Steroid scandal rocks Itamar Moses’ baseball drama

Instead, Moses focuses on the turmoil surrounding the steroid scandals that have rocked America’s favorite pastime since the 1980s. Moses personalizes information from more than two decades of sports headlines, creating snippets of news conferences and increasingly paranoid off-the-field interactions among three successful baseball players.

Daniel Aukin directs the nine scenes, many in an all-purpose locker room where not much changes except the uniform colors. Conversations among the men begin as clubhouse banter, but soon are focusing mostly on the “vitamins” that some players are said to be using. Self-delusion, finger-pointing and resentment eventually pervade their meetings.

Dude, you are like, a year and a half late.
