  • Preston's performance is the first aged-worst nomination, characterized as stopping the movie's momentum.
  • Chapel watching Jane and Ian through her window in the rain is criticized as stalking.
  • The runaway-daughter subplot and Jane obtaining Chapel's direct stadium phone line are criticized; detailed objections are deferred.
  • The changed experience of seeing Simmons after his broader fame is an aged-worst observation: the surprising contrast with his Oz role has diminished.
  • The final diving play and comfortable margin at first are criticized as unrealistic; the batter's failure to beat it out inspires jokes about demotion.
  • Removing the reported full-frontal scene is an aged-worst nomination; the quoted studio executive's doubts are rejected.
  • The players holding up numbers when Heather boards the plane are interpreted as jokes about her age and an imagined relationship with Chapel, with the interpretation explicitly qualified as uncertain; this is judged poorly aged.
  • Chapel's remark about wanting to kill Jane at the end of their phone argument is criticized.
  • The owner's complaint that modern developments ruined baseball is rejected in favor of progress.
  • Kelly Preston is the final aged-worst answer.
