ep 5 The reveal about who killed Ghost Dad was pretty nuts, I hope it comes up again because right now that info has nowhere to go.. Loved the front office stuff. Kraps fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Oct 28, 2016 |

Watched the first two episodes and noticed Mark Paul Gosselar's name near the start of the title screen of the first episode and before the second episode and was wondering when we would get to see him, since I didn't think I saw him in the first episode. Then I looked at the catcher. Totally did not recognize him.

I was surprised they didn't use a knuckleball for her secret pitch and also surprised that she's a starting pitcher rather than a reliever, both for narrative reasons and the idea that she's successful largely in part because people don't know how to handle the screwball. I've been enjoying the show a lot more than I expected though.

I don't think the show is really marketed towards actual baseball fans, most of the baseball stuff is super unrealistic

Speaking of baseball stuff, I was wondering how far apart the Padres and the Yankees are with the ability to pay the biggest bucks, it came up in the last ep when the GM talked with the free agent catcher.

Baseball doesn't really have a salary cap like other sports so the disparity in payrolls between major market teams, and the rest of the league is ridiculous. The Dodgers had the highest payroll this season at $223,352,402, compared to the lowest, the Astros at $69,064,200. The Padres aren't really a small market team though. They actually have the 10th highest payroll out of 30 teams this season ($126,369,628), but even still it is just over half of the Yankees payroll ($213,472,857)

The latest episode was like what I wanted the Draft Day movie to be (it was awful and somehow less realistic).

This show is great and I'm an idiot for reading the second post in this thread before finishing the latest episode but that's my own drat fault and I gotta admit it was a hell of a moment

I'm catching up on episodes. Mike being a stathead when he's nervous is a bit unrealistic given what I know about players but I like it. I'm kinda  every time there's signs with little girls being happy and inspired that Ginny is there. Maybe someday...

I love this show about as much as anyone possibly could, I think. It's a girl who looks like (hotter) me doing my dream job and being best friends with Zack Morris. But even grading on that curve the writing's pretty weak. The flashbacks are boring and feel like a narrative dead end. Her dad could have been an interesting driver for tension as she outgrows the child prodigy phase of pitching, but instead they killed him off and nothing new the audience learns about him is ever going to change Ginny's story in the present. I do enjoy that this show seems to take place in a Demolition Man-style universe where the broadcast wars happened and only Fox media properties survived.

The flashbacks really run the gamut from decent to flat-out stupid, with the one this week about Mike's childhood being a strong example of the latter.

I really love Pitch, and I feel bad saying this, but I think I'm gonna fast forward through flashbacks on this show until it gets cancelled or they magically stop being redundant

The best thing about the Mike flashback was recognising both the actors who played his parents from Scrubs

But I do agree the flashbacks are a little dull

Ratings are below the "Mulaney line" on Thursday nights. It might have had a shot without the sophomore season of Rosewood failing too

Why the gently caress did they put it on Thursdays in the first place. This is a Monday night show if I ever saw one.
