Just finished binge watching whole season and loved it!!!!! Engaged initially not expecting a "this could happen some day" story rather more of corny and predictable one. I am a female athlete, a baseball fan and, know a bit about dugout/clubhouse/road trips shenanigans and stories. I found the show to be fabulous and so very entertaining!!
You don't have to be a true baseball fan to enjoy and be entertained but... if you love baseball you will appreciate so much more things like; retaliation from a pitcher hitting a batter and how it will all go down, behaviors around a possible no hitter in progress, missing lucky nasty t-shirt, etc. The struggles of being replaced due to injury and fighting to get your position back. The sometimes incomprehensible journey Latin players go through and how it defines the emotional shields they carry with them. I could go on.. The show also did a fantastic job taking very unpredictable turns on scenes like; Baker's first outing as a pitcher or as a hitter keeping the viewer (or at least me) with an OMG excitement-I didn't not see that coming. Bringing real life celebrities to play themselves (Kimmel, Smoltz, Buck) was a homerun! Key parts of the story were very Moneyball like portraying the ever going contrast in today's professional sports between management/business and the athlete's passion for the game/team. I could go on but too many spoilers already.. Sorry! Last and most important I enjoyed everyone of the main characters and their roles. Casting was perfect! Please find a way to bring season 2!!!
