You are interviewing a baseball manager after his team lost a game. The manager put in a relief pitcher who blew a 3-run lead. You want to ask five close-ended questions to get more facts about the game. Also, you want to ask two questions that could evoke memorable quotes. What questions would you ask? Explain why you would ask each of these questions. Make sure the questions are appropriate for the source. Feel free to make up more details about the events in the game.

What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary. Students should write five close-ended questions to gather facts about the game. Sample questions could be, "Did you put in Smith as a relief pitcher because Cantada needed more rest?" Also, students should ask two open-ended questions, such as "How do you think this loss will affect team morale?" Students should include an explanation about why they chose each question.
