Oh, I'm so glad that Goro is finally acknowledging the fact that he needs some other pitches to throw. Even if it is definitely going to be hard (well, if it was anyone but Goro!) to learn different pitches with his left hand. =)

...I have to say, I'm a little surprised that Goro took defeat so easily this episode. Maybe he's finally maturing a little?

Triple play, totally awesome! Don't see that everyday of the week. Gotta love Goro's optimism. The flashbacks to when he was young were great. Sometimes I forget that this is quite a timespan for our hero. Nice to be reminded once in awhile.

I'm with faust here, finally a new pitch!
I'm glad that he was downgraded to the minors actually, it felt like it was going a bit too fast there : ).

Thanks De-Jay for my claim picture : ).

Catching a line dirve with your throwing hand? Rofl, no freakin' way, seriously. Either his hand would be BROKE or he'd be in extreme pain and unable to pitch. Eh, whatever though.

I'm glad he got booted back to the minors. You can't just throw fastballs, no matter how good you are.

Oh finally, he has started to realise that he ain't going nowhere above without more than his fast balls. At first I was thinking that the majors wasn't all that great as well till they started hitting continuously.
It'll be hard though, being right handed and having to throw balls other than straight ones.
Gotta say the difference between Triple A and Major League is quite big. Can't wait till he finally reaches the majors through his own effort and abilities (: But then again, it's already quite good having jumped to triple A straight after tryouts ((: as expected of Goro.

Oh, and maybe Goro should practice batting as well, seeing as he's been missing since the tryouts. Even at the tryouts he barely hit anything so yeah.

I love the ED song omgggg.

Wow! I finally notice the extreme character development Goro went through. That's pretty awesome. He went from this arrogant high school brat to a decently mature baseball player who's not afraid to lose.

So he is going to try-out some breaking balls he just started pitching earlier that morning? Isn't that . . . Well dangerous? Anyways when he had the flash back it kind of made me miss season one, hate to say it but still think that was my favorite season by far.

It's really nice to see that Gorou is not superpowered in this season.

Yeah, it was the obvious outcome for Goro, with just a fastball, without a perfect control. He just wasn't ready, when you were comparing him with Sanchez. But it's okay, he's still so young.

Also, he showed the will to learn a breaking ball. This is good news!

Since when was Goro that bad at batting? Was he even looking where he was swinging..?

I hope he learns English soon...

He played his first game in the Majors but lost, he's down to Minors again but he seems to be motivated enough,that's good.

Or maybe he couldn't hit because the MAJOR pitcher was too good compared to the high school tier players he played against?

One thing I noticed was that the animation forgot to include the homerun the opponents got and it remained 2:0


Good to see Goro kicked back to Minors. It wouldn't be too fun if the got to Major that easily. Plus we need plot for two more seasons after this!

It's interesting to see Gorou in an environment where he's not particularly... well, noteworthy. He's a decent player, but not a great one-- let alone the monster he was in Japanese high school baseball. Both his pitching and batting need improvement.

Still, Triple A isn't bad at all for a start.

Epic episode! Goro is growing up. He finally realises that he has to train even more to get a place in the rooster of the major league.

The flashback was nostalgic.
Yeeeaaah, Goro is going to have a breaking ball.

That season feels so good. Freaking love Major!

Back to the Minors and climbing up the wall from the very beginning. Thats what I wanted to see.
My only regret is having regrets!

I really loved the fact that they didn't put him in the major for permeant, after the last episode that goro learned it's not his place yet.
and goro FINALLY going to be more than fastball pitcher, I waited for that 3 seasons!

To the Minor League! Felt weird how he got sent to Majors so quickly, but now seeing it was meant temporarily for him to learn some valuable lessons (like finally learning that he can't do fastballs only and needs to do some breaking balls dammit) makes sense now.
