I did put a bet on that match
Oh, my bad, I had thought you bet for The A.N.Y.C.F.W.A.L.S. to win the entire 3 games match (so you'd have won even if they lost first game but won the next two). Sorry for the mix up, here's the update:
scapheap won $100!
Bankroll: $1100And I did miss
this one!
My Name is Immaterial loses $100
Bankroll: $900@Fortis: XD
We are here, at the Hot Pizza Stadium for out next match between The Greedy Gobbos and The Dragons. Beware the cheese, it's slippery! Several pizza slices have come to watch the game, and by several I mean thousand! Like, ending the Earth's hunger for the next 20 years thousands! But I digress.
In the sky, a huge, nay, a ginormous spaceship shaped like a dragon appeared, a door opened and from there, 8 dragons and a lizard appeared.
"Hey!"
Er, 9 dragons appeared, with their manager, Fortis, at their side. Maleficent used her magic to reduce the size of several of the dragons into and average, though still big, size, for convenience, as it was against the Grand Slam rules to occupy more than one base simultaneously with one of your big foot. Mushu's size wasn't changed and remained tiny.
"..."
The non-flying dragons and Fortis rode King Ghidorah to the ground below, while all the other dragons took their positions on the field, with Ridley on the mound.
Then, a bring flash of green energy blinded all the dragons, while The Greedy Gobbos teleported in, each behind a dragon, which they poked on the shoulder, and then they disappeared right before the Dragons turned around.
Several malevolent laughs and giggles were heard.
"Meh, we could have done that. I guess you don't have a Goblin shaped spaceship."
The Greedy Gobbos appeared again, all of them smiling, some more creepily than others. Bones was carrying Playergamer, their manager, around. And then, from the ground, which is made of pizza, Slice, the umpire, appeared.
"Hey guys! Remember the rules: no hitting below the belt, no eye poking, don't spit at other players, and if you need to go to the bathroom, just ask for a time out, no need to get messy!"
Rathalos drooled, while Jastor approached Slice directly.
"Hmmm, what is that smell?"
"Pecorino."
"Ah. It's delicious!"
"Eh, it's Play Ball!"
Money bet in this game:
$100 - Greedy Gobos (darkpaladin109)
200$ and one stadium hotdog with the works - the Dragons (Fortis)
The Greedy Gobbos (Playergamer) Vs. the Dragons (Fortis)[1][1]
Pitcher - Batter
4>2
Ib grabbed his telescope, and used it to to take a closer look at all the dragons, then he started using the telescope as a bat, and yelled Everybody but me—CHARGE!
Ridley threw the fall so fast it was on fire, Ib hit the ball with his telescope, but instead of ricocheting, the telescope was torn to pieces and the ball ended in a Rathalos's wing at home. Since it was a hit but the ball ended with the catcher, this was called as an out. "Goblins against dragons, is this a joke? Get used to this, this will be a no-contest!"
<Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Ib out.
--------
4>1
Rift telerported to the mound, as Alduin flew to the plate. "Zu'u Alduin. Diist kiin do Akatosh!"
"Your mother!"
Rift threw the ball and Alduin swung his right wing to hit it but Rift used his magic to make it zig-zag past him for a first strike. The next time, Rift threw two balls at the same time and they also made weird movements in the air and Alduin couldn't hit either one despite his best efforts. He got a strikeout.<Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Alduin out.
--------
[2][1]
1 out.
2>1
It seems the dragon needs a lesson on humility.
Said Oid in a sarcastic tone. But he was informed that he was already out. What?!
Instant replay revealed that while he was talking, Ridley had already thrown the ball three times to the pitcher for a strikeout. "Too fast for you?"
<Strikeout>
Oid out.
--------
2 outs.
2>0
The cheese below them shook as King Ghidora reached the plate. Even its minimized version was huge and impressive. Rift threw the three balls at the same time, and each of the heads of Ghidora attempted to hit them, but all of them failed. The Green Goblin at home was sent backwards to the cheese ground as he caught all three balls simultaneously for an instant strikeout. Hey, be more careful!
<Strikeout>
Ghidorah out.
--------
[3][1]
2 outs.
