Transcript

"ILL — innings lost to lollygagging · ETV — enjoyability on television · CTD — catch, throw, dance · VHW — very high waistbands · NGS — noogies · BFD — best friends on defense"

Coach: "Time to cut the ILLs, boys. Next time your VHW brings down our team's ETV, I'm gonna give you so many NGS you won't know your CTDs from your BFDs."
