Premise for the show is too dumb for me to give it a try.

She'd have a 11.47 ERA after 3 starts in real life and her career would be over.

Well this probably won't change your mind but she makes it on a trick pitch (screwball) and she's not some Strasburg type prospect. 5 years in minors.

So they are trying to make it believable

The US Woman's team best pitcher throws 82, I'm sure eventually some Brittany Griner type freak will come along and throw 90+

Making TV shows based on commercials always works out.

Is the main character the same actress from the commercial?

Read the AV Club review of the pilot.

While I appreciate the effort the people behind this show have gone to in order to turn my childhood daydreams into a TV show (they even cast Zack Morris!), she should be a shortstop for the White Sox, not a pitcher for the Padres. I’ll try to forgive this misstep, since they did show a winning White Sox box score at one point, which is how I knew this was a fictional world (sad trombone).

:(

Do you think the producers and Fox execs got into an Abbot & Costello routine during the pitch meeting for this she? I say yes.

It was Necessary Roughness and that is probably the greatest football movie of all time. Scott Bakula, Larry Miller AND Robert Loggia?!? That should have been a franchise movie.

Good call. I guess I'm not a fan of Necessary Roughness.

Oh yeah. If that doesn't fire you up then nothing will.

There's a lot of comedic potential in an Ed "Straight Arrow" Gennaro mult.
