Zero interest
FOX has become BET - Broadcast

No interest at all, it looks terrible.

Looks absolutely terrible
And no I'm not just some sexist, the concept of a female being good enough to pitch conventionally in the majors is beyond comical

The fact that the female lead in this show looks exactly like a girl trying to throw a ball for the first time instead of a fluid motion just makes me want to laugh at the producers that green lit this crap.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest a woman has ever pitched a baseball is 69 MPH.
Apparently the dad in the show knows she can't pitch as fast as her male counterparts, so he recommends that she master the screwball to counteract her lack of power.
Problem is, a good screwball travels between 70-80 MPH. I know it's television, but a female pitcher in the major leagues? Yeah...not worth my time. If she had been a first or second basemen it might have been a little more believable.

Actually ABC is the new minority channel.
They hired the first black female president in network history last year and she said her goal was to get MORE diverse and add more shows like Blackish and off the boat.
Just curious if a white person said that how it would go over.

I liked it better when it was Leela being the worst pitcher ever in blurnsball.

Damn, I just saw this commercial during the Saints/Raiders game.
This has unintentional comedy written all over it. I know TV and movies are make-believe-land...but this will be an hour of eye-rolling and cheesy dialogue.

I wonder how fast she can throw

Assuming it makes it to episode nine, I'm sure we'll see an entire storyline around having to lay down a bunt in an extra innings situation.

Yeah frick that.
Mo'ne Davis should fricking sue.

Will not watch. I was a softball pitcher who threw in the 50s from only 40 feet away. No fricking way I could ever pitch a baseball well enough to make a high school JV team, much less a college or MLB team.
A knuckle ball (that someone mentioned) might not be that taxing on the arm, but you still have to get it 60 ft 6 inches and in the strike zone. Phil Niekro had issues with that on occasion.
