[02:50] Narrator
In today's game, Furuya is having
trouble controlling the ball

and has allowed several runners
on base since the first inning.
[02:58] @Sawamura
I need to step in!

No, you don't!
[03:04] Narrator
But the fielders defended well,

Yes, his pitches were just as fast as ever,

[03:59] _Someone
but his control was severely lacking.
[04:02] _Someone
Nothing like how he pitched
in the Invitational.
[04:04] _Someone
He was very uneven.
[04:07] _Someone
He's intimidating when
he's in the zone,
[04:08] _Someone
but there are plenty of ways to attack him.
[04:12] @Sawamura
I didn't get to pitch!

We'll go check out Jingu Stadium.
[05:20] Watanabe
I hope we get to see other
pitchers besides Narumiya.
[05:24] Sachiko
Should we scout Teito too?
[05:26] @Kuramochi
Sanko's got Amahisa to watch out for.

There you go kidding again!
[05:43] @Sawamura
I don't want to let the

in today's game go to waste!
[05:48] @Miyuki
Go to waste? They're hardly perfect.
[05:51] @Sawamura
All the more reason to work on them!
[05:53] @Yui
Um...
[05:54] @Yui
If Sawamura-senpai is going to be pitching,
would you mind if I went along?
[05:58] @Yui
I couldn't get a read on him
in the bullpen during the last game.
[06:04] @Miyuki
You're on the bench, so you
should get used to catching.
[06:09] @Miyuki
Go ahead and catch for this idiot.
[06:12] @Sawamura
Hey, don't give your job to a first-year!

Casual speech with the captain...

Listen, young man!
[06:19] @Sawamura
If you want to catch for me, you'll have
to finish three bowls of rice first!
[06:23] @Yui
Yes, sir! This is my third.
[06:24] @Sawamura
Is that true, Kanemaru?!
[06:27] @Kanemaru
Yeah, that's his third bowl.
[06:29] @Sawamura
W-Well done, um...

They're going to practice more?
[07:02] int_Mogami
It doesn't make sense... I have
less and less appetite every day.
[07:07] @Sawamura
Asada!
[07:08] @Sawamura
You're a pitcher, right?
[07:10] @Sawamura
How about joining us,
once you're done eating?
[07:12] asada
I don't think so.
I can't exercise right after eating.
[07:16] asada
I'm sorry.
[07:18] int_Asada
I can't believe I turned him down!
[07:20] @Sawamura
I see. Another time, then!
[07:23] int_Asada
He's not mad?
[07:26] int_Asada
Is it really okay?
[07:27] Seto
He just turned down an invitation
from a second-year.
[07:31] Seto
He's got guts.
[07:32] @Yui
Furuya-san is a little absentminded.
[07:37] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
Looks like you're having
trouble finishing the meals.
[07:41] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki

Damn... I'm not making any progress.
[08:02] @int_Miyuki
Why's he feel the need
to put on that big show?
[08:05] @int_Miyuki
Is he miffed he didn't make the bench?
[08:08] @int_Miyuki
This is fun.
[08:10] @Sawamura
What are you smiling about, Kazuya Miyuki?!
[08:13] @Sawamura
You should act more like a captain!

Okay, see you later.

He gets dressed really quickly,
don't you think?
[09:55] @Sawamura
I've never seen him

I couldn't get much sleep again.
[10:07] int_Asada
I don't want to run.
[10:09] int_Asada
I don't want to eat.
[10:26] @int_Yui
It's still not settling
well into my mitt.
[10:28] @int_Yui
I need to catch it more firmly.

[10:33] @Yui
Yes, sir!
[10:42] Ochiai
I like what I'm seeing.
[10:44] Ochiai
Keep pitching.
[10:54] @int_Yui
Damn it.
[10:55] Ono
Yeah, it breaks at that speed.
[10:57] Ono
It's a little tricky at first.
[11:00] Ono
You'll have to keep catching
until you get used to it.
[11:04] Ono
Our team has a lot of unique pitchers.
[11:08] @Yui
Yes, sir.

[11:19] @Kawakami
Don't get greedy.
[11:20] @Sawamura
Here we go, Miyuki-senpai!
[11:22] @int_Miyuki
And this one doesn't
know how to keep quiet.
[11:28] Okumura
Your pitches are looking good!
[11:31] _Player
He's easy to pitch to.
[11:34] Okumura
Put the next one over here.
[11:36] @int_Miyuki
He's got a flexible style of catching.
[11:40] @int_Miyuki
It's a relief that he actually
talks to the pitcher.
[11:46] @Sawamura
Hey, hey, hey!
[11:47] @Sawamura
If you keep looking away,
you might get hurt, Captain!
[12:01] Seto

Yeah?
[12:18] Okumura
You don't need to sit with me.

He was handling the infield earlier, too.

been very effective.