4>2
Bones came to the plate, she was carrying a big femur as bat and winked at Ridley, who frowned and threw the ball. Once again, the bone was broken in two parts, but the ball was sent back with great speed. It would have been a fly ball if Ridley hadn't flown to catch it to get Bones out. "Stop wasting my time!"
<Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Bones out. Third out. The Dragons can attempt to score until they get three outs.
--------
6<5
"You have nothing on me, I have already learned your tricks, big nose!"
Rift threw the first ball which started to make circles in the air, but Smaug just breathed a big flame from its mouth that sent the ball flying to left field where Jastor Gallywix was supposed to catch it, but he failed and the ball was so hot it melted the pizza on where it fell and after Jastor teleported to grab it, he burned his hand when trying to grab it and then had to use ice magic to cool it down. By the time he threw the ball back into the field, Smaug had already done it to third. "See, Alduin and Ghidorah? This is how you're supposed to play this game!"
<Everyone on bases score, batter to third.>
Smaug on third.
--------
[1][2]
2 outs
40
Muchu came in to bat, he was carrying a normal sized bat that seemed just a bit too heavy for him. All the Gobbos laughed at him, but he just frowned, and when the ball came towards him doing weird movements, he noticed a pattern and swung the bat to where the ball wasn't, it moved there and he made a hit. Rift lost control of the ball and it went to the left field where Gil seemed about to grab it. Muchu made it to first while the ball still controlled by magic made a sudden movement and Gil couldn't grab it. With the erratic behavior of the ball, Smaug didn't wish to risk a third out and stayed at third. Indeed, the ball made a sudden movement and by itself moved and was grabbed by Oid on second at the exact same time that Mushu made it there. Then Mushu whispered to the umpire: "See that Dragon over there? His name is Rathalos, and if we lose he's going to eat you!"
"It's... It's safe!"
<batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two>
Smaug on third, Mushu on second.
--------
[2][2]
2 outs.
If the dragons score thrice they win.
2=2
"Fing. Fan. Foom. I'll be your doom!"
As Fing was saying this, Smaug was flying towards home, Rift forgot about the magic and just threw the ball there, the Green Goblin grabbed the ball and tried to tag Smaug who dived into home, but Smaug reached it first to score the first run of the game by stealing home. Or that's what the umpire claimed. While all this was happening, Muchu had already stolen third base.
Rift threw the ball as Muchu started running towards home, Fing used his telephatic powers to read to where Rift was going to move the ball to, and then bunted it and started to run to first. Rift threw the ball to Bones there getting Fing Fan Foom out, but not before Muchu had scored the second run of the game! Fing had made a sacrifice bunt. This was the third out and the end of the bottom of the inning. "Size REALLY doesn't matter!"
<Batter out, rest of players advance 2 bases>
Smaug scored. Muchu scored. Fing out.
The Greedy Gobbos 0 - The Dragons 2
Second inning.
2<4
"Ah ha! Let--"
"Oh, shut up! I'm already tired of your garbage!"
As Ridley threw the ball, the Green Goblin threw a Pumpkin Bomb towards it, after they collided there was a big explosion and the ball was sent flying to center field. The Green Goblin rode his Goblin Glider and reached first very quick, as the ball bounced on a pepperoni and was grabbed by King Ghidorah's middle head, who threw it towards Maleficent on second but the Green Goblin had already made it there for a double.
Ridley for once stayed quiet.<Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Green in second.
--------
[3][2]
If the Dragons score, they win.
6>1
As Rift threw again the 3 balls at once, Maleficent just created a barrier of magic energy that was supposed to bounce the balls back, but to her great surprise, Rift's magic was surprisingly stronger, the balls bounced but Rift kept control of two of them, which went to Green Goblin, the catcher, for two strikes. The third one popped out and was grabbed back by Rift getting Maleficent out.<All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Maleficent out.
--------
Green Goblin on second.
4>2
As Gil went to the plate, he started making faces at Ridley. Ridley knew something was amiss. He was Green Goblin trying to steal third, he threw the ball to second and Green backtracked and was safe again before the ball arrived. Ridley threw the ball and Gil didn't swing, Green Goblin was trying to steal third again and Rathalos, the catcher quickly threw the ball there to Fin Fang Foom which tagged Green before he could make it for an out. "I see you're in trouble, let me help you out!"
