Win or Lose

Matt Roush says...

Pixar knows how to play the game, with Inside Out 2 the studio’s latest Oscar nominee. So don’t be surprised if Pixar’s first animated streaming series is a contender in this year’s Emmy race. Win or Lose takes an endearing and multi-faceted look at a coed middle-school softball team preparing for a State Championship game, with episodes focusing on various players — including the coach’s kid, Laurie (voiced by Rosie Foss), whose anxiety manifests in an imaginary blob called “Sweaty” (Jo Firestone) — as well as parents and a neurotic umpire. Regardless of the final score, they’re all winners.
