[00:05] @Kuramochi
    You snuck off to do swings again.
[00:10] @Kuramochi
    Is that how badly you don't want people
    to see you putting in work?
[00:19] @Kuramochi
    Sawamura was sitting by himself.
[00:25] @Kuramochi
    Was it...
[00:27] @Kuramochi
    because we couldn't make up those runs?
[00:31] @Miyuki
    I'm not sure.
[00:34] @Miyuki
    In any case,
[00:35] @Miyuki
    it felt like he was giving us
    a kick in the pants.
[00:39] @Kuramochi
    Right?
[00:40] @Miyuki
    He batted unusually well, too.
[00:43] @Miyuki
    No one can complain about it.
[00:46] @Kuramochi
    If I had gotten a hit,
    we could have turned the tide.
[00:50] @Kuramochi
    Damn it!
[00:51] @Miyuki
    Oh, so you came to whine?
[00:55] @Kuramochi
    No!
[00:56] @Miyuki
    Go ahead. I'm the captain,
    so I'll listen.
[00:58] @Kuramochi
    Shut up!
[00:59] @Kuramochi
    And don't say that with a grin on your face!
[02:36] @Furuya
    I'm sorry for making you take the mound
    with so many runners on base.
[02:40] @Furuya
    I'm supposed to be the ace.
[02:41] @Sawamura
    That was nothing to sweat about.
[02:44] @Sawamura
    I'm just upset I couldn't turn the tide.
[02:47] @Furuya
    What do you mean?
[02:48] @Sawamura
    About what?!
[02:49] @Furuya
    It's plain to see that this was my fault.
[02:52] @Furuya
    I failed to do my job as the ace.
[02:54] @Sawamura
    No, it was all my fault!
[02:57] @Sawamura
    If I had hit a home run, we would have won!
[02:59] @Sawamura
    Maybe.
[03:00] @Furuya
    Is that a dig?
[03:02] @Sawamura
    No, it's not! The part
    about you sucking is true,
[03:06] @Sawamura
    but if we had rallied,
    that wouldn't have mattered!
[03:09] @Furuya
    As the ace...
[03:10] @Sawamura
    Knock it off with ace this and ace that!
[03:12] @Sawamura
    If I were a more trustworthy pitcher,
    you'd've been subbed out sooner!
[03:16] @Sawamura
    That makes it my fault!
[03:18] @Furuya
    I don't like how you said that.
[03:20] @Sawamura
    We lost because I'm not trustworthy!
[03:22] @Sawamura
    It's my fault!
[03:23] @Furuya
    Mine.
[03:23] @Sawamura
    It was all me!
[03:24] @Furuya
    No, me!
[03:24] int_Asada
    Wow... they're even competing
    about who made the team lose.
[03:25] @Sawamura
    No, me!
[03:29] Watanabe
    Okay, that's enough.
[03:31] Watanabe
    If you can't rewatch the game calmly, stop.
[03:35] @Sawamura
    Nabe-san, I am calm!
[03:37] Watanabe
    Okay, fine.
[03:39] Watanabe
    The whole team is here,
    so it's time to start the meeting.
[03:46] @Kuramochi
    Nabe-chan, what's going on?
[03:49] Watanabe
    Nothing to worry about.
[03:51] Kukki
    Look how tense they are.
[03:53] Kukki
    This is what it's like when they lose.
[03:55] Seto
    Normally, no one wants to say
    they're the reason the team lost.
[03:59] Seto
    These two are crazy.
[04:03] @Kataoka
    We scored in the first inning
[04:05] @Kataoka
    and hung on to score again
     in the last inning.
[04:07] @Kataoka
    We scored three runs total,
[04:09] @Kataoka
    but I believe our opponents took advantage
    of our aggressive approach.
[04:13] @Kataoka
    Don't swing at balls.
[04:15] @Kataoka
    Think of how to advance the runners.
[04:17] @Kataoka
    Keep your swings sharp, and hits strong.
[04:20] @Kataoka
    Even if you get out, you can
    apply pressure to the other team.
[04:26] @Kataoka
    The western division is
    full of good pitchers.
[04:28] @Kataoka
    Our lineup needs to make the most
    of the few chances we're given.
[04:33] _All
    Yes, sir!
[04:35] @Kataoka
    We have a lot to work on for defense,
    including management.
[04:40] @Yuki
    I'm disappointed in myself.
[04:42] @Kataoka
    Furuya tried to pitch through an off day,
[04:46] @Kataoka
    but walked too many batters.
[04:49] @Kataoka
    It became that much harder for
    defense and offense to form a rhythm.
[04:53] @Kataoka
    But then, Sawamura's pitching helped
    the team get back on its feet.
[04:57] @Kataoka
    Whether they're having an on or off day,
[05:00] @Kataoka
    the one who shoulders the feelings of
    the whole team on the mound is the ace.
[05:04] @Kataoka
    That is how I think of it.
[05:09] @Kataoka
    We have three months until
    the summer tournament.
[05:13] @Kataoka
    The current jersey numbers will be discarded!
[05:15] @Kataoka
    The twenty players on the
    tournament roster will be decided
[05:17] @Kataoka
    by your performance and
    attitude in the coming days!
[05:22] @Kataoka
    I want everyone, especially the third-years,
[05:25] @Kataoka
    to practice hard enough
    not to have any regrets.