Ridley threw an easy ball to Gil, who hit it and it bounced in the cheese and was grabbed by Muchu at Short Stop, which quickly threw it to Charizard on first before Gil arrived, getting him out.
"Who is the garbage now?"
<Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Green Goblin out. Gil out.
--------
[1][3]
1 out.
If the Dragons score they win.
4>1
Fortis threw a Pokéball into the arena, where Charizard appeared in a big flash and roared. This time Rift cast water magic into the ball and threw it, and grabbed another, and cast water on it, Charizard used a Fire Blast as Rift kept throwing balls, but all of them were wet and had no problem being caught by Green Goblin for a strikeout.<Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Charizard out.
--------
2 outs.
4>2
Ridley threw the ball and Gobbos hit it to first base where Charizard caught it for the third out, and end of the top of the inning. Now the Dragons could attempt to score until getting three outs.<Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Gobbos out. Third out.
--------
[2][3]
2 outs.
If the Dragons score they win.
2>6
Rift threw the ball towards Rathalos, a straight ball, or so, it seemed, because when Rathalos hit it it just vanished as if it was an illusion, while the real ball was caught by Green Goblin for a strike. This was something new for Rathalos, who didn't know what to do against it. Rift threw another two balls simultaneously, Rathalos hit them both and sent them flying very high into the outfield but the suddenly vanished, and the real ones appeared and were caught by Green, for a strikout. This was the third out, and end of the bottom of the inning.<Strikeout>
Rathalos out. Third out.
--------
The Greedy Gobbos 0 - The Dragons 2
Third inning.
2<5
Jastor's arrival to the plate was very noisy, apparently, he had his pants full of gold coins. He seemed heavy and was slow moving. He grabbed a gold bat and swung, Ridley threw the ball, and the bat attracted the ball towards it for a hit. The hit wasn't very impressive, it bounced on the pizza and was grabbed by Ridley, who threw it to Charizard on first, however, Jastor teleported to first and then teleported to second. Charizard realized what was happening and threw the ball to home as Jastor teleported to third. Jastor didn't move from there, but he has made a triple.<Everyone on bases score, batter to third.>
Jastor on third.
--------
[3][3]
If the Dragons score they win.
6>4
Ridley came to the plate without a bat. Rift threw two balls at once, and Ridley swung his tail and hit one of them, which just vanished and Green caught the other for the first strike. Rift was risking it out on a 50/50 chance. Ridley tried again, Rift threw two balls and one was hit towards the short-stop, but it was another illusion, the real one was caught by green for the second strike. Finally, Ridley smiled, Rift threw another set of two balls, Ridley swung side ways and hit them both with his tail, one was grabbed back by Rift but vanished, the other seemed to go out of the stadium being impossible to catch by any Gobbo, but it also disappeared to reveal both were an illusion and the ball was caught by Green Goblin for a strikeout. "I hope that teaches you to have more respect for we Gobbos!"
"You should be hoping for the championship to last very long, because after it's over, I'm going to kill you!"
After this Rift had ran out of magic, and will be replaced by G1.<All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Ridley out.
--------
Jastor on third.
4<0
G1 reached the plate and instead of a bat he had a big ball of energy. Ridley threw the ball and G1 made the energy ball grow. When the balls hit each other, the baseball suddenly turned very heavy and sank into the pizza. Green Goblin, the catcher, without abandoning home went to grab it, as G1 teleported to first, and then to second. With Green Goblin guarding home, Jastor didn't dare to try anything.<batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>
Jastor on third, G1 on second.
--------
[1][1]
1 out.
If the Dragons score they win.
0<1
On its second chance to bat Alduin didn't do it any better. G1 made a move as if he was throwing the ball, but nothing was visible until a ball magically appeared where Green would grab it for a strike. G1 was making the balls invisible. Alduin swung trying to hit the next two, but every time the ball would just appear behind him for a strikeout.<batter is out.>
Alduin out.
--------
Jastor on third, G1 on second.
4=4
"Let's make a deal, if I make a hit you don't kill me after championship over. What do you say?"
"Sounds reasonable. This at-bat for your life!"
What Ridley didn't know was that, while Rift had ran out of magic, he hadn't ran out of devices. Rift was holding a cauldron with bright green liquid on it to which Ridley paid to attention to. After Ridley threw the ball, Rift threw the contents of the cauldron to it, transforming the ball into a bird, which was shot at hyper speed trying to leave the stadium.
