DERP 2!

When last we visited the Land-O-DERP! Wes Musick from OKC was the clear leader in the clubhouse for DERP of the Year...

There is DERP, and there is DERP!
This would fall under the latter.

...but not so fast my friend! The Sky Sox own Dan Merklinger said, 'NOT IN OUR HOUSE' and DERPED up a storm during his September 1st start:

Dan Merklinger in pre-DERP mode

Why did Dan go Full-DERP Mode? Maybe it was because it was Avengers Night:

Everyone, except the chick, looks like they just picked
up their costumes at Target before the game.

Kay-riste! Talk about mailing it in.
Hulk SMASH! This Hulk SUCK!

Sucky Avengers or not, maybe Dan didn't need a reason and just showed how much of a pro he was and brought out his full DERP in a meaningless September game:

DERRRRRRRRRRP!

Kind of looks like he's going to be sick.
Maybe he'll look different in better light...

...NOPE. Better light seems to make it worse.

Maybe his tongue is too big.
It's always just there. Is there a name for a
syndrome where you have a giant tongue?

Hey! It's gone!
He was just so full of DERP that he couldn't contain it!

Merklinger's line for the night, 3 IP/0 RUNS/3 HITS/2 BB/ 2 K's. Well done Dan. Well done. You've done DERPing proud!
