Pilot So here ' s the thing . I think Hit the Diamond is a bad episode . While the gemstyle baseball is fun and gets some good laughs , something always feels . off about it , to me . Like the characters seem like a portrait of themselves , and just their descriptions rather than who they actually are . The comedy hits well , but I ' m not sure if it ' s the pacing that causes the issue or the dialogue , maybe the plot itself , but it just doesn ' t come together for me . I have no issue with comedy centered episodes without characters crying , in fact I ' d advocate for less episodes to rely on having the characters only communicate through crying . The Pilot , does beat out Hit the Diamond for me . The characters feel more like themselves in the pilot than in Hit the Diamond , oddly enough . Preach , it , bro .
