And four for a change-up. Jason: So is it normal for baseball players to practice their sunflower seed spitting skills? Peter: Nope. That's what gives me an edge. Back up a little more.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Low Pressure" published August 12, 2018 - Jason says: This isn't the World Series. It's not even a game. We're just having fun. We're not keeping score. I can swing until I hit it. It's impossible to strike out. According to science, lowering the pressure SHOULD lower the temperature. Marcus: Nope. No change. Are you keeping your volume constant?

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Plum Position" published March 26, 2017 - Paige says: Whatcha doing? Peter says: Honing my baseball skills. Varsity tryouts are tomorrow. Paige says: It looks like you're just writing stuff. Peter says: I'm practicing my autograph. I've decided to let the other guys vie for the hitting and fielding slots while I nail down the plum position of fan favorite and media darling. Signing balls... posing for pictures... winks and fistbumps for the little kids in the stands wearing my jersey... I mean, I was made for this role. Hey wanna help me out? Pretend you're a TV reporter and lob me some fun questions. Paige says: Are you insane? Peter says: Wait, wait, don't start yet! Hold this pen like it's a microphone!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Force Outs" published April 3, 2016 - Jason: Can you imagine how dominating a Jedi or a Sith would be as a major league baseball pitcher? HE could use the force to make the ball curve in any direction! He could use his mind tricks on the umpires so every pitch would be called a strike! In close games he could make the other team choke. Literally. The only problem is his lightsaber bat would cut the ball in two. He'd never get a hit. Peter: If he pitched in the American league he wouldn't have to bat. Jason: A perfect solution! We should have these discussion more often! Peter: We didn't have this discussion. And if you tell anyone we did...
