trademarcdesigns First of all, this is not a show about baseball any more than Bull Durham or The Bad News Bears. Baseball is merely the backdrop for a show about a middle aged man's self-destructive spiral into the abyss. And what a ride it is. The show is driven by the scathingly funny monologues, and Hank Azaria's brilliant deadpan delivery in full-on sports announcer persona. One of my favorites is about straight white men having reoriented our national sexual interest toward women's breasts, and how black and gay men are now bringing it back to women's butts... where it belongs.The show may be all about Azaria, but some of the supporting players are outstanding. Joe Buck does a sensational job of playing Joe Buck, and there a loads of cameos by other sports personalities, most of whom are better comic actors than you'd expect.Yes, the show is raunchy. Yes, the show glamorizes drug and alcohol abuse. Yes, the near-constant sex does smack a bit of the objectification of women. But this is a comedy and not a public service announcement. I urge you to give it a chance.

andrewgraemek As a massive fan of Hank Azaria I was always going to be slightly bias towards this show but it's creativity, uniqueness and level of dialogue was second to none. Perfect binge watching I saw right through in one day. Azaria hold the cast together and with supporting roles from Peet and Jackson Williams that fit perfectly with the level of comedy. Character creating is essential and Azaria seems to have perfected this for USA in the way Steve Coogan did for the UK with Alan Partridge. Not for young kids.....this is one for adults to enjoy.

rasecs Baseball fan or not, this show is great. Hank captures his character perfectly with a wink and a nod to the old timers. From the conversational style of calling a game to digs at the combustible nature of a fracking town I laugh out loud, no studio sign needed. A little too raunchy for family fare but great fun for adults.

AdamVernier So nice to see Hank Azaria's talents being showcased in the perfect setting! Amanda Peet does a fantastic job as well! In fact, you can really see great talent in the entire cast and even day players! The writing will have you rewinding again and again because you missed a great one-liner and;or want to hear it again! You don't have to be a fan of baseball or The Simpson's or even Azaria or Peet, simply being a fan of FUNNY will make you love this show!!