    What're you doing tomorrow?
[05:48] @Maezono
    Are Narumiya and Amahisa pitching?
[05:51] Ono
    Both teams got into the Kanto tournament,
    so I don't think they'll be starting.

[06:07] @Sawamura
    Can I come up to your room later?
[06:09] @Miyuki
    Huh?
[06:10] @Sawamura
    I have some questions about today's game.
[06:12] @Miyuki
    Questions?
[06:14] @Sawamura
    I'll be there at 8:00 PM.

[06:19] @Sawamura
    I'll be swinging a bat until
    I get blisters on my palms, okay?!
[06:22] @Sawamura
    I've never felt so useless
    at batting as I did today, okay?!
[06:26] @Miyuki
    Oh, really?
[06:27] @Kuramochi
    Enough with the okays.
[06:28] @Sawamura
    Now to have some dinner!
[06:30] Ono
    He's really pumped.
[06:33] Kawakami
    He stole the show today.
[06:36] Tanaka
    He must really want that ace number.
[06:41] @Kuramochi
    I guess he's mad.
[06:43] @Miyuki
    Could be.
[06:45] @Miyuki
    I wonder what he'll ask.
[06:47] Watanabe
    He was saying he wants to know more
    about how you call for a pitch.
[06:52] @Miyuki
    Nabe?
[06:57] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
    You were brilliant today.
[06:59] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
    Did it feel good?
[07:00] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    No, I didn't think. I just threw the ball
    to where Miyuki-senpai put his glove.
[07:07] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    At this rate, he'll never acknowledge me.
[07:13] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    I need to understand more about
    why he calls the pitches he does.
[07:20] Watanabe
    I think he was thinking about that while he
    was sitting by himself watching the game.
[07:25] Watanabe
    He was probably feeling something
    from Narumiya and Mukai's pitching.
[07:30] Ono
    Really?
[07:31] Tanaka
    That guy?
[07:34] @int_Maezono
    That sounds like how he thinks.
[07:37] int_Kawakami
    Sawamura...
[07:39] @Miyuki
    We can't be beaten.
[07:43] @Miyuki
    We can't let him outshine us like this.
[07:51] int_Watanabe
    Miyuki...
[07:53] @Maezono
    That's right!
[07:54] @Maezono
    This is it for us third-years!
[07:57] @Maezono
    We can't lose! We have to play
    at Koshien Stadium again!
[08:01] @Miyuki
    You're a little too close.
[08:03] @int_Miyuki
    He always exceeds our expectations.
[08:09] @Maezono
    Here we come, Koshien Stadium!
[08:11] @Maezono
    We're gonna be the champions!
[08:13] @Kuramochi
    Keep it down! Enough shouting!
[08:15] _All
    Why? Don't you agree with me?!
[08:16] @int_Miyuki
    Then I guess I'll have to exceed his, too.

