* This post contains spoilers. The biggest question lingering from the first episode of Pitch, was how sustainable is a television show like this? In fairness, thats a question most television shows face. I doubt people would have bet that Greys Anatomy would get to a 13th season, and by the way, the scripted program is still finding new material for the team at?Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.Pitch invests in its characters backstories and relationships as a means of augmenting the center story of its lead character, Ginny Baker, who is trying to make it in the big leagues. The result is a rich, full series that provides additional options for character development.In other words, Pitch is deep, yall.Plenty happened in the latest episode, which is aptly titled The Interim, but what really takes center stage is Baker struggling with the added media attention from Ginsanity -- the corny cousin of Linsanity from 2012 -- and how to use (or not to use) her elevated platform. No one can stop talking about her. The media wants her to comment on a sexual assault case in Florida; and a video of the Padres manager, Al, making sexist comments about her surfaces.Through it all, she insists that shes one of the guys and tells her agent, Im a ballplayer, like shes Monica from Love & Basketball yelling at Quincy.Ginny Baker, however, is not just one of the guys, no matter how much she wants to be, and thats not really what this is about anyway. Nestled within the conversations between Baker and her agent, teammate Mike Lawsons rousing pregame speech, and the probable firing of Al (Dan Lauria) is some exploration of identity politics.The Interim quietly asks, what does it really mean to be going through this experience as a woman, like Ginny Baker? What are her responsibilities? What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a captain? Are you still a good man if youre politically incorrect? And what matters more ... intent or impact?The answers to those questions are the beating heart of the show Pitch strives to be. During a set visit in August, executive producer and showrunner Kevin Falls said Pitch was about the human condition. Identity politics are absolutely part of what make up the human experience, and the series certainly does not shy away from that.While sitting across from real-life late show host Jimmy Kimmel, fictional character Ginny Baker says, It seems like Im making a statement just by existing lately.Thats a loaded statement, and something that is surely relatable to many people watching the show. Baker is caught between a rock and a hard place. She desperately wants to fit in with her teammates and play baseball, but she also is having to navigate a previously unwalked path, all the while attempting to hold on to her precarious situation as a recently called-up pitcher who could be sent down from the majors at any moment.The struggle around identity, however, is not just limited to Baker. Her story is just the most prominent.In an interesting scene, Padres owner Frank Reid (Bob Balaban) discusses manager Als fate with Oscar Arguella (Mark Consuelos), the GM. Reid comments to Arguella that in addition to his getting hired because hes good at his job, he also looks like Spanish Superman.Im Mexican, Arguella responds.A few moments later when Reid tells Arguella he doesnt have him over for dinner because he doesnt get close to his employees, Arguella says, I thought it was because Im Mexican.This is interesting, not only because Reid admits to not being color-blind and implies that he values a perspective of someone who is not a mirror reflection of himself, but also because Arguella has clearly questioned why he hasnt been invited to his boss place for dinner. His own ethnicity is clearly salient to him, and his admission leaves viewers wondering what happened in his life to make him take pause at Reids distance.This is an important and palpable moment at a time when American society struggles with wanting to be color-blind and how to deal with racial and ethnic diversity. This is not unlike the sentiment Ginny is navigating in trying to decide whether her gender matters. Of course it matters, and so does race.What doesnt matter is how much we try to mute pieces of ourselves. They shine through anyway.Its the response that counts.

Fernando Alonso has labelled 2016s title fight terribly boring and said Mercedes advantage is so big its drivers can keep crashing and one will still win the championship.?Despite high hopes of a Ferrari challenge this season 2016 is looking likely to be a two-horse race between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. Mercedes holds a healthy lead in both championships despite its drivers colliding twice this year, crashing out of the first lap in Spain and then hitting each other on the final lap of the last race in Austria.On the second occasion it cost the team a certain one-two and saw Nico Rosberg drop to fourth, meaning more lost points for the reigning world champions. Alonso does not think anything will change after Austria despite Mercedes issuing a final warning to Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg because the team is so far ahead of its rivals.?Asked about the situation, Alonso said: I know its a big thing for the media because the championship is terribly boring and they are winning every race and its good to talk but I dont think that they will change anything for them or anything for the championship. Life will still be the same after Austria.Its something that will happen, they crash in 2014 iin Spa, this has been going on and on.dddddddddddd In Austin last year, in Suzuka, in some races and this year its Austria and maybe Austin again in 10 races time. Theyve been three times world champions and nothing will change, it is normal, they are close.They dont have battles with Red Bull because they are 30 seconds [behind], they dont have battles with Ferrari because they are one minute ahead, they have battles with their teammates. Sometimes they crash but in 50 races they crash three times, its normal.Alonso welcomed Mercedes decision to let the drivers race on.That is good probably for the fans, for everyone, because the sport is about competition but if one day they need to police this, probably it is normal because at the end of the day there is one team principal, there is one owner, there is one president of car company, they want to see both cars on the podium, not in the gravel so its something that as I said from the outside its not a big thing, I dont think even on the inside its a big thing because they will finish first and second in the championship.
