[00:02] Um
Ball four!
[00:03] S1
Bases loaded now.
[00:05] S1
We still have the bottom of the ninth,
[00:07] S1
but this is a huge chance to score.
[00:10] S2
Roll it!
[00:11] S2
Just roll the ball!
[00:13] S3
Let's do this, Maezono!
[00:16] TC
End it here cleanly, boys.
[00:19] Ka
Don't lose confidence, Maezono.
[00:21] Ka
You've been swinging well all game.
[00:24] Ka
Wait for the pitch to come to you,
then smack it hard.
[00:28] Ka
Just go do that this inning, too.
[00:33] S1
From zero to hero!
[00:35] S2
The stage is set for you, buddy!
[00:39] Mi
If I was the catcher,
[00:41] Mi
I'd hate the batters
who can judge the low balls.
[00:47] Mi
The low balls are balls for a reason.
[00:50] Mi
Just swing at the pitch you can hit.
[00:53] Ma
Yeah.
SIGN Scenario
[02:26] SS
Let's hit a big one here, Maezono!
[02:31] R1
Despite the rain,
[02:32] SS
If you don't get a hit, who else will?
[02:34] R1
they've played a very close
and exciting game.
[02:38] R2
Yeah.
[02:39] R2
Two outs and bases loaded
at the bottom of the eighth.
[02:42] R2
This is the most important part of the game.
[02:46] C1
Can Maezono get a big one
with his heavy swing?
[02:50] C1
Or will Mukai ot Teito
get the last laugh again?
[02:57] C1
And here comes the first pitch.
[03:03] Um
Ball.
[03:06] C2
Maezono won that one.
[03:08] C3
Wasn't that a screwball?
[03:10] C3
Are they not afraid of a passed ball?
[03:12] C4
He must have a lot of confidence
in Mukai's control.
[03:16] In
The strike zone has no limit.
[03:19] In
Use it openly, Taiyo.
[03:21] Ta
I won't even let him touch my pitch.
[03:24] Ma
I wait and then swing hard.
[03:28] Ma
Swing hard.
[03:30] Ta
Just you try and touch it.
[03:32] Ma
I'll smack it hard.
[03:35] C1
A slider for the second pitch!
[03:38] C2
A strike on the way outside.
[03:40] T1
Nice pitch, Taiyo!
[03:42] T2
The batter can't react!
[03:44] S1
Nothing to worry about!
[03:45] S1
Let's stay focused!
[03:53] C1
And pitch three?
[03:55] C1
A fastball!
[03:57] T1
That's it!
[03:58] T2
Nice pitch, Taiyo!
[04:00] Ot
Come on, Maezono!
[04:03] Sa
That's the timing!
[04:04] Ka
Nice swing!
[04:06] R1
The low and outside.
[04:08] R1
Is he going for a fastball?
[04:10] R2
Yeah.
[04:12] R2
Maezono-kun swung for it.
[04:14] R2
He's ready for it.
[04:16] R2
But the count's 1-2 now.
[04:19] R2
He's cornered.
[04:26] R2
Will Mukai-kun come to end it
with the fourth pitch?
[04:31] Mi
He's gonna pitch a low one here.
[04:36] Um
Ball!
[04:37] C1
Hey, he saw that one coming!
[04:40] Sa
That's how you do it!
[04:43] C1
He's only pitching to the outside.
[04:46] C2
The count's 2-2 now.
[04:48] C2
What's next?
[04:50] C2
I doubt they want to go to 3-2.
[04:57] Ta
It's game over...
[04:59] Ta
...with this!
[05:15] C1
He tapped it!
[05:16] C2
Barely a foul!
[05:20] S1
That was close!
[05:21] S2
That was just barely in the zone!
[05:23] S2
If he hadn't swung,
he would've been struck out!
[05:26] Ta
Damn.
[05:28] Ta
Don't be a pain.
[05:29] Ta
You're supposed to be easy.
[05:34] R1
I'm getting nervous from just watching.
[05:37] R2
I'm sure they wanted to
finish with that pitch.
[05:41] R2
The count's 2-2.
[05:43] R2
They've only pitched outside so far.
[05:46] R2
They have an extra pitch,
so pitching inside here could be good.
[05:51] R2
But they'd have to be careful
not to hit the batter.
[05:56] R2
It's something they couldn't pitch
without confidence and trust.
[06:06] R2
No hesitation?
[06:08] In
This pitch will only be a foul.
[06:12] In
Use this to distract him.
[06:14] Ta
Then finish him with an outside.
[06:18] R2
What a fearsome battery.
[06:21] R2
They can read each other's minds.
