**[00:01] Dai**
* Our eyes firmly fixed on Nationals,*
* we, the Mifune Dolphins, have made it*
**[00:05] Dai**
*to the second round of Regionals.*
**[00:07] Dai**
*Nijigaoka Beetles' ace, Tamaki,*
**[00:10] Dai**
*has finally taken to the mound.*
**[00:13] Coa**
According to Urabe, he's an Eephus
pitcher who mainly throws slower balls.
**[00:18] Coa**
That's why we practiced
hitting pitches at half speed.
**[00:20] Kid**
What's an Eephus again?
**[00:23] Fuj**
Put simply, it's an extremely slow pitch.
**[00:26] Coa**
I wonder what his throw will be like.
**[00:30] Ump**
Play!
**[00:38] Kid**
That's mega slow!
**[00:41] Ump**
Strike!
**[00:42] Fuj**
That's even slower than I imagined!
**[00:45] Fuj**
But it's just slow, nothing more.
**[00:47] Fuj**
If he got a no-hitter with those pitches,
**[00:49] Fuj**
their opposition in the first round
must've been very weak.
**[00:52] Mom**
That's some relaxed pitching
from such a big youngster.
**[00:57] Mom**
With throws like those, they'll claw
back those two runs in no time.
**[01:01] Old**
No, if the balls were just slow,
they'd be easy to hit.
**[01:06] Old**
But with a slow rainbow pitch like that,
**[01:08] Old**
the impact point becomes tiny,
so getting a hit is quite difficult.
**[01:14] Ump**
Strike two!
**[01:15] Old**
And because they use a softer ball,
even if you do make contact,
**[01:19] Old**
it won't go far unless you hit
the ball pretty much dead center.
**[01:28] Ump**
Out.
**[01:29] Coa**
He's good.
**[01:30] Fuj**
That was a hard hit to field.
**[01:34] Coa**
Well, they do have Komori as their manager.
**[01:36] Coa**
It's not surprising
their defense is so solid.

**[03:21] Hik**
Good luck, Daigo-kun!
**[03:24] Gram**
Dai-chan's up!
**[03:25] Old**
Yeah.
**[03:27] Dai**
*The Eephus pitch.*
**[03:29] Dai**
* Their tactic is to baffle*
* you with a slow ball,*
**[03:31] Dai**
* and then use their strong*
* defense to pick you off.*
***SIGN*** Nijigaoka Beetles
***SIGN*** Pitcher Tamaki
**[03:34] Ump**
Play!
**[03:36] Dai**
* Satou-san showed me how*
* to deal with slow balls,*
**[03:38] Dai**
* and using that technique,*
* I managed to get a hit.*
**[03:44] Dai**
* That pitch wasn't as slow as this one,*
* but the technique is the same.*
**[03:48] Dai**
*Don't be hasty.*
**[03:50] Dai**
*Wait for it to get really close...*
**[03:54] Dai**
*Then, swing at your normal spot!*
**[03:58] Coa**
He did it!
**[03:58] Coa**
Heading to center field!
**[04:00] Gramp**
He got a hit.
**[04:03] Ump**
Out!
**[04:05] Fuj**
What?
**[04:06] Hik**
He caught it.
**[04:07] Coa**
Why did they even have someone there?
**[04:10] Tam**
Nice catch!
**[04:13] Fuj**
What the hell?
**[04:14] Fuj**
Usually, that'd be a hit to center field.
**[04:16] Fuj**
Why was he standing there?
**[04:18] Tam**
Two down, two down!
**[04:22] Ura**
* So that's how they got a no hitter.*
* It wasn't just an iron-tight defense...*
**[04:27] Dai**
Damn.
**[04:28] Dai**
And that was a good one, too.
**[04:30] Dai**
What a waste of a hit.
**[04:32] Ura**
They're using an infield
shift for the Eephus.
**[04:34] Dai**
Huh?
**[04:35] Ura**
I don't know if they're
using signs to co-ordinate it,
**[04:38] Ura**
but they change their formation
as soon as the pitch is thrown.
**[04:42] Ura**
Guess it's their way of improving the odds
of picking us off once we hit their slow ball.
**[04:47] Ura**
Work out how to counter it on the bench.
**[04:52] Ann**
Batting third, pitcher,
**[04:54] Ann**
Urabe-kun.
