[00:02] Y3
    Hey.
[00:03] Y3
    Since you're here, you guys
    are pitching against us, right?
[00:08] Y3
    Who's going first?
[00:14] Y3
    Which is it?!
[00:19] Ra
    I'll smash you either way!
[00:23] Y3
    Don't stand in front of me! Move!
[00:25] Y4
    Bow before walking on the field!
[00:27] Sa
    Yo.
[00:28] Sa
    How many wins during the break?
[00:31] Sa
    If we win today, it'll be
    our twentieth consecutive win!
[00:35] Fu
    Are you bragging?
[00:36] Ra
    I got one off each of you last time,
[00:38] Ra
    so I'll get five off each of you today!
[00:40] Y1
    That's a lot of runs!
[00:42] Y2
    You won't get that many chances.
[00:44] Ra
    Let's play!
[00:45] Ra
    Let's play now!
[00:47] Y3
    Calm down!
[00:49] Y3
    Are you a dog or something?
[00:50] Sa
    Well, see you later.
[00:52] Sa
    Let's go all out.
[00:57] Sa
    Furuya!
[00:58] Sa
    How many consecutive wins are we at now?
[01:00] Fu
    I forget.
[01:01] Sa
    This is so frustrating!
[01:05] Ka
    After the fourth inning,
    Furuya will move to left field.
[01:08] Ka
    Then Sawamura and Kawakami
    will pitch, in that order.
[01:11] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[01:16] Ka
    What do you need?
[01:21] Fu
    Can I pitch until the end of this game?
[01:29] Fu
    My assignment is to get the stamina
    to pitch many innings.
[01:33] Fu
    Three innings isn't enough.
[01:43] Oc
    Nine innings by himself.
[01:45] Oc
    How reliable.
[01:47] Oc
    He must have a lot of confidence
    and resolve to say that.
[01:51] Ka
    Yes.
[01:52] Ka
    I'm always surprised by him, as well.
[01:54] Ka
    He has a lot of attachment to the mound.
[02:11] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[02:15] C1
    There it is!
[02:17] C2
    Two strikeouts in a row!
[02:19] C3
    Going all out from the start again!
[02:22] YC
    What a lucky opportunity we have.
[02:26] YC
    They're not holding
    anything back against us.
[02:32] YC
    Be thankful when you're batting, boys.
SIGN    The Ace Title
[04:07] C1
    Get a hit!
[04:08] C2
    Let's get another run!
SIGN    Top of 4th
[04:27] Um
    Foul!
[04:29] S1
    Damn!
[04:33] Y1
    It's not gonna be that easy.
[04:36] C1
    That pitcher throws a lot of breaking balls.
[04:39] C2
    They need to get
    their bunts on the first try.
[04:43] S1
    Don't get cocky, kid.
[04:49] S1
    Shut your mouth!
[04:56] C1
    A double play!
[04:58] C2
    No runs for Seido yet again.
[05:04] Y1
    So lucky!
[05:07] C1
    Looks like they're not meshing well.
[05:10] C2
    They're getting the hits,
[05:12] C2
    but they're always just a little short.
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
[05:14] C1
    I was ready to see a crazy batting game.
[05:17] C1
    Never thought it'd be a pitcher's
    game against Yakushi.
[05:27] S1
    Looks like the only thing
    we have at the moment is him.
[05:41] Um
    Strike!
[05:43] Um
    Batter out!
[05:46] C1
    Sixth strikeout!
[05:48] M1
    Yes!
[05:49] Ka
    Nice one, Furuya!
[05:51] S1
    Nice pitch!
[05:54] YC
    Hey!
[05:55] YC
    How about some runs, Akiba?
[05:58] Y1
    Damn! I can't make contact.
[06:00] Y2
    He throws a bunch of balls,
[06:03] Y2
    and then some unexpected, good strikes.
[06:08] Y2
    There's no real pattern to it.
[06:10] Y2
    Makes it hard to predict his pitch.
