Boozy Beginnings: The Pitch Pilot

Send us a text

Happy Wine Wednesday, Pitches! Sheena joins me this week to discuss a beloved show that was cancelled far too soon - Pitch.  We unpack the pilot episode of the show and work through some of our salty feelings about this fantastic series only getting one season.

We kick off by discussing our introduction to Ginny Baker - portrayed by the amazing Kylie Bunbury - and the use of sports commentary to help us get acquainted with the glass ceiling smashing pitcher and the world in which she is making her debut as the first woman to be called up to a Major League Baseball team. 

Next, we get into memorable character introductions outside of Ginny.  We talk about the influence and abuse of her father Bill Baker (Michael Beach).  We discuss Amelia (Ali Larter) as Ginny's no nonsense agent and we swoon over Blip Sanders (Mo McRae).

We share our thoughts on what worked well in the pilot and whether there was anything we would have done differently.  And as always, you know we got into our thirsty thoughts inspired by this very hot cast. 

Friendly reminder: we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

Thanks so much for listening!
