Strike out!
You did it!
The Bats have finally gotten to first place in the Eastern Division!
Shigeno recorded his 19th save!
That's exactly what I'd expect from you,
Goro-kun.
Hello, this is Sato.
This is Araki.
Coach Araki.
Could you stop by the coach's office for a bit?
Sato.
Put on the starter's mask tomorrow.
Yes, sir!
Yatabe said that his hip isn't feeling good.
I want him to rest tomorrow.
I'm expecting great things from you,
Golden Rookie.
Yes, sir!
Excuse me.
Goro-kun...
I won't lose either!
All right!
It's finally time for the game against the number one team in runs: the Rockets!
We'll win with a bang, and then we'll be on our way to the championship at full speed!
Yeah!
At this rate, we'll win by a wide margin and make the playoffs!
You idiot!
Every year, we go into a lull in the summer and lose our grasp on victory!
Don't forget that we need to concentrate on every single game!
We know that!
You're noisy, Sergeant.
What do you mean by "you're noisy"!?
If you idiots play badly, I won't forgive you!
Hey, damn you! Are you listening?
Hey, everyone!
Do you have a minute?
Allow me to introduce a new member.
He's been promoted from Double A today. This is the newcomer, Keane.
You guys should know about him too.
He was drafted number one by our Indiana Hornets this year;
he's the golden rookie catcher!
In no time at all, he's already risen to Triple A!
This guy's a catcher, huh?
Nice to meet you, rookie!
Nice to meet you.
We've heard the rumors about you.
You're supposed to have an incredible throwing arm.
Golden rookie, eh?
So then, I'm sorry, Sanders.
I'll have you moved to the bench.
Keane is a golden egg.
I've been told directly by the Hornets' General Manager...
to build up his experience in real games and prepare him carefully for the Majors.
Since you've got tons of experience,
make sure to thoroughly advise him however you can!
You got it, right?
Yes, sir.
Becoming a bench player after making it all the way here...
What a pity, Sergeant.
Don't say that.
In this world, it can happen to anyone.
Yo, Keane!
Um, well, I was thinking...
I thought that maybe I should explain a little...
about Carlisle, the starting pitcher today.
He's a pitcher with lots of bad habits, but...
if you can get the knack of him, it'll work out.
I'll get the knack of controlling him.
Excuse me.
I have a lot of things that I need to do before the game.
What's with him?
Out!
Strike out!
Out!
Amazing!
The starting pitcher, Carlisle, is in really good shape right from the start today!
He's in good shape thanks to Keane.
So that's it!
He's pulling out Carlisle's strong points! It's what's to be expected!
Ball!
Out!
You did it!
Incredible, incredible!
I'm surprised!
What an amazing arm he's got!
Ball! Ball four!
Now hitting, number 7: Jeff Keane!
Play!
You did it!
Three-run homer!
Hey, hey, that rookie is too amazing!
Showing up with all that hype wasn't for nothing.
Even if I'm not in there,
if the team can win, then that's enough.
Attention please, pitching, number 56:
Goro Shigeno!
Goro! Go, Goro!
It's the Bats' expectation-ladened rookie battery!
You...
seem to only have fastballs.
Yeah, so you don't need to do any signs or pre-battle strategies.
It's enough if you point approximately where I should throw.
I don't know how you've been doing things up till today, but...
I'll have you pitch according to my lead today.
Even if you only have fastballs,
if you pitch according to how I say, I can figure something out.
What was that?
Hey!
That bastard! Even though he's a newcomer, he's got such a big mouth!
Now hitting, number 8: Fisher!
Play!
It doesn't matter if it's a ball.
Throw it outside.
You're annoying.
Despite how I look,
I've piled up 19 saves. I'm the Bats'...
guardian deity, don't you know!
Oh no!
No outs and a runner on first!
Damn it! He was aiming for it!
I told you to pitch it outside, so why did you pitch it inside?
If you can't pitch according to my lead,
then either you or I need to step down.
W-What?
W-What?
This is a free fansub.
Not for sale or rent.
Are you going to pitch according to my lead or not?
Which is it?
If you aren't,
then I don't need to catch your pitches.
Then one of us will just go to the bench.
What kind of bullshit are you talking, punk?
I don't know anything about you being a golden rookie or whatever,
but I've got my own way of doing things!
Who was the one who allowed a runner on with no outs by doing things his own way?
Number 2, Fisher, takes his time if there's a runner,
but if there aren't any runners, he's the type to swing at the first pitch.
Also, according to the stats, he's strong against inside pitches.
To think that you'd...
immediately ignore my instructions...
and use an ill-advised inside pitch...
In the first place, you don't have the numbers to be convincing.
Numbers?
Goro Shigeno.
Two wins, three losses, 19 saves.
The number of saves is good, I'll give you that, but your earned run average is 3.26.
Your opponent's batting average is .370.
If you compare them with closers on other baseball teams,
they aren't numbers to brag about.
The only thing you can brag about is...
your strike out ratio of 13.25 per nine.
Why you!
How can you know all that when you were just promoted to Triple A today!?
