The Bullpen Season 5 Episode 5: Home Run Derby

 

ROBERT, ACE, LORENZO, BRYAN, HARRY, and MANNY are all sitting in the dugout of the Indianapolis Primitives’ bullpen. 


ACE

Who’s ready for a baseball game?!


LORENZO

Not me. But I could use a burger or three. 


HARRY

You know where the grill is. 


BRYAN

I can’t see too well from here, but I’m pretty sure we actually made it to the game before the rest of the team. 


MANNY

I see one of our guys by the dugout. Swinging the bat nonstop, doesn’t he know he also has to field? Give it a rest dude.


LORENZO

Also, the crowd feels different today. 


ROBERT

What’s that supposed to mean? 


LORENZO

Just the energy the crowd is giving off. They don’t seem like the usual season ticket holders. 


BRYAN

It’s very impressive you can figure that given you spend almost no time on the field. 


LORENZO

True, but I do tend to work the crowd. Here, watch this. 


LORENZO takes two cotton candy sticks off the snack table, jumps the bullpen wall onto the warning track, and holds the cotton candy into the air. The crowd does not react in any way. LORENZO jumps back into the bullpen. 


LORENZO

See what I mean? They don’t even care about my cotton candy. The home crowd loves that. Also I think I’m gonna need more of that bench than usual today, I just did a lot of exercise. 


HARRY

You hopped that small wall twice. 


LORENZO

Yeah, big day. 


MANNY

Could it be occurring to you that maybe the crowd is just tired of your cotton candy antics? 


LORENZO

No way!


BRYAN takes out a pair of binoculars. 


BRYAN

Lorenzo might be onto something, there are an odd amount of people wearing other teams’ jerseys. Some of them I didn’t even know the teams were still around!


ACE

Are we at the baseball Olympics?!


MANNY

No, but I’m pretty sure we’re not at your ordinary home game either. 


An announcer can be heard speaking through the entire stadium. 


ANNOUNCER

Welcome to the Home Run Derby! 


ROBERT

Well that explains it!


HARRY

Manny, you really didn’t know that?! 


MANNY

Nobody told me! Oh well, guess we might as well leave now. 


ACE

No way! I want to catch a home run ball. 


A baseball goes flying into the bullpen. ACE runs to get it. 


ACE

Now that I have what I wanted, I will leave. My decision. 


ROBERT

I say we stay a little longer. 


Home run balls start pouring into the bullpen. 


ROBERT

On second thought, for the sake of not getting slammed by 20 baseballs, I’m leaving. Who’s with me?


Everyones leaves.
