SIGN    July 25
SIGN    Game 4  - Yakushi vs Chigusa -
SIGN    Yakushi Chigusa
SIGN    Replacing Mino-kun is  Number 6, Sanada-kun.
SIGN    Sanada-kun, pitcher.
[00:22] Ch
    Then, this pitcher threw
    until the seventh inning,
[00:25] Ch
    when the game was called
     with a score of 12-3.
[00:28] Ch
    With the momentum from defeating Ichidai,
[00:31] Ch
    Yakushi made the quarter-final.
[00:35] Ch
    This right-handed pitcher also
    pitched the last two innings
[00:38] Ch
    in the Ichidai game.
[00:40] Ch
    He throws aggressively to the inside
[00:43] Ch
    and has a shootball that comes
    right into your chest.
[00:47] Ch
    Number 18, Shunpei Sanada.
[00:50] Ch
    He's undoubtedly the real ace of this team.
[00:55] Yu
    He throws a shootball?
     That's rare.
[00:57] Is
    Why doesn't he pitch from the start?
[01:00] Is
    Is he injured?
[01:02] Ch
    I'm not sure why, but...
[01:04] Ch
    ...changing the cleanup while saving the ace
     for the end is practically unthinkable.
[01:10] Ch
    If it's all well-thought-out strategy,
[01:13] Ch
    then it's safe to assume they'll
    do something for our game.
[01:18] Ch
    And this batting lineup...
[01:21] Ch
    Number 3, Mishima.
[01:24] Ch
    Number 4, Todoroki.
[01:27] Ch
    Number 5, Akiba.
[01:30] Ch
    These three cleanups have scored
    eight runs with seven hits.
[01:33] Ch
    Just because they're first-years
    doesn't mean they're not formidable.
[01:39] Fu
    First-years...
[01:40] Ka
    The team has stolen bases seven times?
[01:43] Ch
    Yes.
[01:44] Ch
    They don't bunt, so they aggressively run.
[01:48] Ka
    We must be wary of
     their aggressive runners
[01:51] Ka
    while still keeping focus
    on their powerful batters.
[01:55] Ka
    Their lack of bunts actually
    adds pressure to the pitchers.
[02:05] Ka
    Yakushi High School...
[02:07] Ka
    ...may be a much tougher
    opponent than we expected.

[03:47] YC
    All right, boys!
[03:49] YC
    Final round!
[03:54] YC
    If you can't bunt in practice,
    I'm not using you!
[03:59] YC
    So you'd better get cracking!
[04:01] R1
    This is a surprise.
[04:02] R1
    They haven't bunted a single game,
    but they're practicing bunts.
[04:07] YC
    Hey, don't underestimate baseball, tall girl.
[04:11] R1
    Tall?
[04:12] YC
    "I could bunt in my sleep."
[04:14] YC
    Having that confidence lets
    them swing all they want.
[04:18] YC
    In the end, baseball depends on the players.
[04:21] YC
    Those who want to play
[04:23] YC
    just need to do whatever
    they enjoy doing out there.
[04:27] YC
    Be sincere and strict in practice!
[04:30] YC
    Enjoy baseball to the fullest in games!
[04:33] YC
    That's my motto.
[04:35] YC
    Got it?
[04:36] R1
    I see...
[04:37] R2
    At first, their baseball seems
    completely unreasonable,
[04:40] R2
    but he has his own strong
    principles toward baseball.
[04:45] R2
    Coach Todoroki, you played amateur
    baseball until you were forty, correct?
[04:50] YC
    Yeah.
[04:51] YC
    I'm surprised you knew.
[04:52] R2
    Why did such an amazing player
    like yourself quit your job
[04:57] R2
    and remain unemployed
    after you retired from baseball?
[04:59] YC
    You did too much research!
[05:01] YC
    My whole life,
     all I had done was baseball.
[05:04] YC
    So I was teaching baseball
    to kids by the river.
[05:07] YC
    I lost all my money,
    and my wife left me because of that.
[05:11] YC
    I'm so glad this school found me!
[05:16] R1
    H-He's a good-for-nothing!
[05:17] R1
    He's just a baseball freak!
[05:20] R2
    Oh, I don't see Raichi-kun around.
[05:24] YC
    Yeah, he's getting nutrients.
[05:26] R1
    He's eating?
[05:29] YC
    Yeah, something like that.
[05:31] YC
    Since he was little,
    he's always felt hungry.
[05:34] R2
    Have you been teaching him
    baseball since he was little?
[05:42] YC
    The only thing I did was give him that bat.
[05:45] R1
    This?
[05:47] YC
    You can hold it, tall girl.
SIGN    Money Tree
[05:51] R1
    "Money Tree"?
[05:58] R1
    How heavy is this bat?
[06:00] R1
    This is heavier than the common heavy bats.
[06:03] YC
    It's the bat I used when I was training.
SIGN    Money Tree
[06:07] R1
    Raichi-kun's been swinging
    this bat every day?
[06:11] YC
    I didn't have money to send him
     to little or senior league,
[06:14] YC
    and his junior high school
    didn't have a baseball team.
[06:23] (Flashback) YC
    That's no good.
[06:25] (Flashback) YC
    You're just swinging the bat.
[06:27] (Flashback) YC
    I can't see the pitch you're hitting.
[06:29] (Flashback) YC
    That won't get you money for food.
[06:33] Ra
    Banana, omelet...
[06:37] (Flashback) YC
    Raichi, do you know what
    a 160 km/h pitch feels like?
[06:41] (Flashback) Ra
    Rice ball, banana...
[06:44] (Flashback) YC
    It's super fast.
[06:46] (Flashback) YC
    Like a bullet train.
[06:54] (Flashback) YC
    The swing speed to hit
    such a ball is as fast as sound.
[06:59] (Flashback) YC
    Maybe even light speed.
[07:01] (Flashback) Ra
    Sound? Light?
[07:14] YC
    The only thing I could
    give him without a job
[07:17] YC
    was that bat and the strongest
    pitchers in his imagination.
[07:23] YC
    Still, he continued to swing the bat.
[07:27] YC
    Because he's an idiot.
[07:29] YC
    There's no limit to imagination.
[07:32] YC
    What he got out of that was
    the ultimate image training.
[07:37] YC
    A 160 km/h fastball.
[07:40] YC
    A slider that breaks right in front of you.
[07:42] YC
    A cutter.
[07:44] YC
    A knuckleball that falls like a leaf.
[07:52] YC
    He's been swinging every day without rest
[07:56] YC
    against the monstrous pitchers
    he imagined in his head.
[08:02] YC
    His hunger isn't like
    your average little boy.
[08:07] YC
    He'll make money.
[08:09] YC
    Unlike me, he'll make millions
    with just a single bat.
[08:17] Y1
    These guys are first-years like us.
[08:20] Y2
    This Furuya guy throws crazy fast.
[08:23] Y1
    They also have a sidearm
    and a right-handed ace.
[08:27] Y2
    It's annoying how they're all
    different types of pitchers.
[08:33] Sa
    What? You guys are still watching that?
[08:37] Y1
    Sanada-senpai.
[08:38] Y1
    Raichi's dad told us to study it.
[08:42] Sa
    The coach did?
[08:44] Sa
    It's funny how thoroughly
     he makes us do this.
[08:48] Sa
    You guys were watching
    Manaka-san's video to hell, too.
[08:52] Ra
    His pitch was amazing and just as I imagined.
[08:58] Sa
    Really...
[08:59] Sa
    And how about Seido?
[09:01] Sa
    You got them in your head yet?
[09:05] Ra
    These two are interesting!
[09:10] Sa
    Two?
[09:11] Sa
    I can understand Furuya,
[09:13] Sa
    but this southpaw, too?
[09:15] Ra
    I can't quite put a finger
    on it from the video,
[09:19] Ra
    but there's something
    the video can't capture.
[09:23] Ra
    Seido High School!
[09:25] Ra
    I want to play them now!
    Like, right now!
[09:28] Sa
    Sheesh.
[09:30] Sa
    I don't know anyone who's
    more hungry for baseball.
[09:36] R1
    Could it be that you didn't work
    to nurture Raichi-kun's hunger?
[09:42] YC
    Yeah!
SIGN    July 26 - Day Before Quarter-Final -
[09:57] Sa
    Yeah!
[09:59] Ka
    He seems to be in good form.
[10:02] Ka
    He must've gained confidence
    in the Akikawa game.
[10:05] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[10:07] Ka
    Shut up!
[10:09] Ch
    You want to call it a day, Sawamura?

