So we now know who will be focused on for the first episodes of Win Or Lose that will be available on February 19th in the two-episode premiere. In the first episode, “Coach’s Kid,” we get to meet Laurie, the coach’s kid, and while she may not be the most skilled player on the team, she is overflowing with spirit. She does struggle with insecurity which is represented by the sentient creature Sweaty that only she can see. Laurie’s anxiety is working overtime as the championship game gets closer as she really wants to do well and make her dad, who is the coach, proud.
In the second episode, “Blue,” we get to meet Frank, a middle-school teacher and the umpire for the local softball league and it super focused on the sport with an unwavering attitude towards fairness. With Frank we will follow him in his personal life as he tries a data app. He will try to use his new confidence to win back his ex. This is where we know this show is going to cover all different generations and their perspectives. Being able to see things from both the kid and adults points of view makes this a show we don’t want to miss and watch as a family.
The more we hear of Win Or Lose, the more we are interested in seeing how well it relates to the real life sports issues.

Win or Lose – Two-Episode Premiere
Pixar’s first original series follows intertwined stories of eight different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game. The series reveals what it actually feels like to be in the shoes of each character—the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire—with incredibly funny, very emotional and uniquely animated perspectives.“Coach’s Kid”
Laurie (voice of Rosie Foss) may not be the most skilled player on her softball team, but she makes up for it in spirit—most of the time. The 12-year-old struggles with insecurity that manifests into an amorphous, sentient creature called Sweaty (voice of Jo Firestone) that only she can see. Laurie’s anxiety mounts as the championship draws nearer—she literally carries an ever-growing Sweaty on her back, struggling under its weight. All she wants is to score a hit and make her dad aka Coach (voice of Will Forte) proud.“Blue”
Frank (voice of Josh Thomson), a middle-school teacher and the umpire for the local softball league, lives his life from the sidelines. On the field, he never waivers: a strike is a strike and an out is an out, period. In his personal life, however, he’s guarded when it comes to social situations, donning metaphorical protective gear—just like an umpire behind the plate. When Frank reluctantly tries a dating app, he surprises himself with newfound confidence. He even begins to entertain ideas of winning his ex, Monica (voice of Vyvan Pham), back. But then again, being vulnerable might be the wrong call.