Is Sawamura roping a first-year
into practicing with him?
[18:24] @Kuramochi
The first-year rooming with us
hasn't been feeling well,

so he's trying to cheer him up.
[18:30] @Miyuki
Cheer him up?
[18:33] (Flashback) fb_asada
I'll head out.
[18:34] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
That was fast!
[18:36] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
When did he get changed?!
[18:39] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
I never get to talk to him!
[18:40] (Flashback) @fb_Kuramochi
I get the feeling he's avoiding us.
[18:45] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
Us? Me, too?
[18:47] (Flashback) @fb_Kuramochi
He's not used to living in a dorm,
[18:50] (Flashback) @fb_Kuramochi
and he has to share a room
with two upperclassmen.
[18:53] (Flashback) @fb_Kuramochi
He takes a long time to eat,
[18:56] (Flashback) @fb_Kuramochi
so he might be close to cracking.
[18:58] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
We can't let that happen!
[19:01] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
It must have been when you beat him
up in that game on the first day!
[19:06] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
You crushed him in everything
he was good at!
[19:08] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
That's not just immature,
it's a terrible thing to do!
[19:12] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
You look and talk mean!
It's no wonder he's scared of you!
[19:16] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
You have the unmistakable air
of a former delinquent!
[19:18] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
It's like living in a
cage with a wild animal!
[19:21] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
Oh, man, it's so scary!
[19:22] (Flashback) @fb_Kuramochi
You're really asking for it!
[19:24] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
I understand!
[19:25] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
As his senior, I'll go break a leg!
[19:28] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
Leave everything to me!
[19:32] @Miyuki
He's in that zone again, huh?
[19:34] @Kuramochi
With that dumb face he makes.
[19:36] @Miyuki
I can picture it now.
[19:38] @Kuramochi
Well, Sawamura spends more time with the kid.
[19:42] @Kuramochi
Me leaving wouldn't solve anything.
[19:44] @Miyuki
I suppose.
[19:46] @Miyuki
Our first-year is a cocky kid.
[19:49] @Miyuki
Why's he always glaring at me?
[19:52] @Kuramochi
You go too easy on them,
so they take advantage.
[19:55] @Miyuki
I don't mind. It's fun.
[19:58] @Sawamura
And this is where the Sawamura family's
secret sauce makes an appearance!
[20:03] @Sawamura
It's got mustard and, um...
[20:05] @Sawamura
a lot of other stuff!
[20:07] @Sawamura
You pour it over a piping hot steak!
[20:10] @Sawamura

[20:13] @Sawamura
you take a big bite with rice!
[20:15] asada
Um...
[20:17] asada
Why are you telling me this?
[20:19] @Sawamura
I thought talking about delicious
food would help you eat.
[20:23] @Sawamura
Well? Feeling hungry?
[20:26] asada
I'm full.
[20:28] @Sawamura
Instead of "I can't,"
say "I can't yet!"
[20:31] @Sawamura
Just say that when you feel ready to quit!
[20:34] @Sawamura
That's what I've always
done and will continue to do!
[20:38] asada
They said that on TV yesterday.
[20:42] @Sawamura
The only enemy is inside yourself!
[20:44] @Sawamura
You need to crawl up from here!
[20:51] @Sawamura
Now eat those last three
bites all at once, Asada!
[20:54] asada
Not three at once...
[20:56] Okumura
Knock it off.
[21:01] Okumura
Your idiotic shouting has
made me lose my appetite.
[21:05] Okumura
I feel sick.
[21:07] @Sawamura
Huh?
[21:08] Okumura
Even though he eats slowly,
he finishes everything.
[21:17] Okumura
We don't need any cheap encouragement.
[21:20] Okumura
We're fighting in our own way.
[21:23] Okumura
Could you please leave?
I'm tired of looking at you, Senpai.
[21:31] @int_Sawamura
T-Tired of looking at me?
[21:37] @int_Sawamura
Leave?
[21:42] @Sawamura
Wh-Wh-What's your problem?!
[21:44] @Sawamura
You're a first-year, right?
Yeah, a first-year!
[21:46] @Sawamura
Tell me your class, name,
and your roll number!
[21:50] Okumura
Koshu Okumura. I play catcher.
[21:52] Okumura
Don't you remember being
in the bullpen with me?
[21:54] Okumura
Are you only interested in first-years
if they have a spot on the bench?
[21:59] @Sawamura
I-I remember seeing you.
[22:01] Okumura
And it doesn't matter
what class I'm in.
[22:07] @int_Sawamura
Wh...
[22:08] @int_Sawamura
What a cocky first-year!
[22:11] @int_Sawamura
What a jerk!

Don't run away.
[23:51] Umemiya
Keep on coming!
[23:52] Mukai
I don't like your eyes.
[23:55] Mukai
Do you think you can beat me?
[23:57] Umemiya
I'm going to crush your
resolve and your pride!
[24:02] @Miyuki
Our game tomorrow is against
Kasuga First High.
[24:04] @Miyuki
They're a powerhouse school
from the eastern division.
[24:06] @Miyuki
What do you think about testing
our numbers at some point?
[24:09] @Miyuki
Just a little.
[24:10] @Miyuki
