[00:05] _Fan
    The third-base runner is heading home!
[00:09] _Fan
    The first-years got one run back!
[00:12] _Fan
    The two of them scored a run!
[00:15] Kukki
    Show us your stuff!
[00:18] @Sawamura
    Yeah!
[00:19] @Sawamura
    Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[00:21] @Sawamura
    The game's just getting started!
[00:23] @Sawamura
    Let's beat them down until
    there's nothing left!
[00:28] Kawashima
    Sawamura...
[00:29] @Sawamura
    We can get another twenty runs!
[00:30] Asada
    Sawamura-senpai...
[00:31] @Sawamura
    Let's drag that pitcher off the mound!
[00:37] Asada
    He wants them to pulverize me!
[00:39] Asada
    And he's got a scary look in his eye!
[00:41] @Sawamura
    Exploding bats!
[00:43] Seto
    He was on our side a little while ago.
[00:47] Asada
    Huh?
[00:47] Seto
    He was watching you from behind
    that pillar like he was really worried.
[00:52] Okumura
    First he's worried about him,
    now he's dissing him.
[00:58] Seto
    I wonder what he's thinking.
[01:00] @Sawamura
    Get ready, Asada!
[01:08] Okumura
    Now the cleanup is up to bat.
[01:14] Okumura
    Let's get one out at a time!
SIGN    First Years
SIGN    Second, Third Years
[03:57] Takashima
    Should the players go see
    the Kanto tournament next month?
[04:00] Takashima
    The two finalists from the Tokyo tournament,
    Inashiro and Ichidai Third High,
[04:04] Takashima
    as well as Yakushi, who were semifinalists
    in the Invitational, will be playing.
[04:10] Ochiai
    Three teams from the western division?
[04:13] Ochiai
    That's an intimidating block.
[04:15] Takashima
    We'll be able to study them in detail.
[04:19] Ochiai
    Ever the optimist.
[04:22] Takashima
    So, how did the intrasquad game go?
[04:26] Takashima
    Did any players look ready
    for the first string?
[04:37] int_Asada
    I ended up allowing three runs.
[04:40] int_Asada
    I don't think I lived up
    to Okumura-kun's expectations.
[04:49] @Kanemaru
    Three hits and four RBI.
[04:51] @Kanemaru
    That's how the cleanup is
    supposed to bat, Takatsu.
SIGN    April 28th
[05:06] _Fan
    He's joining the first string? When?
[05:09] Aso
    Mimura and Kawashima are on
    the first string as of today.
[05:13] Aso
    That second-year, Takatsu, too.
[05:16] Seki
    Ah, those two got back on the roster.
[05:19] Seki
    Takatsu had an impressive performance, too.
[05:23] Aso
    You make it sound like
    it doesn't affect you.
[05:27] Aso
    If three people got spots,
    it means three others will lose them.
[05:33] Aso
    We're in no position to be laughing.
[05:42] _Fan
    Incredible!
[05:44] _Fan
    You feel good just watching him swing.
[05:46] _Fan
    But he has to hit the ball.
[05:53] Aso
    He hit it.
[06:11] Aso
    I've been hearing about how good
    this batch of first-years are,
[06:15] Aso
    but those two are really something else.
[06:18] Aso
    I can see why they immediately became
    part of the roster in the spring.
[06:30] Aso
    Still, we can't let them beat us!
[06:35] Aso
    We just can't!
[06:41] int_Aso
    Man, this sucks.
[06:45] int_Aso
    "The pride of an upperclassman"?
[06:47] int_Aso
    There's no lamer expression out there.
[06:56] int_Aso
    Damn it.
[06:57] int_Aso
    I don't care if you call it
    putting on airs or whatever.
[07:00] int_Aso
    I don't want players younger
    than me taking my number!
[07:04] int_Aso
    I don't want to give it up!
[07:10] int_Aso
    Man, I need to get it together.
[07:14] int_Aso
    If only I were good enough
    not to have to worry about this...
