You can't foul out in baseball, but this movie shows that you can foul out on the screen.
I haven't seen the first movie in this franchise since it first came out over 30 years ago, so I can't compare this to that. But this is pretty lame. The characters are mostly caricatures, or disagreeable or both, leaving you with no one to care about or get involved with. The story is hard to swallow: how could an inexperienced manager turn a disaster of a minor league team into one that can beat even a weak major league team? Cantrell's decision at the end of the movie is not prepared, and coming out of left field as it does, hard to accept.
I stuck with this turkey until the end, but I don't see why anyone else would.
