okay since you can't play a baseball game with a 4-5 person team i'm gonna swerve on this, so walk with me

one full team with all the PCs as players or supporting staff -- but as i've done previously with Andor characters, it's gonna be slowpitch softball. because frankly there's not enough Real Athletes on this team for me to take them seriously in a baseball game. here's the lineup:

Pitcher: Hal -- i don't know why but i can't imagine a slowpitch pitcher who isn't a dad so that really narrows down the options. hal doesn't have the other usual pitcher traits (crazy, no self preservation), but i think he's willing to put his face on the line for this crew so it's okay

Catcher: Wicander -- most unnecessary position on the slowpitch field is the perfect spot for the guy who rides side-saddle and wore his loafers on the adventure

First base: Teor -- gotta have size at first base and i feel confident in his ability to catch. unfortunately he will require a mid-season replacement :/

Second base: Azune -- steady and reliable. good hands. this guy can TURN a double play

Third base: Vaelus -- incredibly athletic and capable and for some reason i just have the sense that she's got a cannon for an arm

Shortstop: Julien -- always where the cockiest motherfucker plays and unfortunately they often have the skills to back it up. so, naturally. this is julien

Left field: Kattigan -- gotta put a ranger in the outfield and i think kat would absolutely thrive here. lots of action and ground for him to cover. i think he'd be an anchor out there

Left centerfield: Thaisha -- i was tempted to put her at first base but i felt bad about not having the druid in the grass. i think once Teor um...exits...she can take over that spot and hold them down on the infield. if she casts some shit to make the basepaths have difficult terrain that's just how it goes sometimes

Right Centerfield: Thimble (big) -- another one that just belongs in the grass and will cover a lot of ground. still getting used to being big though so i don't want to put her in left where it's busier (plus the guy in right needs support)

Right field: Occtis -- definitely not much of a natural athlete so right field for our boy, naturally. he gets the job done, but only thanks to lots of encouragement from Thimble, who occasionally does have to throw the ball in for him after he runs it down in the gap

Utility player: Tyranny -- she can fill in anywhere when someone's gone (and even look like them so no one even notices until they start doing very out of character body rolls). takes over in left center when thaisha has to move to first

player-manager: Murray -- Murray's the first off the bench to come in and pitch in relief but her main focus is managing and setting the lineup based on how portentous the day is

non-player manager: Bolaire -- thinks he's calling the shots but everyone knows better. he does most of his best work away from the field, securing sponsorships and beer

batboy: Wulferic -- goodest boy

mascot: Pincushion -- adorable
