Play Hardball is a Cog Move. The move can be preformed by Loan Sharks and Corporate Raiders.
Animation
The Cog pulls out a baseball and says a phrase. The Cog will then throw it to the targeted Toon. If the move hits, the ball will hit the Toon's head, causing the Toon to fall backwards on its bottom. The Toon will eventually get up.
If the move misses, the Toon will move out of the way as the ball is thrown.
Phrases
- "This is your final inning."
- "Hey, batter batter."