**[04:56] ---**
Urabe-kun!
***SIGN*** Pitcher
***SIGN*** Urabe Hayato
**[04:57] ---**
Urabe-kun!
**[05:00] Coa**
What?
**[05:00] Coa**
An infield shift for the Eephus?
**[05:03] Dai**
That's right.
***SIGN*** Mifune Dolphins
***SIGN*** Manager Tashiro
**[05:03] Dai**
Somehow, they're shifting
positions with the pitch.
**[05:07] Coa**
Really?
**[05:12] Ump**
Strike!
**[05:16] Ura**
*Three fielders between second and third?*
**[05:18] Ura**
* And around first, there's*
* only the first baseman!*
**[05:22] Fuj**
What's going on?
**[05:24] Fuj**
Their whole right side is empty!
**[05:27] Coa**
I see. That's what they're up to.
**[05:30] Coa**
With a slow ball, there's no
such thing as swinging too late,
**[05:33] Coa**
so for a right-hander,
the ball will usually veer left.
**[05:35] Coa**
So tightening up the defense
on that side makes sense.
**[05:39] Fuj**
Then, all we have to do
is hit it out to right field.
**[05:42] Fuj**
We can rip apart an infield
shift like that, no sweat!
**[05:44] Coa**
Easy for you to say! They're grade schoolers.
**[05:47] Coa**
They're having a hard enough time
just hitting these rainbow balls...
**[05:50] Coa**
You honestly think they can hit
to opposite field, too?
**[06:00] Ump**
Foul!
**[06:02] Coa**
Urabe's trying to hit it to right field.
**[06:04] Coa**
But even with his skill,
the ball has a mind of its own.
**[06:09] Ura**
*Damn.*
**[06:10] Ura**
* I haven't practiced this kind of hit,*
* so it's not surprising I'm finding it hard.*
**[06:16] Ura**
* Guess all I can do is*
* smash it out of the park!*
**[06:20] Ura**
*Huh?*
**[06:24] Tas**
An uncaught third strike!
**[06:25] Tas**
Run, Urabe!
**[06:29] Ump**
Safe!
**[06:30] Sak**
He did it!
**[06:32] Gramp**
Yes! We've got a runner!
**[06:35] Gramp**
All right!
**[06:38] Gramp**
Huh?
**[06:40] Gramp**
What are you doing, Hikaru?!
**[06:42] Gramp**
You're up next!
**[06:44] Hik**
Oh, yeah, I'm batting fourth, aren't I?
**[06:48] Kid**
I'm sorry, Tamaki!
**[06:49] Tam**
Don't sweat it.
**[06:52] Tam**
These short, arcing pitches
always end up bouncing.
**[06:54] Tam**
They're the kind of throws
that make catchers cry.
**[07:01] Tam**
We don't have any data on their cleanup,
so I won't go straight for him.
**[07:05] Tam**
Manager told me to be wary of him, too.
**[07:08] Tam**
So in this case, we'll use Plan B.
**[07:11] Kid**
Okay.
**[07:12] Ann**
Batting fourth, center fielder,
**[07:14] Ann**
Satou-kun.
**[07:16] Gramp**
That's the kid who made that
great catch in center field.
**[07:20] Gramp**
If he's playing cleanup,
he must be a good batter, too.
**[07:22] Gramp**
So the Dolphins has an all-rounder, huh?
**[07:25] Gram**
Huh? Didn't I tell you about him?
**[07:28] Gram**
That boy is Toshi-kun's son.
**[07:30] Gramp**
Huh?
**[07:31] Gram**
That's the boy who got Daigo
interested in baseball again.
**[07:37] Gramp**
Seriously?
**[07:38] Ump**
Play!
**[07:40] Ura**
* An uncaught third strike is*
* pretty lame, but whatever.*
**[07:44] Ura**
*At least I managed to get on base.*
**[07:46] Ura**
*Once I'm out here, I get to dictate the game.*
**[07:48] Ura**
*Stealing bases is a cinch on slow balls!*
**[07:54] Coa**
He's running!
**[07:55] Ump**
Ball!
**[08:01] Fuj**
The hell? He just started running without
waiting to see what would happen?
**[08:05] Fuj**
He could've thrown a fastball
from the slide step!
