a bit of math, sans crying

3 x 3 = 9
9 x 9 = 81

(Assuming a perfect game, which is highly unlikely.)


On the other hand, I recall being told that they usually switch pitchers mid-game, to bring in one with a faster pitch when outs are needed late in the game. Then again, that was years ago, and while I know how to fill out a score card, I usually attended games for the churros. (Filling out a score card has the amazing ability to make the game much more pertinant to one's intersts, if only because one wants to color in the entire diamond. I wasn't really good at it, because I'd usually be distracted and miss who was involved in getting the out. It was the shortstop who usually threw me off.)

(And I doubt college baseball had this sort of heroics.)

Edit: It suddenly occurred to me that if there's a hit on the first or second pitch, there could be less than 3 pitches per out, provided that the hit resulted in an out. Which should have been something that I should have thought to account for in the first place, but I suck at understanding baseball.

Also, I joined a cooking comm, because it looked promising, and on the first page? Tilapia. :(

The flash of orange and white in the storm drain must have been a kitty.

I'm not really questioning how it got down there, but rather, whether it can get out again. It would be a rather awkward angle to jump.
