• Blip Sanders : With your backup catcher down, you know what this means, right?

  Mike Lawson : They're gonna bring up Livan.

  Blip Sanders : They're gonna bring up Livan to back you up.

  Ginny Baker : Hey, Mike...

  Blip Sanders : They're gonna bring up Livan and the minute you take a day off or you pull a hammy and he gets the start...

  Mike Lawson : If you say Wally Pipp...

  Blip Sanders : He's gonna Wally Pipp your ass.

  Ginny Baker : Who's Wally Pipp?

  Mike Lawson : He's not Wally Pipping my ass.

  Blip Sanders : [behind them, Ginny pulls out her phone]  Yeah, well, tell that to the media and the fans when they start screaming for Livan to start the first time you go 0 for 4.

  Ginny Baker : Hey, Mike. Um, if you have a sec later, can I show you how my cutter's coming along? I think I got something here.

  Mike Lawson : [sarcastic]  i just caught eight innings on my day off. Love to.

  Ginny Baker : [still looking at her phone]  "Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig replaced starter Wally Pipp, and played in 2,130 consecutive games." Hmm. That's Wally Pipp.

  Blip Sanders : How could you be a ballplayer and not know who Wally Pipp is?

  Ginny Baker : I was born in 1992?

  Mike Lawson : Try watching some Ken Burns.

• Al Luongo : You know what this means, right?

  Mike Lawson : You're calling up Livan.

  Al Luongo : He's on a flight already.

  Mike Lawson : Don't waste any time, do you?

  Al Luongo : Well, El Paso had a game in Vegas. Look, Mike, I want you to play some first base.

  Mike Lawson : Sorry?

  Al Luongo : Charlie and Oscar want to see what Livan can do behind the dish, and I want both your bats in the lineup.

  Mike Lawson : First base?

  Al Luongo : Not every day.

  Mike Lawson : Remember spring training, Tuscon? Two errors in one game?

  Buck Garland : Two errors in one play.

  Mike Lawson : [sarcastic]  Oh, thanks, Buck. Always good to have you doing color commentary.

• Reporter #2 : Mike, what do you think about a rookie flipping his bat in a 9-3 loss?

  Mike Lawson : Well, in his defense, we were only down 6-1 when he hit it.

• Mike Lawson : Listen, I just want to make sure that you and I... are okay.

  Amelia Slater : Of course.

  Mike Lawson : If for no other reason, for Ginny.

  Amelia Slater : So let's get along for the sake of the kid?

  Mike Lawson : She's important to you. She's important to me. Amelia, for the team.

  [seeing a thought strike her] 

  Mike Lawson : Stop with the face.

  Amelia Slater : This is my thinking face.

  Mike Lawson : Yeah, well, your thinking face looks eerily similar to your judgey face.

• Al Luongo : I'm gonna bring the infield in. I need you to get the next guy to hit a grounder to any infielder not named Mike Lawson. You ever relieve before?

  Ginny Baker : Not even in Little League.

  Mike Lawson : Seriously?

  Ginny Baker : Seriously. But there's first time for everything, right?

  Al Luongo : Make me look smart, Baker.