[06:35] Ka
    Nice!
[06:36] Ka
    Two outs!
[06:37] C1
    The Yakushi batters don't stand a chance!
[06:41] YC
    This isn't funny at all.
[06:43] Ha
    Furuya-kun's in the zone!
[06:45] M1
    Nice pitch!
[06:47] Y1
    He's keeping his pitches low.
[06:50] Y1
    It's gonna be hard.
[06:52] Y2
    His pitch is a real problem.
[07:04] C1
    Here comes the real challenge.
[07:07] C1
    The only hit he's given up
    is a double by Todoroki.
[07:13] C2
    His hits are definitely scary,
[07:16] C2
    but it's good that there's no runner on base.
[07:20] YC
    Hit his pitch so hard
[07:23] YC
    that he'll be too scared
    to pitch to you next time, Raichi.
[07:32] Mi
    He'll force a hit,
    no matter where you pitch.
[07:37] Mi
    If you want to overpower him,
    you have to throw low.
[08:16] M1
    Way to go!
[08:18] Ka
    He got Todoroki out!
[08:21] C2
    Three for three again this inning!
[08:24] C3
    He overpowered him with his fastball!
[08:34] C1
    What a monster!
[08:36] C2
    How fast was that pitch?
[08:39] C3
    Does anyone have a speed gun?
[08:42] YC
    Sheesh, don't give him confidence.
[08:49] YC
    Well, at least we got to see it
    in a practice game.
[08:55] Mi
    The experience from pitching
    in the tournament is showing.
[08:59] Mi
    He has more confidence in his pitch,
[09:02] Mi
    so he's able to stay more relaxed.
[09:05] Ha
    Wow!
[09:09] Ku
    He's still improving.
[09:18] (Flashback) Fu
    I don't want to feel like that, anymore.
[09:25] (Flashback) Fu
    I'll take
[09:27] (Flashback) Fu
    the mound for myself.
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
[09:49] Ka
    That pitcher throws a lot of forkballs.
[09:53] Ka
    He must have a lot of
    confidence in that pitch.
[09:56] Ka
    I won't deny that it's a good pitch,
[09:58] Ka
    but he's not controlling them all perfectly.
[10:03] Ka
    In other words,
[10:04] Ka
    you guys are missing his easy
    forkballs and getting jammed.
[10:11] Ka
    Swing at the pitch above the waist.
[10:13] Ka
    Don't miss the easy pitch.
[10:15] Ka
    Now go do the batting you've practiced!
[10:19] SS
    Yes, sir!
[10:22] Sa
    All right!
[10:24] Sa
    I'm all warmed up!
[10:26] Sa
    I'm ready to go any time!
[10:33] S1
    Wow! He's so assertive.
[10:35] S1
    I could learn a little from him.
[10:41] Sa
    Furuya, I won't lose to you.
[10:44] Ka
    I think you might be a little too warm.
[10:51] Y1
    I wasn't sure, since he plays outfield,
[10:54] Y1
    but now I'm sure of it.
[10:58] Y1
    He's Hideaki Tojo from the
    Matsukata Senior League Team.
[11:01] Y1
    The one that made it into the semis
    at nationals in junior high.
[11:05] Y2
    Are you serious?
[11:06] Y2
    We're only five months into the school year.
[11:09] Y2
    Don't tell me you've
    given up on pitching already.
[11:13] Y2
    In that case,
[11:16] Y2
    you won't be able to hit
    my pitch full of ambition!
[11:25] Y2
    Bye.
[11:29] Y2
    What?
[11:34] Ka
    Nice!
[11:35] Ka
    A runner with no outs!
[11:38] Ka
    Tojo got another hit!
[11:41] To
    Thank goodness that didn't fly into a glove.
[11:44] Y2
    Damn!
[11:46] Y2
    All right, you've got talent.
[11:55] Y2
    Are you serious?
[11:56] Y2
    Another bunt?
[11:59] Y1
    Yuta, first base!