Jastor and G1 disappeared, they were teleporting, but Maleficent intercepted the bird and made it change direction toward home, where it arrived before Jastor could finish teleporting, getting him out, as Rift made it to first and continued running. G1 couldn't locate a place to teleport to, Fin Fang Foom was on third and was using his telepathic powers to read G1's mind and knew where he wanted to teleport and blocking it. G1 then finally finished teleporting somewhere between second and third base, while Green had thrown the ball to Maleficent on second, getting him trapped. G1 ran to third as Maleficent threw the ball to Fin Fang Foom there to get him out, but at least Rift had made it to second.
"I saved my life!"
"I LIED!"
"Okay, that's enough, let me pitch."
"WHAT? I CAN DO IT!"
"I know, you haven't allowed a single run the entire game, you're awesome! But I think you're losing it. You want to kill our opponents now? Isn't that a bit too far?"
"AH! WHATEVER! PITCH IF YOU WANT! HAVE IT YOUR WAY!"
"Thank you."
"BUT IF WE LOSE BECAUSE OF YOU, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU AFTER THE CHAMPIONSHIP!"
"Ha! I'd like to see you try. Also, stop talking in ALL CAPS, looks like you're yelling."
"Sorry."
Rathalos is replacing Ridley on the pitch.<All players on bases are out, batter to second.>
Jaster out. G1 out. Rift on second.
--------
[2][1]
2 outs.
If the Dragons score they win.
6<2
After failing to hit the ball after 2 tries, with two strikes, King Ghidorah started moving all his heads frenetically, and it worked, he was hit by the ball on the nose of his right head. This counted as a Hit By Pitch, and Ghidorah earned first base.<Batter moves to first, players forced to move advance 1 base.>
Ghidorah on first.
--------
2 outs
Rift on second.
1=1
"Well, that's unfair. I had come with the perfect tactics to hit a home run against Ridley. A flawless plan of epic proportions. And you go and switch pitcher, sending me back to the drawing board."
"Yeah right."
Rathalos realized that this was a distraction, he looked around and saw Rift trying to steal third. He threw the ball to Fin Fang Foom there to get him out, but, despite not having any magic left Rift was a great runner and and managed to steal third before the ball arrived.
Next, Ib took a look at the sky on the outfield with its telescope, which was apparently repaired or a new one. Then, as Rathalos threw the ball, Rift started running towards first, and at the point it made contact with the telescope, it instantly teleported to the part of the sky where Ib was looking before. Smaug was there and caught the ball on the fly for the third out, but not before Rift had scored the first point of the Greedy Gobbos. Ib had hit a sacrifice fly.
"I can't believe this worked!"
"Rathalos! What are you doing! This is the beginning of the end! Stupid dragon! Don't let all my effort go to waste!"
"So you accept the mighty Dragons are having to put effort to beat the puny Gobbos?"
"SHUT UP YOU DRAGON FODDER!... Sorry, I mean: Shut up you dragon fodder!"
<Batter out, rest of players advance 3 bases>
Rift scored. Ib out. Third out. End of the top of the inning. The Dragons can try to score until getting three outs.
--------
The Greedy Gobbos 1 - The Dragons 2
Third inning.
[3][1]
2 outs. Ghidorah on first.
If the Dragons score they win.
0>5
G1 turned the ball invisible but Smaug just sent a big stream of flames that covered everything before him and sent the ball flying deep into right field. The ball was still invisible but not because it was in flames. Gil was there, who attempted to grab the ball after it bounced on the cheese but it burn its hand because of the flames, as Smaug had made it to first and Ghidorah to second and kept running. Gil used his fish tail to hit the ball to Ib on third but Ghidorah made it safe there before the ball arrived.<If there's exactly one batter on the bases, it moves 2 bases, and batter goes to first.>
Ghidorah to third, Smaug to first.
[1][2]
If the Dragons score they win.
0=0
"Oh yeah! Oh yeah! This is the dream situation where the little guy on the team helps score the winning run. With players on 1st and 3rd it looks very promising! Though, I wouldn't mind if we lost, I mean, it would be a spectacular recovery by the Greedy Gobbos if they defeated us, and it would have been very fun, but, if we're going to win, why not here and now?"
