Kyle was closest, picking up the baseball that got away from me, and he called for time out. We had to regroup. Especially after missing out on such a good double play.
I looked up at Kyle.
Kyle immediately smiled, laughed, and patted me on the shoulder. "Just one look at you and I know what you're thinking. Sometimes you're easier to read than a picture book."
I put my head down, embarrassed.
Kyle guided me back to the mound where the rest of the infielders were gathering.
"Nice try." Sean said.
"I could have thrown it a bit better." Jason sighed.
"Nothing lost, nothing gained." Noah clapped with his glove.
I looked around at the guys. None of them seemed upset by my drop.
"Right." Kyle agreed with Noah. "I'll get the next guy. No problem."
