Nothing. That's good. Yeah, there we go. We're good. We're good. Strike. Strike. Strike.

Loud. Strike. Oh, put some effort into it. Strike. All right. Check swing. Good. Good job. Good job. How we feel?

I feel good. I feel good. I've thrown zero bullpens. I haven't thrown a baseball in a really long time.

I'll be okay. I just got to throw strikes. They can hit as many times as they want. Just throw strikes. Keep the pitch count low. They can hit as many bombs as they want. One of these balls is going to find a glove and I'm or six or nine or however many of these are doing is going to find a glove and that's where we're going to be.

You have a game plan? Yeah. No, I do. It's going to be like two normal pitches. Ephus. Two normal pitches. Ephus. We're We're mixing We're mixing in a lot of ephuses. For every third pitch I throw is going to be an ephus. Just guide it in there. I don't know. I think it'll be good. It'll be fine. It'll be fine.

Zack's the ump. I'm the backup. Hopefully, we make the right call. The best call to our ability.

You going to have a regulation strength? Game time decision. We'll be good. If if we're being completely honest with ourselves, I haven't even started throwing. My arm already hurts.

Brandon, how are you feeling? I'm not real sure why I'm here. Uh, you know, I guess I was part of Stingers Only and I won it and I'm winning it again this year. So, I guess I am the best player at it. But, um, this seems like a punishment for PMT. I'm volunteering for a punishment. That's pretty stupid. We're just talking about Max. I don't believe in Max at all. I think he's going to fail at everything he does, especially this.

Not bad. Trying to remember [ __ ] that I used to do. for being honest. I'm gassed. I'm gassed. This is the This is my old warm-ups. There's going to be a lot to worry about today. Are you bringing out any pictures?

Oh, yeah. I got a plethora. I got four seam, two seam, slider, palm, ephus. Lot of ephyses. And that's what we're going to work with today. I don't care. I want them to I want them to hit the ball. Let's get Let's get my boys active. Let's worry about throwing strikes. That's the name of the game today. throw strikes. I got [ __ ] We're in a beautiful field somewhere in Chicago, Jack. Absolutely beautiful field somewhere in Chicago.

What are you doing today? We're calling balls and strikes. We got memes on first base line. We are the We're the umpire crew for today. We're going We're currently going over balls and strikes. He has to dance while calling a strike because we're Savannah Banana Humps.

So here strike. What was that? What? No, no, no. Do it again. Do give us a dance.

Strike. That's so like someone's coming down the line. I might have to take my my glasses off, Jack, cuz I keep falling with the mask. That could affect the strike zone drastically. I don't have the best vision. We might be a visually impaired set of umpires, but we're going to do the best we can do.

You got this, Max. He doesn't have it. You got this, Max. That's it. It's all day. Let's not worry about what they'll probably do to that.

That's fine. Yeah. I'm just trying to, you know, let them put the ball in play.

Crap one up right here. Who's going to throw strikes? My arm already hurts. I feel good. That was pretty good all things considered.

You need to lock it in. I know. I'm dialed. I'm on the zone. That's it. That's That's all I'm trying to do is start striking.

Got it. But let's see. You know, I will go over one of these seats for you. I love that. That's my guy right there. That's my [ __ ] guy right there.

We're going to be good. This is going to be quick. This is going to be quick. We're just going to pound the zone. That's it. Let's name the game.

Yo, against Alexi, if you get him out, you got to go like this. Okay, that's his thing.

Okay, he's the one that wears the cape. We had talked about this doing one of the dances before the pitch. I've got a simple one that the firefighters did this weekend. So, you're just coming in like this onto the mound and then the short stop second base and outfielder will join in on you. Y

got it. I can do that. I can do that. You think you think this is good? Y. I think I got that.

40 is not fun. Jack, don't get injured today. Half jog for everything. Make it look like I'm trying. Don't really care if I catch anything. The only thing that can't happen is if something gets hit directly at me, I have to catch it.

Everything else is just great. Are you nervous about whipping it out? Uh, no. Because I won't if I don't think I can get it, I won't even I won't even like attempt.

What up? I don't think it's going to take that long. I mean, it's How many runs did PFT give up? Like one or two? I think he'll probably more than that. I'm guessing under 10 runs, though. Although Max was a better center fielder. I forgot about that. He played center. I'm playing center today. That's a big downgrade for the team. Not a lot of mobility for me out there today. I'm hoping I can get some reps. I need to like see some fly balls in the air cuz I'm Otherwise, it's going to be bad.

