Haha, Goro clearly can't handle both baseball and a girlfriend at the same time. I Lol'ed when he got the phone call to go to LA because I knew he was going to leave Shimizu behind.

Damn, did Goro have to be a couple with HER? All she's going to do now is cause more drama, slow down Goro, and make episodes drag on. Sigh, why couldn't they just stay friends? :(

Because it's ridiculously stupid in all of these sports anime series when the relationship NEVER progresses. This is a fresh of breath air compared to certain other shows I shall not bother naming.

I think exactly the same,the perfect example of that is Hajime no Ippo, hipo like Kumi and she like him and years after they are only good friends... Hajime no Ippo and Major are sports animes because of that have 11 episodes for trainings, 11 episodes for games and 4 episodes for personnel life but in that 4 episodes is important show the progresses of personnel life, in that case major is beter than Hajime no Ippo but is not perfect.

But have other genera of animes with this problem :(.

she should dump him, he's obviously a terrible boyfriend with no interest in improving.

It was cute, but poor Shimizu. She was left behind just like that... Goro is such a jerk.

I didn't like Goro at all in this episode. he truly needs to get dumped just to find out how valuable she is to him. Hes a horrible boyfriend. kicking her out? in a country she knows nothing about. like wtf? If he would have told me to get out I would have packed my things, chucked up the deuces and went straight back to the airport. he was an asshole to her when he could have just explained himself. grrrrrr!

Waiiiit he's saying that he can live under the same ROOF as her because he loves her?! LOL That's taking the whole "old-fashioned" thing too far. Same bed yeah but same suite shouldn't be that much of a deal. LOL he actually left her alone in Miami (or wherever she was)

Cool to see the golden battery back together.

Well that was an interesting turn of events. I honestly thought that they just forgot about Shimizu there, but glad they remembered to throw in that predictable joke at the end, really wanted to see it. Poor Shimizu.

Wouldn't it be nice if Shimizu searches a career as a softball player in there? I don't live in America and I don't have any information about this, but it's better if she finds something she can accomplish than wasting her time while waiting for Gorou all the time.

I knew that he had forgotten someone behind... xD
Goro just can't take care of his girlfriend. That's gonna be one hell of a challenge for Shimizu to tame him :P

The part with Shimizu driving shenanigans was hilarious. Talk about bad luck when you end up in the creepy abandoned motel.

As I thought, the forkball pitcher is injured. It's up to Goro to take the lead. He also seem to do great in the major. I didn't thought he would be right away the first pitcher!

I agree.

I don't think Goro is ready for the nationals yet, I would have preferred if he went 4 years later but guess not.

It's nice to see Shimizu in America with him, but what is she going to do there?
He was called to the Japan team due to a injury of a pitcher, he was lucky, let's see him challenge the World!

Refusing to let your girlfriend crash on the couch in your home country apartment because you dpn't believe in that is one thing. But in a foreign country? When you're the only person there that she knows? Gorou should have let her stay imo. It's not like she was trying to get in bed with him.

He could have just explained himself from the start rather than literally dragging her out of the room (lol), at that.

...Then he just takes off without saying anything. Poor Shimizu; she has every right to be upset.

Here comes the World Cup, I guess. My initial guess is that Japan will make it to the finals and have a close game, but will ultimately end up failing to win.

Lol,the notice at the end.

This call to LA came kinda unexpected,but I'm glad that things are staying interesting.

I don't blame Goro getting annoyed with Shimizu. The guy is playing for a job to play in the MAJOR LEAGUES. Having your girl around within the same hemisphere is just a bad idea. I'd want to be left alone. Although.. him saying it was because he is old fashioned when it comes to a girl he likes staying under the same roof as him is just.. odd. I mean, your in a foreign country, dude. Set your ethics aside and just let the women crash on the couch.

With Goro going to LA.. what was he supposed to do? Shimizu doesn't have a cell phone, so how else would he let her know? I thought she'd be a bit more understanding.. Goro is going to be way more hard headed considering the atmosphere he is right now anyway.

Shimizu loves that jerk too much lol. Well at least she can be sure that he will not cheat on her with another woman.

Hold on Goro's boss is called Stacey?! uhm thats a very .. uhm .. manly name...

I can't believe Kaoru actually went to America to just stay close to Goro without any other plan especially with Goro having to be serious to get into the Major League with no time to spare.

Also feels sudden how Goro joins the team as we haven't seen him practice that much.

Lmao I just realized that the team name is HORNETS. Which explains why Masanobu Hatta, who was the animation producer for SynergySP’s adaptation of Major, named his studio HORNETS after departing from SynergySP in 2013.
