As a European, odds are I’m going to miss every single baseball-related joke.
In fact, I have no idea what Roxy’s saying in the fourth panel. There might be a joke in there. Or maybe not. I don’t know.
bottom of the 9th = very tail-end of the tail-end of the game, last chance for anyone to score any points
with bases loaded = potential to score or dramatically FAIL to score up to 4 points in a game that averages ~8 points according to a quick google search.
At bat = in position to score or fail to score points for your team.
last chance for *home team* to score points
In case you missed the joke in panel 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_Heard_'Round_the_World_%28baseball%29
It also wouldn’t surprise me if this poem becomes relevant to the story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_at_the_Bat
Panel 3 also alludes to this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_Ruth's_called_shot
And here I thought they were referring to the first group of cows in orbit . . .

The Herd Shot ’round the World.

Is…is that a Urealms reference?
Rick Berman? Is that you?
Oh well, death to the opposition.
Panel 3, is that a Manticore granny?
That was my thought too. If it is, this comic just got leaps and bounds better!
That’s what it looks like to me!
Granticore!
BRILLIANT
Alternately, Auntie Cora.
What about Ogre granny on the left side of panel two?? That’s awesome too.
Nice job of repair. Though the switch from poker may have been prudent.
Bard, and no paladin?

I really truly doubt she has the patience or attention span to enjoy a game like MahJongg.
And she might be banned from the premises: http://rustyandco.com/comic/level2/level-2-title/
Well spotted. You do have a good memory.
Seems that it was Mary who spotted it first, but was more subtle. But thanks to you Matt W because Mary’s comment would have gone over my head without your link
This probably isn’t Maddie’s scene; remember that Roxy is probably around a hundred years older than her, she’s probably been with this group a long time.
Ecept that the implication of being raised by Robenspiel’s parents is that she is his contemporary in age.
Oh boy Oh boy! A baseball episode! Maybe we’ll see the Rangers against the Giants?!
At first you’re like, “What’s Roxy doing hanging out with all these old biddies?” Then you remember she’s an elf so she’s probably older than everyone else there.
What? Those aren’t freckles? They’re age spots! ?
With elves, is there really much difference?

How does Robespierre shorten to Petey? Roxy’s brother is a Perry if ever I saw one.
