I glanced at Coach Luis and saw him frowning. The players went to the mound just as the coach sent his pitcher to the dugout.
"Already?" I was taken aback.
"They must be bringing in a lefty." Coach Luis got closer to say to me since it was just us by first now.
A new pitcher came jogging in from the bullpen. He received the baseball from his coach, said a few words to his teammates, then his teammates stepped off the mound while the catcher jogged back to the plate. He started to take some practice pitches.
I looked at Coach Luis, not sure what to ask.
"The saying is that in same-sided matchups, the pitcher will have the advantage." Coach Luis told me. "Of course, it's not for certain. Lot of factors in play."
I nodded.
