[00:01] Mi
    I think...
[00:02] Mi
    ...they're going to start focusing
    on a certain pitch soon.
[00:05] Mi
    I'll start asking for forkballs next inning.
[00:11] Ta
    Right off the bat?
[00:13] Ta
    You little!
[00:17] S1
    Yes! A fastball!
[00:22] S1
    It dropped?
[00:27] Mi
    Following the same
    path as a fastball,
[00:29] Mi
    it drops right in front of
    the batter like a sinker.
[00:33] Mi
    To be honest,
[00:34] Mi
    I didn't think it would be this amazing
    until I caught it personally,
[00:38] Mi
    Tanba-san.
SIGN    Emergency
[02:14] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[02:18] Yu
    Nice pitch!
[02:20] Ma
    Nice pitch!
[02:21] Ta
    I can do this.
[02:24] Ta
    My pitching...
[02:26] Ta
    ...is good.
[02:29] Mi
    In terms of speed and angle,
[02:31] Mi
    it was the best I could've imagined.
[02:33] Mi
    Now, it's much easier to call
    plays in the second half,
[02:37] Mi
    Tanba-san.
[02:39] Sa
    Wow!
[02:41] Fu
    I want to throw.
[02:43] Ot
    Tanba's really looking well!
[02:45] Ot
    He's doing well with Miyuki, too!
[02:48] Ch
    Looks like he's prepared
     well for the summer.
[02:52] Ch
    It's a huge improvement
    over his forkball I know.
[02:56] Re
    True, he's doing well so far.
[02:59] Re
    But...
SIGN    Yokohama
    Seido
[03:01] Re
    Tanba-kun's biggest weakness
    is his fragility after he gives away a hit.
[03:07] Re
    The question is whether
    or not he can conquer it.
SIGN    Seido Shuhoku
[03:17] Ta
    Miyuki.
[03:20] Ta
    Let's focus on throwing more
    forkballs the last three innings.
[03:26] Mi
    I think that pitch alone
    was effective enough.
[03:30] Mi
    Do we really need to throw
    more with Inashiro watching?
[03:36] Mi
    His pitch slows down in the second half.
[03:39] Mi
    I don't want to use the forkball too much,
[03:41] Mi
    as it requires a lot of grip strength.
[03:44] Mi
    We should use the forkball to scare them,
[03:46] Mi
    but I think it's best
    to center the plays
[03:49] Mi
    around your fastball and curveball.
[03:51] Ta
    No, I want to throw forkballs.
[03:54] Ta
    I don't have a lot of opportunities
    left to throw them in a real game.
[04:04] Ku
    Oh, come on.
[04:05] Ku
    I thought they were doing well,
[04:07] Ku
    but it looks like they're
    not on the same page at all.
[04:12] Ka
    Tanba.
[04:14] Ka
    Are you saying that as
    a pitcher representing the team?
[04:18] Ka
    Or are you saying that for your
    own good as a baseball player?
[04:25] Ka
    Which is it?
[04:26] Ka
    Tell me.
[04:30] Ka
    If...
[04:31] Ka
    ...you're saying it for your own good,
[04:35] Ka
    then I can't give you the ace number.
[04:43] Ot
    But, Coach!
[04:50] Ta
    I think it's both.
[04:52] Ot
    Hey, Tanba!
[04:53] Ot
    What are you saying?
[04:54] Ta
    I know...
[04:56] Ta
    I tend to put myself
    down in the second half,
[05:00] Ta
    and I understand that Miyuki
    is thinking about me.
[05:06] Ta
    But if I don't conquer my weakness
    with my own strength,
[05:10] Ta
    I can't stand on the mound with confidence.
[05:14] Ta
    It is in order to become the true ace.
[05:17] Ta
    That is my honest answer.
[05:28] Yu
    Tanba.
[05:30] Ku
    Tanba-san.
[05:35] Mi
    Very well.
[05:37] Mi
    If that's the case,
[05:39] Mi
    I'm with you all the way
    until the very end.
[05:42] Mi
    I can't ignore a pitcher's opinion...
[05:45] Mi
    ...when it's this strong.
[05:47] Is
    Where did you learn
    to talk big like that?
[05:50] Is
    If you give up a run now,
[05:52] Is
    you'd better take responsibility.
[05:53] Is
    You'll shave your head all the way!
[05:57] Ry
    Oh, that's good.
[05:58] Ry
    I'm in.
[05:59] Yu
    I'm in.
[06:01] Ku
    Or you could grow
    your hair long.
[06:04] Ot
    Hey! Knock it off!
[06:06] Ch
    You give up a run, you shave your head.
[06:08] Ch
    You lose two runs,
    you shave your eyebrows, too.
[06:12] Ch
    I'll write it down.
[06:14] Ot
    Chris! Not you, too!
