Today’s meta has been somewhat delayed. Peter is hopeful that he can get it out later today.

It is out:

I blame all typos, missing/wrong clues, bad fill, etc. on the start of the school year ...

Very fun.

Oh no. I see sportsball.

As long as you have your batting averages memorized you'll be fine.

omg

That was fun.....if not BIG!

That WAS fun. I'm not even 100% sure I turned in the right answer (all those batting averages, y'know...) but I still liked it a lot. One of my favorite kinds of puzzles, in a very general sense.

Now if only I could drag myself up off this extra soft couch...

Back in the day at the bar, a favorite trivia question was: Who is the only major league baseball player to have committed suicide during the season?

The smart aleck customer would reply: Willard Hershberger.

The smarter guy behind the stick would respond: Yeah, what was he batting when he died?

Got it after sacrificing my PGW solves due to meta fatigue over the past few weeks. Think I still need a nap....on the couch.

Off the bench, or whatever we're saying. This one required a 3-minute "close my eyes and think about taking a nap" interlude, which abruptly ended with a "I coulda had a V8!" head-slap.

Off the bench ... I believe.

Awaiting confirmation from Peter G. My answer sure makes sense. But just to be sure, in case I’m missing something ...

Fun! Tough grid though, Google got a workout.

Oh I think I solved but didn’t post.

Peter confirmed: I’m off the bench and in the game!

Thought I was, but feared that I might be missing an additional piece ... or something. There was ... something ... that was giving me that feeling. I didn’t need to sweat it.

Beamed up to the couch on the shore

Cool meta.

For that vision you get a mixed drink.

And I have joined all you solvers wherever you are.
