Electronic strike zone
How many episodes do we need??
What good is it for the game, any game, to eject the pitching coach?
Not a factor if there’s an electronic strike zone.

It always amuses me that they use the same scripts with Geren as with Howe and Macha
And each one of them is terrible in a different endearing way. Geren’s expression is much better than Macha’s (which would be true of pretty much anyone) but he pauses in strange places.