[06:18] Ku
    Chris-senpai, you're awesome!
[06:20] Ch
    Three runs, and you
    grow your hair long?
[06:23] Re
    Tanba-kun...
[06:25] Re
    was tall when he joined,
[06:27] Re
    and we had high hopes
    for him as a pitcher.
[06:30] Re
    But he was extremely shy,
[06:32] Re
    and couldn't even look us
     in the eyes sometimes.
[06:36] Re
    But look at him now.
[06:37] Ta
    I'm always ready, sir.
[06:40] Re
    With summer right around the corner,
[06:42] Re
    it looks like he'll be ready just in time.
[06:51] Sa
    It's not about proving myself.
[06:55] Sa
    The one everyone recognizes...
[06:58] Sa
    ...is the ace.
[07:00] Fu
    Trust...
[07:07] Um
    Next batter!
[07:08] Um
    Hurry up, please.
[07:10] Sa
    Oh, Tanba-senpai's up next.
[07:12] Ot
    We're sorry.
[07:13] Ot
    He'll be there in a second.
[07:15] Sa
    When did Shirasu-senpai get on base?
[07:19] Sh
    You weren't watching?
[07:20] Sa
    And Sakai-senpai is back in the dugout.
[07:22] Sa
    Shut up!
[07:24] Sa
    I'm sorry I hit straight to third base.
[07:26] Is
    Tanba!
[07:27] Is
    Hit it!
[07:28] Is
    But don't try too hard!
[07:30] Ry
    It'll affect your pitching!
[07:32] Ta
    Damn.
[07:33] Ta
    Those guys don't think I'll hit.
[07:39] Ta
    I want to play baseball
    for as long as possible.
[07:43] Ta
    I want to win...
[07:45] Ta
    ...as many times as possible.
[07:49] Ta
    I don't want to see
    the days I devoted to baseball
[07:52] Ta
    go down the drain.
[07:55] Ta
    Everything is about getting to the stage.
[07:59] Ta
    We're definitely going...
[08:03] Ta
    ...to nationals.
[08:05] Ku
    Tanba-san's determined to hit.
[08:08] Mi
    Though I hope he strikes out,
    so it won't affect his pitching.
[08:17] S1
    Why?
[08:19] S1
    What makes us so different from them?
SIGN    Seido Shuhoku
[08:25] S1
    We've been working hard
    for the past three years, too.
[08:30] S1
    Damn it.
[08:32] S1
    Damn it!
[08:35] S1
    You've gotta be
    kidding me! Damn it!
[08:38] S1
    You've gotta be—
[08:41] S1
    Crap.
[08:42] S1
    The ball slipped out
    because of the sweat.
[09:18] C1
    Hey, didn't that hit his face?
[09:20] C2
    Right in the face as he was about to swing.
[09:23] C3
    That fall didn't look very good.
[09:25] Re
    Director Ota, get the car!
[09:27] Ot
    Right away.
[09:28] Ka
    Don't move, Tanba.
[09:29] Ta
    I'm fine.
[09:31] Ta
    I can stand.
[09:32] Ka
    Just stay put.
[09:33] Ka
    Where's the stretcher?
[09:36] C1
    It was Chris last year.
[09:38] C1
    This year, it's Tanba.
[09:40] C2
    Not even luck is on Seido's side.
[09:43] SC
    I am terribly sorry.
[09:46] SC
    Especially right before summer.
[09:51] Ka
    It was an accident
    that happened during a game.
[09:54] Ka
    It's not your pitcher's fault.
[09:58] Ka
    However, would it be okay...
[10:01] Ka
    ...if we ended this game here?
[10:04] SC
    Yes, that's perfectly fine.
[10:06] Ka
    I'm sorry about this after
    you came all this way.
[10:13] IC
    Hey, let's get ready to leave.
[10:15] I1
    Y-Yes, sir.
[10:16] Na
    I feel really bad for them,
[10:19] Na
    but I didn't get to see Furuya pitch.
[10:23] Ha
    Tanba.
[10:26] IC
    With the summer right
    around the corner,
[10:28] IC
    I'm sure this accident will
    heavily influence the team.
[10:34] IC
    I'm truly disappointed, Kataoka-san.
[10:38] IC
    I wanted to play you in the
    prelims in your best condition.
[11:01] Ma
    The tournament drawings
    are today, right?
[11:03] Sa
    Yeah.
[11:04] Sa
    Tetsu and the director are going.
[11:07] Is
    I see.
[11:09] Is
    It's really going to start.
[11:12] Is
    This is our last summer...
SIGN    Faculty Office
[11:20] Re
    I'm sure everyone's already heard
    about Tanba-kun's condition.
[11:24] Re
    People are more shaken up
     than I'd imagined.
[11:27] Re
    If we don't get them to switch gears,
    they may not be able to recover.