**[08:08] And**
No, Urabe's looking at his form
and starting his run based on it.
**[08:12] Fuj**
Huh?
**[08:13] And**
With that slow pitching motion, he can wait
to confirm it and still steal the base.
***SIGN*** Suzuki Andy
**[08:19] Dai**
*What's up with this pitcher?*
**[08:21] Dai**
* He's still throwing Eephus*
* pitches when there are runners?*
**[08:24] Dai**
*A runner can do whatever he wants!*
**[08:27] Dai**
*That's a ridiculous tactic.*
**[08:31] Ura**
*Slow ball!*
**[08:37] Sak**
Wh-What?
**[08:38] Coa**
So fast!
**[08:41] Ump**
Out!
**[08:44] Ump**
Three outs!
**[08:45] Ump**
Change sides!
**[08:46] Kids**
Yes! Time to switch!
**[08:47] Kids**
Nice one, Catcher.
**[08:50] Dai**
What... was that pitch just now?
***SIGN*** Nijigaoka
***SIGN*** Mifune
**[08:58] Ump**
Strike! Out!
**[08:59] Ump**
Three outs! Change sides!
**[09:02] Fuj**
Good job, Urabe!
**[09:04] Fuj**
Looks like things have
calmed down this inning.
**[09:07] Coa**
The two runs they scored off
no hits in the first hurt bad.
**[09:11] Coa**
But if it's only a two-run lead,
we've got a chance.
**[09:14] Coa**
Question is, how do we defeat that guy?
**[09:18] Dai**
Manager, that last pitch he threw...
what kind of ball was that?
**[09:26] Coa**
That's what they call "a snap throw."
**[09:30] Coa**
It's an infielder's throw that doesn't
require a big swing of the arm or a windup,
**[09:34] Coa**
like a pitcher's or an
outfielder's throw does.
**[09:37] Coa**
By twisting your forearm and releasing
from your fingertips with a snap,
**[09:41] Coa**
you can hasten your throwing motion.
**[09:45] Coa**
Most grade schoolers don't have strong
enough arms to execute the technique.
**[09:51] Coa**
With his physique, though,
it's not surprising he can do it.
**[09:55] Ump**
Who's batting for the Dolphins?
**[09:59] And**
Satou, you're up.
**[10:02] Hik**
But I batted last in the last inning,
so now it's the fifth batter's turn.
**[10:08] And**
You idiot!
**[10:09] And**
Urabe got out as a runner,
meaning you're still at bat!
**[10:12] Hik**
Huh? Oh, really?
**[10:14] Hik**
Lucky!
**[10:16] Hik**
Sorry about that!
**[10:19] Ump**
Play!
**[10:28] Ump**
Strike!
**[10:30] Kom**
* They were already struggling*
* when it was just slow balls,*
***SIGN*** Nijigaoka Beetles
***SIGN*** Manager Komori
**[10:33] Kom**
* but now they've seen that fastball,*
* their hands are basically tied.*
**[10:44] Ump**
Strike two!
**[10:48] Coa**
This isn't good.
**[10:50] Coa**
This situation's a hard one to handle.
**[10:52] Coa**
That fastball isn't so fast, but when
it comes hot on the heels of a slow ball,
**[10:57] Coa**
it seems impossibly quick.
**[10:59] And**
What's more, when a throw like
that comes from such a slow windup,
**[11:03] And**
it's really hard to time your swing.
**[11:06] Coa**
Just like it's hard to hit a change-up,
**[11:07] Coa**
when the pitcher's stance
suggests a fastball's on its way.
**[11:11] Coa**
For a grade schooler
to overcome an Eephus pitch
**[11:14] Coa**
*and* this pitching style in just
one or two at bats is nigh impossible.
**[11:27] Gram**
That was so cool!
**[11:29] Gram**
I see you've still got your reflexes, honey!
**[11:32] Gramp**
You think so?
**[11:33] Gramp**
Maybe I should start playing again!
**[11:37] Tam**
That old geezer has a good throw on him.
**[11:39] Tam**
*But this guy...*
**[11:41] Tam**
* He may have swung late,*
* but he managed to hit my snap throw.*
**[11:46] Tam**
*I see now why our manager was wary of him.*
**[11:50] Kom**
*Don't rush it.*
**[11:51] Kom**
*Slow and steady.*
**[11:54] Hik**
* His form tells me nothing about what kind*
* of throw is coming until he releases the ball.*
**[11:58] Hik**
* Isn't there anything I can use to*
* figure out what he's about to throw?*
**[12:06] Ump**
Ball!
