The second inning followed the same pattern of three up, three down. The fourth batter had the best performance with a hard line drive right to Chris's glove. It would have been a double down the line so I thought it was a nice grab. Batter five hit a grounder to Daniel at short, and batter six struck out.
"He wastes too much movement." Noah grumbled as his eyes followed Daniel, tracking him back to the dugout.
"He took his time." Zeke replied. At first it sounded like an agreement, but then he continued. "You should learn not to rush as well. Be more aware of the runner. Is he fast? Is he slow? How much effort is he putting in?"
Noah made a face to show his displeasure. "Or, don't worry about the runner and just focus on getting the ball to Julian for the out."
"It's more about accuracy than speed, Noah." Zeke lectured.
"When have I ever made a bad throw?" Zeke opened his mouth to answer, but Noah cut him off. "This year! Have I made an error yet this year?"