I got it from the score sheets, isn't that obvious?
Well...
I have the stats memorized...
of the important players in this league, at least.
Furthermore,
I inputted the stats of all the players from both teams before the game...
and analyzed it myself.
As a result,
today's starting pitcher, Carlisle, managed to go all the way to the eighth inning without giving up a run because of my lead.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Don't just stand there and babble forever!
I'm sorry, I'll return now.
If you understand,
pitch according to my lead.
If by a one in a million chance you get hit,
I'll take all the responsibility.
Now hitting, number 3: Cervantes.
Play!
No outs and a runner on first base with a three-run lead...
Shigeno-kun, do your best!
This guy has a batting average of .300, but...
he's been having trouble with pitches that are low this season.
For the first pitch,
throw it low and inside!
Shut up!
I've formed a battery with Toshiya, Komori,
and many other catchers up till now, but...
this is the first time I've been with such a single-minded and annoying catcher!
I don't know how important you say stats are, but...
Sanders does a way better job as a catcher than you!
Ball!
I see.
So that's how you'll play.
That was dangerous!
Yet another pitch against the lead!
We've got a three-run lead.
Don't be petty and selfish about how you want to lead!
What are you doing, Keane?
Hurry and go pick it up!
Did he lose sight of the ball?
Why, you!
Geez, what are they doing?
Damn it!
You bastard!
You didn't catch it on purpose, right?
In what world does the catcher allow a passed ball on purpose?
Throw it to the place that I say.
If you do that,
I'll catch it.
Y-You!
Y-You!
Hey, you two!
W-What are you two doing?
Stop it!
What are the rookies fighting over?
That married couple is getting hot already!
I see.
I got it.
Then let's do this.
For the time being, I'll pitch according to your commands.
If you can get us through this inning without any earned runs being scored,
then I will listen to everything you say without complaining from now on.
But if you let them score even one run,
never try to give me orders again!
No, rather,
when I'm pitching, turn the catcher's mask...
over to Sanders!
I'll never form a battery with you again.
W-What are you saying, Shigeno?
That's not something you guys can deci-
Very well.
I also refuse to work with a monkey who doesn't listen to the catcher and acts like he's the boss.
And you, if you lose this bet,
never talk back to me again.
There are only three more outs left; why are you dawdling!?
Hurry up and end this!
Go, Goro!
Play!
I successfully fooled him into accepting those bad terms.
It's the clean-up hitter with no outs and a runner on third.
No matter who's pitching, the probability that the opponents will score is high!
Well then, what kind of pitch are you going to request?
What?
He's walking him!?
This guy...
What in the world is he thinking?
I'm not responsible for this!
Ball!
Ball! Ball four!
Now hitting, number 9: Aaron.
I-I don't get this.
I-I don't get this.
Even if he made a bet with Shigeno, there's a three-run difference!
If you concentrate on winning the game,
you shouldn't bother with whether the runner on third scores or not.
I don't see the meaning in amassing runners...
Consecutive walks!?
Wait a minute!
What's he thinking?
Intentionally putting the tying runner on base...
What is he doing?
What's with him!?
I've never heard of such an absurd tactic!
Stop screwing around!
It can't be that...
because of his bet with me he's trying this sink-or-swim tactic?
Time, time!
You bastard!
Let's stop this!
Let's stop this stupid bet!
You intend to throw away the game just because of one run?
What are you talking about?
I'm not planning on throwing away the game.
What?
Anyway, do as I say until the end.
If you stop here,
the plan will be ruined.
What are those two talking about?
That's what I want to ask!
Ball! Ball four!
What do you mean, "plan"? I'm not responsible for this!
I don't understand this.
I've never heard of such a plan.
Come on, this is bad for business!
If we lose here, the customers will be mad!
That Keane... What is he planning?
Now hitting, number 2: Bennett.
Damn it!
You're underestimating me!
Play!
He's really pumped up!
If he hits a big one, they'll take the lead.
Come on, you brat!
Number 3, Cervantes, is a .300 hitter.
Number 4, Aaron, has a batting average of .400 with runners in scoring position.
If we're going to challenge them,
it's got to be him, number 5!
He's an archetypical clumsy and selfish long distance "cannon."
And he's got such a short temper that he's been ejected four times in three years.
He hits .190 with runners in scoring position.
Also, he's gone one for ten with the bases loaded this season,
and...
his batting average against pitches low and inside is...
no more than .067!
And he just saw us walk the two before him to load the bases...
to challenge him.
The likelihood that he'll hit the runners home, strained with anger,
is almost exactly zero!
Back home!
Out!
Out!
To first!
Out! Out!
Game over!
Amazing!
A triple play... seriously?
A triple play... seriously?
This is unbelievable!
It can't be...
He can't have been aiming for the triple play the whole time.
You did it!
Triple play!
Yay!
That was too awesome!
I won the bet.
Never disobey me again.
Thanks to Keane, the Bats continue moving forward.
It's true that your statistical baseball is incredible.
But...
we pitchers...
aren't your tools!
Next time, on Major:
Keane's Past.
Run to the stage of your dreams!