Nothing. That's good. Okay. There we go. We're good. We're good. Strike. Strike. Strike. Loud. Strike. Oh, what's happening?

Strike. All right, check. Swing. Good. Good job. Good job. Strike. I think you're ready. Your main focus is just don't get hit enough. Not going to hit. Yeah, it'll be just fine. Where's my catcher?

It seems like he's not taking this seriously. There's my catcher. He's down there in that area yesterday for all both.

Does that make me a [ __ ] I just don't know what Max's control is going to be like. So, I feel like I got to load up and then I got

I love him. I love him. He's great. Shock doctor. I think my personal How are you feeling, Max?

I'm not feeling as great as I could cuz my catcher is just is not looking at this to be a priority today.

Let's move on past that. I had to [ __ ] really bad this morning. I had stomach issues. All right, Max. Fast ball. And then you say you got a gyro ball, right?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. He used to do the slow one. when he was we were warming up. Okay, the slow one is

here. Here's a hand signal. We're going to throw a lot of those. It's Italian. We're going to throw a lot of those.

Just max back speed for let's say it's a a ball coming in. Ready? That's That's fine. That's what I'm giving you.

That's fine. I can't let my problem is I can't let my my inner competitive athlete come out and start sprinting.

I just got to I just got to not get hurt. That's literally I don't give a [ __ ] if we're here for 10 hours. As long as I don't get hurt, I don't I do not care.

He's back. Pounding this out. I love this energy, baby. I love this. There we go.

THERE WE GO, CATS. I I I think I'm done with warm-ups. I warm ups are over. Yeah.

That's just classic potato ball. Then I couldn't get track it and then last second boom. Got it. No problem. The key to this is going to be if I can't get something, I got to pretend like I'm about to do a trick cuz then everyone's like, "Oh, he didn't get it cuz he tried to do a trick." So like if I'm if I'm not tracking it, I'll just do like a woo woo. This has got to be the least mobile outfield of all time. Anything from the left center or right center is is getting through. And I got about 10 ft of mobility on either side. And then if it goes backwards, I'm [ __ ]

Hey. Hey. What's up, play ball? How are you? Chilling. They only have two left-handed hitters, so I feel like I'm going to have an easy day out here. I'm not really worried about it. You see how I'm chilling? To be honest, I really don't know why I'm here. I'm the only nonPMT guy here. I I think Jerry and Shay kind of pulled the rug over my eyes here. I don't know how they got out of this. That's all That's all good. I did win dingers only last year and I'm winning it again this year. So, hi. Two time winner.

Zach, let me see the strike call. Yeah, strike. All right. What about ball? Ball. They say not Santy's ball.

What about strike three? This is strike. Yeah. Ball. They said don't say anything. And then strike three is strike.

We're doing arm swings. And then we got a little strike. Oo, I like that. All right, let's do it. I guess he's still on board.

Three out breaks or we That's right. Be out here for all 27. Oh, Max doing an Irish jig. Okay.

Oh, and the boys caught on quick behind him. We'll just have to wait and see. Right here. The payoff pitch.

Swinging a miss. Max Delente. That's out number one. HE GETS UP ON THE CAVE AND LOOK AT WHAT HE'S WHAT IS THAT? Is he a Is that a mantis? Is that a praying mantis?

Oh. Oh. Hey, what's he got? What's his mix? Just slow the slow ones. He's got two ones.

Zach has got a big zone. Yeah. PFT behind the plate. Calling a great game from Axe right now. That one's a bit low, but it's going to be a called strike. 02 count right now.

Bubbles. NO. And he's down. He's out for the count this time. Showed off. Oh, he's got a rash. Everything.

Poor Zach. Really a nice guy. He was having fun with it. Before we started, I went up to Zach and I told him, I said, "Hey, man. I had a bad game last night. I got pulled. So, don't [ __ ] me up today cuz my job's on the line."

Looking good, Jackie. I went to give him rocks and he goes, he goes, "I'm impartial. I can't."

I said, "Give me give me a fist ball. My defense is [ __ ] horrendous. We should be out of here." 30 minutes ago.

Lenant strike zone from Zack behind home plate. That one high pop up. Banana ball. Banana. Where is it? Banana ball.

Big cat. Oh no. Trying to throw his glove at it. Go. First pitch of the at bat goes to left center. Does Hank have it?
