So the next ball is one that counts! Because there was a second strike that was off-screen…or because that foul ball would actually have counted against Snuka because he bunted it. Not too sure how the scoring is really supposed to work in any of these games. But it doesn’t matter! I’ll just have Yogi point out when a ball is important, that’s what he’s there for.
Mopey notices that Snuka is in distress, unfortunately she kinda whiffs completely on coming up with anything that might help him.* You might think being an expert on inflicting humiliation would also make you expert at dealing with it…but you’d think wrong. Different magisteria, and all that. Still, Mopey shows an unusual (for her) level of empathy here – being able to sympathize with the level of humiliation that Snuka is bound to feel, in spite of her having no experience with having a penis. Admittedly, she has a clit…and even that is actually larger than Sn…no, let’s not go there. That would really be TMI, especially since we already learned today that Tanuki Kazuya has a curved dick.
Knowledge nobody asked for, but kinda relevant to the plot, since it causes Injun to throw a curveball – exactly what Tanuki wanted him to throw, if for the wrong reason. I didn’t even bother to point that out explicitly, since it’s already an established pattern by now. But, for what it’s worth, the hand (paw?) signal Tanuki does in panel six is supposed to be the standard one for a curveball.
More on Monday.
*Yeah, I know that the standard answer to “What could be worse than…” is supposed to be “the Holocaust”. But frankly, when a player has a crisis of confidence on the field, reminding him of the Holocaust isn’t usually going to help a lot. Unless they’re playing against a Waffen-SS team.
