JOE BUCK And there you have it. For the first time in history, a woman has taken the mound in a Major League Baseball game. TOMMY Enjoy your moment in the sun. 'Cause there's 29 pro teams as we speak figuring out that little trick pitch of yours, and when they do, I'll get my job back and you'll become the answer to a trivia question. REPORTER According to many sources, Ginny is a distraction. AL Well, if I can keep my trap shut, there'll be no distraction. Geez! Guys, can we just go back to talking about how pretty the girl is? FRANK Al is done. Choose an interim manager. I want it done by week's end. BUCK They're going to fire you. GINNY I really ought to take the players' bus. I got to be one of the guys right now, Amelia. AMELIA Ginny, look in the mirror. You are never gonna be one of the guys. MIKE Is Ginny getting us more attention, huh? MIKE Yeah, yeah, she is, man. Which sucks, 'cause we're losing in front of sold-out crowds. How about we start winning in front of sold-out crowds? Maybe we all start working as hard as her. Maybe we start acting like a team instead of a bunch of spoiled brats. Then maybe I'll feel lucky that you guys are all I have. DICK ENBERG Now, this is big, Mark. The question is whether Buck Garland is going to use a pinch hitter, given what just happened last inning. MARK GRANT Yeah, tough position for a guy managing his first game, Dick. but he's gonna let her hit. CROWD BUCK Come on, Gin. ENBERG Oh, my, so Buck is going to let Ginny Baker face the big right-hander Greg Mount. And you can feel the blood pressure spiking here at Petco. GRANT It's a big enough challenge for the first woman in Major League Baseball to compete against men in the sport, but now things could get really ugly. ENBERG I'll bet Ginny didn't wake up this morning thinking she'd be right in the middle of a beanball war. BLIP Be ready. MIKE Right behind you. ENBERG Mountain into his windup. Look out! AMELIA Ginny called. MIKE Baker. AMELIA Whoo! AMELIA Sorry, I don't have time to eat. MIKE This is for me. AMELIA Oh. MIKE I-I could whip something up for you. AMELIA I can't. I'm slammed today. I've got corporate sponsors coming to see Ginny pitch. Hey, um, just confirming, we can't. MIKE Relax, I'm not gonna say anything. Although I don't know why. We're both single and consenting. Ginny's a big girl. AMELIA She still carries your rookie card and had your poster on her wall. MIKE Really? She had me on her wall? AMELIA I'll see you around. MIKE Yeah, you will. BUCK FRANK Morning, Buck. BUCK Hey, good morning, boss. FRANK I understand you spoke to Oscar. BUCK Yup. FRANK So how you feeling about all this? BUCK I'm good. FRANK You're a guy who lets his actions speak for him, aren't you, Buck? BUCK Yep. PLAYER Whoo! STUBBS Yeah, touch 'em all. TOMMY Damn it! You know what? If you could hit like that in real life, you'd be an all-star. MIKE Baker. Hey. For you, from Drake. PLAYERS BLIP You're also invited to a party in New York for his new album. MIKE He says he'll send a jet. GINNY You guys opened the card? MIKE Yeah. BLIP Of course. TOMMY She'll go out with rappers but not ballplayers. GINNY First of all, I'm not going out with Drake. I don't even know Drake. But I've met you guys, and I don't care if you're rappers or doctors, I'm never gonna go out with you. WOO JIN BLIP Woo-jin. WOO JIN Huh? BLIP You don't speak English. You don't even know what she said. WOO JIN ALL TOMMY Hey, did you hear I might be getting off the DL today? STUBBS Same day we're playing against the guy who put you there. TOMMY You know what that means, right? Me coming off the disabled list? STUBBS One of us has to go back down. TOMMY One of us has to go back down. MIKE We'll nibble outside with Mercer. Nothing but screwgies and rainbows. He'll foul off a couple, and then we'll bust him on the hands with that thing you call a fastball. Got it? GINNY Yeah. MIKE Can we talk about Theo Falcone? MIKE No. GINNY Last time you guys played the Cardinals, he hit Tommy and broke his hand. MIKE