So board games are all well and good — I ain't got a thing against 'em — but what this ship really needs is a way to play some honest to God competitive sports. And when I say competitive sports, I mean baseball. I'd settle for basketball in a pinch, but baseball's the great American pastime for a reason.

Might just be I’m getting to that stage where I'm starting to climb the walls from not being able to do much of anything. Not that Saldanha Bay was exactly a thrill ride, but at least you could stretch your legs without bumping into bulkheads.

Anyway. If any of y'all can figure out a way to play baseball in space, I'll owe you one so big it'll have interest on it.

I’ve never played baseball but it seems fun. I like their outfits.

[adequacies]

It seems a lot of waiting around. The outfits are the best part.

[jinking]

That's called suspense, Ms. Eva. It's a slow burn! The anticipation's what makes it real fun.

[adequacies]

You don’t prefer a blaze of glory? Seems a bit suspect coming from a pilot.

[jinking]

Now that feels like a mighty broad brush you're painting with there, ma'am.

[adequacies]

Only with the softest bristles I have.

[reidings]

It does, which I guess in theory gives you time to rest if you have to run around a lot.

[adequacies]

I bet those ninety foot stretches between the bases are killer on the knees.

[reidings]

I didn’t even realise they were ninety feet. How do any of the players have functioning knees?

[adequacies]

Steroids.

[witlessbay]

stop objectifying the players

[adequacies]

It’s possible I have very strong opinions about the color variations of pinstripes. You all took it to the pants.

[witlessbay]

do you have very strong opinions about the pinstripes

[jinking]

I won't go as far as to say the outfits are the best part, but they're pretty damn neat.

[andcaboodle]

I don't know, men in tight pants seems hard to beat

[reidings]

Exactly, it’s nice to look at.

[jaxsons]

Thankfully they weren't as tight as they look, or there wouldn't have been any running.

[reidings]

I’d assume they’re tight, but stretchy. Am I wrong there?

[andcaboodle]

I am a simple man. If the aesthetic is nice, they're good enough for me, even if they're not as tight as they look

[jinking]

Feel like I've wandered into a fight I was never going to win.

[reidings]

Seems like there’s a large pro-tight uniform contingent.

[andcaboodle]

We can agree to disagree and enjoy baseball however we prefer

[reidings]

We would have to find a way to get some good ones up here if we’re going to play.

[jinking]

Maybe a team per cell. Or maybe just two teams so Battlest can be shared nice and fair. With the tightest pants you can possibly imagine, naturally.

[reidings]

I think it would only be fair if the teams are random and not divided by cells. Especially when one has a clear advantage over the other two.
