SIGN    Day 2 of Camp
[00:10] Sa
    Damn it!
[00:12] Sa
    I'm still tired from yesterday!
[00:14] Ku
    You're done.
[00:15] Ku
    Go do your fielding practice.
[00:16] Sa
    Damn it!
[00:17] Sa
    I'm still tired from yesterday!
SIGN    Lead With Your Plays!
[01:51] Sa
    Two hundred soft-toss batting drills,
    field practice, and running...

[01:55] Sa
    This is way too much
    to do before breakfast.
[01:59] Ka
    A minimum of three bowls of rice.
[02:02] Ka
    I have to report to the upperclassmen
    if you don't finish anything.
[02:07] Ka
    Here. Eat this, too.
[02:09] Sa
    What? Do you hate me?
SIGN    You must eat at least three bowls of rice per meal!
[02:11] Ka
    It's my gift for making the first-string.
[02:14] Sa
    I can tell you don't mean it!
[02:16] Is
    You don't sound tired, Sawamura.
[02:19] Is
    Should we make the
    evening practice harder?
[02:20] Sa
    Not at all!
[02:21] Sa
    I'm seriously tired!
[02:27] Ka
    Hey!
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[02:28] Ka
    You're not eating anything!
[02:30] Ka
    Stop pretending to eat!
[02:35] Ha
    Sawamura-kun,
[02:36] Ha
    Kanemaru-kun said he'll tell the
    upperclassmen you were sleeping.
SIGN    Watchdog
[02:45] Sa
    I'm not safe anywhere!
[02:47] P1
    You're holding it backwards!
SIGN    Evening Practice
[02:55] Fu
    I just want to stand on the mound.
[02:57] Is
    Sakai, Shirasu!
[02:59] Is
    Looks like Furuya can play outfield!
[03:02] Sa
    I'm not handing
    my spot over to anyone.
[03:04] Sh
    I won't lose.
[03:06] Ch
    Furuya's basically made
    of pure baseball talent.
[03:10] Ch
    His fielding isn't too bad.
[03:12] Ch
    But look at you...
SIGN    Seido High School Practice Field
[03:15] Ch
    You don't need to do
    outfield practice anymore.
[03:18] Sa
    What's with that sigh?
[03:19] Ch
    Oh well.
[03:21] Ch
    I guess I'll let you pitch.
[03:24] Ch
    This guy'll catch anything
    you throw at him.
[03:28] Ch
    He's the best on the team.
[03:30] Ch
    Throw as much as you'd like.
[03:32] Sa
    The net?
[03:34] Sa
    You're not going to catch
    for me, Chris-senpai?
[03:37] Ch
    Don't be naïve.
[03:38] Ch
    If you want a catcher,
    ask Miyuki or Miyauchi.
[03:41] Sa
    I thought we had something together!
[03:44] Ch
    It'll feel more realistic if you use a ball
[03:46] Ch
    instead of just practicing
    your form with the towel drill.
[03:49] Sa
    All of these?
[03:51] Ch
    Just throw from close-up.
[03:53] Ch
    But throw each ball with care.
[03:56] Ch
    Don't ever forget what you felt
    when you threw that pitch.
[04:03] Ch
    Make that form your second-nature.
[04:06] Ch
    Got it?
[04:08] Sa
    Chris-senpai...
SIGN    Day 3 of Camp
[04:17] Sa
    What's wrong?
[04:18] Sa
    Feeling tired already?
[04:22] Ha
    I can't move my legs.
[04:24] Ku
    Looks like they're not
    moving identically anymore.
[04:27] Ry
    If you're tired,
    go ahead and take a break.
[04:30] Ry
    There are many people
    who want to take your place.
[04:35] P1
    It's getting quiet!
[04:37] Ma
    Where's your spirit?
[04:38] Ma
    Want me to take over?
[04:43] Ha
    I'm perfectly fine.
[04:44] Ry
    Then don't show it, stupid.
[04:49] Ma
    Hey!
[04:50] Ma
    Swing with your hips!
[04:51] Ma
    The ball's not flying
    forward at all!
[04:54] Fu
    I just want to be on the mound.
[04:58] Ch
    Your foot's not high enough.
[05:00] Ch
    It was much higher
    during the game.
[05:02] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[05:04] Sa
    Damn...
[05:05] Sa
    I can't raise my legs
    because of all the base running...
[05:09] Ch
    You're throwing too high.
[05:14] Sa
    The older guys are throwing
    like they're not tired.
[05:18] Fu
    Why am I still not in the bullpen?
[05:21] Yu
    One, two!
[05:22] Re
    One, two, one more time!