[12:02] Y2
    Shoot!
[12:06] Um
    Out!
[12:08] Y2
    That was close.
[12:11] C1
    Nice, Kuramochi.
[12:13] C1
    Good bunt.
[12:14] C2
    Almost made it to first, too.
[12:16] C3
    It's bunts like this that'll get us rolling.
[12:28] C1
    Right back at the pitcher!
[12:29] C2
    And the runner goes to third!
[12:31] Sa
    He aimed for the pitcher.
SIGN    whisper
[12:33] Sa
    Harucchi's pretty dark on the inside.
[12:37] Ha
    No, I didn't!
[12:40] C1
    One out and runners on first and third!
[12:43] S1
    Let's go, Zono!
[12:49] SC
    One out and runners on first and third.
[12:53] SC
    Kind of similar to the first inning.
[13:02] To
    They might allow a passed ball.
[13:05] Ha
    Zono-san.
[13:07] Mi
    The first-years got us this opportunity!
[13:09] Mi
    Let's show them what we
    second-years can do, Zono!
[13:13] Ma
    Shut up!
[13:14] Ma
    Don't put pressure on me.
[13:17] C1
    What about a squeeze bunt?
[13:19] C2
    I don't know.
[13:20] C2
    Maezono doesn't really have technique.
[13:23] C3
    He's a three-hole.
[13:24] C3
    He should be aggressive.
[13:35] Ma
    No sign of a squeeze bunt.
[13:37] Ma
    The coach is telling me
    to get the batters home...
[13:42] Ma
    ...with my bat!
[13:51] Um
    Foul!
[13:52] Ma
    Damn.
[13:54] Y1
    He's swinging really late.
[13:57] Y1
    Is he trying to hit to the right?
[14:01] Mi
    Are you serious?
[14:02] Mi
    You're way too tense.
[14:04] Mi
    Don't tell me you actually feel pressure.
[14:08] Mi
    Relax your shoulders!
[14:09] Mi
    You're stiff!
[14:17] Um
    Strike two!
[14:21] C1
    A good strike to the inside!
[14:22] C2
    He's cornered.
[14:27] Y1
    I bet that forkball's crossing your mind.
[14:31] Ma
    If I can't hit in this situation,
[14:33] Ma
    how can I be in the three-hole?
[14:36] (Flashback) Is
    I may be in the three-hole,
[14:40] (Flashback) Is
    but I've never thought
    for a second that I'm good.
[14:43] (Flashback) Is
    How can I get on base?
[14:45] (Flashback) Is
    How can I create an opportunity?
[14:47] (Flashback) Is
    How can I pass the baton?
[14:51] (Flashback) Is
    Every time I stand at the plate,
[14:53] (Flashback) Is
    I'm doing everything I can
    to chase after the ball.
[15:00] Ma
    Everything I can!
[15:14] Um
    Out!
[15:16] Um
    Three outs! Change!
[15:19] C1
    The worst possible outcome!
[15:22] C2
    Maezono isn't looking very bright!
[15:25] S1
    The hit wasn't too bad.
[15:27] S1
    You just got unlucky
    that his glove was there.
[15:31] Ma
    Doesn't matter if it was good or bad.
[15:33] Ma
    Only matters if it was a hit or not.
[15:37] Ku
    Switch gears, Zono!
[15:39] S1
    Stay focused!
[15:41] Sa
    Coach!
[15:42] Sa
    I've been ready to go!
[15:47] Sa
    Can I go out this inning?
SIGN    Top of 6th
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
[16:03] R1
    Huh?
[16:05] R1
    Look at that pitcher.
[16:13] R1
    Crazy.
[16:15] R2
    He's going all out in the bullpen.
[16:31] Ka
    Nice! Our second run!
[16:33] C1
    Miyuki and Furuya.
[16:34] C1
    Two big hits, and we got our second run.
[16:39] C2
    Furuya's doing great at
    both pitching and batting!
