The time has come for one and all … to playwell, you get it.
He wants great ballplayers but also demands theyre ladylike and feminine because misogyny, baby.
Its a dream come to life.
And this montage of tryouts is especially empowering because these women are insanely good at what they do.
Sure, some of them might be complete messes in their personal lives, but they can play baseball.
Yes, obviously Im talking about one Mrs. Carson Shaw.
Shes kind of a disaster, but shes also a great baseball player.
Honestly, even that is hard for her to own up to.
Carson is a ball of insecurities, which is probably why Greta can so easily get under her skin.
Shes arrived with her childhood best friend Jo but instantly takes a liking to Carson.
She immediately pushes Carson out of her comfort zone in increasingly consequential ways.
First, a much-needed haircut.
Most of Carson and Gretas interactions thus far have been friendly with a strong hint of sexual tension.
Here at the bar, Greta lays the flirting on much thicker.
And although nervous, Carson reciprocates.
Greta takes her to a supply closet and kisses her.
Carson kisses her back.
But just as Carson seems really into it, Greta pulls away.
I thought so, she says before she walks out.
The whole thing is bafflingly manipulative, and Carson is left standing there confused and hurt.
Shes likegoodgood at baseball.
After the tryout debacle, Max, who has only ever dreamed of playing baseball, is defeated.
Shes tired of putting stock in a dream that seems impossible.
But it seems like those feelings of defeat will pass.
You cant keep a dreamer down for too long!
Its infuriating to watch as shes turned away from every opportunity to play.
Clearly theyve been friends their entire lives and would do anything for each other.
It seems like a dynamic theyve become used to.
They both know that Max isnt fine, but Clance knows not to push it right then.
We love a girl trying to fight sexism in comics.
I mean, the packing of a humidifier alone!
We also learn that Jos own grandmother kicked her out of the house because she wasnt a real girl.
