Wait, shes not done.

That, right there, is a once-in-a-lifetime comeback.

Its not her fault.

FOX signs her paychecks, and I dont expect her to turn down good side-gig money.

But really, do we need to see her setting up whats going on in MLB-land every single episode?

Give her and the rest of the cameo-making sportscasters the week off.

I shouldnt be seeing more ofGarbage Timewhile watchingPitchthan I should the shows actual coach.

And actually, I think it nailed the tense agony of trade culture even better than that movie did.

the way everyone always looks in real life.

And dont forget Eliot.

Eliot…is walking somewhere with his guitar.

Ask for character development, and ye shall receive.

An open mic night?

A jam sesh with his best bros from USC?

Well get to the bottom of this someday.

When the deadline finally passes, Blip is safe but Tommy is gone for good.

Sad-face Mets hair emoji!

That came out of nowhere.

Or wait, maybe that Butch fella is Vince?

He kept getting jerked around about his job.

Its likeMedellinall over again.)

The point is:Pitchneeds to move past its Ginny-as-untouchable-sensation phase.

You know how it felt strangely satisfying, watching Oscar dress her down for making demands about Blip?

Thats a sign the show needs to take her down a peg.

The kids dad was a drunk, yada yada.Kinda lame, I thought.

Will I never learn?

Bam: It turns out the besties dad was the drunken driver who killed Ginnys dad.
