this show is way too good to not have it's own thread.

disgraced former baseball announcer goes to small town USA to call games for a god awful minor league team.

the description is meaningless and can't possibly do justice to how incredible the show is.

hank azaria has long been a favorite of mine and it's nice to see him finally get a leading role.

he does not disappoint he's ****ing incredible and amanda peet has become quite the comedic actress herself (I always loved her in the whole 9 yards).

the show is brilliantly written, and everyone from the main characters to the small supporting roles turn in outstanding performances.

it's on IFC do yourself a favor and check it out.

Watched the pilot today and really enjoyed it. The way he describes things is awesome. Looking forward to watching episode 2.

First two episodes are fantastic

I like the young black kid who was covered in blood bank blood and just about catatonic lol

I saw the pilot and liked it a lot. But I wasn't as crazy about it as everyone else. I get a little bit of a sense of the writers showing off. Maybe that's really stupid of me.

Hank azaria is fricking awesome though

just finished episode 2. that **** was funny!

"never trust a guy who sucks satan's dick for a living"

that's one i want to steal. i deal with a lot of satan's dick suckers

I will admit I was slightly disappointed that they had him renounce his degeneration so quickly and profess his love for her but I'm confident the show won't turn sappy.

but def think it would have played better without him having that change of heart.

Saw ep 1 last night. Easily the funniest pilot I've seen in several years.

A+ will watch moar.

Ep 3 the weakest one so far. Still had some funny moments but not as many.

I discovered recently the Brockmire character has been around for 6 years or so. (The ep 3 below is not the ep 3 I was referencing above).

Fantastic show so far. Watch it.

Episode 3 was good, not great...but every show has two or three epic lines that make me burst out laughing

"Julia James with a surprise finger in the keester... and Brockmire is INTO IT. Whoa, a fastball sign makes for a surprisingly tight buttplug."

All 3 episodes have been great so far but def agree episode 3 was the weakest.

4th one was pretty good...

Eh, I guess I'll be the dissenting opinion. There are good bits here, but they're telegraphed from a mile off. Anytime he steps into the announcer's box you know what's coming. It's like instead of your buddy just telling a joke, he says "Ok, I'm about to tell you a joke about this cashier" (or whatever). It takes a lot of the surprise away. And what is comedy anyway, other than surprise or truth.

thought him fighting the inflatable thing was hilarious

Ha ya that was good. I think eps 1&2 were better than 3&4 but it still delivers.

essentially a more sappy TV version of Major League

ep.5 was amazing.

when his lip quivered in the interview i lost my ****.

As a bit of a self-confessed podcast addict, I'd listen the hell out of a Brockmire podcast.

show keeps getting better and better, ep.7 was the best yet

great last two episodes....amazed they got Joe Buck and others to do that!

also thought episode 7 was great

i would as well, and i'd also listen to the charles podcast they reference in the show.
