Pitch Source

Pitch Source is a blog dedicated to FOX's new show Pitch airing Thursday's at 9:00 pm Eastern time starting September 22. Playing in the major leagues is a goal hard enough for anyone to achieve – except this player is also a woman, who happens to be the most important historical figure in sports since Jackie Robinson. This season, Ginny Baker will be the other woman trying to break into one of the oldest, most exclusive men’s clubs in the country. Tracked tags: pitchsource, pitchfox, pitchedit. (put it in the first five tags if you wanna be reblog.)

get to know me: favorite female characters [2/5]

♛ Ginny Baker ♛

(Your teammates are excited to meet you.)

No, they’re not. Ticketing and sales people, they’re excited to meet me. My teammates, 75% of them think I’m the next San Diego Chicken, the other 25 just wanna see me shower, and I bet your manager thinks you should’ve called up Walker instead of me. I’m just here because of all that. But none of that matters, you know why? Because today I’m the starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres.

Pitch May Get Another Inning — Report

With apologies to baseball sage Yogi Berra, sometimes it ain’t over even after it’s over: Pitch may be revived

With apologies to baseball sage Yogi Berra, sometimes it ain’t over even after it’s over: Pitch may be revived for Season 2, according to a recent report.

Fox cancelled the sports drama, in which Kylie Bunbury played the first female Major League Baseball pitcher during her rookie season, in 2017. Now, Disney’s 20th TV may bring Pitch back, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The revival reportedly would be part of a plan to ensure that series creator Dan Fogelman, who also created 20th Century Television’s This Is Us, stays at the studio when his current deal is up. TVLine has reached out to 20th TV for comment.

Pitch did well with critics when it premiered in 2016 but averaged barely 3 million viewers and an 0.8 rating. When the show was cancelled, Bunbury posted to Instagram that her heart was “heavy” and that playing Ginny Baker had “profoundly changed my life and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to play a role that resonated with so many people.”

At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, her co-star Mark-Paul Gosselaar told TVLine that he and Bunbury were “blindsided” by the series’ abrupt ending — so much so that they hadn’t had any conversations with the show’s producers about how season-ending storylines like Ginny’s injury or the almost-kiss between Ginny and Lawson would’ve played out.

“We all thought we’d resolve those issues in the second season,” he said. (Watch full interview below.)

Bunbury can next be seen in Ava duVernay’s Netflix miniseries When They See Us about the Central Park Five. Gosselaar currently stars in the sci-fi drama The Passage, which Fox has not yet renewed for Season 2.

#PickUpPitch Final Plea

It looks like this week may be the last opportunity for Pitch to be picked up, while Hulu’s head of content Craig Erwich is at the ATX Festival with Pitch’s creators. Our goal is to get #PickUpPitch trending! To do this EVERYONE needs to use twitter to tweet #PickUpPitch (@hulu) during the 2pm hour, on Friday June 9th, 2017. Between 12pm to 6pm we need an average of 1500 tweets and about 812 users to be considered “Trending". This is likely the last shot to get the show back and we’d appreciate everyone and anyone’s help even if you don’t watch the show! Please help us bring this wonderful show back! Every tweet counts! 💕

Pitch ♦ I don’t need a speech from you today. I don’t need a speech from you, or my father, or my brother, or my agent. I don’t need some billionaire taking me all around the world as if I got nothing better to do. He can watch me train in Arizona if he wants to. I don’t need a man to rescue me. I’m the one on the mound right now. Me. I throw the ball. I give the speeches. And I decide if you and I are going to talk about what happened the other night not you. And I decided we’re not by the way because we’re teammates. And as long as we’re teammates that’s how we’re going to be.

“Yes. I’m a ballplayer who plays with men. Men who still look at me and see boobs and an ass and everything that goes with it. You have no idea what I deal with. Half the guys around me are misogynists who don’t think a woman deserves a shot, and the other half are worse.”
