S02.E04: In The Big Inning

Quote

Jebediah Mumfort's keen eye and fast arm seem to be just what Walnut Grove's baseball team needs to go up against Sleepy Eye's powerful hurler, Slick McBurney, and end their long-standing losing streak. But, hopes are dashed when his devout wife, Margaret, finds out that most of the town is wagering on the outcome of the game and refuses to let him play.

The pitcher is a ringer, so they're sure to win, if his wife will let him play.

Looking forward to the snapshots of the scenes you talked about. Loved the sex popcorn TWoP reference too. This was an episode that was better enjoyed as a recap via podcast than watching. Back when, it was one of my lesser fave eps. How can old timey baseball compare with rat plague infested wheat or corn or whatever it was or a child/man killing blizzard or Carrie drooling over a tinfoil ornament or Nellie getting thrown down a hill in a wheelchair.

Speaking of... Aww shoot, that's not til Season 3 ep 3. Got a ways to go. At least Ma Almost Hacks Off Her Leg is a great one to look forward to this season.

I'm very happy that I have absolutely no memory of this episode. Although I do remember a lot of eating popcorn in bed.
