  • 4/26 2:09 pm - Strong opener, good music selection and variety of broll. Framing of interviews are off. Audio is tinny. Two high school kids with no baseball experience don’t make this story valid. Both subjects sounded rehearsed and scripted, diluted the story again.
  • 4/10 1:19 pm - Nice opening sequence, but it felt really long leading up to the interviews. The choice to interview two high school kids really doesn’t provide the credibility necessary to build a solid documentary. Without in-season shots of fans to support the claims of the students it looks really bare and out of context. If you can find local writers, broadcasters or other professionals to interview and shoot during the summer when baseball is at it's best, this will be much stronger.