**[12:06] Fuj**
Yeah! Good eye!
**[12:11] Dai**
M-Manager!
**[12:15] Ump**
Ball.
**[12:16] Coa**
Time out!
**[12:17] Coa**
Satou!
**[12:24] Tam**
*What's this?*
**[12:26] Hik**
Got it.
**[12:28] Coa**
Great observation, Daigo.
**[12:30] Dai**
It's nothing.
**[12:32] Dai**
Their fielders shift positions for
the Eephus just as he releases.
**[12:37] Dai**
I figured there must be some sort of sign,
so I've been watching them all closely.
**[12:41] Ump**
Play!
**[12:42] Dai**
Of course, I wouldn't be able to tell
what the signs themselves meant.
**[12:47] Dai**
But if you look closely, you'll see that
the fielders prepare differently.
**[12:51] Dai**
When it's a slow ball and they have
to shift, everyone stands naturally,
**[12:56] Dai**
but when a fastball's coming,
everyone drops their center of gravity.
**[13:06] Dai**
Go!
**[13:12] Sak**
A center fly.
**[13:14] Tam**
Nice, Okegawa!
**[13:17] Ura**
That's their leadoff with the fast legs.
**[13:20] Ura**
So their outfield is iron-tight, too...
**[13:22] Txt**
Shortstop
***SIGN*** Nagai
***SIGN*** Kimura
**[13:22] Moto**
If they can catch a ball like that,
we won't get any hits.
**[13:27] Dai**
Don't worry about it!
**[13:29] Dai**
We can now tell what pitch is coming,
based on the fielders' body language.
**[13:32] Dai**
This battle has just begun!
**[13:33] Ann**
Batting fifth, third baseman,
***SIGN*** Third baseman
***SIGN*** Ariyoshi
**[13:35] Ann**
Ariyoshi-kun.
**[13:37] Ari**
* So if they're crouched*
* down, it's a fastball,*
**[13:41] Ari**
*and if they're not, it's a slow one.*
**[13:44] Ari**
*Slow ball!*
**[13:46] Ari**
*And a slow ball it is!*
**[13:52] Ump**
Out!
**[13:55] Ann**
Batting sixth, left fielder,
***SIGN*** Left fielder
***SIGN*** Kishimoto
**[13:58] Ann**
Kishimoto-kun.
**[14:01] Ump**
Strike! Batter out!
***SIGN*** First baseman
***SIGN*** Matsubara
**[14:03] Ump**
Strike! Batter out!
**[14:05] Ump**
Three outs! Change sides!
**[14:19] Dai**
* Knowing what pitch was coming*
* basically changed nothing.*
**[14:22] Dai**
* Other than Hikaru, nobody else*
* got clean hits on either type of pitch.*
**[14:27] Dai**
* On top of that, under Manager Komori,*
* the Beetles have an ironclad defense.*
***SIGN*** Nijigaoka
***SIGN*** Mifune
**[14:31] Dai**
* With the score at two to nothing,*
* we're heading into the final stages.*
**[14:36] Ump**
Ball.
**[14:37] Ump**
Ball four!
**[14:38] Nij**
All right! Okegawa's on base!
**[14:40] Naka**
No outs, runner on first!
**[14:42] Kom**
* After scoring two runs in the first,*
* I thought we'd rack up runs easily,*
**[14:45] Kom**
*but Urabe-kun's giving it his all out there.*
**[14:48] Kom**
* But his weakness is his lack of stamina,*
* and his control has started failing him.*
**[14:53] Kom**
* Since our lineup's good this inning,*
* we'll add some insurance runs.*
**[14:56] Ann**
Batting second, shortstop,
**[14:58] Ann**
Ageo-kun.
**[14:59] Ura**
*This guy's gonna try to steal again.*
**[15:02] Ura**
* With Shigeno's arm, the throw he did in*
* the first inning is the best he can offer.*
**[15:08] Ump**
Safe!
**[15:10] Ura**
* I've gotta keep trying to pick him off*
* and delay his start as much as possible.*
**[15:20] Fuj**
Good job, Urabe!
