You a ballplayer by any chance?

Not being a ballplayer, there's something I'm genuinely fuzzy on: Wedge has had Olivo before, right? The precedent doesn't consist of their established relationship?
If Wedge pinch-hits for Montero, the kid might wonder whether Wedge is losing confidence or whatnot. If he pinch-hits for Olivo, then Olivo is going to know that he and Wedge are still fine.

I kinda thought Wedge was in "serve notice" mode. The other team captain, Brendan Ryan, was sitting out because of a careless throw the day before :- )