[11:32] Ot
    I've just returned, Coach.
[11:36] Ot
    The brackets for the summer are set.
[11:45] Sa
    There are so many schools.
[11:47] Ha
    Tokyo's split up into east and west,
    so it's not that bad.
[11:52] Ha
    There are much more competitive
    districts in the nation.
[11:56] Fu
    Five games to get to the final.
[11:59] P1
    We won't play Inashiro until the final.
[12:02] P2
    We'll play Ichidai in the quarter-final.
[12:06] Ku
    Are the upperclassmen
    going to be okay?
[12:09] Ku
    They've looked completely
    defeated since yesterday.
[12:12] Mi
    Considering they've been training
    together all these years,
[12:15] Mi
    what happened yesterday
    must've really hit them hard.
[12:18] Mi
    It had to happen...
[12:20] Mi
    ...when we were supposed to heighten
    our spirits for the summer.
[12:27] Ka
    I'm sure you've all heard,
[12:29] Ka
    but Tanba's chin was cracked
     by the accident yesterday.
[12:34] Ka
    Luckily, it's not a complete fracture,
[12:36] Ka
    and his brain was not affected, either.
[12:39] Ka
    But he might not make it to the prelims.
[12:46] Ka
    To be honest, I still feel unsettled.
[12:51] Ka
    He was finally starting
    to recognize his position as the ace,
[12:54] Ka
    so I'm sure he's feeling
    upset about it as well.
[13:00] Ka
    This is my sincere opinion
    as the coach of this team,
[13:03] Ka
    and the decision was not influenced
    by my personal emotions.
[13:07] Ka
    I am giving the ace number to Tanba.
[13:10] Ka
    Until he comes back,
[13:12] Ka
    we will fight the battles as one team!
[13:18] Ka
    With that in mind,
    Kawakami is a must, but...
[13:21] Ka
    ...Furuya and Sawamura.
[13:24] Ka
    You two first-years will be
    playing more frequently, as well.
[13:30] Ka
    When that happens, I want the
    third-years to take the reins,
[13:32] Ka
    and help support these two.
[13:41] Ka
    Let's do this.
[13:42] Ka
    Yes, sir!
[13:46] Re
    Who knows if Tanba-kun can
    come back in his best state.
[13:52] Re
    But this type of accident
[13:55] Re
    can sometimes help unite the team.
[14:00] Re
    If we can achieve that...
[14:03] Fu
    I need...
[14:05] Fu
    ...stamina roll.
[14:07] Sa
    I'll... get to play?
[14:11] Sa
    But...
[14:16] Sa
    Am I even ready...
[14:18] Sa
    ...to play in his stead?
[14:22] Ch
    Looks like you know
    what you're missing.
[14:27] Ch
    Then it should be fine.
[14:30] Ch
    Miyuki.
[14:33] Ch
    I think you understand,
    but we don't have time.
[14:36] Ch
    We have to focus on training
    their fielding and ball control.
[14:42] Mi
    Indeed.
[14:45] Ch
    Let's get them ready by summer.
[14:53] Ch
    It's simple,
[14:55] Ch
    but it's the best way to get the
    feeling on your fingertips down.
[14:58] Ch
    From now on,
[15:00] Ch
    do this whenever you have time.
[15:01] Sa
    Yes, sir.
SIGN    Pivot-Leg Jumps
[15:09] Ch
    One-legged jumps to strengthen
    your pivoting leg.
[15:12] Ch
    Jump straight up and
    pause at the landing.
[15:14] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[15:16] Sa
    Can we really be doing something
    so basic when we don't have time?
[15:21] Fu
    I want to pitch more.
SIGN    Lunge & Turn
[15:26] Ch
    Lunge and turn.
[15:27] Ch
    Push the ground with your
    foot and turn your hips.
[15:31] Ch
    This is a necessary
    action in pitching.
[15:33] Sa
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    Thera-Band Training
SIGN    Dumbbell Training
SIGN    Menko Exercise
[15:48] Ch
    Okay.
[15:49] Ch
    Next, go join situational
    field practice.
[15:53] Ch
    We'll have a thorough
    meeting on fielding.
[15:56] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[15:58] Fu
    Thorough...
[16:00] Ch
    We don't have time,
    but don't rush.
[16:07] Ch
    You lack many things both
    physically and technically.
[16:12] Ch
    But rushing won't help
    you attain them sooner.
[16:16] Ch
    First, you recover
    from the camp.
[16:19] Ch
    Then we'll selectively strengthen
    what you need for pitching.
[16:24] Ch
    Now, go practice your fielding
    like it's a real game.
[16:29] Sa
    Chris-senpai.
[16:33] Sa
    That's right.
[16:35] Sa
    He always...
[16:36] Sa
    ...coaches in our best interest.
[16:40] Sa
    We just need to trust
    him and follow him.