[06:24] R2
They both see the same picture
of getting the out.
[06:27] Ka
Swing like you practice.
[06:30] Mi
Be confident.
[06:32] Ma
Wait, then swing hard.
[06:36] Ta
No matter how much you struggle,
[06:38] Ta
it's game over with the next pitch.
[06:42] Ma
Swing hard!
[06:43] Ta
I can already see...
[06:48] Ta
...the end!
[07:12] Ta
Wait a minute.
[07:14] Ta
That wasn't the finishing pitch.
[07:18] In
It's fine.
[07:20] In
It's a foul.
[07:23] S1
Right up left field!
[07:28] S2
Kuramochi's heading for home!
[07:30] Sa
Let's go!
[07:31] S1
They're taking time with the ball!
[07:33] Sa
Come home, Harucchi!
[07:34] Sa
Run!
[07:36] S1
Three runs!
[07:39] S2
Nice one, Zono!
[07:40] S3
Bringing all the runners home!
[07:42] S2
Zono's going for third!
[07:46] Um
Out!
[07:52] Mi
You got way too excited!
[07:54] Ka
You were tripping!
[07:56] Ma
Sorry.
[07:58] C1
Seido got three runs this inning.
[08:01] C2
They turned the game around at the end.
[08:04] R1
Maezono-kun hit that difficult
inside pitch very cleanly.
[08:09] R2
He was focused on hitting toward the right.
[08:12] R2
That's why it didn't go foul.
[08:15] R2
In any case,
[08:17] R2
that inside was a little
lenient for Mukai-kun.
[08:21] T1
T-Taiyo...
[08:24] R2
One bad pitch ruins a game of great pitches.
[08:29] TC
You can't do anything
about the points you give up.
[08:32] TC
Raise your head. Damn it!
[08:36] R1
With just one pitch,
now they have to chance to win.
[08:40] R2
Yeah.
[08:41] R2
That's baseball.
[08:44] R2
The scenario was perfect.
[08:46] R2
But he had to throw a harsh inside pitch.
[08:52] R2
Perhaps he was thinking too much
about finishing on the outside,
[08:57] R2
and that led to a slightly
lenient inside pitch.
SIGN Fall Tokyo High School Baseball Tournament

[09:23] SS
Third!
[09:28] R1
An error!
[09:30] R2
Kawakami-kun's here for the last inning,
[09:33] R2
but he's struggling to get the last out.
[09:37] Mi
Time out, please.
[09:39] R1
They've given up a run,
but it's still two outs, bases loaded.
[09:43] R2
It's the ultimate test
of who deserves to win.
[09:46] Sa
Nori-senpai! Two outs!
[09:48] Ka
Let's stay calm!
[09:49] Ot
Ka-Kawakami!
[09:53] Mi
Don't worry.
[09:54] Mi
Your pitch looks good.
[09:56] Mi
Let's pitch some strikes.
[09:57] Ma
Just throw to the closest base.
[09:59] Ma
Let's stay calm.
[10:01] Ku
Let's get the next out.
[10:18] Mi
He looks devasted.
[10:20] Mi
We can't win like...
[10:24] Mi
Nori.
[10:27] Mi
Look behind you.
[10:32] Mi
No, the sky.
[10:56] Mi
See?
[10:58] Mi
We were so cornered that we didn't
even notice this beautiful scene.
[11:08] Mi
Let's do what we've practiced,
[11:10] Mi
and make this game
[11:12] Mi
ours!
[11:14] Sa
Don't be passive! Be aggressive!
[11:21] TC
He looks revitalized.
[11:32] Um
Out!
[11:35] Um
Game set!
[11:37] S1
Game set!
[11:41] TC
In the end, the weather favored them.
[11:47] Sa
Yeah!
[11:49] C1
2-3!
[11:50] C1
Seido turned it around in the end!
[11:52] C2
What a close game!
[11:54] C3
What an intense pitchers' game!
[11:56] C4
Seido won the battle of the big schools!
[12:00] EE
Good game!
[12:03] C1
Are you serious?
[12:04] C1
The East Tokyo summer champions
disappeared in the first round!
[12:12] Ta
I don't think I underestimated him.
[12:14] Ta
Even that pitch was...
[12:20] In
It looks like we'll have a long off-season.
[12:23] Ta
It'll go by quickly,
[12:26] Ta
if we work on what we need.
[12:29] Ta
I need to get better.
[12:31] Ta
I need more power to outpitch the batters.
[12:34] Ta
I need more tactics to toy with the batters.
[12:37] Ta
We'll have to practice a lot.
[12:40] In
Yeah.
[12:41] In
I need to really focus for the summer.
