Heibi said: Just confirmed that there are only 13 episodes with Newtype July. NO REALLY? :( it should have 26 episodes because we'll have to wait 2 years until a new season!! ( maybe) btw, when are the subs of the episode 11 coming out? :O |
| Just watched the raw, and i guess they are doomed now, and yea 13 episodes make sense coz i guess they'll lose here, especially because they have seen through the coach's sign. And Tajima actually did better than i've expected, except he coudn't concentrate on both batting and being the catcher at the same time. Not as intense as the last episode, but still great XD |
| NOOOOOOOOO! Not only does it look like they're going to lose, but now it's only 13 episodes. This is terrible. |
| Man, that episode went fast. I find it funny that the pitcher got slightly intimidated by a batter making a weird face. I also love Abe getting mad over all of this. I can't wait for next week. |

FUCK. 13 eps and now I'm doubting Nishiura can manage to win this tournament. It's like.. LOOK! 2 runs! Christ, they can't manage to give up more runs either. Tajima takes the spotlight now, I like him MORE BETTER this time. Also, Nishihiro, welcomes his first at-bat, which unfortunately failed. I hope he can contribute to his team. |
| well it looks like the opposing catcher is falling apart, that's about the only ray of hope I see for them atm. especially if they don't figure out soon that their signs are being stolen. I know its unrealistic of me, but I can't really respect a team that even wants to steal signs :/ Hope Mihashi starts shaking off signs on his own at some point and that it pays off. he could use the confidence boost and I think it might help his relationship with Abe too. with only 13 episodes, I'm expecting them to lose next episode with 13 as the aftermath :( |
| Just perfect as usual. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Another great episode. Though the outcome of the game isn't looking too good. Poor Tajima's brain can't concentrate on batting now that he has to take of the pitcher position too. Still, I'm looking really forward to the last 2 episodes. |
 |
| Damn that preview teasing me... argh... what'll happens in next game ? (don't give me spoiler, bro.) And from what I heard they have enough material for 26 episode but not have good "checkpoint" to stop, that why this season only run for 13 eps. But I guess on next year we already have S3 |
 |
| Argh, I've been on the edge of my seat the hole time! Oh god, it's not looking good for them at all @A@. Nishiura!!!! GO!!! |
 |
| Go, go, Nishiura! Or at least I want to say that, but it looks that they will lose. Anyways, still hoping for the win. |

But I guess on next year we already have S3 That would be great. Even if they don't win, this game has given the players a lot of important experience, not the least Abe and Mihashi. I really hope they will start to work more on an even ground from now on. Mihashi losing control of his pitches when he goes full force was expected, I just hope he can up his speed without losing too much control to the next Koushien. |
 And on the edge of sanity I stumble and fall. |
| I'm glad to see Mihashi relying more on himself... Tajima is a really fast learner. Despite the data overload, he is able to call the pitches relatively well. Will Momo-kan be able to find out that her signs are being stolen?!? Sad to see that the anime is ending soon, and this sorta confirms that Nishiura will lose (in addition to the foreboding next episode preview), and the last episode will be some reflections and wrapping up. I love to see the series continue next time, but I am no longer sure of how the story will go, since there's no Koushien for Nishiura this time... I'm no manga reader; I'm guessing they'll continue into their 2nd and 3rd years... |

| Baseball's not really a popular sport in my country so i'm not really sure but is stealing signs common/normal in baseball? Considering the coaches give signs kind of openly? |

Well, stealing signs is a winning tactic as well. I'd been wondering why no one had tried it before. No team would like to lose, and Sayama's just using everything they have. Even thought it may look like it, I don't really know if calling it "cheating" would be the term. But I definitely would be peeved about it if I were in Momo-kan's place. Nishiura had better gear up! I really want to see Mihashi shake off a sign and throw according to his own calculations! 2 more eps only.. :'( S3 had better air soon!! |

| It really doesn't look all too well for our boys now that they also stole Momo-kan signs D: I hope they figure out a way to win anyway, I don't want them to lose >': GO NISHIURA! The expressions in this anime are just epic XD Got me laughing hard over and over again :DD And Abe will go with hyper recovery now, lol. <3 I really hope they'll make S3, it would be sad without Oofuri ;A; |
    |
| Looks like it will come down to how quickly Nishiura recognizes that the coach's signs have been stolen and adjusts to it. Given what happened to them earlier in the game, I don't think it will be too long. I do wonder who will be first to realize it. Tajima has tremendous awareness. Mihashi isn't too bad himself. But Abe's able to see it all from his vantage point, so I wouldn't be too surprise if he catches on first. Anyone wanting to read more about stealing signs in baseball and how that's looked upon and dealt with among those within the profession should check this out: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=kurkjian_tim&id=1857661 With two episodes left, S2 will definitely end with the conclusion to this game. At the same time I don't necessarily think that means that they'll lose. S1 ended with Nishiura winning their opening round game in the tournament against Tousei, so I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens at the end of S2. |

| What... please don't lose. Not like this. >< (Abe's out, makeshift catcher, signs stolen, suspicious Kurata) |
| I'm super frustrated that their signs are getting stolen. I hate how Nishiura loses the potential to win just because they've been studied too much. :/ ughh wish their batting lineup would be better. Even the best batters like Hanai and Tajima are not doing well.

| Waaa.. feels like they will lose :( |
| In this inning if Momoe doesn't figure out that her signs are being stolen I can clearly see that the victory goes to Bijou. :( |
| Sigh, this game seriously gives me anxiety. I'm so upset about the whole stealing signs thing but I guess I can understand. |
| I'm glad they didn't lose their motivation after Abe's injury. |
 |
| Wahhh 7-5!!!!! They still relaxed on this??? I'm so nervous already!! They understand sign of Momoe T------T |
 |
| I hope they won't lose this one! they have admirable team spirit! Keep working hard and don't give up guys! |
 |
| STRESS.. this episode was quite a ride. sakaeguchi, mizutani, hanai and izumi shining more this ep while tajima and mihashi is breaking a lil.. the other team also figured out some of momo's signs so thats.. Bad. real bad. i have a feeling they'll lose this game and im Not ready to see that so hoping im wrong |
