what's best for the team. Okay? Just 'cause the governor
is going to be here doesn't mean I start the kid. I love it, Murph,
you're a purist. Maybe that's why I've
kept you around, given you so many chances.
What? The spotlight will be
on the Rats this weekend. Don't blow it. If you'll excuse me, Warren,
I have some managing to do. Mr. Murphy. Come on in, Mick, take a seat. How are you doing? How are things at the house
with the fellas? All good, Mr. Murphy. "All good"? Did Pee Wee tell
you to say that? Yes. [Chuckles] Up high. Down low. Too slow!
Oh! [Laughs] All right, you're learning
a lot of new things. All right. That's great. So the guys are
helping you out, giving you everything you need? Yeah, the guys,
they're real nice. Great. So what do you guys do
in your free time, for fun? We, uh, make dinner, watch TV. Play video games.
Video games? You know, Pee Wee can't hit
in the video games neither. [Laughs] That's great. Look, Mick, how would you like
to start today's game for us? Uh, Lefty still has
pitches left. What do you mean? Lefty threw 76 pitches
last game. Usually throws 130,
sometimes 136. Lefty still has
54 pitches left. Maybe more. Did you count his pitches? I'm good at math. You're great at math, Mick,
you're fantastic at math. How do you feel?
Your arm feeling good? You think you could start
the game for us today? It's a big game. But Lefty's pitches... I tell you what, you could borrow
Lefty's pitches, you could pay him back later. We... We do it
all the time. Okay, yeah, I could do that,
Mr. Murphy. All right, Mick,
then you're our guy. Hey, down low. Oh, too slow. [Both laugh] [Sighs] ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen, let's extend a warm
Clayton Field welcome to our special guest
for today's game, Governor Walter Harrigan! [Cheering] GOVERNOR: Go, Rats! WOMAN: Go, Rats! ANNOUNCER: Today's starting
pitcher for your River Rats, Mickey Tussler. [Crowd cheering]
[Organ playing] Come on, now, look alive! WOMAN: Go, Mickey! Mickey! Strike one! [Cheering and applause] [Organ playing] Time! Whoa, whoa, whoa! ANNOUNCER: Time-out has been
called on the field. Let's take a look at that glove. Sherlock Holmes over here says
he wants to look at my glove. Says there's something
wrong with... Gimme that.
What is that, paint? Painting a target
on your glove? That's got to be illegal, ump.
What?! There's nothing in the rule book
says you can't have a little bit of paint
inside a glove! He's just trying to get
into my pitcher's head. A little bit?! Does that
look like a little bit? I don't think so.
That's a little bit of paint and it's not illegal. Murph, I'm sorry,
I'm at a loss here. You might be right.
But be that as it may, I gotta take the glove
out of the game. Wow, unbelievable! Give the guy a break, Murph.
He's just trying to do his job. So, what, I'm just supposed
to let him take my glove?! It's lucky, it's my charm.
I'm not gonna let him take it! All right, fine. We'll use
the extra mitt for now. After the game
we'll clean yours up. Okay? It'll be good as new. This is bush. I don't make the rules.
UMPIRE:
Let's go, let's go. [Organ playing] They're making Boxcarchange his glove. Something about the paint. Will it have an apple? You put it there. Okay?
Use your imagination. [Crowd cheering and shouting] You know, it's... it's so loud. That's because they're
cheering for you, Mick. They're all cheering for you. Just block it all out, okay? Pretend you're back
on the farm with Oscar. With Oscar? Okay. You can do this, Mick. Let's go. MICKEY: Will it have an apple?
MURPH:
You put it there. Okay? MURPH: Use your imagination. CLARENCE: Mickey,forget about all the people. This is about you. Now let's go win a ribbon, son. Play ball! [Crowd shouting] MURPH: Use your imagination. [Grunting] MURPH: You put it there. [Crowd exclaiming and cheering] You're outta here! [Loud cheering] Wow! [Cheering continues]
MAN:
Way to go, Mickey! It must be a bad bat. Right, Murph? Yeah, or a really hard ball. I... I've never seen heatlike that before. Yeah, but at what price? Lefty, Lefty! Man, it should've been me
out there. I know, it's totally unfair. If they're not going
to let you play, shouldn't we be able to at least
sit together in the dugout? Are you bonkers? Do you have any idea what
I'm talking about right now? No. [Laughs] Is that from some girl? No. Just go home, okay? I'll call you later.
Promise? Yeah. Okay, guys, good win, good win! Way to finish it out today! Well done!
Good job, guys! Hey, Mick, you okay? A little tired,
Mr. Murphy. Well, that's understandable
after a performance like that. It was magnificent.
I've never seen a ball cut through a bat
like that in my life. I'm sorry.
It won't happen again. No. No, no, no,
that's a good thing, Mick. What you did today was great. Really, really good. Thanks, Mr. Murphy. Murph. Just call me Murph. Okay, Mr. Murph. [Laughs] Great job, Mickey. [Organ playing] [Lively chatter] Oh, hey, guys!
Listen up for a sec. Party at Fletcher Field
tonight. You guys are all invited. [Men whoop and cheer] How about you, Sauce?
Wanna come out tonight, hang with the guys?
PEE WEE:
I don't know, Lefty. I don't think Skipwould appreciate me dragging Mick out to a party. So many people and all. Come on, we're all friends,
right? Okay, Lefty. I'll come to your party. All right. See? Yeah, I like this guy. Man, he gives you trouble, you
just leave him at home, all right? See you guys tonight. [Music playing loudly]
[Lively chatter] PEE WEE: All right, Sauce, we're
not going to stay too long. We'll just say "what's up"
to the fellas, then we'll go home, okay? Okay. Hey, guys, what's up?
Thanks for coming. Sauce, you're looking fine. I can see Pee Wee here
is your fashion consultant. Nice bling.
Extremely nice bling. Nice sideburns, man. You're about an inch short
of an Elvis lawsuit. Thank you. What's going on, man? This isn't like you
to throw a party. What do you mean?
I'm throwing a party. Hey, come on, loosen up,
all right? Look, I got some friends
I want you guys to meet. Come on, come here. Ladies, this is Pee Wee
right here. Pee Wee, the ladies. WOMAN: Nice. Uh, Mick, I'll... I'll be back. He'll be back. Hey, Mick, listen,
there's somebody, uh, really special that
I want you to meet, okay? Laney, this is Mickey. Mickey, Laney. I... I know all about you, Mickey.
I'm a big fan. Ahem. Of the...
Of the River Rats. I'm a huge fan
of the River Rats, is what I meant...to say. LEFTY: You guys
have fun, okay? MICKEY: Um... Uh, so, Mickey,
you were amazing out there. What's it like to pitch
for the Rats? Uh, it's pretty good. Well, it must be hard coming up
against all those hitters. I just try to forget about
the noise and all the people. What do you think about? Throwing apples on the farm. My pet pig, Oscar. Uh, I wouldn't have
thought of that. Here, um...
Come and sit by me, Mickey. Uh, anybody ever tell you
