Another song about a pitcher in the Seattle Garages Blaseball Team.
This one's Ron Monstera, who is a monster that experiments in electroacoustic music:

lyrics

I don’t need a catcher
all I need are these two massive hands
To put you out to pasture!
Plus I can fistfight with your classist dad!!
I’ll bring him to the rapture!!!
I promise I’m usually a passive man.
They say that I’m a monster
I’m just a pitcher with some cool elastic pants
Will they ever let me be myself?
I wonder
As I wander
Around the south end of seattle
I watch the light rail
Stop
But I never get on
Because I’m too tall
I don’t talk to
Cops
I just kick flip over their cars
Like my best friend tony hawk
As I dream
Of blaseball
As I wander up to belltown

This is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel
I can still pitch with the fundamentals
My arms the perfect tool
They just say batter up
The catcher signals me
I never break a sweat
This pitch is destiny
And it’s another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I’m a monster but I’m no fool

Every morning I wake up
Before I put on my monster makeup
I dream a little dream of you
And you
The fans of the seattle garages
I know at first you were afraid, you were petrified
Wondering how you’d have a monster pitcher on your side
I hope after the past few seasons that’s you’re pleasantly surprised because
I know that I’m a monster
But I’m still an asset on this team
Can you just let me live?
I wonder
As I wander
Up through all of gas works park

This is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel
I can still pitch with the fundamentals
My arms the perfect tool
They just say batter up
The catcher signals me
I never break a sweat
This pitch is destiny
And it’s another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I’m a monster but I’m no fool

This is “experiment with formal structure, opus 337, by Ron monstera. Inspired by ligeti, john zorn, Wendy carlos, and tot clark.”
]This is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel
I can still pitch with the fundamentals
My arms the perfect tool
They just say batter up
The catcher signals me
I never break a sweat
This pitch is destiny
And it’s another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I’m a monster but I’m no fool

…thank you