So? GINNY So there's a code. MIKE This isn't a game for payback. GINNY I can do this. I want to do this. MIKE A whiffle ball would hurt more than any pitch you throw. GINNY So you're saying this fight needs to be settled between men. MIKE You're exhausting. I'll see you out there. Nap time. GINNY You sleep a lot, old man. MIKE Out of my yard, rookie. BARTENDER From the man in the green shirt. BLIP Is that. GINNY Yeah, the Travelers' catcher, Trevor something. EVELYN Well, why is he sending a drink to Ginny? What's wrong with this? BLIP 'Cause you look happy, content, and satisfied. And he doesn't want to mess with this. BLIP You should invite him over. GINNY You know my code. I don't date. Oh, no, here he comes. EVELYN Yeah, she doesn't date ballplayers. TREVOR Well, she struck me out three times tonight, so, clearly, I'm no ballplayer. GINNY Are you trying to strike out a fourth time? TREVOR It's just a beer, not a date. GINNY Then I'll say thank you. EVELYN Called strike three. TREVOR You're welcome. BLIP Man, y'all are brutal. EVELYN He is fine, though. BUCK Says no pain. AL Velocity's good. Curve has a bite. BUCK Yep. The boss is here today. AL Okay. BUCK And Max. AL How do you know? BUCK Saw her car. AL Ownership's gathering. I could get the ax today. BUCK Look, Al, you're my friend. And I don't steal another man's woman or his job. But there's not a lot of teams that are looking for a 67-year-old coach. And if you're gonna go anyways, I wouldn't mind having my day in the sun. If not for anything, just to tan. AL Buck, I want you to know that if I get canned, nothing would make me happier than you getting the job. But this is my ball club and I'm not ready to give it up. They're gonna have to take it from me. And I don't plan to let them. Look at you, you don't tan anyway. BUCK AL Tommy's ready to come off the DL. OSCAR Yeah, all right. I'm thinking Woo-jin should go down. AL Agree. OSCAR I'll find his translator and let him know. AL Oscar, telling a player he's being sent down is my job. I like to look a man in the eye, good news or bad. OSCAR No, I'll handle this one. You got a lot on your plate today, Al. Speaking of which, we're not gonna have a problem with the Cardinals, are we? Since Falcone threw at Tommy last time? AL Not with Ginny pitching. OSCAR Right. Okay, I'll handle Woo-jin. AL Yeah I'm getting fired today. RHONDA Frank wants to keep 430 open for Al, so I bumped the conference call with the Midwest scouts to tomorrow. OSCAR That's good. RHONDA Oscar, I'm sorry, I know Al got you your start here. OSCAR Ah, find Woo-jin's translator for me. RHONDA Pak is out with the flu, Al didn't want him near the clubhouse. OSCAR Okay, well, get him on the phone. RHONDA Poor Woo-jin. OSCAR Yes, poor Woo-jin, poor Al, poor me, poor everyone. What's that Clooney movie, on the boat, where everything goes wrong? RHONDA Ocean's Eleven? OSCAR No, what? Why would you think that? OSCAR Oh, look who's here. What a surprise. RHONDA You didn't forget to have "the talk" with her, did you? OSCAR Of course not. Hi. Ginny's pitching today. It's Daniella's first time watching her pitch. RHONDA Hello, Daniella. DANIELLA Hey, Rhonda. Where are we sitting? OSCAR The Perfect Storm. LONNIE All I know is it makes me want to go to prison. They're my kind of inmates. CRAWFORD I'm pretty sure they'd put you in a prison with men, Lonnie. LONNIE Al, you watch Orange Is the New Black? AL Nah, I'm more a History Channel guy. Here's my lineup. Look, Craw. protect my hitters today, huh? Falcone, he's crazy, he'd throw at Malala. LONNIE Hey, my guy needs to pitch inside. Cut him some slack. AL Let me know if I wrote too small. CRAWFORD What's that supposed to mean? AL What do you mean "What's that supposed to mean?" CRAWFORD That you wrote it too small, you taking a shot at me about the last time? AL No, I'm asking if I wrote the names too small because I know you don't have your glasses on. Now, I can read 'em to you if you can't see. CRAWFORD You want a problem, Al? Otherwise, forget