    Hey, I heard you guys beat Teito.
[00:05] Is
    Zono got the winning run?
[00:06] Ry
    Nice.
[00:08] Is
    I knew you would do it.
[00:09] Ma
    Thank you.
[00:10] Is
    Though I would've hit it out of the park.
[00:14] Ma
    Jun-san.
[00:17] Is
    If you win the next one, you play Inashiro.
[00:19] Ma
    Yes.
[00:20] Ma
    If all goes well.
[00:21] Is
    Make everything go well!
[00:23] Is
    Narumiya's tired from summer.
[00:26] Is
    Kill him!
[00:28] Is
    I'll allow it.
[00:30] Is
    Want me to play as a pinch hitter?
[00:32] Is
    I'll kill him personally!
[00:34] Ma
    You can't, Jun-san!
[00:36] Ry
    Maybe I won't get caught
[00:37] Ry
    if I switch with Haruichi.
[00:39] Ma
    Ryo-san, you, too?
[00:42] Ku
    He was being so cocky,
[00:43] Ku
    so I made him cry with a choke hold.
[00:46] Mi
    You guys are so close.
[00:47] Ku
    What? I hate Sawamoron.
[00:49] S1
    Miyuki.
[00:52] S1
    Do you have a minute?
[00:54] Ku
    What's up, Nabe-chan?
[00:55] Ku
    All the way from the room next door.
[00:57] Ku
    Kudo and Higashio, too?
[00:59] S1
    Oh, it's nothing.
[01:01] S2
    Miyuki-kun, here.
[01:03] S2
    These are the groups for the school trip.
[01:05] S3
    Kuramochi, here.
[01:07] Ku
    Where's the "kun" for me?
[01:09] S2
    You might have a game during the trip, right?
[01:14] S2
    So all the baseball team guys
    are in the same group.
[01:17] Ku
    Wow! You're right.
[01:19] Ku
    This is the same as the dorm members.
[01:21] Ku
    This is terrible.
[01:23] Mi
    We're not going.
[01:25] Mi
    We don't plan on losing.
[01:29] Ku
    Here, you can have it back.
[01:31] Mi
    Right?
[01:34] Na
    Y-Yeah.
[01:36] S1
    I see. That's too bad.
[01:39] S1
    It was a good opportunity
    to get to know everyone in class.
[01:42] Ku
    Whatever!
[01:43] Ku
    It's the schedule's fault!
[01:45] Ku
    The school doesn't care
    about us going to the trip.
[01:48] Ku
    It's the principal's conspiracy!
[01:50] Mi
    So what did you need?
[01:55] Na
    Sorry, never mind.
[02:00] Ku
    Hey!

