    This one took me a while because I was stuck on JAMBA Juice 😆
    • damefox constructor · 2024-05-26T17:34:59.780Z
      I thought that might throw people lol. It wasn't intentional though, the fill just worked out that way. I'm hoping LEFT Field is a bit stronger of a click, even though Field MOUSE is admittedly tricky.
      • Kent D 🤓15s · 2024-05-26T18:48:16.122Z
        Then what's even funnier is that when I was trying to figure something besides juice I reread the clue for MOUSE and field just hit me 😆

          Went through the exact same cycle, ha
          • Philip Chow 🤓1:06 · 2024-05-26T23:51:41.024Z
            Me too lol!
    • Sendhil Revuluri 🤓34s · 2024-05-26T16:13:34.323Z
      Another fun one, thank you!
      • frostyjhammer 🤓53s · 2024-05-26T18:15:09.631Z
        Fun. One thing: most batters are right handed and most hits are pulled, so the worst fielder will usually be delegated to right field, not left field.
        • Mike 🤓1:11 · 2024-05-26T22:16:06.679Z
          That's what I played! (was terrible)
          • damefox constructor · 2024-05-27T23:11:39.904Z
            Ahahaha well this is great because now I can say I wrote the clue just to make Mike feel better about himself and not because I know very little about baseball. 😂 I'll change "worst player" to "player with the worst arm" - I think I'm right about that? In theory? Shorter throw to third base, less important to have a good arm.

          Thanks, Emma!

            Team Juice. And I can attest that I played a lot of Right Field as a kid
