"Oh, these are the worst-looking sock I've ever seen. What, when you wear socks like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?"

Pitcher looks dumbfounded, and doesn't understand.

"Oh, it looks good on you though." :eye roll:

JJ,

No, any of those sounds appropriate to me. I mean, if you can't have a little fun out there, what's the point?

I would probably substitute "your Mom" or "your girlfriend" for "your Coach" on the "Who dressed you" question, but that's really a matter of personal preference.

I think I liked "Lose a bet?" the best.

Me too, perhaps because it's the most likely to elicit a confounded stare.

I have used that line before -- I think when commenting on some haircut.

I make sure to say it loud enough for teammates to hear. It always gets a laugh from them.

I have also used something like, "We usually only see that kind of thing in Girls' softball."

It's never appropriate to "saunter" out to the mound.....