[03:37] S1
    What's Sawamura reading today?
[03:39] S2
    He quickly gave up on
    Crime and Punishment the other day.
[03:43] S2
    He couldn't remember the characters' names.
[03:47] S3
    Yes, he loves it! Your Lie is the one!
[03:49] S3
    I didn't expect he'd cry so much, though.
[03:52] S2
    I can sympathize.
[03:54] S3
    Did you lend it to him?
[03:55] S2
    Yeah, and I made him read it.
[03:57] S3
    He's cheered up recently, hasn't he?
[04:01] S2
    Maybe something good happened.
[04:04] Ha
    I... I want to talk about it.
SIGN    Has every volume
[04:08] Ka
    Damn.
[04:09] Ka
    He's getting cocky because he got to play.
[04:13] Ka
    Hurry up and read it!
[04:14] Ka
    I'm next.
[04:16] Ka
    You're spoiling me with your reactions!
[04:26] Ot
    What a great view
    with five cages on the field.
[04:30] Re
    I'm sure the players
    enjoy getting more turns, too.
[04:33] Ka
    Yeah.
[04:34] Ka
    Coach Ochiai proposed installing them.
[04:39] Ka
    We do a lot of situational practice
[04:43] Ka
    to give everyone a good intuition of baseball.
[04:46] Ka
    He thought instead of making them think,
[04:49] Ka
    it would be better
    to just let them bat freely.
[04:52] Ot
    Oh, I see.
SIGN    smug face
[04:58] Oc
    Everyones loves batting practice.
[05:02] Oc
    I have a few more ideas, too,
    despite how I act.
[05:07] Ot
    He's getting assertive all of a sudden.
[05:13] Sa
    Relax my body.
[05:17] Sa
    Concentrate only on my fingertips!
[05:23] Sa
    Let's go!
[05:24] Ku
    His outside pitches are looking good.
[05:27] Ku
    Really hard to time, too.
[05:29] S1
    He volunteered to pitch today.
[05:35] S2
    Did he volunteer, too?
[05:37] S2
    It's not even about timing.
[05:39] S2
    It's gonna demoralize me.
[05:42] Ka
    These guys are able to play
    because they have their own weapons.
[05:49] Ka
    Don't hold back, Furuya!
[05:52] Ka
    Otherwise there's no point in having you pitching!
SIGN    Was never planning to...
[05:57] Ka
    Not just him.
[05:59] Ka
    Sawamura, Kominato, and Tojo
    are playing in games.
[06:03] Ka
    I'm not gonna be stuck as a bench warmer!
[06:08] To
    Furuya.
[06:10] To
    Don't be surprised.
[06:14] To
    Shinji's really good at hitting fastballs.
[06:20] Ot
    Wow! He hit the first pitch!
[06:23] Ot
    And it went pretty far!
[06:26] Re
    He's been looking good recently.
[06:31] S1
    I know how you feel.
[06:32] S1
    You made an error the other day. too.
[06:35] Ka
    Let's go!
[06:36] Ka
    Man, that hurt my hand.
[06:40] Sa
    Come over here next, Kanemaru!
[06:42] Ka
    Shut up!
[06:42] Ka
    You're gonna hit me!
[06:44] Ot
    This is good.
[06:45] Ot
    The first-years are looking energetic,
    as are the second-years.
[06:49] Re
    Yeah.
[06:49] Re
    It might be a good idea to try a few
    new things in the game on Saturday.
[06:56] Ha
    Eijun-kun.
[06:58] Ha
    Go easy on me.
[07:00] Sa
    You wanna fight?
[07:01] Sa
    You wanna fight?!
[07:02] Ot
    It's hard not to think about it.
[07:07] Ot
    Ugumori did well
    in the summer tournament, too,
[07:11] Ot
    but the third round game
    will almost surely be against...
SIGN    Inashiro Vocational
[07:16] Re
    Everyone feels the same way.
[07:29] SS
    Revenge for the summer!
[07:31] Sa
    I'm so small!
[07:38] S1
    Why didn't you tell Miyuki, Nabe?
[07:42] S1
    Guess you couldn't in that atmosphere.
[07:44] S2
    Hey, Kudo.
[07:46] S2
    There's the coach thing, too,
[07:48] S2
    so couldn't we wait
    until the tournament ends?
[07:54] Na
    It's something I'd always felt,
    but it's become more apparent lately.
[08:01] Na
    The difference in motivation.
[08:10] Na
    Kudo, Higashio.
[08:16] Na
    Is it okay...
[08:17] Na
    ...for us to be on the
    team feeling like this?
[08:25] R1
    There are still a lot of reporters here.
[08:29] R2
    It's calmed down a little now,
[08:31] R2
    but the runner up from nationals
    is playing this weekend.
[08:37] R2
    They have four members
    who experienced nationals.
[08:42] R2
    They're the favorite
    to win the spring invitational.
[08:46] R1
    And if they play Seido in the third round,
[08:49] R1
    it'll be the summer final all over again.
[08:52] R1
    I bet the stadium will be packed.
[09:07] R2
    His pitches look fast.
[09:10] R1
    He doesn't look tired from summer.
[09:12] R2
    He didn't pitch much in the group stages,
[09:15] R2
    so I'm sure Coach Kunitomo
    did a good job keeping him rested.
[09:18] I1
    Mei-san, can I get a change-up next?
[09:21] I1
    Preferably low.
[09:23] Me
    Sure, but can you catch it?
[09:26] Me
    Even if you can stop it in the bullpen,
[09:28] Me
    there's no use if you
    let it past you in the game.
[09:30] Me
    If you don't at least let it roll forward,
    I can't pitch it comfortably!
[09:36] I2
    He's still talking about
    the passed ball in the group stages.
[09:40] I2
    Let him talk, Tadano.
[09:41] I2
    This is all to help you improve.
[09:43] I2
    I think.
[09:45] I1
    I'll catch it.
[09:46] I1
    Even if it kills me!
[09:49] Me
    What a lie!
[09:50] Me
    A big lie!
[09:51] Me
    Where did you learn to say that?
[09:53] Me
    Movies and comics?
[09:54] Me
    Video games?
[09:55] Me
    Don't I always tell you?
[09:57] Me
    Feelings alone can't get you anywhere.
[09:59] Me
    It's about skills.
[10:00] Me
    Having the skills will give you confidence,
[10:03] Me
    and you'll be able
    to control your feelings, then.
[10:06] Me
    Relying on feelings or whatever
    is what people without skills do!
[10:10] C1
    This kid has a big mouth.
[10:13] Me
    Don't worry.
[10:15] Me
    You'll automatically get better
     if you're my catcher.
[10:20] I1
    Yes, sir.
[10:21] I1
    But I have my pride as a catcher, too.
[10:23] Me
    Shut up, you stubborn kid!
[10:26] R1
    This is new.
[10:27] R1
    Narumiya-kun is the one
    guiding the first-years.
[10:31] R2
    Is he actually?
[10:33] IM
    They made the best of a good opportunity
    and scored three runs from Mukai.
[10:38] IM
    What was surprising was how their pitchers
    kept the Teito batters to two runs.
[10:43] IM
    Although Furuya got switched out
     because of the rain,
[10:47] IM
    I heard he was in the zone until then.
[10:53] IM
    Sawamura and Kawakami
    add depth to their pitching crew.
[10:57] IM
    They may not have
    the explosive batting anymore,
[11:01] IM
    but they could be more troublesome
     than in the summer tournament, in a way.
[11:05] IC
    We're in no position to talk
    about an opponent that far ahead.
[11:12] IC
    We have to take down
    Ugumori first, or it's over.
[11:18] IM
    Y-Yes, you're right.
[11:20] IM
    One win at a time.
[11:21] IM
    My apologies.
[11:25] IM
    Coach Kunitomo looked a little stressed
    since the summer season ended.
SIGN    Seido High School Practice Field
[11:41] S1
    What a crazy start.
[11:44] S2
    How can he be so decisive?
[11:47] S3
    He watches the pitcher's
    entire body or something.
[11:50] S3
    He can tell from a righty's back.
[11:54] S2
    That's too high level for me to imitate.
[11:57] Oc
    What a good run.
[11:59] Oc
    He's useful.
[12:00] Ka
    It's always reliable, too.
[12:03] Ka
    The next move changes drastically,
    depending on if Kuramochi gets on base or not.
[12:09] Oc
    He has a good batting eye, too.
[12:11] Oc
    If only he could get on base more.
[12:21] Sa
    You fell for it!
[12:23] S1
    You play way too risky.
[12:26] S1
    In both defense and stealing.
[12:27] S2
    Yeah.
[12:28] S3
    Damn.
[12:28] S4
    But Sawamura's pick-off's gotten better, too.
[12:32] Ka
    It's really mortifying
    when Sawamoron catches you.

