Eastbound & Down - Season 3

After a great start to his season with the Myrtle Beach Mermen, Kenny returns home for his son's first birthday. April then comes to Myrtle Beach and after a night out with Kenny, she leaves him with more than just a hangover.

Kenny attempts to track down April to no avail and also fails in pawning Toby off on his brother. Realizing he will need help if he is to raise his child, Kenny tries to convince Stevie to rejoin him. However, he must first rescue Stevie from the clutches of his new employer, a vengeful Ashley Schaeffer.

Pro scout Roy McDaniel arrives in Myrtle Beach to ask Kenny to mentor Ivan Dochenko, a promising young Russian pitching prospect. Stevie lays down the ground rules for his return to Kenny's team while grappling with Shane and Kenny's relationship.

Kenny thinks his son Toby is cursed and might be to blame for a recent run of bad luck, and later tries to bond with Shane's puritanical family. Meanwhile, Stevie is racked with guilt.

Kenny is shocked when he receives some unexpected visitors, and in a desperate attempt to regain control over his team, he plans the ultimate Independence Day celebration. Stevie struggles with his guilt and makes a confession.

Stevie continues to grieve over what he has lost, while Kenny attempts to come to terms with the challenging responsibilities he faces as a father and as a man. He decides to take his chances with a brand new pitch.

Desperate to return to the mound, Kenny attempts to get back in the good graces of his manager, but his quest for redemption is complicated by several unseen obstacles. A broken-hearted Stevie tries to win back Maria's love.

While Kenny attempts to handle the current path his life seems to be taking, an unanticipated and suspicious turn of events changes the future he was certain he had as a minor-league pitcher with the Myrtle Beach Mermen.