[12:45] C1
Yeah!
[12:47] C1
In the end, Maezono
made the winning play.
[12:51] C2
Did you expect him to hit?
[12:53] C1
Nope.
[12:54] C2
The relief in the sixth inning
was a surprise, too.
[12:57] C1
I couldn't believe Furuya got benched.
[13:00] Ka
Let's go home.
[13:00] C2
Sawamura and Maezono
both performed well.
[13:01] Ot
K-K-K-Kawakami! Nice pitch!
[13:05] C2
So Coach Kataoka really
made good calls today.
[13:09] C3
The batting lineup isn't topnotch yet,
[13:12] C3
but this win should
give them some momentum.
[13:20] C1
It's decided.
[13:22] C2
Yeah.
[13:23] C2
Teito put up a good fight, but...
[13:26] C1
The school I'm going to...
[13:29] C1
I'm going to Seido.
[13:32] C1
I was kind of thinking about going
to the school that won this game.
[13:36] C2
Just kind of?
[13:38] C1
Yeah, kind of.
[13:41] C1
But I think it's the right choice.
[13:43] C1
They have two interesting pitchers.
[13:47] C2
Koshu.
[13:49] C2
You should've told me if that was
what you were thinking!
[13:52] C2
I could've enjoyed the game more, too!
[13:55] S1
Yeah.
[13:56] S1
Yeah, Seido.
[13:57] S1
Three runs in the bottom of the eighth.
[13:59] S2
No, Maezono really got the hit.
[14:05] R1
Coach Okamoto, did you not think
about relieving the pitcher today?
[14:11] TC
Well, I had a reliever ready,
[14:13] TC
but I felt that keeping Taiyo in
was the right decision.
[14:17] TC
If you want to raise an ace,
you've gotta have faith.
[14:23] R1
Words of wisdom.
[14:25] TC
But you can't lose!
[14:27] TC
No, you can't!
[14:29] R2
Then what do you think about
Seido's ace, Furuya-kun,
[14:33] R2
being benched so early in the game?
[14:36] TC
Well, it depends on the team.
SIGN Edogawa City Stadium
[14:40] TC
I thought it was a tough call at the time,
[14:43] TC
but we couldn't take down
their southpaw who came out next.
[14:48] TC
I'm sure Kataoka-kun wants
those two to compete as rivals.
[14:52] TC
Why am I talking about
the winning coach's calls?
[14:58] R2
I'm sorry.
[14:59] R2
I was curious.
[15:01] Ku
The sun came out
right before the game ended.
[15:04] Sa
Thank you!
[15:05] Ku
It wasn't a compliment.
SIGN Seido Spirit Dorm
[15:16] S1
Remember Zono's face right then?
[15:19] S2
You're so unreliable.
[15:21] Ma
Shut up!
[15:22] S2
You hit big but got
easily taken out at third.
[15:26] S3
I'm surprised you actually hit.
[15:29] Ma
Kominato, let's go.
[15:31] Ha
Yes, sir.
[15:32] S3
You're starting right now?
[15:35] Ma
I don't want to forget what I felt today.
[15:39] Ma
I've gotta beat it into my body before I forget.
[15:45] S3
He already swings every night.
[15:47] S4
He practices way too much.
[15:49] S5
Maezono-san looks so admirable.
[15:53] S6
Let's go swing some, too.
[15:54] S5
Yeah, I can't lose.
[15:58] Ku
Hey, Miyuki.
[16:00] Ku
Furuya's still running on the field.
[16:03] Ku
Should I go stop him?
[16:05] Mi
Just let him run all he wants.
[16:09] Mi
I bet he's never walked off
the mound like that.
[16:13] Mi
So I need him get really upset over it.
[16:16] Mi
And if he'll start listening
to me more, even better.
[16:20] Ku
So that's what you're after!
[16:21] Ku
You heartless fiend!
[16:25] Mi
We should've been more careful, too,
[16:30] Mi
but compared to before the pause,
[16:33] Mi
he was like a different person.
[16:36] Mi
I guess in that sense,
[16:37] Mi
we learned a lot this game.
[16:41] Mi
Though it wouldn't have
mattered if we'd lost.
[16:43] S1
But if Kawakami gave them
the winning runs in the end...
[16:47] Ku
Yeah, I can't even begin to fathom
how he'd be right now.
[16:51] Mi
We won in the end, so who cares?

Fall Tournament Game 1
You haven't returned any of my emails lately!
And wait... You pitched today?
Is this your first game since summer?
But I can't really imagine you pitching to the outside so much.
[16:56] Wa
You haven't returned
any of my emails lately!
[17:00] Wa
And wait... You pitched today?