    The Tokyo spring tournament final.
SIGN    Sunday,
    April 27th
[08:35] Narrator
    As many predicted, both teams
    chose not to start their ace.
[08:40] Narumiya
    Hiranocchi, it's up to you!
[08:44] (Flashback) fb_Amahisa
    Toshi-chan, I slept on my neck wrong. Sorry.
[08:47] (Flashback) fb_Coach
    What?!
[08:48] Narumiya
    We're counting on you, Hiranocchi!
[08:50] Narumiya
    Itsuki, you'd better make the right calls!
[08:52] Tadano
    Ignore left field.
[08:54] Narrator
    Inashiro Industrial's starting pitcher
    is third-year Keiji Hirano.
[08:59] Narrator
    Ichidai Third begins the game
    with third-year Tatsuya Misaki.
[09:05] @Miyuki
    It's not just the aces' pitching
    we're here to see.
[09:08] @Miyuki
    Look at what pitches each lineup targets,
[09:11] @Miyuki
    and what they do when
    there are runners on base.
[09:15] @Miyuki
    You can learn a lot by imagining
    that you're on the mound.
[09:20] Watanabe
    If we can anticipate what they'll do,
    it takes some of the pressure off.
[09:25] Watanabe
    That's why we thoroughly
    analyze the other teams.
[09:33] Narrator
    In the third, after Inashiro Industrial's
    cleanup Riku Yamaoka hit a two-run home run,
[09:39] Narrator
    Mei Narumiya and Itsuki Tadano both hit for
    extra bases to give the team a three-run lead.
[09:44] Tadano
    Hirano-san!
[09:48] Narrator
    But in the bottom of the inning,
[09:50] Narrator
    Ichidai Third High refused to yield
    and pulled back one run.
[09:56] Narrator
    The game gradually became a hitters' duel.

    Sawamura, you said you wanted
    to learn about game calls.
SIGN    The Previous Night
[10:15] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Yes, sir.
[10:16] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Do you know the difference between
    a pitching sequence and game calling?
[10:20] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Huh?
[10:21] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Difference? The words...
[10:24] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    It looks like you've never heard of them.
[10:26] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Let's start there.
[10:28] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Keep it simple! Please!
[10:30] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    What're you upset about?
[10:32] fb_Kimura
    This is quite the turnout.
[10:36] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    A pitching sequence is a
    theoretical series of pitches
SIGN    Pitching Sequence
    Theoretical, on paper
[10:40] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    based on data of the pitcher's repertoire.
SIGN    Game Call
    Real-life strategy
[10:44] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Game calling takes into account
    the pitcher's condition,
[10:49] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    the pitches the other team is targeting,
    and how the batter looks.
[10:54] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    How many runners are there? How many outs?
[10:56] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    What inning is it? What's the score?
[10:59] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Can we afford to let this batter walk,
[11:02] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    or do we continue to throw strikes,
    even if he might hit them?
[11:05] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    If you can take into account what
    your catcher is thinking, nothing like it.
[11:10] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    However, not every pitch will come
    where you ask for it.
[11:15] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    As the count changes,
    the conditions change, too.
[11:19] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    And to begin with,
    if the pitcher can't hit the strike zone,
[11:22] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    you have to base your
    entire game call around him.
[11:27] (Flashback) @Sawamura
    Hey, he's talking to you, Furuya!
[11:29] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    No matter how carefully
    you calculate your call,
[11:32] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    if they hit the pitch, you were wrong.
[11:34] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    And if the pitch is right down the middle
    but they don't hit it, it doesn't matter.
[11:38] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    That's why calls are debated
    with the benefit of hindsight.
[11:43] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Even so, I think a near-perfect way
    to call a game does exist.
[11:48] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Thinking that way is the catcher's job.
[11:51] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    We want the pitcher to throw
    a pitch he's comfortable with.
[11:55] (Flashback) @Sawamura
    If the pitcher and catcher become one
    and produce a work of art...
[12:01] (Flashback) @Sawamura
    That will be the best pitching of all.
[12:04] (Flashback) fb_Ono
    A work of art?
[12:09] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Okay, let's start at the basic level.
[12:11] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Huh? We haven't started the basic level yet?
[12:13] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Of course not.
[12:15] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Game calling is deep stuff.
[12:20] int_Kawakami
    He's able to connect with slash bunts now.
[12:28] (Flashback) fb_Chris
    Listen.
[12:29] (Flashback) fb_Chris
    Baseball is a sport that doesn't move
    until the pitcher throws the ball.
[12:33] (Flashback) fb_Chris
    That means that pitchers like you, who touch
    the ball longer than anyone else on the team,
[12:39] (Flashback) fb_Chris
    have to know as much as
    possible about baseball.
[12:44] (Flashback) fb_Chris
    Pitchers must stand on the mound shouldering
[12:48] (Flashback) fb_Chris
    their whole team's feelings,
    including those who can't play.
[12:52] @fb_Sawamura
    Every single one of those words
    he said that day...
[12:57] @fb_Sawamura
    I can feel them seeping into me now.
[13:01] (Flashback) fb_Chris
    Where does your talent lie?
[13:05] (Flashback) fb_Tetsu
    We can only do one thing.
[13:08] (Flashback) fb_Tetsu
    We must become stronger for those
    who were not chosen to play.
[13:13] (Flashback) fb_Funami
    Whoever is standing on the mound is the ace!
[13:16] @int_Sawamura
    Seep deeper...

