Previously on Pitch...
MATT VASGERSIAN: The San Diego Padres
have called up Ginny Baker to start today.
- Ginny, hi. - Hi.
Oscar Arguella, Padres' GM.
Your teammates are excited to meet you.
GINNY: 75% think I'm the next San Diego Chicken.
The other 25 just want to see me shower.
BLIP: Ginny Baker.
Get your big ol' bubble butt over here
and give me a hug.
I didn't see Mike Lawson back in there.
He likes to make a grand entrance.
Total diva.
Hey. Find another scene partner.
I'm here to pitch.
JOE BUCK: This is one of those
moments where you'll remember
where you were when you saw it.
I don't know what's happening. I just...
- I just... - Okay, okay.
Get me out of the game.
She needs your help.
She quit.
You got a lot of people telling you
who you're doing this for,
and I wonder if it's not about time you start
doing this for yourself.
You do this for you.
(cheers and applause)
JOE BUCK: Welcome to the big leagues, Ginny.
We've been waiting for you.
Of course the big story today,
the only story, really.
Yeah, it's Gin-sanity in San Diego.
Ginny Baker becoming the first woman in history
to win a major league baseball game.
I'm not saying a word.
Uh, listen, my grandmother throws harder than that.
That's not sexist, it's factual,
and Gram Gram threw heat.
And Gram Gram has a shot at the majors...
... Leave it to the men to try and rain on our lady parade.
There are already reports of dissention
in the Padres locker room after Baker's first win.
Guess some of those big, strong men don't like
the pretty, little girl getting more attention, huh?
Come on, boys, haven't you seen the movie?
There's no crying in baseball.
This L.A. road trip could not be coming at a better time.
Kimmel wants to book you: lead guest, two segments.
Jimmy Kimmel?
They've got this idea for a comedy bit,
"Ginny Baker's clubhouse decorating tips."
I got to give decorating tips?
It could be funny.
You just have to tell a few jokes.
We'll talk about it on the ride up.
GINNY: I really ought to take the players' bus.
I got to be one of the guys right now, Amelia.
Ginny, look in the mirror.
You are never gonna be one of the guys.
Great movie.
Just One of the Guys.

Okay, guys, one at a time.
Game ended two hours ago.
- They're still here. - Yeah.
She's come a long way from San Antonio.
ANNOUNCER: Hey, fans.
Welcome to Wolff Stadium.
San Antonio Missions are warming up for today's game
against the Midland RockHounds.
Take your seats.
We'll be starting in just a minute.
ANNOUNCER: And that's strikeout number nine for Ginny Baker.
Good win.
I keep hanging sliders.
- You see the one I hung to Archer? - Oh, yeah.
This new catcher's game-calling sucks.
So, wave him off. You throw what you want to throw.
He's the catcher.
And you're the boss.
Oh, whoa.
Do you think for a second you got on that mound
by following anyone else's calls?
You're just saying that 'cause you're a good brother.
I'm just saying that 'cause you're a good pitcher.
You're a cheeseball.

- Slider-hanger. - AMELIA: Ginny?
Hey, I'm sorry, but she only does autographs for kids.

You know your knees aren't getting any younger, Mike.
When are you gonna bite the bullet and move to first?
After I get to first with your mom.
- That's very mature. - So is your mom.
Guy's strike zone was inconsistent for her
- for the whole damn game. - Yep.
Their guy's nibbling, getting calls on both sides
- of the plate. Us, nothing. - Yep.
Another good talk, Buck.
Lawson.
- Yeah, Skip. - My team's broke.
Look, I got pitchers taking swings at center fielders,
I got a girl getting dressed in a closet,
I got a pissy owner, and, on top of that,
now I have psoriasis on my elbows.
So I'm gonna fix my psoriasis, you fix the other stuff.
I'll talk to the guys tonight. We'll all go out and celebrate
- her first win. - How's the knees?
Good, good. Yeah.
Never been better.
- Good. That's good, kid. - Yeah.
(laughter)
Ginny, when I got
my first win, you know what I did to celebrate?
You went out drinking with Babe Ruth.

No, not a nun.

