This is a locked chapterCHAPTER 143/ DECLARATION OF INTENT
About This Chapter
It's lunch time, and the guys are talking about how the machine is going to throw 95 miles an hour. They're worried that if they don't hit the ball hard enough, they're going to get hit by a fly ball, which means they'll have to hit a grounder to get a runner out of the way. They decide to practice bunting, which they've never done before, and then head back to practice fielding.
