Reed Richards throws a ceremonial first pitch in an Avengers baseball promo

Reed Richards gets welcomed to the mound, and a Captain America joke landed hard with us

The Avengers baseball promo opens with a stadium announcer welcoming Reed Richards to the mound for a ceremonial first pitch. The setup is simple: "these ceremonial first pitches are getting bigger and bigger."

Reed Richards and the stretch windup

As the announcer calls "And here is Reed Richards with the windup," the next line is "Wow, I've never seen that kind of stretch."

The Captain America joke

Before the pitch, the bit turns to who could be trusted on the mound, with "Cap on the mound" met by "Depends which Cap you're talking about." Then comes the line: "Right, Cap? I mean, Steve. Right, Steve?" Our reaction was simple: "They got us so hard with that."
