What’s a girl gotta do to get beaned?

To avenge this, the Padres want to throw at a Cards' batter.
Ginny isn’t having any of it.
Now we’re learning the third one: No Special Treatment.
So Ginny goes out and throws at a Cardinal batter.
Does the pitch come in at the pace of a Mama Rowengartner floater fromRookie of the Year?
Yeah, pretty much.
Does it earn Tommy’s respect?
So that’s good.
“Is he afraid to hurt me?”
she says, aghast.
“What’s a girl gotta do to get beaned?”
She shoves the catcher, and a benches-clearing brawl ensues.
(Sidenote: Three episodes in, the physical fighting is already getting old.
If this was real life, half the league would be suspended right now.)
One of them mutters, “I’m too old for this crap.”
That settles Ginny’s quest to fit in for the moment.
But the headline of this episode isn’t her guy trouble it’s her boy trouble.
I know what you’re thinking: Ginny Doesn’t Date Ballplayers.
That’s catchphrase commandment number four!
She adjusts his swing.
That’s right: Trevor isthe Rene Russoin this relationship.
Trevor has resurfaced with some oh-so-current bad news: His computer was hacked.
This, I call B.S.
Disclaimer: Anyone anywhere has the right to have pictures of whatever and have those pictures protected.
Not trying to slut-shame.
She’s paranoid about slip-ups and impropriety.
So I don’t buy this development.
It feels likePitchtrying to be like, “2016, amirite?”
“Hey, Eliot shaved!”
I found myself thinking enthusiastically upon seeing him soul-patch-less in this episode.
But the most fascinating thing about Amelia so far is… she’s slept with Lawson.
Most of Blip’s lines concern his wife’s spending habits.
Al has escaped termination, but… what do we do with him now?
It looks like it was just dragged off a shipwreck.
And Eliot’s facial hair has grown and changed more than he has.
When it comes to character development, it’s time for a call to the bullpen.
Was anyone else rolling their eyes at thenaked-picsstory line?
What do you make of Trevor?
And which characters would you jettison to streamline the series?