I'm over this, boys. I'll see you at the yard tomorrow.
Guys, the facts are clear.
Two starts and one...
Anyone want another beer?
- I'll get it. - I got it.
...Ginny Baker wears the pants on the San Diego Padres,
and her whiny, whimpering teammates...
- Hey, you mind changing the channel? - Sure thing.
...Ginny Baker isn't going anywhere.
I mean, two starts in,
and this kid has a 12 ERA.
One more time?
Let's just settle down. I'm thrilled she...
There's nothing fuzzy about the facts in the Florida case.
The track star's own locker room
was under renovation, so she used one
of the men's empty ones, where she's assaulted
by a member of the men's track and field team,
who now has the nerve to call it... wait for it...
"a misunderstanding between friends."
Hey, I wonder what Ginny Baker would have to say about this.
She's in a locker room with men...
That should do it for tonight, huh?
- Shots, anybody? - (laughs)

as the Padres head up to Los Angeles
for a three-game road trip

- You were dealing! - Yeah, the guys love
that the slowest fastball in the league gets the most media attention.
Well, Blip said you won over some of 'em last night.
I lost some of 'em, too.
Well, I'm driving up later. I'll see you then.

That's my slump-buster. You know it can't be washed.
Honey, calm down. You're hitless in two games.
I will find that awful,

- No, but if it's been washed... - What,
your Grandmaster Flash T-shirt will lose its magic powers
and you won't make the All-Star team?
Say it out loud. Go on.
Hey. Hey!
Look at me, Sanders.
The only all-star team that matters is mine,
and you're already the leading vote-getter there.

What she really wants to do is get back together with me.
Why did God make me so damn appealing to women?
I mean, it's a... it's a curse, Baker. Really is.
Why'd you call me off?
My fastball tops out at 87. I don't always trust it.
All right. Well, you may not trust your fastball.
You need to trust me.
All right, see,

At the end of the day, Davey McGee.
He's the best guy available if you want a manager tomorrow.
Davey McGee. We already have a caveman for a manager, Oscar.
I want somebody fresh, somebody inspiring.
Somebody who doesn't drive to work using their feet

- then only a Double-A minor leaguer. - Oh, crap. Blip.
AL: Yeah, well, I hope she makes it to the show one day.
I mean, have you seen her?
Easy on the eyes.
I'm sure a lot of the guys
would love to have her in the locker room.
VASGERSIAN: Well, the comments are obviously troubling,
especially in light of the ongoing track and field incident
- in Florida... - What?
_
Ginny, we got a little P.R. problem on our hands.
Have you seen Al's comment?
You want me to issue a statement supporting him?
We don't require it. It's up to you.
But if you'd like to...
Ginny, can I...
speak to you for a minute?
- Yeah. - Sorry.
You want to come out in support of a misogynist

I told you I want to be one of the guys.
How many of the guys are being asked to make statements?

