----------------------------------------
Not the best episode I've seen from this show but it's a solid start for the Dolphins vs Touto Boys matchup.

I love how Michiru motivated Komatsu with a lil' flirting. She was really cute there.

Poor Hikaru, having to deal with scratched glasses and pitch at the same time. Glad Nagai helped him out after a bit, and put the team ahead of himself. Baseball is a team game after all.

I'm excited for that next episode. Want to see more of these two teams collide :)

Honestly Michiru is becoming my favourite character now.

I can't decide whether I like Sakura or Michiru more.

Nagai did the right thing when he gave Hikaru his glasses.
Lol, that coach is sleeping, what a professional.

Touto Boys are seriously underestimating the Dolphins team (their coach sleeping through the game). Hopefully, Michiru is forced to pitch in the next episode.

I was a bit worried for Hikaru but he seems to have a number of secret weapons up his sleeve.

Nagai was a real team player putting what's best for the team before his own self interest. After all, baseball is a team sport.

The next episode is aptly named. I look forward to watching the Daigo/Hikaru battery.

Sakura is just a Kaoru clone and a cheap ripoff

That should help you decide

Decent start to the match. I didn't really care for the glasses problem at the beginning but good for Nagai stepping up and giving his. The other team's coach sleeping the whole time is frustrating to watch. I hope next episode they get some good momentum going to wake his old ass up.

I'm interested to see what additional tricks Hikaru has up his sleeve. I doubt it's a breaking ball most likely more changes with his positioning. Looking forward to the next ep.

Had me laugh how Touto's coach was greatly underestimating them, this is pro coach for you and Komori should take a lesson from this!. Unlike other matches I've seen, this had some relaxed moment with that new pitcher and Michiru's character is really really something to watch.

Oh god, that scene with Komatsu and Michiru ... so wrong O_O
Michiru really knows how to trick the boys.
Wonder what other tricks Hikaru has.

Kaoru is the best girl in entire show so her copy definitely great. Tho mutsuko kinda different than her. She is more shy type than tsundere kaoru

not that i have any problem with that, but 'till now every team have some kind of "secret weapon", it feels to me like they are making kids with too tricks on their sleeves, i'm not sure if kids in reality have that...

tatou too much underestimate the dolphins.

and where we saw that scene with the glasses again? S3? anyway it was good that hikaru didn't changed position, but why they don't learn to bring replacement glasses??

the scene with michiru was wrong with many ways.

and nagai finally become less selfish.

this game looks awesome so far, wonder if this will be the last game or they will play against that team at the end.

Touto Boys team are more relaxed and goofy than I expected especially with the old coach taking a nap. Nagai has redeemed himself here by putting the team above himself by lending his glasses to Hikaru.