[14:06] @Miyuki
    Inashiro may have won,
    but it probably doesn't feel as sweet.
[14:11] @Miyuki
    They didn't get to see Amahisa pitch.
[14:15] @Miyuki
    Inashiro fights for every run
    in the later innings.
[14:20] @Miyuki
    Even with their ace on the bench,
    Ichidai can hold their own against Inashiro.

    "If you don't like the outcome,
    then work to change it."
[14:37] @int_Furuya
    That's what the coach was saying.
[14:41] @Furuya
    I'll be the best pitcher in Japan.
    My goal has not changed.
[14:50] @Furuya
    To do that, I'll start by getting
    my teammates to acknowledge me.
[15:06] @int_Sawamura
    I need to make sure I hit the ball
    with the barrel of the bat.
[15:09] @int_Sawamura
    I'll do a hundred more swings.
[15:11] Okumura
    I like the look in your eyes.
[15:24] Okumura
    So you really want that ace number.
[15:33] @Sawamura
    Every pitcher wants it!
[15:35] @Sawamura
    It shows that everyone believes in you.
[15:39] Okumura
    It's nice to wear your desire
    on your sleeve like that.
[15:42] @Sawamura
    Desire?
[15:43] Okumura
    I always thought that a pitcher who shouts
    on the mound wasn't fit to be the ace.
[15:48] Okumura
    You behavior yesterday was quite good.
[15:51] @Sawamura
    Good?
[15:53] Okumura
    You shouldn't shout so much, though.
[15:57] Okumura
    It's unbecoming, and you look stupid.
[15:59] @Sawamura
    Stupid? Did you say stupid?!
[16:01] Okumura
    It only serves to provoke the other team.
[16:05] Okumura
    A pitcher who's harder to read is
    harder for the batters to deal with.
[16:09] @int_Sawamura
    I-Is he complimenting me or dissing me?
[16:14] @int_Sawamura
    No, wait. If I have to ask myself that,
    he's definitely not complimenting me!
[16:18] Okumura
    And those numbers...
[16:20] Okumura
    Once you master those,
    you'll be a pitcher everyone acknowledges.
[16:31] @Sawamura
    I see, I see!
[16:32] @Sawamura
    So you do rate me!
[16:34] @Sawamura
    That's great! Let's drop everything
    that's happened between us!
[16:38] @Sawamura
    Do you want to catch for me?