[07:21] _Student
    Hey, Aso, you're blocking the way.
[07:23] _Student
    Could you not stand around the door?
[07:25] Aso
    Oh, sorry!
[07:31] @Kuramochi
    Is that the May game schedule?
[07:35] @Miyuki
    Oh, yeah.
SIGN    Schedule
SIGN    May 3rd (Sat)

SIGN    Hakuryu
SIGN    Ichidai
[07:37] @Miyuki
    Counting the games we've been invited to,
[07:39] @Miyuki
    our schedule for Golden Week is packed.
[07:42] @Miyuki
    Honestly, it's a relief that
    Kawashima is joining us.
[07:46] @Kuramochi
    Planning the pitching rotations
    a month in advance sounds like effort.
[07:52] @Kuramochi
    Plus, you'll be off to play in the Tokyo
    Invitational at the end of May, right?
[07:57] @Kuramochi
    Is that gonna throw off
    your batteries' rhythm?
[08:01] @Miyuki
    No problem. I'll only be gone for three days.
[08:04] @Kuramochi
    You sure about that?
[08:05] @Miyuki
    The Tokyo Invitational itself is new,
    and they're trying some things out this year.
[08:12] @Miyuki
    They're only having it in May because
    they've invited some American teams.
[08:16] @Miyuki
    It'll be in the fall next year.
[08:20] @Miyuki
    Still, there's so much that needs to be done.
[08:23] @Miyuki
    Furuya and Sawamura are both
    starting to have ideas of their own.
[08:27] @Miyuki
    That gives me a chance to teach them
    some things, but there's a balance to keep.
[08:32] @Miyuki
    If I give them too much stuff,
    their heads will freeze up.
[08:36] @Miyuki
    Striking the right balance
    is the hardest part.
[08:39] @Kuramochi
    You sure are talking a lot.
[08:42] @Miyuki
    Am I?
[08:44] @Kuramochi
    Well, I know overthinking things
    doesn't do any good.
[08:48] @Kuramochi
    That's what's up with Furuya, right?
[08:52] @Miyuki
    Yeah.
[08:54] @Miyuki
    The coaches are probably
    pretty worried about it.
[08:59] @Miyuki
    I want to finish developing the numbers
    with Sawamura while I'm still around, too.
[09:03] @Miyuki
    There's a lot to consider.
[09:06] @Miyuki
    Honestly, no amount of time
    would be enough.
[09:13] @Kuramochi
    You seem to be enjoying this.
[09:16] @Miyuki
    No, I'm not!
[09:17] @Kuramochi
    You're talking so much,
    I find that hard to believe!
[09:25] @Furuya
    Are you done?
[09:26] @Sawamura
    Hang on.
[09:27] @Sawamura
    Don't turn the page! I'm still reading!
[09:31] @Furuya
    You're taking too long.
[09:32] @Furuya
    You lost at rock-paper-scissors,
    so just wait until I'm finished.
[09:35] @Sawamura
    No!
[09:37] _Student
    Those two are rivals, right?
[09:40] _Student
    They're getting along?
[09:42] Haruno
    Their pitchers and catchers have been
    getting together often recently.
[09:45] Haruno
    That book is one that
    Miyuki-senpai lent them.
[09:49] @Sawamura
    Okay, I've got it! Give me
    each page after you read it!
[09:52] @Furuya
    Should we really tear this book up?
[09:54] @Sawamura
    Sure, we can tape it back together later.
[09:56] @Sawamura
    Okay, on the count of three...
[09:58] @Sawamura
    One, two...
[09:58] Haruno
    No, don't!
[10:00] Haruno
    You need to take care of books!
[10:01] @Sawamura
    But this is the best way!
[10:07] @int_Kanemaru
    That jerk...
[10:10] (Flashback) @fb_Kanemaru
    You got to show the coach what you can do.
[10:13] (Flashback) @fb_Kanemaru
    You might make first string.
[10:17] (Flashback) fb_Takatsu
    Oh, shut up.
