He was probably expecting Wagner to be batting right-handed and got surprised. Given the 'wrong side' set-up, to me that builds a better case for it being Wagner.
Thanks Scott! This is great feedback!! There are a lot of no votes without reasons. I have seen nothing to dispute sabr's findings thus far.