**[15:21] Fuj**
Make him fight for it!
**[15:28] Ump**
Ball!
**[15:33] Gramp**
This is bad.
**[15:34] Gramp**
His control was already shaky this inning,
**[15:37] Gramp**
but because his focus is on the
runners, he's hurrying his pitches.
**[15:41] Gramp**
Ball!
**[15:45] Coa**
Urabe, don't worry about the runner!
**[15:47] Coa**
There's no sense in walking the batter!
**[15:49] Coa**
Calm down and pitch freely!
**[15:56] Kom**
*Wait.*
**[16:02] Ump**
Ball three!
**[16:04] Hik**
Jeez... Are you all right, Tobe-kun?
**[16:08] Fuj**
Pull yourself together, Urabe!
**[16:10] Dai**
*What should I do?*
**[16:12] Dai**
*Should I call a timeout?*
**[16:14] Dai**
* But I'm in no position to tell him*
* I won't let them steal,*
**[16:18] Dai**
*or to try and calm him down.*
**[16:21] Ura**
Damn it.
**[16:24] Ump**
Ball!
**[16:25] Ump**
Ball four!
**[16:31] Gram**
Wasn't that a strike just now?
**[16:34] Gram**
The umpire's a bit harsh, don't you think?
**[16:37] Gramp**
No, that was probably Daigo's fault
more than it was the umpire's.
**[16:42] Fuj**
Hey, Tashiro! This game's over
if we give up any more runs.
**[16:46] Fuj**
We've got Satou as
a fully-fledged relief pitcher.
**[16:49] Fuj**
Urabe's exhausted. We should make
the switch sooner rather than later.
**[16:53] Coa**
You're right.
**[16:55] Coa**
We should make a switch.
**[16:57] Coa**
But not the pitcher. The catcher.
**[17:00] Fuj**
The catcher?!
**[17:02] Coa**
Andy, you know I don't
really want to risk you,
**[17:05] Coa**
but this is an emergency.
**[17:06] Coa**
Sorry about this, but can you play?
**[17:09] And**
Sure.
**[17:11] And**
I mean, if we lose here, getting back
to full fitness won't matter much, anyway.
**[17:15] Coa**
Time out!
**[17:26] Sak**
Huh?
**[17:27] Hik**
Daigo-kun's going off?
**[17:30] Gramp**
So he noticed, after all.
**[17:32] Coa**
I can tell you're tired, Urabe,
but you're not at your limit yet.
**[17:36] Coa**
Daigo's the one who has reached his limit.
**[17:40] Dai**
What?
**[17:41] Tam**
What?
**[17:42] Tam**
He's switching out the
catcher, not the pitcher?
**[17:46] Gram**
Really?
**[17:47] Gram**
They're going to switch out Daigo-chan,
when the pitcher walked two batters?
**[17:53] Dai**
Why am I getting switched out?
**[17:57] Coa**
It's been on my mind since last inning,
but it looks like you haven't noticed yet.
**[18:04] Coa**
We wouldn't have walked those two batters
if you'd caught the ball properly.
**[18:09] Dai**
Huh?
**[18:11] Coa**
On the riskier pitches, you haven't been
catching the ball with proper framing.
**[18:16] Coa**
You only used your hand, and after that,
you let the mitt move and shake.
**[18:21] Coa**
We can't really blame the umpire
for calling them as balls.
**[18:25] Coa**
It's your first game as catcher, and the
nerves and constant focus have you beat.
**[18:30] Coa**
A catcher who can't catch properly
anymore must be switched out.
**[18:38] Ump**
Are you swapping someone out?
**[18:39] Coa**
Yes, sorry.
**[18:40] Coa**
But I want you to replace
Kishimoto in left field.
**[18:45] Coa**
There's no telling if Andy's leg will hold out.
**[18:49] Coa**
If I take you off the field entirely, I won't
have anyone left who can play catcher.
**[18:53] Dai**
Yes, sir!
**[18:55] Coa**
Kishimoto!
**[18:56] Ish**
Huh?
**[18:58] Kom**
* Naturally, as Tashiro-san*
* used to play catcher himself,*
**[19:01] Kom**
*he noticed Daigo-kun was playing badly.*
**[19:06] Kom**
* He was left out of the starting lineup*
* because his leg is injured.*
**[19:10] Kom**
* But if you're on the field,*
* we'll push you as hard as we can.*
**[19:18] Kis**
Aw, man, I got swapped out
as collateral damage.