[16:43] Sa
    Yes, sir, Chris-senpai!
[16:45] Fu
    Yes, sir.
[16:46] Ch
    Don't forget to study, too.
[16:49] Ch
    Finals are coming up.
[16:56] Sa
    Substitute x = y, and...
[16:59] Sa
    I'm lost.
[17:00] Sa
    I don't know anything.
[17:04] Ka
    If you fail, you have to take the makeup.
[17:06] Ka
    The more makeups you need,
    the less practice you get,
[17:10] Ka
    and you won't get to play in the games.
[17:12] Sa
    A-Are you serious?
SIGN    The other classroom
[17:15] Ha
    Stop.
[17:16] Ha
    Learn to face reality.
[17:18] Sa
    Ka-Kanemaru!
[17:20] Sa
    Help me out here!
[17:22] Sa
    My head's already full from
    Chris-senpai's baseball lessons!
[17:27] Ho
    It's your fault for always
    slacking on schoolwork!
[17:31] Ka
    I guess I could help you
    out with your studies.
[17:36] Ka
    Chris-senpai asked
    me to help, too.
[17:40] Ka
    And I hate to admit it,
[17:42] Ka
    but he's...
[17:44] Ka
    ...really doing his best.
[17:48] Ka
    We don't have much
    time until summer.
[17:50] Ka
    And you really might have
    to play in the games.
[17:54] Ka
    I don't care if you just
    cram it or whatever,
[17:56] Ka
    but stuff everything into your head!
[18:02] Ho
    Kanemaru.
[18:04] Ka
    You're not just
    representing the team.
[18:09] Ka
    You're representing all
    us first-years, too.
[18:27] Re
    The team, as a whole,
    isn't shouting very much.
[18:30] Re
    Perhaps they haven't
    fully switched gears yet.
[18:38] Ka
    Get Yuki and Isashiki.
[18:46] Ka
    Do you...
[18:47] Ka
    ...understand what the team's situation is?
[18:51] Yu
    Yes.
[18:52] Is
    Yes.
[18:54] Ka
    Then...
[18:56] Ka
    ...why aren't you two
    the first ones shouting?
[19:00] Ka
    You're the top players of the team.
[19:08] Ka
    With Tanba's incident,
[19:10] Ka
    the entire team is feeling down.
[19:14] Ka
    Shouldn't you third-years be
    the ones firing up the team?
[19:25] Ka
    Yuki.
[19:26] Ka
    Isashiki.
[19:28] Ka
    You two...
[19:30] Ka
    ...should do pitching practice in the
    bullpen every day starting today.
[19:40] Ka
    In reality,
[19:41] Ka
    after the camp, we should be switching
    to a lighter training menu.
[19:46] Ka
    But in order to win
    with this current team,
[19:49] Ka
    we're going to need
    your strength even more.
[19:53] Ka
    I know I'm putting a lot on your
    plates with more practice as well,
[19:58] Ka
    but no one else can do it.
[20:06] Fu
    No pitching practice today either...
[20:08] Sa
    I'm allowed to go running, right?
[20:18] Is
    How's that, Miyuki?
[20:20] Is
    Like my bazooka ball?
[20:24] Mi
    They're all balls, sir.
[20:26] Is
    What?
[20:27] Yu
    Ironic that you throw
    strikes from the outfield.
[20:31] Yu
    Move aside, Jun.
[20:33] Yu
    This is how you throw a strike.
[20:36] Is
    You throw like a fielder, too.
[20:39] Mi
    Jun-san's looking lively again.
[20:43] Mi
    So that's what the coach was going for.
[20:47] Mi
    They both have a high
    sense of responsibility.
[20:50] Mi
    If the coach says it's for the team,
[20:52] Mi
    of course, they wouldn't
    stay feeling down.
[20:55] Is
    What's wrong, Kawakami?
[20:56] Is
    If you're not gonna
    throw, let's switch!
[20:59] Ka
    I will!
[21:01] Ka
    Miyauchi-senpai, I'm going.
[21:03] Mi
    Just hurry up and throw!
[21:05] Mi
    And...
[21:07] Mi
    to provoke the actual pitchers.
[21:14] Ch
    What's wrong?
[21:16] Sa
    Yuki-senpai and
    Isashiki-senpai are...
[21:19] Ch
    No matter what you say,
    you're not pitching today.
[21:23] Ch
    More importantly, we need to reflect
    on your field practice today.
[21:30] Ch
    Tanba.
[21:32] Ta
    You'd better come back
    to the first-string.
[21:39] Ch
    This time, we'll be the ones waiting.
[21:43] Ch
    For our ace...
[21:45] Ch
    ...to come back.
[21:52] Ka
    You're representing all
    us first-years, too.
[21:56] Sa
    I don't have a choice.
[21:59] Sa