about it. AL This guy, the last time he worked the plate, the strike zone was the size of a cocktail napkin; before that, it was as wide as my fat ass. CRAWFORD Al, I am warning you. AL Oh, you're warning me? Well, let me get in the sunlight so you can see me to warn me! CRAWFORD I've had it with your fat mouth! You get out of here! You're out! AL Good! That's the last thing I need, is to be out here with you. CRAWFORD Get out! MIKE Skip just got tossed. BLIP Before the national anthem? BUCK What the hell just happened? AL That was my last Major League game and your first. That's what just happened. Go get 'em, guys. CROWD GINNY What? TREVOR I think you did. GINNY I think I did not. TREVOR Once you ordered food, this went from meeting for a drink to now going on a date. GINNY I plan on paying for my own food. TREVOR Okay, 'cause you're a ballplayer and you gotta live by your code, right? GINNY 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. TREVOR Worse? How's that? GINNY Because they're good guys who just want to protect Orphan Annie. And I just want them to see me as a regular ballplayer. TREVOR What if I told you that I was, um. I was quitting the game? GINNY You'd quit the game to date me? TREVOR No, I'm not quitting the game to date you, I'm quitting the game because I can't hit you. I mean, I can't run fast, hit for power, hit for anything, really. But I'm smart. Could've got into Cal Poly on a full academic scholarship. And I'm going. So I don't really want to spend the rest of my life playing in the minors. GINNY You're just trying to get laid. TREVOR No, I'm trying to get into college and get a degree. In business, maybe. GINNY You switch-hit, you have a cannon for an arm. I hear you're great with pitchers. Maybe you just need to work harder. Nut up. TREVOR Nut up? GINNY Maybe. TREVOR I've worked on the other stuff, Ginny. You're born with it or you're not. And you were born with all of it. GINNY So how long? TREVOR I mean, we ain't gonna make the playoffs, so I would say, like, a month. WAITRESS Can I get you guys anything else? TREVOR Just the check, please. WAITRESS Okay. I will just leave this here. Whenever you're ready. GINNY Thank you. WAITRESS You're welcome. GINNY No one can know. You swear? TREVOR Yeah, I swear. GINNY Especially players. TREVOR Okay, I swear. CROWD BUCK Let's go, Gin. ENBERG And Ginny Baker's 2-2 pitch to Ruiz. Swung on and missed. She struck him out. One away. Well, if you're just joining us, fans, before the game, Padres skipper Al Luongo was thrown out during the exchange of lineup cards. AL Lou. LOU Hector put out a nice spread, Al. Get you a meatball sandwich? AL Nah. No, I'm gonna order in. I need a table for two set up right here, and a menu from Albert's. LOU You got it, Al. Thanks, Murph. OSCAR Hey, guys. My oldest daughter, Daniella. Do you mind if she sits with you? The answer should be, "We'd love it," since I gave you the suite today. AMELIA Corporate sponsor. They're interested in Ginny, so she has to play well today. OSCAR Oh, okay. Here, sit right here. You'll get a better view. DANIELLA Was that Elsa? OSCAR No. Shh. Okay, listen, I've gotta do my thing. Just text me if you need anything, okay? EVELYN She's in great hands. Don't worry. Oh, yeah! Nice pitch, Ginny! Sit down, meat, a girl just punched you out! OSCAR It's gonna be fine. OSCAR Can't reach a translator? Well, what if Al or the media wants to talk to Woo-jin? RHONDA Well, he's hitting a buck-80 and can't seem to catch a fly ball, so, actually, no one really wants to talk to Woo-jin, except maybe his mother, and she speaks his language. OSCAR Okay call UCSD, the linguistics department. Find someone, please. RHONDA Have you talked to Daniella yet? OSCAR I will. I will. RHONDA ENBERG Sanders, hitting .285, 14 home runs. He has a chance to make his second All-Star Game. GINNY Get it started, Blip! PLAYERS Whoa. Oh! ENBERG And both benches are barking at each other- that almost hit Sanders. EVELYN What the hell?! That was on purpose! ENBERG