Brockmire

In a a dystopian, climate-changed 2030, Jim Brockmire— clean-and-sober but still eloquently nasty — is named commissioner of baseball.

Jim is trying hard to enact change in the league but the owners don't seem to care. At the same time, Jim's relationship with his daughter is getting worse, with visits becoming less frequent as she continues to pull away.

Baseball is barely holding on so Jim turns to the one person he knows can turn it around, Jules James. However, it's going to take a lot of convincing to get her to leave Morristown to help a sport and man who both turned their backs on her.

Jim and Jules agree to keep their relationship professional, but when they team up to trick the owners into selling the teams to new owners who will let them make the changes they want, their antics remind them of the relationship they used to have.

Jules tries to win Beth's approval; Jim is irate that Jules was a bad influence on his daughter.

Beth finds out that Jim lied to her for her entire life about her birth mother.

A potential strike threatens the future of baseball altogether.

Artificial intelligence threatens to take steps in its pursuit to rule the world and attempts to take over baseball. Jim and Jules must decide if they want to embolden this emerging society ruled by machines or stay with the failing status quo.