You're the boss, don't you ever forget that.
You're just saying that 'cause you're a good brother.
I'm saying it 'cause it's true.
And Dad would have been so proud of you.
Of course, he wouldn't have said it.
(chuckles)
But he would have been so very proud of you.
Cheeseball.
Don't make that face. Come here.
Come here.
(applause and cheering, upbeat music plays)
Hello, welcome back.
We good?
KIMMEL: It's not every year that a woman gets to be
starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres,
but this is not every year.
Please welcome athlete, icon, trailblazer,
and overnight sensation, Ginny Baker.
(applause and cheering, music playing)
(whistling, applause and cheering)
Well, you look fantastic.
You look much better than you do, even in a Padres uniform,
- Thank you very much. - As beautiful as those are.
- I appreciate it. - Thank you for being here.
Wow. This has been a crazy time for you, I would imagine.
Yeah, kind of crazy.
How are you feeling?
- I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. - You are?
I mean, two weeks ago, I was in the minors,
and now, I'm on Jimmy Kimmel, and I can see myself.
(laughter)
Yeah, I know. I mean, I'm on the show, too, and, uh,
so I can really... I have equal amounts of excitement. Yeah.
I'm sure.
You are probably the biggest star
in the whole world right now.
- I mean, yeah. - (applause and cheering)
- TOMMY: This ain't a team. - You got a problem?
Let's take it outside.
(overlapping shouting)
(shouting): Enough! Enough!
(others quiet)
(sighs)
I'm so tired of this crap.
(sighs)
I'm gonna be a 30-something retiree soon.
Hell of a lot sooner than I'd like.
Love of my life is getting remarried, too.
So, so much for a family.
(sighs)
And you bickering idiots is all I have to show for it!
(sighs)
KIMMEL: You're making some big changes in the Padres clubhouse.
Some decorating changes in the Padres clubhouse.
And now it's time for "Ginny Baker Redecoraker."
(applause and cheering)
Um...
The teleprompter's right there.
Um, I'm...
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
I can't talk about decorating tips tonight.
I mean, the jokes are really funny,
- but I just... I... - Well, now I know
you're making excuses, because the jokes are not funny
- tonight at all, but... it's... - (laughter)
You know, it's exciting.
- I mean, it's exciting for the audience to have you here. - Thanks.
In person to see you like this, right? Oh.
- (applause and cheering) - Thanks. Um, yeah. I'm sorry.
I didn't want to make it weird about the decorating tips.
- It's fine. It's okay. It's no-no problem at all. - Yeah.
- Um, it's just, I'm a ballplayer... is the thing. - Mm-hmm.
And I'm just working really hard right now to be one of the guys.
- Yeah. Well, sure. - Yeah. Yeah.
Our manager's in trouble, guys. Hmm?
He could get canned any day.
This is the same guy who takes the blame when we lose,
when it's us who plays Hacky Sack with the baseball.
Yeah, same guy who didn't just convince Stubbs' ex
not to sell their honeymoon pictures to a tabloid.
He bought 'em, all to protect his own player.
Is Ginny getting us more attention? Huh?
(laughing): Yeah. Yeah, she is, man.
Which sucks, 'cause we're losing
in front of sold-out crowds.
I gave my life to this game!
Ugh. So I got a radical idea, mooks.
Hear me out here.
How about we start winning in front of sold-out crowds?
How about
we start winning for Al and his job?
How about you start winning for your captain, too?
It's a weird line to draw, I guess.
- Not everyone loves interior design, I guess, you know? - Yeah.
I mean, I'm a 23-year-old girl with a high school education.
How did I end up with a bunch of microphones in my face,
and everyone wanting my opinion?
It seems like I'm sort of making a statement
just by existing lately, so, right.
I mean, what the hell. Why not make a few more?
My manager says a lot of stupid things,
and some of them are about me, but he's a great manager,
and he's a really good man.
And he knows that he messed up, you know.
We're gonna shock the world.
And yeah, we're gonna do it
with a pretty girl in the dugout.
Yeah, pretty girl, who, by the way,
works a hell of a lot harder than you lazy losers.
So everyone can worry about some idiot comment
that he made, what, two years ago, 'cause I won't be.
I mean, there's bigger things to worry about.
I mean, a... a woman...
You need a minute? You okay?
- Yeah. - Yup.
A woman's not responsible for her own sexual assault
because she went in the wrong locker room.
That's not only wrong. It's dangerous.
We don't need to make sure
that every girl goes in the right room.
We need to make sure every boy knows it's wrong to rape.
(applause and cheering)
So 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.
Lucky to be a Padre.

For every last flickering minute of my damn career.
Well, thank you for being here.
You're an inspiration to so many people,
and it's really a pleasure for me to have you here.
Ginny Baker, everybody.
(applause and cheering)
(cheering)
(indistinct shouting)
MAN: Yo!
(indistinct chatter)
They're gonna fire you.
From now on, I talk where I want to talk,
I say what I want to say.
I call you off, Amelia, not the other way around.
I'm the boss.
Why does a high-powered movie agent come to South Texas
in high heels to sign a minor league baseball player?
We'll try again.
We've only done two rounds.
I think I'm done, Amelia.
We can afford another round of IVF, Eric.
No, I mean, I'm done.
Having a baby is not gonna fix us.
I don't want this life anymore.
I don't want a life with you anymore.
Aren't you gonna say anything?
You just obliterated my life in two sentences, Eric.
Forgive me if I don't give you the satisfaction
of seeing me cry.
We need to talk about this X-Men thing.
They want to do a prequel to the prequel,
so I guess with, like, what, four-year-olds?
I actually think that's kind of genius.
MAN: We need a kid's director, but we need somebody with an edge.
WOMAN: Robert Rodriguez. He's edgy.
MAN: Who's the guy that did The Rugrats Movie?
Maybe we could get him in here.
I quit.
I will go with you!
I came to South Texas, Ginny...
because I knew you needed me.
(loud, overlapping chatter)
(laughter and chatter)
(upbeat dance song begins)
Oh, I love this song! Who's gonna dance with me?
Lawson.
Whatever.
All right, bud, I'm out of here.
- Later. - Bye.