Now, remember, Theo Falcone hit Tommy Miller. He broke his finger, remember, back in April. GRANT It's gotta be really killing the skipper, Al Luongo, not being in the dugout for this. AL Well done. But no open champagne in this clubhouse, Lou, unless we're pouring it over heads. Bad luck. LOU Sauvignon coming up! AL Thanks, Murph. ENBERG And the Padres are letting Falcone hear all about it. TOMMY Talk, talk, talk. I guess we're just gonna let him knock us down like milk bottles. GINNY I got this. MIKE Don't even think about it. CROWD GINNY You worried they might throw at me if I try to hit one of them? Worried they might hurt the girl? MIKE No. GINNY You're no different. MIKE Excuse me? GINNY You're trying to protect me. You're no different than those who think I don't belong here. MIKE There's other ways. MAN Come on, Mikey, come on. ENBERG Ball four. That puts runners on first and second for Mike Lawson. CROWD ENBERG High and deep, left field. Lewis to the wall, it's gone! Touch 'em all! Oh my! AMELIA What happened? ELIOT Mike Lawson just homered. AMELIA Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah! Whoo! Good for him. That's nice. ENBERG Home run number 16 for Lawson. MAXINE Well, well, well. AL Ah, so glad you could make it, Maxine. MAXINE I thought you lived on pastrami and pork rinds. AL Well, I wasn't in the mood for healthy. Please sit down. MAXINE You got thrown out before the game? AL Should do it more often. We're up 4-1. MAXINE Uh yeah, sure. ENBERG Baker comes out for the fifth inning, now, with a 4-1 lead, thanks to that Lawson home run. And she'll face the pitcher, Theo Falcone, to lead off the fifth inning. This should be interesting. And she hits Falcone! CRAWFORD That's a warning. That's a warning. That's a warning. ENBERG And home plate umpire Ken Crawford is warning both teams. The next pitcher to throw at someone gets tossed. THEO You're next, girlfriend! GINNY I'm sorry? MIKE Time. CRAWFORD Time out. GINNY You asked for a fastball, I threw a fastball. MIKE The way it works is, you hit their pitcher. GINNY They get to hit me. I know the code. ENBERG And here's a young woman-- a young woman in just her third start. The first woman in Major League Baseball. And if she thought she had a target on her before, wait till her next at bat. ENBERG So we go to the bottom to the fifth inning. Padres leading 4-1. BLIP What are you doing? ELIOT It was an accident. DANIELLA It wasn't an accident. She threw at the guy who threw at Blip and Tommy Miller. If she hit the other pitcher, she's daring him. DARCIE To do what? EVELYN Hit her back. AMELIA Hit her back? OSCAR Hey, how's it going? AMELIA Oscar! She wants to pay Ginny millions of dollars to put her face in her ads, so long as a speeding baseball doesn't break it first. OSCAR Well, I think it's too late for her to change sports. AMELIA I'm stopping this. OSCAR Eliot. ELIOT You're gonna need a bigger press room because Ginny hitting someone is blowing up. OSCAR Yeah, already getting it ready. Listen, this is a little awkward, but I'm beyond desperate. Are you, by chance, Korean? ELIOT Second generation. OSCAR Do you speak Korean? ELIOT A little. OSCAR How much "a little"? ELIOT Hello and good-bye. Hello is anyong-haseyo, and good-bye is anyeong-gaseyo. OSCAR Okay. ELIOT And "eggplant," which is. OSCAR No, I do not need eggplant. Is that it? ELIOT Yeah. OSCAR I'll be back. Okay. ELIOT Anyeong-gaseyo. AL How's the foundation doing? MAXINE Very well, thank you. And thank you for donating so much of your time. AL Well, I lost Anna to breast cancer, so it wasn't a hard thing to get behind. MAXINE Yeah, I know. No, I'm- I'm good. Al, I know why you called me down here, but I can't save your job, I'm sorry. I am very fond of you. You were my hire. But Frank Reid runs this team, even though. AL Even though he's a minority owner, he has been designated by the board to make all the decisions with regards to baseball. And he can do so without your approval or Stan's or Mr. Richardson's. I know, I