Coach went back to the dugout, as us fielders left James on the mound so he could warmup with Bryce. The umpire gave him a few minutes starting with regular throwing and then working his way up to pitching.
Noah spoke with Jason about some MLB teams as the season was about to start this weekend, while my eyes wandered around. The fans in the stands were 90% parents and the rest looked to be friends or classmates. I wonder if that would have been me if Noah didn't force me to tryout for the team. Would I still watch? I don't think I would have been able to cut it on the freshmen or JV team. The Atkins had to take care of me so much, stand up for me, comfort me, so without them, I wouldn't be playing again. Not like I played in the first place.
I looked to the outfield. Zeke stood in position with his arms folded across his chest. Mahki and Tony had both went in to join him in center field, probably chatting like we do for the infield.