G1 made the ball invisible and threw it, Muchu just followed his intuition and swung the bat for a hit to Rift at short stop, who threw the ball to oid on second before Smaug arrived getting the third out, and finishing the bottom of the inning. "Aw, oh well, maybe next time!"
"Aaaagh! This game is going on forever! Is this a nightmare?! Why is it so hard to score a single run against these goblins? I don't get it!"
"We're 'Gobbos'. We're slow but steady, and not as inferior to Dragons as you may think."
"It was a rethorical question!"
<Batter moves to 2nd, if there were players on 1st and/or 2nd, they're out.>
Smaug out. Third out. End of the bottom of the inning.
The Greedy Gobbos 1 - The Dragons 2
Fourth inning.
4>2
"I sort of like you better than Ridley, unlike him, you look like a decent dragon."
"Of course I am! I like to burn villages and kill people, what dragon doesn't? I mean, REAL dragons. But, those are unknown people I don't care for, I would never dare to kill innocent people I know, like my opponents. Unless I disliked them. By the way, you're out."
While the conversation was happening, Rathalos had been throwing the ball to Ridley at home to strikeout Oid.
"What? Again?? Man, you haven't even seen me swing. Once you'll see me swing, bricks are going to come out of your butt, I swear!"
"Okaaay, I don't think so..."
<Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Oid out.
--------
[2][2]
If the Dragons score, they win.
6<2
G1 didn't know, but his invisible ball trick was useless against Fing, which just read G1's mind to know when he was going to throw the ball, and where. Fing hit the ball to the right line where it bounced before Gil could grab it, allowing Fing to reach first base.<Batter moves to first, players forced to move advance 1 base.>
Fing on first.
--------
1 out.
1=1
Bones came to bat with what was definitively a new femur. "Yeah, it's the other leg."
Oh. Huh... I didn't know players could hear me. This is awkward... Anyway, Bones hit the ball this time without breaking her bat bone. However, the ball popped out and it was an easy catch for Rathalos, getting her out.
<Batter out, rest of players advance 3 bases.>
Bones out.
--------
[3][2]
Fing Fan Foom on first.
If the Dragons score--
"Yes, I know, stop saying that!"
...they'd win...
0<1
Maleficent came to the plate in human form this time. G1 made the ball invisible and threw it, Maleficent didn't swing, and Green, the catcher, saw Fing Fan Foom attempting to steal second. He threw the ball to Oid there, but as the ball was still invisible, Oid falied to grab it, and Fing successfully stole second.<player on highest base steals a base and batter tries again. Another batter winning with a 1 becomes a walk.>
Fing Fan Foom on second.
[1][3]
0>5
Maleficent regained her dragon form, and created a bat made from pure magic. after G1 threw the invisible ball, she swung the bat, and as if by magic, hit it deep into the left field. Fing Fan Foom started to run to second, but Maleficent didn't run to first, instead, she ran towards third and put an enchantment on Jastor Gallywix to put him to sleep. He couldn't grab the ball, as Fing Fan Foom made it to third and started running towards home. Both Ib Halfheart and Gobbos tried to teleport for the ball at the same time, colliding and failing, just as Fing Fan Foom reached home for the winning run! And that's the game! "I'm still going to kill you Rathalos, for ruining our perfect score by allowing a run to home!"
Game result (okay to read)
<If there's exactly one batter on the bases, it moves 2 bases, and batter goes to first.>
Fing Fan Foom scores the winning run.
Final score: The Greedy Gobbos 1 - The Dragons 3
Well done Fortis! You won!
Greedy Gobos (darkpaladin109) loses $100
Bankroll: $900
The Dragons (Fortis) wins $200 and a stadium hotdog
Banroll: $1200 and a hotdog
"Wait, what kind of stadium hotdog?"
And then, a delicious humongous stadium sized hotdog fell from the sky.
"That is acceptable."
The Dragons ate it and after regaining their original size, proceeded to eat the pizza stadium and half the pizza slices that were in the audience. The legendary Pizza Stadium will be something for the history books, as it doesn't exist. However, the umpire made it alive.
"We did it! We did it! And I don't know how can they eat so much! I had enough with 8 pizza slices! *BURP* Oops! Sorry about that!"