know. I've been here for 11 years. MAXINE Yeah, and you're doing a good job. It's just not my call. AL This isn't about me. This is about your investment. MAXINE How's that? OSCAR Just the 15 minutes. That's all I need. We'll send a car. We'll make it very, very easy. FRANK Oscar. OSCAR Hold on one second. Sorry, the Korean Consulate. I need an interpreter. FRANK You're aware our manager got thrown out of the game and our pitcher just escalated a beanball war? OSCAR Yes, I am. FRANK Oh, it's a shame it had to end like this for Al. OSCAR Does it, Frank? FRANK I'm not doing this dance again. It's been decided. OSCAR Is that official? FRANK Well, not yet. But it will be when I find Maxine Armstrong. Have you seen her? OSCAR No. Have you tried the Luxury Club? FRANK Ooh. OSCAR Yes. Hi, y- h-hello? Anyeong-gaseyo? AL Baker's been on our roster for three weeks. Now, in those three weeks, the second biggest story, after her playing in a baseball game, is my offending her by sticking my size 13s in my big mouth. Now, you know how it's gonna look if Frank Reid fires me? MAXINE No, but I bet you're gonna tell me. AL It's going to look like the girl had me fired. It's going to look like that to the players. It's going to look like that to the fans, and the talk radio and the Twitter people. They're all going to go crazy talking about how spoiled this girl is. That she came in and ruined everything just because her old fart manager said something stupid, which would be untrue and unfair to Baker because she didn't. She's a good kid. She's contributed to this team and-and I happen to like her, but it doesn't matter because the haters, they're just gonna call her "coach killer," in addition to everything else they call her. MAXINE All right, it would be a distraction, perhaps, for. AL A distraction? This season, forget it, would be over. That's a shame because I still think we got a shot. Now, if you're smart and you are- I mean, your big tech company has made so much money it can afford to buy this team- then you'll let me finish the season and. I'll retire. Then you can replace me if you still want me gone. And I suggest Buck Garland. Smart man. MAXINE Hmm. And you're no dummy yourself, are you, Al? AL I have my moments. I mean, even a hog finds a pile of crap to roll around in once in a while. MAXINE Charming. BUCK Look. I'm going to have Ellis bat for you. GINNY It's the fifth inning, Buck. I have two more innings at least. I feel fine. MIKE Get her out. GINNY Quit treating me like a little girl. This isn't my first beanball game. TOMMY Let her throw another inning. She earned it. BUCK All right. One more inning. This is your first beanball feud, isn't it? GINNY Totally. BUCK ENBERG And it looks like the Cardinals' manager is going to make a double switch here. GRANT Oh, boy. Look who's coming in. The big one. The Mountain. ENBERG This AT&T Call to the Bullpen is for the fireballer Greg Mount to come in for starter Theo Falcone. Greg Mount will face Baker, and then the top of the order, here in the fifth inning. GRANT The big right-hander started as the team's closer, but he lost the job after having problems getting the ball over the plate. ELIOT Mountain leads the league in hit batsmen. ENBERG And the new catcher for the Cardinals, Davis, Mount's favorite batterymate, enters the game. He'll hit in the ninth spot. BLIP You got to get through this. For Drake. MIKE Yeah, who else is he going to scare up for that party? ENBERG The question is whether Buck Garland is going to use a pinch-hitter given what just happened last inning. GRANT Yeah, tough position for a guy managing his first game, Dick. He's got the lefty, Stubbs, on the bench. CROWD TREVOR Wow. Not bad. GINNY Not bad? It's called raking. TREVOR Okay. Let's get this. What are you doing? GINNY Giving you a little tip. TREVOR Okay. GINNY Okay. When you bring the club back, TREVOR Yeah. GINNY turn your hips. TREVOR All right. GINNY Weight on your back foot. TREVOR You know, swinging a golf club is the last