When you’ve got only a very limited time to come up with an idea, you’ll push yourself hard out of desperation–and often, you’ll come up with something great. For example, our halfling friend only had a few seconds from when he was ordered up to bat to when the ball was bearing down on his strike zone. In that time, he came up with a plan: “smoke bombs, the world’s tiniest bunt, and book it like mad under cover of smoke.” That’s not bad.
I hope this means Cube is on his way to home base. Dirk is really booking it & I’m not sure what happens (at least in Gnomish Baseball) if on runner passes another.
This is reminding me of an old Silver Age story where two non-powered villains (a husband and wife team) end up capturing a number of heroes and villains to force into playing a Baseball game because the wife was ready to give up on being a super-villain because they never won and her husband, a sports-themed super-villain (Sportmaster’s I think as his name) insisted they could. The villains tried cheating with mixed results (you’re Too Dumb To Live if you think beaning Superman is going to do anything but help his side what with his Invulnerability), one hero was quite successful with his cheating (Plastic Man made his foot look like the base he was at resulting in Sportmaster thinking he’d tagged base but hadnt and earned praise from the villain’s umpire Amazo for such a devlishly clever trick) and it naturally ended in a win for the heroes.

When these trolls talk, is anyone else reminded of the “Tracksuit Mafia” from the Fraction/Aja run on Hawkeye a year or two ago?
Yes, bro. The bro-semblance is uncanny, bro
Yes. Their speech annoyed me so much. Was so glad when Kate wiped the floor(s) with them. The Code are actually less annoying.
When everyone in the party fails their spot check but you.
Only way that feeling could be worse is if the enemy expects you to pass the spot check and sets a trap for it.
Been there, done that, got the chain shirt.
Called iiittt~!

Does anyone know what this is supposed to mean?

The line up for the chopping block
Doogan just made them forget that Cube is running the bases.
Those poor suckers.
Them bros need to keep better watch on their dudes, dude.
I’m not your dude, bro!
I’m not your buddy, guy!
I’m not your guy, pal!
I’m not your pal, friend!
Rrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun Dirk, rrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!
Sorry, couldn’t help myself…
“…Sneaky is as Sneaky does, Sir…”
“That boy’s a running fool…”
Life is like a game of Gnomish Baseball. Ya never know how you’re gonna git got.”
Mimic was right. Cube wouldn’t have done that.
My comparison to Usopp last week seems to have been accurate.
I hope this means Cube is on his way to home base. Dirk is really booking it & I’m not sure what happens (at least in Gnomish Baseball) if on runner passes another.
Probably the same as in regular baseball. Besides, Dirk can’t go full-speed, since he has to worry about the buzz-saws.
If it’s the same as regular baseball then Drik could get both himself & cube out. Remember gelatinous cubes aren’t ‘ know for their speed.
Again, skim through the archives and refresh your memory at the feats that ol’ G.C. has been capable of; he’s quite swift, actually.