    Stretch and get some sleep!
[05:40] PP
    Yes, sir!
[05:42] Sa
    Crap...
[05:44] Sa
    I can't move...
[05:45] Fu
    At all...
[05:48] Ha
    How are they still...
    standing?
[05:52] Sa
    Monsters!
[05:56] Ka
    How are the two first-year pitchers?
[05:59] Ka
    The fatigue should be
    getting to them by now.
[06:02] Ch
    Yes, sir.
[06:03] Ch
    As you instructed,
[06:04] Ch
    they aren't pitching until
    they get used to the camp.
[06:08] Ch
    I plan to slow down their training soon
[06:09] Ch
    to let them pitch in the bullpen
    and for batting practice.
[06:13] Ka
    How are Tanba and Kawakami?
[06:16] Mi
    They are doing fine.
[06:18] Ka
    We still have a long way to go.
[06:20] Ka
    Don't push them too hard.
[06:21] Mi
    Yes, sir.
[06:24] Ta
    I want to focus on
    that pitch again today.
[06:27] Ka
    On the last weekend of our camp,
[06:29] Ka
    I've arranged three practice games.
[06:32] Ka
    On Saturday, Furuya and
    Sawamura will throw a game.
[06:36] Ka
    For the doubleheader on Sunday,
[06:38] Ka
    I'll have Tanba and
    Kawakami on each game.
[06:41] Ka
    I don't care about the score.
[06:43] Ka
    I just want to see how
    strong-willed everyone can be
[06:48] Ka
    at maximum fatigue.
[06:59] Sa
    That was close!
[07:01] Sa
    I almost drowned!
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[07:02] Sa
    Don't fall asleep!
[07:03] Sa
    You'll die if you do!
[07:05] Sa
    And you should've woken me up!
SIGN    Day 4 of Camp
[07:09] Mi
    Nice pitch, Nori.
[07:12] Ka
    It feels unsettling
    to hear you compliment.
[07:14] Ka
    What's the rest of it?
[07:16] Mi
    I mean it.
[07:17] Mi
    There aren't many batters
    who can hit what you just threw.
[07:21] Mi
    You're a sidearm pitcher.
[07:23] Mi
    You gotta use the wide strike
    zone you have effectively.
[07:26] Mi
    You have amazing ball control.
[07:29] Mi
    You need to pitch
    with more confidence.
[07:37] Mi
    Great pitch, as always.
[07:39] Mi
    He's tired, so it's not bad.
[07:43] Mi
    But I can tell he's throwing
    every pitch with everything he has.
[07:47] Mi
    We don't have the luxury of another year.
[07:50] Mi
    I'll take your catcher spot soon, too.
[07:55] Mi
    Yes, sir.
[07:56] Mi
    Looking forward to it.
[07:58] Ma
    Hey!
[07:59] Ma
    Stop looking around!
[08:01] Ma
    Focus over here!
[08:03] Sa
    Damn it!
[08:03] Sa
    I want to pitch already!
[08:08] P1
    Nice fielding!
[08:10] P2
    So you can do it if you try.
[08:12] Sa
    Hey, my body just
    moved on its own!
[08:15] Ch
    Finally, he's starting to do
    it without thinking about it.
[08:19] Re
    I just hope it wasn't a fluke.
[08:21] Fu
    I can't lose.
[08:25] Ma
    Furuya!
[08:26] Ma
    Focus on the ball!
[08:31] Ku
    This is tough.
[08:32] Ku
    I'm at my limit.
[08:35] Is
    Someone carry the first-years!
[08:39] Mi
    Have you been practicing
    the forkball in secret lately?
[08:45] Mi
    With your height, Tanba-san,
[08:47] Mi
    I think it's an excellent
    choice of weapon.
[08:50] Mi
    But no matter what
    breaking ball you throw,
[08:53] Mi
    it's the fastball
    that brings it to life.
[08:56] Mi
    Please don't ever forget that.
[09:04] Ta
    Saying whatever he wants
