[[Beret Guy is most definitely sitting at a desk, in what may or may not be an announcer's box. Beret Guy has what may or may not be an active headset with microphone on under his hat.]]
Beret Guy: For those just joining us, hi! We're on part 5 of a hitting game.
Beret Guy: The next guy has a big bat, so he'll probably hit the ball real far. huh?

-
Wait- he missed!
-
Oh good, they're letting him try again.
Beret Guy: The people sitting on the chair shelves are yelling at this guy, but he's ignoring them. Wow.
-
Rude.
Beret Guy: This thrower is good! He keeps making people leave by throwing balls at them.
-
It's just him though. None of his teammates are joining in.
Beret Guy: That guy just ran to the second pillow when no one was looking!

Everyone's real mad but I guess they checked the rules and there's nothing that says he can't do that.

Yikes. Hopefully they can fix that once this game is over.
{{Title text: The thrower started hitting the bats too much, so the king of the game told him to leave and brought out another thrower from thrower jail.}}