**[19:22] Kis**
I guess I struck out twice,
so I can't really complain.
**[19:25] Kid**
What do you mean you can't complain?!
**[19:27] Kid**
Why the heck are those three
newcomers still out there,
**[19:29] Kid**
when we've been benched despite
being on the team for three years?!
**[19:33] Ishi**
Sorry, but don't lump me in with you.
**[19:35] Ishi**
I'm in the starting lineup.
**[19:39] Gramp**
So they put Daigo out into left field.
**[19:44] Dai**
*I didn't notice at all.*
**[19:47] Dai**
* Even though Satou-san had*
* stressed how important framing was.*
**[19:51] Dai**
* Without noticing,*
* because of my exhaustion,*
**[19:53] Dai**
* I reverted to lazily grabbing at*
* the ball without moving my body.*
**[19:58] Dai**
* Just by catching the ball wrong,*
* I was holding the pitcher back...*
**[20:03] Ump**
Play!
**[20:05] Fuj**
Is Andy's leg really okay?
**[20:07] Fuj**
Will he be able to put any
force through it if he needs to?
**[20:11] Coa**
I told him not to push himself too hard.
**[20:13] Coa**
I just hope our opponents get intimidated
by Andy's arm and stop running so freely.
**[20:23] Ump**
Strike!
**[20:27] And**
Nice one!
**[20:30] And**
*We gave away back-to-back walks.*
**[20:32] And**
* They must want to go easy*
* now and do a sacrifice bunt.*
**[20:36] And**
*Don't sweat it, Urabe.*
**[20:37] And**
* Dead center's just fine.*
* We're going to corner them!*
**[20:44] Ump**
Strike two!
**[20:45] Coa**
All right!
**[20:47] Gramp**
I see.
**[20:48] Gramp**
So he's their regular catcher.
**[20:50] Gramp**
Their synchronization's a cut above.
**[20:53] Gramp**
Of course, he's also more skilled
in the position than Daigo.
**[20:57] Gramp**
If the catcher has a strong
arm and good technique,
**[21:01] Gramp**
the pitcher can throw
without a care in the world.
**[21:05] Ump**
Ball.
**[21:07] And**
Okay, okay!
**[21:09] Gramp**
But that's not all.
**[21:11] Gramp**
A battery has a synchronization to it.
You can't get that in just a couple of days.
**[21:17] Gramp**
Their throws to each other,
the signs they use...
**[21:19] Gramp**
the considerate act of cleaning
the ball and talking to the pitcher...
**[21:25] Gramp**
A long-term synchronization with the catcher
**[21:28] Gramp**
calms the pitcher and gives him courage
in a tight spot.
**[21:36] Coa**
He's running!
**[21:37] Fuj**
It's a hit and run!
**[21:39] Ad**
Wha—
**[21:39] Ump**
Strike! Out!
**[21:40] Fuj**
He missed!
**[21:41] Kom**
A pitchout?!
**[21:45] Ump**
Out.
**[21:49] Fuj**
Nice, Andy!
**[21:52] Ura**
Yeah! A double play!
**[21:57] Hik**
Nice!
**[21:58] Kom**
*They got us.*
**[21:59] Kom**
* I didn't expect him to have the*
* courage to waste a pitch there.*
**[22:04] Dai**
*Wow!*
**[22:06] Dai**
*So that's a real catcher?*
**[22:09] And**
Two outs!
**[22:12] Tam**
Hmph, not bad.
**[22:18] Ann**
Batting fourth, pitcher,
**[22:20] Ann**
Tamaki-kun.
**[24:01] Dai**
The game has reached the closing stages!
**[24:03] Dai**
What? Sakura made an error?
**[24:05] Dai**
No, it was a trap our
opponents set for us.
**[24:09] Dai**
Curse them for playing dirty!
**[24:12] Dai**
We're going to pull together as a team
and turn this game around, no matter what!
**[24:17] Dai**
This is a no-holds-barred match now!
***SIGN*** All-Out Battle
**[24:20] Dai**
Next time: "All-Out Battle!"
**[24:22] Dai**
Run to the stage of your dreams!