[10:20] (Flashback) fb_Takatsu
    Who are you to talk down to me?
[10:25] (Flashback) fb_Takatsu
    Don't talk like you're better just because
    you made first string before me.
[10:28] (Flashback) @fb_Kanemaru
    What does that mean?!
[10:30] (Flashback) @fb_Kanemaru
    Hey, wait! Takatsu!
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[10:37] (Flashback) @fb_Tojo
    He still doesn't like you.
[10:39] (Flashback) @fb_Kanemaru
    I didn't do anything wrong, though!
[10:40] (Flashback) @fb_Tojo
    Maybe he didn't like how you said it.
[10:43] (Flashback) @fb_Tojo
    Shinji, you tend to upset
    people without realizing it.
[10:46] (Flashback) @fb_Kanemaru
    Wait, wait, wait, what does that mean?!
[10:49] @int_Kanemaru
    Damn it.
[10:49] SFX
    Unease
[10:50] @int_Kanemaru
    I just wanted to congratulate Takatsu
    because I know how hard he's worked!
SIGN    That would be talking down to him.
[10:58] @int_Kanemaru
    Upset people without realizing it?
[11:00] @int_Kanemaru
    Do I really do that, Tojo?
[11:10] _Student
    A guy who makes the first string
    sure does paint a pretty picture.
[11:14] _Student
    It's so inspiring,
    seeing him gaze into the distance!
[11:16] Takatsu
    What do you want? What's—
[11:20] Oka
    Now you can waltz into
    the indoor practice area, Hiroomi.
[11:24] Oka
    Good luck.
[11:34] Takatsu
    Yeah, I'll go stir things up.
[11:43] int_Student
    What kind of books does Okumura-kun read?
[11:46] int_Student
    Is Okumura-kun half-Japanese?
[11:48] int_Student
    Okumura looks like a game character.
[11:51] int_Student
    What kind of food does Okumura-kun like?
[11:59] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    Several of you are not yet physically ready.
[12:03] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    I want you to take your time
    and focus on building a strong base.
[12:06] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    To that end, I'm putting four
    of you on the second string.
[12:12] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    Kukki.
[12:14] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    Kagami.
[12:16] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    Seto.
[12:17] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    Okumura.
[12:19] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    You will practice with the second string
    and gain experience in the practice games.
[12:28] fbint_Mogami
    This isn't right. This isn't right.
[12:29] fbint_Mogami
    It must be a conspiracy.
    How could he not choose me?
[12:31] fbint_Mogami
    This isn't right. This isn't right.
[12:36] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    That is all. Dismissed!
[12:38] (Flashback) fb_All
    Yes, sir!
[12:41] int_Okumura
    Second string?
[12:44] (Flashback) fb_Okumura
    I'm going to make it to the first string.
[12:47] int_Okumura
    Second string!
SIGN    Grrr...
[12:55] int_Okumura
    There's no time.
[12:58] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    I heard you did well in the intrasquad.
[13:00] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Congratulations on making the second string.
[13:03] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    The games will be a hoot!
SIGN    Grrrr...
[13:07] int_Okumura
    If I don't hurry, he'll end up retiring.

    Psychological Attack
    on K
[13:24] @Kataoka
    Understanding how the main
    character in this piece
[13:29] @Kataoka
    interacted with the character named K
[13:31] @Kataoka
    is paramount to understanding it.
[13:37] @Kataoka
    First, the jolt the main character gives K
    could be considered a psychological attack.
[13:38] @int_Sawamura
    Now that I'm a second-year,
    the coach has become one of my teachers.
[13:42] @Kataoka
    Then, K declared that he was an idiot.
[13:43] @int_Sawamura
    If I fall asleep, I'm dead.
[13:53] @Maezono
    Want to do another box?
[13:55] @Kominato
    Sure!
[14:00] Ono
    I brought Yui.
[14:02] @Yui
    Thank you for having me.
[14:05] @Miyuki
    Yeah.
[14:07] Kawakami
    Kuroda, the star pitcher, wrote that book?