thing that I'm thinking about right now, right? Careful, though, someone might be watching us. Hey, relax, relax. No one's watching us, and even if they are, who cares? I'm a private citizen. GINNY Not yet you're not. TREVOR I'm into you, Ginny. GINNY I'm into you, Trevor. TREVOR No, but I want people to know about it. I want you to come to my games and sit in the stands, not your car. GINNY No. TREVOR Look, I want to show you off. I want people, when they look at us, as a couple, to say, "Wow. That guy out-punted his coverage." BOTH BOTH Oh! TREVOR Nothing to see here, folks. We're all good. Just two regular people. Nothing to do with baseball whatsoever. CROWD GINNY ENBERG Oh, my. So, Buck is going to let Ginny Baker face the big right-hander Greg Mount, and you can feel the blood pressure spiking here at Petco. GRANT It's a big enough challenge for the first woman in Major League Baseball to compete against men in the sport, but now things could get really ugly. AMELIA Lawson. Lawson! You can't let her hit. GRANT I bet Ginny didn't wake up this morning thinking she'd be right in the middle of a beanball war. BLIP Be ready. MIKE Right behind you. ENBERG All right. Here we go. Mountain in his windup. Look out! CRAWFORD Ball. ENBERG That one almost took Crawford's head off! CROWD CATCHER Ball. CRAWFORD Ball. GINNY Is he scared of hurting me? CRAWFORD Get back in the box. ENBERG Mount can't find the plate. He's certainly not afraid of Ginny Baker. She's hitting 0 for the summer. GINNY Are you afraid of hurting me? CATCHER Get back in the box. GRANT Got a little chirping going on down there at home plate between Davis and Baker. GINNY You are! TREVOR I said get back in the damn box. TREVOR Hey! How you doing? GINNY What happened? Why'd they pull you out? TREVOR Oh. I got traded. To the Cardinals. Well, Memphis, actually. GINNY Their Triple A team. Wow. That's great. TREVOR Yeah. GINNY What about college? TREVOR Well, it's gonna have to wait, right? I mean, I got an actual shot at the show now. Can you believe it? GINNY Were you really going to quit the game? TREVOR Yes. Of course. I mean, I was surprised when I found out the Cardinals were scouting me, but. GINNY Scouting you? So, if the Cardinals have been scouting you, then you've been thinking about sticking with baseball for a while? TREVOR Uh, well, Ginny. GINNY You lied when you told me you wanted me to come to your last games? TREVOR Ginny, you're in Midland. Okay? No one knows you're here. GINNY What do you ? They know about us. Soon, everyone will. TREVOR Look, if I quit the game and we stay together, people will know I'm an ex-ballplayer, so I thought, hey, what's the big deal if you came to one of my games, right? GINNY TREVOR And, plus, you broke your rule already. What is your problem? Like, you're supposed to be happy for me, right? GINNY You're right. I should be. If we would have just stayed friends, if I wouldn't have broke. I'm an idiot. TREVOR Why are you getting so emotional? Come on. Nut up. GINNY TREVOR Ginny. Come on. Like, I'm so it's a joke. It was your joke. Come on! GINNY They let you play, huh? TREVOR Shut up. ENBERG Here we go, Mark. 3 and 0 to Ginny Baker. Davis gives the sign. Mount into the windup. Way outside! Ball four! GINNY Hey, what's a girl got to do to get beaned, huh? ENBERG And Ginny Baker is walking toward the mound! CRAWFORD 43, take your base! TREVOR The hell are you doing? You started walking, keep walking, all right? GINNY Why you being so emotional, Trevor? Nut up! TREVOR Nut up? GINNY Huh? Nut up! TREVOR Stop it. CRAWFORD Hey, you two, take it up- Hey, you two! ENBERG Oh, my, here we go! Both benches are emptying! BLIP Are you okay? EVELYN Come on, Blip, get in there! MOUNT I wasn't gonna hit her, Mike, I swear. MIKE It's okay, Mountain. MOUNT This is a no-win for me. MIKE It's okay. BUCK Come on, I got you. I got you, all right. Just let it go. Stay here. FERRIS I'm too old for this crap. CRAWFORD Come on down and break your boys up. Get them along the first