I can attest to that. I've been a left fielder all my life and on those occasions I have to play right field I'm just like whoa this is weird.
Personally had the same issues, didn't want to bring my own experiences into it, but the angles on left side to right side and vice versa can be tricky. Especially when it gets in your head when everything is going wrong.
Mostly a RF, but I did find LF a hell of a lot easier. the balls seemed to come off the bat more true. not as much spin. In RF, i had to play the slices, which were pretty tough if they were near the line.

Thank you! Welsh flag without the green/white background. Should have made it smaller, though.

The family crest is a gold griffon rampant on alternating bands of green and white.

OK, looks like they will pull this one out. Hard to choke on a 12 run lead. I know its been done before but the odds say its pretty tough.

Welcome to Seattle, Mac!
I was just thinking I (and Vogey) should be pissed. Taking the lefty/righty match-up and pinch hitting the RHB of Williamson. What do I know?
