"And so what of it? I barely did anything in this game, but I've already been taken out." Ken shot back scathingly. A whole lot of frustration had bubbled to the surface over the coach's conduct in this match.
First it was the Zachary situation in the outfield, followed by the dugout confrontation. Then, so soon after being put on the mound, he was promptly removed from the game before he could even warm up properly.
This was enough to shake his confidence in the ability of Coach Brown.
Steve let out a sigh. He was not used to Ken being the irrational party in situations like this. Usually, the guy would take things in stride and handle them maturely, yet today he seemed far more volatile than usual.
"What is the purpose of today's game?" Steve asked patiently.
Ken's expression showed his annoyance as he stared at his friend. It was clear that he wasn't going to answer the guy.