base line, okay? 43 Padres, 45 Padres, you're out of here! CROWD FRANK Ooh, Max is here. Now we can get down to business. MAXINE Sorry I'm late. FRANK No problem. Al deserved a last supper. MAXINE Gentlemen, could I have the room? MAXINE Come on, Frank. Al has won more games, more division titles, than any manager in franchise history. FRANK Excuse me, Max, but I don't recall you citing a World Series anywhere among Al's greatest hits. MAXINE There's a reason why baseball decisions are left to a league-approved control person. And I, for one, am glad that a man of your principles is at the helm. FRANK You, for one? What, does everybody else hate the way I'm doing my job here? MAXINE No. No, of course not. Everyone is very pleased with your performance here. FRANK Thank you, thank you. MAXINE It's more about how you're doing at AerynTech. I don't have to remind you that AerynTech Corporation spent the $700 million on the Padres and put you in charge of the club. FRANK Then why are you reminding me? MAXINE Because if you were ousted as CEO of AerynTech, unfairly and unjustly made the scapegoat for the company's stagnant earnings of late, then, within a few days, you would also be out as the control person of the Padres. FRANK Is there something that I should know about you and Al? MAXINE Careful, Frank. FRANK Careful? Me, careful? MAXINE Look, I'm not the one who's blaming you for the company's tough year, any more than you're blaming Al for a .500 record. So I applaud your decision to stand behind him, and I think the other owners will do the same. FRANK Maxine, I am never going to go along with this. And if you think I am, you're crazy. MAXINE Damn it, Frank. FRANK And I could make this a very messy divorce. MAXINE Well, we are gonna miss you around here. Well, the fans sure got their money's worth today, don't you think? FRANK Oh, Al. Al, I just wanted to come down and tell you to ignore those rumors flying around that your job might be in jeopardy. It's been settled. AL Thanks. I appreciate that, Frank. Means a lot. OSCAR Um. Al, Al, hey. Look, I, uh I know we're not in a good place. AL You have your job to do, and I have mine. And part of mine is telling Woo-jin he has to go back down. OSCAR Sure. Thing is, we don't have an interpreter. AL Oh? Okay. Yo! Woo-jin! WOO JIN Okay. AL Good kid. OSCAR Yeah. AL People who underestimate me tend to be surprised. Man, I ate too much, Oscar. I got to drop a deuce. BUCK Don't make a big deal out of this. It wasn't exactly a fight between me and Lonnie. It was more like a slow dance. Although he did try to dip me. REPORTERS REPORTER Al, getting tossed before a game. That's a first for you. AL Well, now it's off the bucket list. For your first Major League win. BUCK Yeah. I won't open this up in here. AL Eh, you better not. No, no, no, sit, sit. Today the chair is yours. You earned it. ELIOT Thanks for taking care of us and letting us pillage your dad's suite. DANIELLA Yeah. Any time. OSCAR Hi. Did you guys have fun? DANIELLA Hi. Yeah. OSCAR Yeah? I have a surprise for you. DANIELLA Okay. Oh, my God. OSCAR Hey. I want you to meet someone. GINNY Hi, Daniella. DANIELLA Hello. GINNY Sorry about today. Kind of lost my temper. This role model thing's still new to me. DANIELLA That's okay. I-I've been there. OSCAR GINNY All right then. Can I get a picture with you? DANIELLA Mm-hmm. GINNY Okay. GINNY Cheese. I'll share with your dad. Take care, Daniella. DANIELLA Thanks. OSCAR So cool. Yeah? All right. DANIELLA Yeah. OSCAR Hey, listen, uh, before your mom comes, I want to talk to you about something, okay? Let's-let's go somewhere quiet. DANIELLA No. OSCAR Sweetie, this isn't the place. DANIELLA You're not staying over tonight. OSCAR No. I don't think me sleeping in the guest room one time a week is is such a good idea, you know? It's it's confusing. DANIELLA Because you and Mom are going to make it official. You're getting a divorce. OSCAR Let's go somewhere else and talk, okay? DANIELLA No, okay? Not today. I don't want