The second episode of the season was the most surreal stuff that's ever been on the show. I wonder if Will Ferrell's presence steers those guys in that direction? The eps that he's in tend to be the ones where everything gets slightly more cartoonish.

kinda think I'm not missing much cuz you guys hardly mention baseball itt
JJ Cale, Lee Hazlewood, The Strangeloves, ESG - all in one episode!!!!
so, stuff baseball players never listen to?

I thought the second episode got demonstrably less funny every time Will Ferrell came on-screen. I like him, typically, but I thought he sucked the fun out of that episode, until the final scene anyway.

I just finally watched the second season, and really enjoyed the Don Johnson episodes. Watching them bullshit each other was a prize.

Huh? (1) If you think this show is about baseball, you're not really getting it. (2) See, there's this notion of diegetic vs. non-diegetic sound in film...
― Walter Galt, Friday, 2 March 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
(1) I've only heard and read about the thing, that's why I'm not getting it. On purpose.
(2) Yeah, thx a bunch.

i believe his point was "I don't like anything about the idea of this so I am going to find absurd reasons to knock it down to all the fans."

it would be such an honest depiction of the baseball world were it not for the musical choices

He wants it to only have music baseball players actually listen to, ie late-period Metallica and Daddy Yankee

"Lunatic Fringe" in the last one was nice - but I guess baseball players wouldn't listen to that?
― boxall, Saturday, 3 March 2012 04:24 (twelve years ago) link
Baseball players wouldn't allow a camera crew to stand in the middle of the field, between the mound and home plate, when they are trying to play a game. Show is bullshit imo.

first ep was great, second not so good, not seen third yet. i find the small moments in it more funny than a lot of the big setpieces, eg when he was leaving april the message and said "it is i, kenny powers". the will ferrell character really isn't funny to me though, i like ferrell generally but i just don't find that character well fleshed out by any means. it's very vague, even his clothes etc just confuse it more.