    to his upperclassman...
[09:06] Ta
    To be frank, I don't like this guy.
[09:11] Ta
    It's up to you to decide
    if it's useful or not.
[09:14] Ta
    But I have faith in what I throw.
[09:20] Mi
    Trying to learn anything he can
    just to keep the mound for himself.
[09:26] Mi
    Pitchers are all egotists.
[09:30] Mi
    Though...
[09:31] Mi
    Being able to control
    those egotists
[09:34] Mi
    is why I enjoy being
    a catcher so much.
[09:39] Fu
    Just ask Chris-senpai to catch for you.
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[09:41] Sa
    I already did, and he politely declined!
[09:45] Sa
    I'm going first!
SIGN    Ignore
[09:46] Sa
    Hey, don't ignore me!
[09:49] Mi
    What are you two doing?
[09:51] Mi
    Get in the bath already.
[09:53] Fu
    I haven't been in the bullpen lately,
[09:55] Fu
    so I wanted to ask you to catch.
[09:56] Sa
    I'm only here because
    Chris-senpai told me no.
[09:59] Mi
    Wait, now?
[10:01] Mi
    You guys were dying after
    the base-running exercise.
[10:03] Mi
    And you still want to pitch?
[10:05] Sa
    Yes!
[10:06] Sa
    Let me pitch once!
[10:07] Fu
    I'd like ten pitches.
[10:09] Sa
    Then I want fifteen!
[10:10] Fu
    Twenty, then.
[10:14] Mi
    Hey, man...
[10:15] Mi
    What about my plan for the night?
[10:18] Mi
    They're completely self-centered.
[10:23] Mi
    Interesting!
[10:26] Mi
    You guys are awesome!
[10:28] Mi
    If you have that much energy,
    it should be fine.
[10:31] Mi
    Go take a bath,
    then come to my room.
[10:34] Sa
    Are we pitching in your room?
[10:36] Mi
    Don't mind the details.
[10:37] Mi
    Don't take too long.
[10:42] Sa
    Excuse me.
[10:44] Mi
    Hey, you're here.
[10:47] Is
    You guys are late!
[10:48] Is
    Get in here, already!
[10:50] Mi
    You guys are full of energy, right?
[10:52] Mi
    Can you take care of them?
[10:55] Mi
    They come over every night,
    and I'm really tired.
[10:58] Is
    Hey!
[10:59] Is
    First-year, massage my foot!
[11:01] Ku
    Sawamura, go get me juice.
[11:02] Na
    Not fair! I want one, too.
[11:04] Yu
    Miyuki, let's pick up from
     where we left off yesterday.
[11:08] Mi
    May I please have a break?
[11:10] Mi
    I can't handle you, Tetsu-san.
[11:12] Mi
    You're too weak.
[11:13] Mi
    Can you play shogi?
[11:16] Sa
    I've played with my grandpa, so a bit.
[11:18] Mi
    All right!
[11:19] Mi
    Go, Sawamura!
[11:20] Sa
    Wait, what about the bullpen?
[11:23] Yu
    Let's have a good game.
[11:25] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[11:26] Sa
    Crap, I can't say no.
[11:28] Mi
    Tetsu-san and Nakata
    are commuters.
[11:32] Mi
    So they come here
    to play during the camps.
[11:35] Mi
    Jun-san asks me
    for a massage every day.
[11:38] Mi
    Kuramochi and Nakata are
    gaming buddies, apparently.
[11:42] Mi
    And... why is Masuko-san sleeping here?
[11:45] Mi
    But, you know...
[11:47] Mi
    It's not bad to learn about the people
[11:49] Mi
    playing defense behind you, right?
[11:56] Sa
    That was on his mind...
[11:59] Sa
    when he called us over?
[12:03] Mi
    All right...
[12:05] Mi
    Well, take care of things!
[12:09] Mi
    I'm going to sleep in Zono's room.
[12:12] Yu
    What's wrong?
[12:13] Yu
    It's your move.

