city last played rapid
We played well in Rapid City last Sunday.
both pleased
I was pleased with both games. Our sportsmanship was outstanding.
anywhere invaluable pitcher pitching player team utility
When he is not pitching he can play anywhere. He is really invaluable to this team not only is he the No. 1 pitcher he is just a utility player that can play anywhere else.
backing dan good great scoring start team year
I think Dan had a great first outing. That's a good way to start the year with the team backing you up and scoring 16 runs.
afford baseball colleges high kids recruit school season
We have some kids who want to use this high school season and the Legion baseball as a springboard for college. I think high school baseball will afford colleges to recruit during the school year.
hook hopefully kids younger
This will make us more competitive for Legion. Hopefully it (club season) will take off and more kids will want to play. I think it will put the hook into the younger kids.
played
They were not overwhelming at all. We played terrible.
duration eight hard physical pitcher pitches player six takes throw throwing weeks
It takes about six to eight weeks of physical conditioning before a player can really throw hard for a seven-inning duration where the pitcher is throwing 70 to 100 pitches hard.
bad bunch errors five game hit opportunity plays six
We had six errors in the first game and five in the second. I was really disappointed. We never had an opportunity to put a whole bunch of plays together. They hit well and we made bad pitches.
early stuff warm
Early I don't think he (Picket) had all of his stuff and also he didn't get to warm up properly.
amount came cup last plays problem second throws year
He came into his own last year as a second baseman. He had a problem with his rotator cup because the amount of plays and the amount of throws that he makes.
anyone last program successful year
I don't want anyone to get hurt. We had a really successful Legion program last year - it's already a long season.
crushed game
Offensively the first game we just crushed the ball.
award came dan last pitching received regional year
Dan really came into his own pitching last year (during Legion play). He received the sportsmanship award during the regional tournament.
