David Allen Moates (born January 30, 1948) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. He played all or part of three seasons in the major leagues, from 1974 until 1976, for the Texas Rangers. (wikipedia)
The first three innings he couldn't find the plate but he settled down in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. He wasn't comfortable out there and his release point was a little off.
For some of these kids, this will be the place they catch the first fish in their lives.
Fundamentally, they beat us in every facet of the game. You can't play baseball like that and expect to win . . . not in this district.
As I came across the front toward these windows, one of the officers was looking in there, and he signaled for me to come out. Then he signaled for me to get the rest of my people out.
Dillon has played very solid defense for us, we've just got to get him on track at the plate. We've had very solid defense up the middle.
The kids didn't come ready to play from the start. We let that fly ball drop for a double. But they made several mistakes, and we didn't capitalize.
It's his arm action. Then, he gathers himself well on the mound and lets it go. (Olson) even commented that his arm action is better than it was a month ago.
You can't put 23 people on base and expect to win the game. You can't make six physical mistakes.
They kids swung the bats, didn't they? We got decent pitching, too. Those are nice pluses to have.
Their pitcher gets out on the mound and handed us our lunch. The kids did not make any adjustments. They all still tried to pull the ball.
