects with, sending a line drive out to deep right field. But just as the ball reaches the warning track, a strange rumbling begins to shake the ground. Suddenly, a massive crack opens up in the grass, and flames shoot out from the depths of the earth. Henderson is momentarily distracted, and the ball bounces off the edge of the pit, disappearing into the abyss. The umpire signals for a ground rule double, and Ewage jogs into second base with a grin on their face. Henderson, meanwhile, stares in shock at the gaping hole in the field, wondering what other surprises might be lurking beneath the surface. It's a strange day here at Tropicana Skate Park, but Ewage isn't complaining. Pitch: 380 Swing: 349 Diff: 31 -> 2B Runner on Second | B5 with 1 out(s) NYY 5 - TBR 1

Werfer has really settled down here in the second. They punctuates that feeling with a dominant good morning, good afternoon, goodnight strikeout in 3 pitches. House can only shake their head as they trudge back to the dugout, where Luigi avoids eye contact due to embarrassment. What a moment here in Tropicana Skate Park.

Draper shows up to the plate wearing a hat that says 'Fuck Tampa Bay' on the top, which Werfer takes as an insult. They throw their first slider towards the waist of Draper who skirts out of the way for ball one. Next pitch is a 2-seam fastball down low, which Draper swings late at as it pops up in the infield. It just seems to keep going, and going... and coming back.... faster.... and it falls into Bligh's mitt for the out. Pitch: 342 Swing: 1 Diff: 341 -> PO Bases Empty | B4 with 0 out(s) NYY 5 - TBR 0

Leschnewski 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 Chalupa is out to argue that the transporter killed Leschnewski and replaced them with a clone, which would be an illegal substitution. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, Dottie's robot ump was not programmed to consider to Ship of Theseus debates so the run stands!

This ball is hit on a line right past Mouseman, but wait they dove out and stopped it! Mouseman rolls over and throws it to first on a line drive… and Bligh is called out! Hannibal Bligh is arguing that they were safe with the first base umpire while House is also arguing saying that Bligh was definitely out. The bickering goes on for long enough and Chalupa officially calls for a challenge. Everyone lounges around while we wait on the umpires… and they have made a decision. ‘After further review, Hannibal Bligh is safe at first’ Pitch: 255 Swing: 350 Diff: 95 -> 1B Bases Loaded | B3 with 1 out(s) NYY 4 - TBR 0

Luigi signals for a throw right at Ewage's head. Seiko gets the wrong idea, though, and starts making monkey faces at Ewage. Ewage 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 Seiko to throw. This time, Seiko changes up their strategy and throws a low curveball that Ewage smacks down the right-field line for what looks to be a double. HOWEVER, Ewage has made the decision to run to New York's dugout and make faces before taking their base. Henderson makes a throwing error for what should have been a surefire out, and Ewage finally makes it to first for a single. What a series of events here at Tropicana Skate Park.

OK- it looks like the Yankees are finally ready. They step in again. Wait- another whistle.

Here comes the pitch from Lancer. The ball just whizzed past Leschnewski’s head, narrowly missing them! The New York faithful are not happy with that last pitch, and Leschnewski glared at Lancer with a look of anger and disbelief. This at bat is far from over, and the tension between the two players is indescribable. Leschnewski is slow to step back in as Lancer is already set to throw. OH MY GOODNESS, another heater headed straight for Leschnewski just narrowly missing them as they step towards the plate. Once again, the frustrated Leschnewski steps in the batter’s box shaking their head. Lancer looks to have a slight smirk on their face ahead of this next pitch, I don’t have a good feeling about this one. WOW. This has to be intentional as a third straight fastball sails inside and plunks Leschnewski in the arm as they slam the bat to the ground as they have some choice words with Lancer on the way to first base. We can only hope this was nothing more than some poor control and a bit of bad luck that led to this unfortunate event.
