Hola, colegas.

Voy a hacer dos preguntas sobre la misma oración. No soy muy experta en baseball y no entiendo por dónde va la cosa. Luego voy a hacer una tercera consulta sobre esto.

Acá va:


With the Start of Baseball Season, XXX', Network is on Deck and Ready to Hit One Out of the Park


¿Qué significa 'to be on the deck'?

Thanks!