[14:08] @Sawamura
    Yes. I'll be done reading it soon.
    Do you want to read it, too?
[14:12] Kawakami
    Yeah, I do.
[14:13] int_Kimura
    There are more guys in the
    Miyuki cram school every day.
[14:19] @Yui
    I didn't know you guys
    were meeting like this.
[14:23] @Yui
    I'm jealous you've been here from the start.
[14:28] @Sawamura
    Hey, Okumura!
[14:30] @Sawamura
    Quit standing in the corner
    and come over here!
[14:33] @Sawamura
    It gets crowded, but it's easy to hear.
[14:35] Kawakami
    Aren't you making yourself at home.
[14:39] Okumura
    I'm fine. I can listen from here.
[14:43] @Sawamura
    Enhanced hearing! You really are part wolf!
[14:46] Okumura
    What are you talking about?
[14:49] @Yui
    Does he always listen from over there?
[14:51] @Furuya
    Yeah, usually.
[14:53] @Yui
    What a waste.
[14:57] @Miyuki
    Okay, let's get started.
[14:59] @Miyuki
    Today, I'll talk about pitching
    with a runner on first base.
[15:02] @Miyuki
    When the other team's bench
    will want to advance the runner,
[15:07] @Miyuki
    and knowing what they're thinking
    based on the count.
[15:11] @Sawamura
    Another tricky topic!
[15:13] @Miyuki
    Obviously, if you fall behind in the count,
[15:16] @Miyuki
    it gives the oppositions more options.
[15:18] @Miyuki
    If the count is in their favor,
    you need to watch out for a hit and run.
[15:22] @Miyuki
    We'll start with one ball.
[15:33] int_Asada
    I need to take a bath... and do laundry...
[15:38] @Kuramochi
    Oh, is Sawamura still in Miyuki's room?
[15:42] Asada
    Y-Yes, sir. I believe so.
[15:45] Asada
    That was close... I almost fell asleep.
[15:50] Asada
    Were you practicing on your own?
[15:52] @Kuramochi
    Yeah. Zono and the others are still at it.
[15:54] @Kuramochi
    I couldn't focus, so I called it a day.
[15:57] @Kuramochi
    You always stay out pretty late.
[16:04] int_Asada
    L-Look at his abs!
[16:09] int_Asada
    How much does he train to look like that?
[16:17] @Kuramochi
    You threw some nice curveballs
    in the intrasquad.
[16:21] @Kuramochi
    Once you get a good fastball,
    you'll be unstoppable.
[16:26] Asada
    You were watching me?
[16:28] @Kuramochi
    I know you wish you'd made the
    second string, but don't rush it.
[16:33] @Kuramochi
    Keep eating and build up some muscle.
[16:40] @Kuramochi
    Practice is going to get harder
    to get us ready for the summer.
[16:48] Kukki
    Why was I picked for the second string?
[16:52] @Tojo
    Aren't you happy?
[16:54] Kukki
    But I gave up eight runs
    in just two innings.
[17:01] @Tojo
    Maybe because you had
    the right mindset for a pitcher.
[17:06] @Tojo
    In fact, a lot of those runs
    came from errors and mistakes,
[17:10] @Tojo
    and all of the fielders were pretty tense.
[17:13] @Tojo
    I didn't even last two innings last year.
[17:17] Kukki
    Huh?
[17:18] @Tojo
    Each out felt like an eternity.
[17:20] @Tojo
    It felt like the inning would never end.
[17:23] Kukki
    Really? Even for you, Tojo-senpai?!
[17:27] @Tojo
    The Matsukata Senior team
    only went to the national semifinals
[17:30] @Tojo
    because of how good the older players were.
[17:33] @Tojo
    I didn't have any misconceptions
    about my own lack of ability.
[17:36] @Tojo
    I felt like I was being forced
    to stand on the mound.
[17:40] @Tojo
    But the people around me
    only saw the results.
[17:45] @Tojo
    They wanted me to pitch like
    a national semifinalist every time.
