PETE’S PICKS: BATTLE AT THE BOUNCE HOUSE
Matchup:
🦂 Scorch (San Antonio Scorpions) vs. 🏉 Crash (San Antonio Armadillos)
The Setup:
Two red-themed mascots enter the ring of inflatable doom—a bounce house arena in the outfield during Kids Day. Rules? There are none. The first one to yeet the other through the mesh wall wins.
💥 The Tale of the Tape
🔥 Scorch – The Desert Demon
Snack Speed: 8/10 (fastest at stealing churros from children)
Stadium Hype Level: 6/10 (scares toddlers, confuses adults)
Signature Move: Scorpion Stinger Slam – a flying tail-thrust spin move that may or may not violate several mascot conduct codes
Biggest Weakness: Inflatable surfaces… Scorpions aren’t exactly known for bounce.
🛡️ Crash – The Rolling Wrecking Ball
Snack Speed: 5/10 (eats nachos like a sad divorced dad)
Stadium Hype Level: 9/10 (kids love a cuddly tank with tiny arms)
Signature Move: Bulldozer Hug – an affectionate but unstoppable barrel that flattens anything in his path
Biggest Weakness: Gets winded after 14 seconds of movement.
🧠 Pete’s Analysis:
Crash is the crowd favorite, but Scorch fights dirty. Real dirty. Last season, he stole Frostbite’s fish cooler and planted glitter bombs in Tank’s locker. But in a bounce house? That tail’s gonna get tangled like a garden hose on a trampoline.
Crash has home turf advantage (they blew up the bounce house behind Mission Park Field), and his low center of gravity makes him practically un-yeetable.
🏁 Pete’s Pick:
🛡️ Crash wins via belly flop of doom at the 1-minute mark.
💬 “Scorch tried a tail-spin suplex and bounced himself out of the ring. That’s not a loss. That’s comedy.” – Penalty Pete
