Answer 1

The most effective way to resolve the issue of contested usage in these sentences is:

We brought water for the baseball players. But one of the players said that he wanted lemonade instead.

This change clarifies the ambiguity by specifying that "we brought water" instead of "a pitcher of water," thereby distinguishing between the water being brought for the players and the "pitcher" as a player.
