The one part of the movie Sugar that i hated is when we became frustrated when Sugar can only throw in a couple game before he stops throwing like before. he throw becomes weak and straight forward. when that happens he gets switched with another one. in any word's Sugar hated getting switched so he tried anything an the one thing that he tried was a pill. it was probably steroids pill but they told Sugar to only consume half of the pill. witch he did not listen to. so Sugar took the hole pill before a new game started. Sugar was doing really good at the game until half of the game. Sugar started getting really dizzy and Nauseous and it was because if he would of taking half of it like they said he would of been fine. so they switched him again. so Sugar starts doing pills and he gets really bad but in the end the the movie he starts getting better and he starts being him self again
