That was season finale not series finale.

And Ginny's arm isn't broken. It's merely a light strain and if you knew anything about baseball, you wouldn't have posted such a dumb assumption.

Personally I'm in favor of it being a legit injury so that next season can be about Ginny dealing with rehab. She's already proven the doubters that a woman can play pro baseball wrong, now she'll have to prove the people who doubt she can come back from her injury at the same level of play wrong. It's both the soap opera thing to do and a reason to give her a new kind of adversity to overcome, because sexism is kind of played out on this show. She's proven she can hang with the best players in the world. Time for a more personal brand of adversity, just to keep things fresh.

Yes, in Sci-Fi Fantasy land. I am so happy for you.

Yes, all those nasty FACTS are sexist...even if they ARE facts.

Woman can NOT do all the same things as men. There are MANY things that women will NEVER be able to do any where NEAR as well as a man. It is BIOLOGICAL you moron. Nothing to do with Vagina Power.

"See me. I am woman. And I have a Magical Vagina!"
Please. Just keep it clean for us and STFU.

I hope it comes back for a second season. I liked it & I hate it when they end series with a cliffhanger ending without knowing if there will be another season.

^^^This!

Once I get invested in a show, I like to see it to completion in one way or another. Even if it gets cancelled, I hate when they end on a cliffhanger.

If you're not taking any steps forward, you're not moving at all.

I didn't think I would really like it, but I grew to so I hope it comes back for another season. I thought it actually wasn't a bad show.

I also hate ending on cliffhangers.

I have EXORCISED the demon

I think it was to give the series a subtle send-off.

The episode ended that way for two reasons. Pitch wasn't even supposed to have aired it's first episode yet. The show was supposed to debut in conjunction with the 2017 baseball season probably sometime in mid-June. But when the people at Fox saw the finished product, they liked what they saw so much that moved up Pitch's debut to this past September.

Had the episodes aired when they were originally intended, the 10th episode would've been shown in conjunction with the winding down or ending of the 2017 baseball season. Moving the debut of the show up almost 10 months, changed everything with regards to the flow of the episodes. For example, the episode where Ginny get's named to the All Star team would've aired at the time of the real All Star Game. But moving up Pitch's debut changed that.

The other reason why they did that in the episode 10 is because of their pitching coaches. During interviews, Kylie Bunbury has mentioned all the time she's spent with Gregg Olson and Kevin Gregg learning how to pitch. During a game near the end of the season, one of the two of them did exactly what Ginny did. He fielded a bunt, threw to first and strained his arm. They were saluting whichever of their pitching coaches actually did that.
