    This show was well written, believable and very well shot. The music was exciting and the stakes felt real. The cast is fantastic and Dan Fogelman really makes us root for Ginny Baker to succeed and for Zack Morris with a beard and the less grumpy dad from the Wonder Years to win!

    This show is a shameful attempt to capitalize on sexism in sports. It does not promote or align with feminism in any way. It is a contrived attempt at appearing to support gender equality and womens rights by people who don't espouse those beliefs and want to make some money off of whats topical. It actually perpetuates anti feminist ideals, like feminism being equated with the 'man hating' and matriarchy loving extremists, rather than true equality.Equally as damaging, it perpetuates the idea that a woman must be 'model pretty' to be valued and included in the first place....Even though it would be pointless to allow women in sports if their appearance still effected their value as a player, when a mans does not. If the show wanted to actually be relate-able to women, they should have cast an actress for her throwing ability rather than her appearance. Practice what you preach!

    I was skeptic about this show's success, but I was very intrigued right away. I am a big baseball fan, but I thought it would be too feminist for me. I am a guy that is bigly anti-feminism (not to be confused with sexist) and thought it's focus would be too much on that. Although there was some of that, it focused on the baseball element and that it was tougher biologically for a woman than for a man. Acting is good, love how they can incorporate MLB teams (I thought I saw Andrew McCutchen batting for the Dodgers). Give this show a shot. It kind of reminds me of Arrow, with the constant flashbacks. However some of the flashbacks are very entertaining seeing Ginny's minor league days. Even the style of baseball played by the actors is fooling, because it looks pretty legit, especially with the FOX Sports layout for the games on television. MLB should invest in more baseball TV Series', because this is very good.

    I like this show. I think it has great potential, a strong cast and an excellent premise. It's about time we start see TV shows featuring female athletes. I actually teared up in the pilot seeing the "fans" react to Ginny arriving at the stadium. This show is inspiring. It also has great life lessons in it, about not admitting defeat and finding your own path to pursue your dreams. No two journeys will be the same and I love that this show is highlighting that. I'm excited to see where this show goes. It has great potential to really reshape how we think about professional sports and demonstrate a different society. I wish the cast and crew all the best and hope they take this opportunity to really make a mark with this show.
