Quotes 

• 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 : We're skipping your next start.

  Ginny Baker : What?

  Buck Garland : Two days off in ten days.

  Al Luongo : What he means is we have two days off in the next ten days. You're our fifth starter. That allows us to start our number one pitcher against the Giants.

  Ginny Baker : I need to pitch. I've been working on this cutter, it's ready. If this is about what happened in L.A...

  Al Luongo : It's not.

  Ginny Baker : I want to pitch.

  Al Luongo : And I want abs like Bradley Cooper, but it's not happening.

  Buck Garland : [Ginny leaves]  Who's Bradley Cooper?

• Amelia Slater : When I decided to take you on, I didn't do it because I thought it was easy. We're breaking a barrier here. Even if some small-minded bloggers in their tighty-whities insist on leering and jeering along the way.

  Ginny Baker : You know, when Jackie Robinson made it to the majors, some of his teammates started a petition to keep him off the team. One day before a game, a player threw a black cat onto the field, said it was his cousin. That day, Jackie doubled and scored, and told the guy "I guess my cousin's pretty happy now." I'm not comparing myself to Jackie Robinson, because that would be ridiculous. The leering and jeering? I can take the leering and jeering as long as I get to play. But I'm not even in the damn game right now. I need to get back on the hill.

• Al Luongo : Remember I told you to come to San Francisco and not think about baseball?

  Ginny Baker : Yeah.

  Al Luongo : Well, start thinking about baseball. Warm up.

• 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.

• Livan Duarte : Heard you have a cutter.

  Ginny Baker : Yeah, I don't know if I can throw it for a strike yet.

  Livan Duarte : Good. Don't. He'll swing if it's close. This guy... played with him in the WBC. Likes to be a hero. Just don't throw it on the backstop.