    Hey, you!

    Damn it! He ran away!
[12:21] Sa
    Now I have to deal with them?
[12:23] Yu
    You're good.
[12:24] Ku
    Sawamura, where's my juice?
[12:26] Sa
    He's so self-centered!
[12:28] Mi
    I can finally get a good night's sleep.
[12:32] Is
    That hurt!
[12:33] Is
    Be more gentle.
[12:35] Fu
    I'm sorry. Bad habit.
[12:36] Is
    Bad habit? What?
[12:38] Ku
    Did you know?
[12:39] Ku
    Sawamura has a girlfriend back home!
[12:42] Sa
    Hey! Don't tell them!
[12:43] Sa
    It's a lie!
[12:44] Sa
    She's just a childhood friend!
[12:47] Is
    Oh?
[12:48] Is
    Could you tell us about it in detail?
[12:52] Yu
    In detail.
[12:54] Sa
    She's not my girlfriend!
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[12:56] Sa
    I haven't even been
    replying to her emails!

    Don't worry about that!

    I've been replying
    to her in your place.

    So it was you all along!

    I am.
[13:34] Mi
    Got a problem with that?
[13:39] Ch
    Miyauchi asked me if he could.
[13:43] Ch
    As a first-string catcher,
    I don't see why not.

    Despite how he looks, he's got
    more spirit than most of us here.

    All that's left of this hell is the game.
[18:47] Mi
    Thank you for the food!
[18:49] Sa
    More importantly...
[18:50] Sa
    When are you gonna catch my pitch?
[18:54] Sa
    The game's tomorrow!
[18:56] Mi
    Talking to me?
SIGN    Willpower
[18:57] Sa
    Don't we need to do anything?
[18:58] Sa
    A meeting for tomorrow?
[19:00] Sa
    Do some preparations?
[19:01] Fu
    That's right.
[19:03] Mi
    Are you guys being serious?
[19:05] Mi
    What are we gonna talk about when
    you can't throw breaking balls?
[19:11] Mi
    You guys probably have a lot of fatigue,
[19:13] Mi
    so go get obliterated tomorrow.
[19:19] Fu
    A breaking ball...
[19:21] (Flashback) Mi
    Hey, Furuya.
[19:22] (Flashback) Mi
    Use this.
[19:24] (Flashback) Fu
    Nail polish?
[19:25] (Flashback) Mi
    It helps prevent your nails from cracking.
[19:28] (Flashback) Mi
    You might've been fine
    with just fastballs until now,
[19:31] (Flashback) Mi
    but not anymore.
[19:33] (Flashback) Mi
    Once people do the research,
[19:34] (Flashback) Mi
    and they start letting your high
    ball pitches pass, we're doomed.
[19:39] (Flashback) Mi
    You need to run more
    and improve your ball control.
[19:42] (Flashback) Mi
    Also, there are balls you can throw
    without putting pressure on your nails.
[19:47] (Flashback) Mi
    If you find yourself bored,
    put a ball between your fingers like this.
[19:51] (Flashback) Mi
    Some famous pitcher long ago
[19:53] (Flashback) Mi
    apparently lifted a 2-liter glass
    bottle with just his two fingers.
[19:57] (Flashback) Mi
    Forkballs stress your elbow,
    so I won't let you throw much,
[20:01] (Flashback) Mi
    but if you even have
    just one breaking ball,
[20:03] (Flashback) Mi
    your fastballs will
    become harder to hit.
[20:06] (Flashback) Mi
    Get me even more excited,
    monster rookie.
[20:12] Fu
    I'd completely forgotten
    about that...
[20:14] Sa
    And you call yourself a catcher?
[20:17] Mi
    Hey, I'm older than you...
[20:19] Sa
    Learn a little from Chris-senpai!
[20:24] Ka
    First-year Kominato,
    get off the field.
[20:26] Ry
    You'd get hurt if you stay.
[20:29] Yu
    One more...
[20:31] Yu
    Please...
[20:46] Ma
    Hey, Kominato.
[20:47] Ma
    Still up?
[20:48] Ha
    Maezono-senpai?
[20:50] Ha
    Y-Yes.
[20:52] Ha
    I can't sleep for some reason.
[20:54] Ma
    Then, can you look at my swing?
[20:56] Ma
    I feel like I'm swinging
    under a little bit.
[20:59] Ha
    You're doing that this late?
[21:01] Ma
    Of course, I am!
[21:03] Ma
    I can't spend all my time
    just helping out the first-string.
[21:06] Ma
    I'm not good enough yet,
    so I can't stop practicing.
[21:11] Ry
    This place isn't as easy...
[21:14] Ry
    as you think.
[21:16] Ry
    There are many people
    who want to take your place.
[21:24] Ha
    Excuse me.
[21:25] Ha
    Can I practice with you?
[21:27] Ma
    What?
[21:28] Ma
    Y-You crazy?
[21:30] Ma
    You need to stop practicing!
[21:32] Ha
    Please!
[21:33] Ma
    Don't be self-centered!
[21:35] Ma
    Damn it.
[21:36] Ma
    I was a fool for coming here.
[21:38] Ma
    You just need to tell
    me about my swing.
[21:40] Ma
    Besides, you have a game tomorrow!
[21:42] Ha
    It's not like I'll play anyway.
[21:44] Ma
    Idiot!
[21:44] Ma
    Be more confident!

    Has he lost his mind?
[23:46] Fu
    I'm not letting anyone hit off of me.
[23:49] Sa

    himself in a bind off the bat!