    No, I don't.

    Don't bother spouting all that idealistic crap.
[18:35] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    There were rumors going around
[18:37] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    that he was getting player referral fees
    from Kurebayashi and Tsuruta.
[18:41] (Flashback) fb_Player
    He got a lot of money for this move, too.
[18:45] int_Okumura
    If you can't see it through...
[18:48] fb_Okumura
    Don't bother lying to us.
[18:55] int_Okumura
    The man we trusted and followed
    abandoned us without a second thought.
[19:00] (Flashback) fb_Coach
    This is your new coach.
[19:07] int_Okumura
    Not even two months later...
[19:11] int_Okumura
    we saw that man sitting on the visiting
    team's bench like nothing was wrong.
[19:15] int_Okumura
    It showed us fear.
[19:24] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    We'll use the baseball
    he taught us to beat him.
[19:28] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    That's the best way to repay him.
[19:33] (Flashback) fb_Player
    Koshu-kun...
[19:35] (Flashback) fb_Seto
    Repay him?
[19:37] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    I'd rather die than lose today's game.
[19:41] (Flashback) fb_Seto
    Okay, let's do it! We're gonna win!
[19:44] (Flashback) _All
    Yeah!
[19:46] fbint_Okumura
    He knew just how good we were.
[19:49] fbint_Okumura
    Maybe he let his guard down because of that.
[19:53] fbint_Okumura
    But we know how you coach, too!
[20:02] fbint_Okumura
    Our players put everything they had
[20:06] fbint_Okumura
    into using the techniques
    and strategies we'd learned.

[20:10] fbint_Okumura
    We won decisively.
[20:16] (Flashback) fb_Coach
    Well, we lost!
[20:19] (Flashback) fb_Coach
    You kids got us good.
[20:21] (Flashback) fb_Coach
    What happened to you?
    I hardly recognized you out there.
[20:25] (Flashback) fb_Coach
    I liked the look in your eyes.
[20:27] (Flashback) fb_Coach
    I see you're fine without me.
[20:31] (Flashback) fb_Coach
    I'm so glad!
[20:33] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    How does it feel?
[20:36] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    Losing to the unreliable team you coached.
[20:40] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    Did you enjoy that baseball?
[20:44] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    I certainly enjoyed it.
[20:46] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    I enjoyed beating you.
[20:54] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    You got me! I really lost today!
[21:01] fbint_Okumura
    We're not tools to entertain adults.
[21:05] fbint_Okumura
    The field belongs to
    the players battling on it.
[21:10] (Flashback) fb_Seto
    We need to decide on a high school soon.
[21:15] fbint_Okumura
    I want a place where I can focus on baseball.
[21:19] fbint_Okumura
    I want to play in a strong team,
    against strong teams.
[21:24] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    I'm going to Seido.
[21:27] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    I was kind of thinking about going
    to the school that won this game.
[21:31] (Flashback) fb_Seto
    Just kind of?
[21:33] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    They have two interesting pitchers.
[21:40] int_Okumura
    I want to find out...
[21:42] int_Okumura
    if it's really possible to enjoy baseball
    from the bottom of your heart.
[21:48] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Pitchers are troublesome creatures.
[21:54] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    That's what makes this fun.
[22:00] int_Okumura
    I want to find out...
[22:07] int_Okumura
    how far my strength will take me.

    Damn, we need to break this cycle!
[23:52] Kukki
    Seido is incredible.
[23:53] Okumura
    Let's show the second and third-years how
    the guys who stay in the cafeteria play.
[23:56] Kukki
    Even the players not on
    the roster are this good?
[23:59] Okumura
    It's still the third inning.
[24:00] Okumura
    If we keep getting outs and give up
    as few runs as possible,
[24:05] Okumura
    an opportunity will present itself.
[24:08] Asada
    Do these guys think they can beat
    the second and third-years?!
