I did not sign up for this!
Theres no crying in baseball!
Guy is terrified about heading off to war and can barely pick himself up off the floor at times.
The first thing he says is losing his glasses.
If that doesnt just smash your heart into 1,000 pieces, I dont know what will.
He has trouble getting out the words to say hes scared of dying.
What can she say that will offer any comfort?
She holds him and does what she does best: She invents a comic-book character for him.
Anyone else crying just thinking about it?
Cool, me neither.
There is additional heartbreak out there in Rockford, Illinois, too.
Just get this girl on the field and let her show everyone what she can do, you know?
Oh, buddy Max and Gary have itout.
He is not the only one.
Part of that is obviously because Max ditched her job at the salon to work at the factory.
But mixed into those feelings of betrayal is something a little more complicated.
We get a quick shot of Toni arguing with someone who then rides off on their motorcycle.
Surely well get more details on that situation later.
For now, even though Edgar stands up for his daughter, Tonis words sting.
Gary pleads with her to stop, but she refuses to be deterred.
She bets two weeks of her pay that she can outpitch any man on the field.
And then she chokes.
It is hard to watch, honestly.
Her one shot to finally be taken seriously blows up in her face.
Meanwhile, the Peaches are off on their own emotional roller coaster.
That tension is simmering, babes keep your eyes on it.
Finally not in last place, the team heads off to Kenosha for a few away games.
Carson uses the bus ride to orchestrate a situation in which she gets to room with Greta.
Dove uses the bus ride to grab all of Carsons extensive game note cards right out of her hand.
Other Peaches use the time for group sing-alongs, as I imagine all professional baseball players do.
One of those rules includes being seen on a mans arm.
Were the other women also married?
Greta thinks it actually helped those women in their marriages, but Carson doesnt buy it.
The first Kenosha game seems to be going well the Peaches are dominating but then something strange happens.
No one is into it.
Beverly decides Carson and Lupe will coachtogether.
Remember: simmering tension.
Things are great at first.
Their first outing as co-coaches goes swimmingly.
The team heads back to Rockford on a high.
At their next game, Lupe wants back in.
Shes rested enough; shes ready.
Well, Lupes pissed especially when Greta once again comes to Carsons defense.
The team will be siding with Carson; its all very clear.
And so all of that co-coaches-on-the-same-page attitude is completely out the window.
Theres a bench-clearing fight.
Beverly declares that the Peaches are forfeiting.
Its a real low for everyone but especially Carson.
Carson doesnt have too much time to spiral about it because waiting for her outside is Max Chapman.
And shes here to blackmail Carson into doing her a favor.
And she says it with a smile.
Take that, Deb!!
This episode really reveals just how sheltered Shirley is.
Even the guy who runs the scoreboard could work for Shirley.
Carsons eye-rolling reaction to that idea speaks for us all.
Here for the physical comedy on the sidelines, in particular Abbi Jacobson spitting out that dip immediately.
More of these types of shenanigans, kindly.