[17:03] Wa
Is this your first game since summer?
[17:06] Wa
But I can't really imagine
you pitching to the outside so much.
[17:12] Sa
Shut up.
[17:13] Sa
I wish you could've seen it.
[17:18] Sa
In the rain,
[17:18] S1
Hey, don't think out loud.
[17:20] Sa
I gave them a piece of my
[17:21] S2
I want to turn that smile upside down.
[17:25] S1
But he did pitch
really well as a reliever today.
[17:26] Sa
ultra super deluxe pitch...
[17:31] Wa
So that's your next step.
[17:33] Wa
We're all excited to see
how much you've improved.
[17:38] Wa
By the way, our season's already over.
[17:43] Sa
I was able to pitch again.
[17:45] Sa
I was able to stand on the mound again.
[17:48] Sa
I was able to hold them off
with just outsides.
[17:53] Sa
If I can learn to pitch insides,
too, then I'll...
[18:03] Sa
I'm getting super hyped all of a sudden!
[18:05] Mi
I'm surprised you've got time to be emailing.
[18:10] Mi
Furuya's still running.
[18:12] Sa
What?!
[18:12] Ku
Is it Wakana?
[18:14] Ku
Is it an email from Wakana?
[18:16] Ot
What a nice game today.
[18:19] Ot
Although it was close until the end.
[18:21] Ot
Maezono got a hit today, too.
[18:24] Ot
I think that'll help the team get going.
[18:27] Re
He did a really nice job
hitting that inside pitch.
[18:31] Re
It was like he instinctively reacted
rather than trying to hit it.
[18:36] Ka
He swings the bat more than
anyone else on the team right now.
[18:40] Ka
I'm sure it boosted everyone's morale,
[18:44] Ka
even if they're not on the first string.
[18:47] Ot
They were all on the bleachers in the summer.
[18:50] Ot
I'm sure people have mixed
feelings about his success.
[18:54] Oc
The subs don't need to get better.
[18:57] Oc
Can I ask you a question?
[19:00] Oc
About the relief in the sixth inning.
[19:03] Oc
Pulling Furuya out there
quickly was, I guess,
[19:08] Oc
the right decision, ultimately.
[19:12] Oc
But why Sawamura?
[19:17] Oc
Kawakami is more consistent than Sawamura,
[19:20] Oc
and Sawamura is crippled with the yips.
[19:23] Ot
C-Crippled?
[19:26] Ka
Because of his attitude.
[19:28] Ka
At that point, Sawamura was
the only one who was ready,
[19:33] Ka
and he was ready to pitch to his strengths,
[19:36] Ka
even against an opponent like Teito.
[19:44] Oc
That's it?
[19:46] Ka
The fact that Teito expected him
to pitch insides was in our favor,
[19:51] Ka
but he unexpectedly pitched
until the end of the eighth inning.
[19:54] Ka
The fact that he was able to do that
[19:57] Ka
was great for the team.
[20:02] Oc
For the team?
[20:04] Ka
Yes.
[20:06] Ka
There's a limit to how much
a person can improve on his own.
[20:21] Fu
He did that when he was basically crippled.
[20:29] Sa
I am the king of running!
[20:32] Ka
Rivals acknowledge each other,
[20:36] Ka
and compete to get better.
[20:39] Ka
That's why they can train so hard.
[20:42] Ka
That's why they continue to improve.
[20:47] Ka
And
[20:48] Ka
they will always far exceed
our expectations.
[20:58] (Flashback) Ka
I won't sacrifice the team
just for Furuya alone.
[21:03] Ka
When the team grows as a whole,
the players strive to improve.
[21:07] Ka
This is something I learned
from the previous team.
[21:17] Re
Coach Kataoka.
[21:20] Ot
If we win the next one,
we'll get to play Inashiro!
[21:23] Ot
The players want revenge!
[21:25] Ot
Let's give them a run for their money!
[21:29] Oc
So he wants to make a team that
will improve with every game.
[21:36] Oc
I was curious as to how
he'd play against Teito,
[21:40] Oc
but now I see.
[21:43] Oc
The players aren't the only ones improving.
[21:51] Oc
I need to start promoting myself soon,
[21:56] Oc
or I might be in trouble.
[23:30] Is
If you win the next one,
you'll play Inashiro, right?
[23:34] Is
Destroy them!
[23:35] Is
I'll allow it.
[23:36] Ku
We're excited to pay back
Inashiro for summer,
[23:39] Ku
but something's stirring up
inside the team.
[23:42] Mi
If you want to quit,
then I can't stop you.
[23:46] Ku
Hey, don't be like that, Miyuki.