    No, please stick with me a little longer!
[10:14] Ka
    Hey, you have a game tomorrow!
[10:16] Sa
    I still mess up my control sometimes,
[10:18] Sa
    and I feel like I can't beat him
     without throwing perfectly.
[10:24] Ka
    It's the quarter-final!
[10:26] Ka
    Who says you're gonna throw?
[10:28] Sa
    If I say I will, I will!
[10:39] Mi
    Well, it's not bad.
[10:41] Re
    A slide step to counter the steals?
[10:43] Mi
    I figured Yakushi would
    like to play mind games.
[10:47] Re
    This form might help him stay relaxed.
[10:52] Mi
    His speed drops a little,
    but his control is good.
[10:56] Mi
    Might turn out to be useful.
[10:59] Fu
    I have to work on my stamina roll.
[11:06] Ka
    Sorry!
[11:08] Ka
    Don't worry about making
    it bounce, Kawakami!
[11:11] Ka
    If you can keep the balls low,
    you can avoid long hits.
[11:15] Ka
    Okay.
[11:16] Ot
    Kawakami's the best
    at keeping the balls low!
[11:20] Ot
    Right, Ono?
[11:21] On
    Right...
[11:23] Re
    I'm a little worried about
    Furuya-kun's stamina,

    pretty good condition.
[11:28] Ot
    Indeed.
[11:30] Re
    Now we just need...
[11:33] Ka
    Still off.
[11:35] Ta
    Yes, sir.
[11:36] Re
    I can see Tanba-kun really wants it,
[11:38] Re
    but he's still not in his best condition.
[11:44] Re
    His comeback will be big for the team.

    Maybe the only way to get his senses back
    is to play in real games.

    Boss, I can start, if you'd like!
[12:45] Ka
    No.
[12:46] Ka
    And don't call me "boss."
[12:48] Mi
    A relay of three innings per pitcher.
[12:52] Mi
    They've been pitching
    the past three games,
[12:55] Mi
    so if we can aggressively
    change the pitchers,
[12:58] Mi
    then we can prevent the enemy batters
    from getting used to our pitchers.
[13:01] Mi
    Though that means they have
    to throw well in the first place.
[13:07] Ot
    What about Tanba, Coach?
[13:09] Ot
    You didn't call him here.
[13:11] Ka

[13:17] Ot
    N-No!

    It's no surprise that people want to watch.