    Hey, you look like a bad guy right now.

[12:42] Re

    so he's already preparing
    to play against Narumiya-kun.
[12:51] Sa
    How do you like it, Harucchi?
[12:53] Sa
    Can you run?
[12:54] Sa
    No one can run when I'm pitching!
[12:57] Mi
    Because you never pitch to me!
[12:59] Mi
    Throw the ball!
[13:03] S1
    Ow!
[13:04] S1
    Why did you tag me there?
[13:07] S1
    It's practice, so don't force it!
[13:09] S1
    Damn! That hurt.
[13:11] S2
    Sorry.

    You okay?

    He throws a lot of sliders.

    We won't lose if we don't underestimate them.

    Huh? You already done, Kudo?

    Yeah, my stomach doesn't feel good.
[13:47] S3
    What? Don't let the coach find out.
[13:50] S4
    Kudo.

    This is the fruit of
    Miyauchi-senpai's training.

    Aso has a foul mouth,
    but he forgets things quickly.
[14:15] S2
    Yeah.

    Before the Game
[20:54] Ot
    What?
[20:54] Ot
    Furuya's playing left field in the next game?
[20:57] Ka
    Yes.
[20:58] Ka
    I want him to be ready to go any time,
[21:01] Ka
    but if he shows any laziness,
    I'll switch him out immediately.
[21:07] Oc
    Is it a penalty for the last game?
[21:10] Oc
    That's pretty harsh.
[21:16] Ka
    He can still act like the ace,
    even from left field.
[21:20] Ka
    His teammates see everything.
[21:24] Mi
    The coach has a lot
    of expectations for Furuya.
[21:29] Ot
    Then who's starting?
[21:32] Sa
    Excuse me.
[21:35] Sa
    You called for the crippled Sawamura?
[21:37] Sa
    Wh-What can I help you with today?
[21:40] Sa
    If it's about sleeping through
    the entire class today,
[21:44] Sa
    then I'm deeply repentant.
[21:46] Mi
    You did?
[21:48] Sa
    Wait! It's not about that?
[21:51] Ot
    C-Coach Kataoka!
[21:53] Ot
    You don't mean to say...
[23:31] Sa
    What do you need from me today?
[23:34] Mi
    We have a new lineup for the second round.
[23:37] Mi
    We play against Nanamori Academy next.
[23:40] Mi
    The starting pitcher for the game is...
[23:43] Fu
    Once something happens,
     it's too late to stop it.
