First, let me praise you all for coming
in with strong expressions today.
[03:32] Matsudo
A game like today's is commonly
known as a throwaway,
[03:37] Matsudo

"what could have been" so easily.

I want you working yourselves up into
a fire that stays lit until next season!

the playoffs, which was tons of fun.

And most of all...
[04:12] Ruriko
Hey, you're looking like
a man in need of a beer.
[04:18] Murata

[04:21] Ruriko
What's got you so worked up?
[04:23] Ruriko
I didn't catch you thinking about me, did I?
[04:26] Ruriko
Goodness me!
[04:26] Murata
N-N-No, it wasn't that...
[04:29] Ruriko
That'll be 700 yen.
[04:30] Murata
She doesn't even wait for me to ask anymore.
[04:37] Ruriko
Guess it's the end of the season now...
[04:40] Murata
Yeah. That means you vendors are
off until next spring, too, huh?
[04:49] Murata
I guess it's not just the players,
but everyone who works here
[04:53] Murata
who deserves our appreciation.
[04:57] Ruriko
Oh, giving me my flowers, huh?
[05:00] Ruriko
So kind of you!
[05:04] Murata

You're bold today, mister!

Yes! Perfectly balanced!

[06:58] Nagisa
how much they mean to us!
[07:05] sign
Pitching's in bad shape
Nanami's comeback looking good!
Dennis is a great player - not just power,
but technique, fielding, and base running.
But he doesn't seem fully like a team player.
Kawamatsu plays hard,
really charges up the team.
He's always giving it all.
Love how he leaves it all on the field.
[07:06] sign
MotorSuns vs. Genesis
Kojiro's not looking any
better stats-wise,
but he always
comes in clutch, +120 wRC.
Got accosted by a
weird vendor girl today.
Don't remember seeing her before.
[07:06] sign
Team's hitting is improving.
Feels like it's coming together,
but the pitching is still a problem.
Defense is also near the league bottom.
An absolute must-fix if we want to reach CS.
Need some decent starting pitchers
besides Mitsui ASAP.

Ruriko!
[19:47] Ruriko
Show some respect!
[19:50] Murata
Ruriko!
[19:51] Murata
She's a vendor again this year?
[19:56] Murata
H-Hey. It's been a while.
[19:59] Ruriko
Hey, it's you, mister!
[20:01] Ruriko
Been a while.
[20:02] Murata
Um... I'd like a beer.
[20:07] Ruriko
How many games have you been to?
[20:09] Murata
Y-You mean this season?
[20:13] Ruriko
Yeah.
[20:14] Murata
Well... I went to opening day in Saitama,
[20:18] Murata
so this is my second... I guess.
[20:21] Murata
But this is gonna be a great game—
[20:23] Ruriko
Huh... I see.
[20:26] Ruriko
I bet those Saitama beers
tasted pretty great, huh?
[20:34] Ruriko
And I bet you bought from a "sweetness
and light" vendor, the type you like.
[20:39] Murata
Well...
[20:40] Ruriko
I bet you're not even thinking
about the game today.
[20:44] Murata
I-I just...
[20:47] Murata
Th-Thanks.
[20:49] Murata
Um... Ruriko...
[20:51] Ruriko
What?
[20:54] Murata
I didn't buy any.
[21:01] Murata
I didn't drink at Genesis Dome,
[21:04] Murata
so this is my opening beer.
[21:11] Ruriko
That so?
[21:12] Murata
Yes.
[21:15] Ruriko
Go on, then.
[21:17] Murata
R-Right. Thank you.
[21:46] Ruriko

Um...
[21:59] Pink Hair
About my hair color...
[22:01] Pink Hair
Thanks for letting me keep it pink.
[22:05] Nakaizumi
Well, we've got quite a few
eccentrics on our team already.
[22:09] Pink Hair
I'll work hard to keep up with you all!
[22:12] Nakaizumi
We'll do our best to support you.
[23:02] Ruriko
It's opening day!
[23:09] Ruriko
What?
[23:10] Murata
Uh, nothing.
[23:14] Murata
Yeah, this is just the start.
[23:29] Ruriko
Would anyone like a Hyper Dry?
[23:33] Ruriko
Ice-cold beer!
[23:35] Ruriko
Would anyone like a Hyper Dry?
[23:38] Customer
Excuse me! I'll take a beer!
[23:40] Ruriko
On my way!
[23:42] Ruriko
Thank you so much!
