Nice pitch~

And that's what I would also call the plays so far for this match. I'm somewhat impressed by the Ace's skills though. Also, is it just me or is Todoroki's laugh kinda contagious?! Anyways, cliffhanger.

Next week doesn't seem like there will be an episode...sigh.

Totally. I think it's one of the best laughs I've heard in anime.

Seriously, Ohsaka Ryouta is amazing. I cannot not laugh every time Sawamura does/says something funny.

Hope Sawamura is not going to be switched out as planned!

Sawamura shutting everybody down like a boss. But Raichi really is the most badass character so far, I can't wait to see him bat.

Lol'd @ upgraded ver. of Sawamura.

Does anyone know what's the song that plays at 4.53?

Anyway, Sawamura is hilarious honestly, I can't find him annoying. I wonder if he will be switched? Perhaps with Tanba?
Dat damn cliffhanger though.

^same ahaha

dat cliffhanger tho! I'm just reeling with dif scenarios! imo I think that Raichi is gonna hit it out of the park or nab a triple REGARDLESS.

I hope to see Tanba relieving in this game eventually! And I feel like Sanada is gonna shut down Tetsu (i really hope not tho)

ahh, fingers crossed for an epi next week!

Lol yeaaah gotta agree on that one. I can take it if Eijun does it just once (when he says osu three times in a row), but then when he does it twice or three times I'm like ._. Don't get me wrong, I still love Eijun and Ohsaka Ryota...

Anyways, Eijun's been doing a great job keeping Yakushi from scoring any runs, and as those reporters said, he's hasn't let the rival team score since the Akikawa game! Amazing :) But it was also a sad moment when Miyuki was shut down by Sanada, people had so much hope in him. Yet at least Miyuki confirmed what type of pitch Sanada had.

I love Sawamura. But here I am hoping that he will be switched out. I have a bad feeling that Raichi will get a hit from him. I'm scared everytime Raichi is at bat. He is just a beast.

Sanada is quite the badass with his sharp and cutting throws! Completely stopping Seido's strong batting line up.
I still prefer Sawamura's style of being random. If the pitcher can't understand how the ball would move, the batter would be in the same circumstances.
Sawamura is doing a great job as a pitcher. The boss should switch Sawamura out. Kill the momentum so Yakushi won't be able to learn the pitcher. Relay it! The last second does imply it!
Raichi is quite the monster. I doubt he would get strike out again since that would make the match less intense. Maybe Tanba is pitching now! That would be a shock compared to using Kawakami!

Completely agree! The sound effects, soundtrack and all OPs and EDs have been spot on!

Madhouse sure knows how to do cliffhangers. So there won't be an ep next week? Well, I gave in a long time ago and read the manga. Do not regret it one bit and am still looking forward to each episode every week.

"Strike! Batter out!"

Really Awesome!! This match is on fire >.<!!

Lol'd at the conversation between Raichi and his dad saying he's an idiot in front of all those people and Raichi saying it's in the genes XD

Sanada's cutters were really nice to see. He really reminds me of Miyuki in the way he acts XD And the way he won against Miyuki was awesome. And lol'd as usual at how easily Eijun was striked out XD I didn't like that creepy grin he did after batting. He totally figured out Eijun's pitch.

Friggin Love seeing Eijun on a role. He just owns so much :D Love it XD This really is a tough one for Kataoka though. I fear for Eijun nxt week :O. I doubt he's gonna be switched out Raichi will definitely win this round though :/. But Eijun's stats right now are epic. He hasn't lost one run in like forever ^^

And really love Yakushi's coach. The dude is hilarious XD How he made fun of Tanba's head and how he told them he'll never ask to do bunts. BA dude is BA ^^

Looks like Sawamura is going to be switched out now... and yes, the osh osh osh is getting annoying now.

I bet the ace Sanada has some sort of injury or rather the technique of his puts pressure into his hands or something that he only goes late.

At the very last moment someone was stepping in, i really hope it is Tanba. They focused a lot on his childhood friend, he was also sent into the bullpen, and i don't think they would play the same card (sending Tanba to the bullpen to scare the opponent but not using him after all) again.

Sawamura is stupid as always, +2 points to the show. :D

The comedic timing of this show is more often than not swing and miss, but there are few things better than Sawamura's "revenge".
Rewound, replayed, and relol'd.

+1 Todoroki's (stupid♥) laugh

Miyuki and Sanada giving the same grin at that one moment, they almost look like twins. Sanada is one hot man. Goddangit, I knew the ball would give a double play!

Sanada has some impressive pitching skills.

That was a nicely timed bunt.

I’m guessing that Eijun will continue pitching.

So I haven’t watched the whole episode but if sawamura isn’t switched out next episode it means they don’t care about him being figured out.

I am kinda of confused about them making a big deal out of the opponent team's ace. He only succeeds in keeping the game at a standstill.
