Here’s another example of how the author doesn’t understand sports. He assumes that, like football teams have one starting quarterback, that baseball teams have only one starting pitcher, who’s expected to pitch all the games — unless he gets replaced by someone better. And that was the case — about 150 years ago. Now, even high school teams have multiple starting pitchers, so there’s no point in benching Pedro just to start Kwan — you can use them both! I mean, Pedro is supposed to be a pro prospect, right? With Pedro and Kwan, you could blow the Valley away! But, no. Luke’s just a psychopath, I guess. (And the romance subplot was old when Shakespeare used it in “Romeo and Juliet”.)
