We've mentioned recently that "Pitch", the show about a female Padres pitcher, was just picked up by Fox. The Hollywood Reporter has an in depth interview with writer/executive producer Dan Fogelman about the series. There was already a partnership between Fox and MLB but this show took it to the next level as they worked together to create the pilot.
THR asks why they chose the Padres as Ginny's team and while it's a good question it seems a bit insulting coming from them. Especially when they call the Padres a small market team and suggest the Dodgers in their place.