[16:44] C2
    What a first-year.
[16:47] C3
    What are you saying?
[16:48] C3
    He's irreplaceable on the team!
[16:56] Sa
    Can I go out this inning?
[17:05] Ka
    No.
SIGN    What?!
[17:06] Sa
    What?!
[17:08] Sa
    B-But!
[17:09] Sa
    It's the fifth inning, and the plan was—
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
[17:11] Ka
    Just be quiet and wait.
[17:13] Sa
    What?!
[17:15] Ka
    Assessing the situation and warming up
[17:18] Ka
    are important jobs for a reliever.
[17:24] Sa
    A-As a reliever?
[17:42] Sa
    I never wanted to be a reliever!
[17:45] Sa
    I wanted to start this game, too!
[17:49] Ka
    Are you crying?
[17:52] Sa
    Damn it!
[17:54] Ka
    You're gonna tire yourself out
    in the bullpen.
[18:00] Um
    Three outs! Change!
[18:03] C1
    No one followed up, and we
    only got one run in the end.
[18:07] C2
    They just left Furuya stranded on second.
[18:10] S1
    Damn!
[18:13] Y1
    Two runs in six innings.
[18:15] Y1
    I'm doing a pretty good job as a starter.
[18:23] YC
    This game's boring.
[18:26] YC
    Sanada, go in next inning.
[18:28] Y1
    What?!
[18:30] YC
    Can you do something
    about this boring game?
[18:34] Y1
    Boring?
[18:39] Ra
    Nice pitch.
[18:41] Sa
    Gotta go for that twentieth consecutive win.
[18:44] Sa
    But first, we need to do
    something about that pitcher.
[18:59] Mi
    Looks like Yakushi's getting impatient.
[19:03] YC
    I'm not really a fan of this play style,
[19:08] YC
    but seriously...
[19:11] YC
    You were just standing
    on the base as a runner.
[19:15] YC
    I can't give you an easy time
    on the mound.
[19:26] C1
    Nice.
[19:27] C1
    He jammed it!
[19:35] Mi
    Furuya's late to the base!
[19:40] Um
    Safe!
[19:48] Sa
    What's wrong, Furuya?
[19:49] Sa
    You look tired!
[19:53] Ka
    So do you.
[19:55] Sa
    You want to switch?
[19:56] Sa
    Yeah?
[19:57] [SONG] On-screen
    Ignored
[20:00] Oc
    Looking tired at the bottom of the sixth.
[20:02] Oc
    It's no surprise, considering
    he's been going all out.
[20:12] Oc
    It's situations like this that really
    show the growth of a pitcher.
[20:24] Um
    Ball four!
[20:30] M1
    He didn't throw any strikes that time!
[20:34] YC
    No outs and runners on first and second.
[20:39] Mi
    Don't worry about the runners!
[20:41] Mi
    Focus on the batter!
[20:49] Mi
    His speed hasn't dropped,
[20:52] Mi
    but his pitch is rising a little bit.
[20:57] Mi
    You were planning to pitch
    all nine innings, right?
[21:02] Mi
    Then you need to be able
    to pitch low with runners on bases.
[21:08] YC
    Bring it around to the cleanup.
[21:11] YC
    Let's leave them in the dust this inning.
[21:42] Fu
    Only this place matters.
[21:52] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[21:54] Fu
    It's my place.
[21:59] Fu
    And only mine.
[23:36] Sa
    No runs conceded in six innings?
[23:38] Sa
    A job as a reliever?
[23:39] Sa
    Give me a break!
[23:40] Sa
    I'll show you!
[23:42] YC
    So...
[23:43] YC
    How many runs will you get
    in the next three innings?
[23:46] YC
    Well?
[23:47] Y1
    Smack it, Raichi!
[23:50] Sa
    I'm not a chicken.
[23:51] Sa
    I'm not running away!
[23:54] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Can't Lose!
SIGN    Can't Lose!
[23:57] Mi
    Focus on the inside!