[17:50] Kukki
    Tojo-senpai...
[17:55] Kukki
    Looking back, I may have been
    a victim of my own success.
[18:05] Kukki
    I pushed myself to pitch
    better than I could...
[18:10] Kukki
    and as a result, I fell apart.
[18:12] Kukki
    I lost sight of who I was.
[18:18] @Tojo
    Compared to me, you were
    a much better pitcher today, Yohei.
[18:23] @Tojo
    Maybe that mental strength was
     what the coach was looking for.
[18:31] @Tojo
    Whether you work hard or not,
SIGN    Devote every moment
[18:36] @Tojo
    someone else gets to play
    in the game instead of you.
[18:41] @Tojo
    That's how this team is.
[18:53] @Tojo
    We'll see which of us will stand on
    the first string's mound first, Yohei.
[19:02] @Tojo
    I still want to be a pitcher.
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[19:13] @Yui
    Good night.
[19:18] @Yui
    Thank you for inviting me.
[19:21] @Furuya
    Miyuki-senpai, please practice
    with me tomorrow.
[19:24] @Sawamura
    Hey, hang on!
[19:26] @Sawamura
    He's catching for me
    in the bullpen tomorrow!
[19:29] @Furuya
    I hadn't heard that.
[19:30] @Sawamura
    Because I didn't say it.
[19:32] @Sawamura
    No cutting in line!
[19:42] @Miyuki
    I feel like taking a few swings. Wanna come?
[19:48] @Miyuki
    I need help practicing, too.
[19:56] @Miyuki
    Did you understand what I explained today?
[20:00] @Furuya
    I understood the main points.
[20:01] @Sawamura
    I understood the nuance of it!
[20:04] @Miyuki
    I see...
[20:06] @Miyuki
    Well, there's no substitute
    for learning through experience.
[20:10] @Sawamura
    We need to learn by doing!
[20:16] @Miyuki
    You both need to practice
    with catchers besides me.
[20:21] @Miyuki
    Preferably a first-year.
[20:27] @Miyuki
    If you don't understand something,
    you can't explain it to someone else.
[20:32] @Miyuki
    It will be a good way to review our meetings,
[20:34] @Miyuki
    and you'll be able to see
    what works best for you.
[20:38] @Sawamura
    Well, I get your point, but...
[20:42] @Sawamura
    You know?
[20:43] @Furuya
    Are you abandoning
    your responsibilities?
[20:46] @Sawamura
    Yeah, that!
[20:47] @Miyuki
    If you don't think you're up to teaching
    a first-year, I won't force you.
[20:52] @Miyuki
    After all, we have some baseball geniuses
    this year, including Yui and Okumura.
[20:58] @Sawamura
    Yes, of course we can!
[20:59] @Sawamura
    We've been exemplary Seido
    players for a whole year now!
[21:03] @Furuya
    You underestimate us!
[21:06] @Miyuki
    Then, get to it.
[21:08] @Miyuki
    Get a deeper knowledge of every play
[21:11] @Miyuki
    and learn why you throw each pitch.
[21:13] @Miyuki
    That's what I need from you.
[21:19] @Sawamura
    Sure, but...
[21:23] @int_Sawamura
    I want you...
[21:25] @Miyuki
    On another note...
[21:28] @Miyuki
    If you want to pitch, come see me.
[21:30] @Miyuki
    I'll do my best to help.
[21:43] @Miyuki
    You guys decide the order.
[21:45] @Miyuki
    I need to stop you two
    from pitching too much.
SIGN    "Out of Time"
[22:17] @Furuya
    "Out of Time."
[23:48] @Sawamura
    I can't beat him by just pitching outside.
[23:51] @Sawamura
    With two outs, you really need to
    focus on the batter all the more.
[23:54] @Sawamura
    Okay, I'll run! I'm gonna run!
[23:57] @Miyuki
    The ace is the one who pitches
    to win, even if he's off his game.
[24:02] @Miyuki
    I was planning to go all-out with the signs