a good day to end like this. You're right. This isn't the place. OSCAR Yeah. Okay. All right. MIKE I don't care. You can't come down to the field and yell at me. AMELIA When it comes to protecting Ginny, I will yell at the Pope. She needs to make her money now. Who knows how long she's gonna be up here? MIKE I like her chances of sticking around. AMELIA What's wrong? MIKE It's my back. AMELIA Is there anything I can do? GINNY You two have met? MIKE Hey. Uh, yeah. AMELIA You scared the hell out of me. GINNY You? The Mountain throws 98 miles an hour. EVELYN And I'm just saying you could've mixed it up a little, you know? Like, got in there. BLIP Oh, yeah, and got suspended for throwing a punch and fined ten grand? I know that's just a handbag for you, but that's a lot of money to me. MIKE What's he doing here? GINNY Old friend. I got this. TREVOR DC Just give me one night with you. I want to make it to the Show, and one night with you could get me there. It worked for Trevor Davis. PLAYERS GINNY One night with me won't fix that sorry-ass swing of yours, DC. PLAYERS TREVOR Hey. I just wanted to, uh, say sorry. GINNY Forget about it. I lost my cool. TREVOR No, no. I meant how it ended in Texas. I didn't fully appreciate what you had to go through. Still go through. GINNY I'm glad you made it up here, Trevor. You worked hard. TREVOR GINNY I got to go. TREVOR Uh, Ginny, um the reason why I wanted to actually speak to you is that, uh I got notifications that my passwords were changed. GINNY So? TREVOR SobI got hacked. Yeah. They gained access to, like, my banking information, credit card info, and pictures. Selfies that we took from the road. GINNY You told me you deleted those. TREVOR Yeah, I did. But they were backed up. GINNY Why didn't you tell me this a year ago? TREVOR Well, because I didn't know you'd be the most famous woman on the planet. And if you'd picked up my calls or answered a text message, I would have told you. GINNY Trevor, if you shared those pictures with anyone. TREVOR Never. What kind of guy do you think I am? Hey. A little advice from a former friend, all right? You can take it or leave it. But all this attention and celebrity, it's only gonna get worse. The world has fallen for you. And take it from a guy that knows, that doesn't just disappear. So you better find a friend and let 'em in, all right? 'Cause all of this is way too much for one person. Even the most famous woman on the planet needs a golf partner. GINNY I got to go. MIKE Everything all right? GINNY Yeah. Yes. MIKE Okay. GINNY Sorry I went rogue today. MIKE No, you're not. GINNY You're right. I'm not. MIKE Why were you talking to a guy we just got in a brawl with? GINNY Like I said, old friends. We used to play against each other in Texas. MIKE Huh. Must be some bad blood. GINNY Just a healthy rivalry. MIKE You're choosing your words carefully. GINNY I am choosing my words carefully. Every choice I make, I have to think about. Any other damn pitcher on this team, you would have told them to knock Falcone on his ass. MIKE Fair enough. GINNY And don't tell me you wouldn't have. MIKE Hey, I just said you were right, Baker. Geez. 16 years I've been playing in this town. I've seen a lot of rookies come and go. Never met one like you. GINNY Yeah, well. MIKE And not because you're a girl. It's what you're doing, it's what you're having to take on. You kind of blow me away. GINNY Hey, you play golf? MIKE Do I look like I play golf? GINNY You look like a cousin from Duck Dynasty. MIKE You love the beard. GINNY I do not. That's because you have a different image of me, probably from all those posters you had hanging up on your bedroom wall. GINNY Oh, I did not have posters of you hanging on my bedroom wall. MIKE Okay. BOTH TOMMY Lawson, let's go. I'm buying. MIKE I'm gonna call it early tonight, boys. TOMMY Damn. Old Man Lawson. MIKE I know, right? TOMMY But I guess you could come. MIKE GINNY Well, since you're begging me, Tommy. MIKE MIKE Pick it up later? GINNY Nothing to pick up.
