- 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.
