Joey squinted at third base like he expected a replay.

"I said fair." Coach repeated himself.

Joey looked like he wanted to argue, but clenched his jaw shut and left the mound without issue.

I was surprised he took that so well. I glanced back at Coach.

Coach wasn't looking at me though. He had waved the next pitcher to step up for practice pitches and then he made a move towards Alisha in the dugout.

With nothing to do, I followed him over, curious as to what he wanted to say.

"Alisha, mark down that Jake hit a grounder to third base for me, please." Coach told her. "Go ahead and mark down that he hit a grounder to second for Matt too."

Alisha wrote down the notes next to each name.

I looked up at Coach, curious as to what it meant. Did I do something wrong? Does that count against me? Should I be trying harder?
