So my internet cutting out has allowed me some time to mess around w/some photoshopping... I need some more suggestions for the other new guys if you have any...

and I didn't keep track of which strike outs were swinging and which were looking... but feel free to use these if you guys want :)

Jack Hannahan

One for good hitting = Jack Hammerhands = Hammers for hands
One for bad defense = Jack Hamsforhands = Hams for hands

Or y'know...maybe not. Good work though!

I hope...

Rich stays honest with how he feels and doesn't work too tired. As well as he's pitching, the last thing I want is for him to overextend himself.

Is for him to ruin this awesome performance
