The most effective way to resolve the issue of contested usage in these sentences is to clarify who is being referred to by "the pitcher." The best option to achieve this is:
We brought a pitcher of water for the baseball players, but one of the players said that he wanted lemonade instead.
This option clearly distinguishes between the pitcher (the container) and the players, eliminating confusion.
