what happened to Alice's bodyguard after she left the hospital? and why couldn't they leave Alice in charge of the Bats while everyone else moved to New York?

Love Goro's entrance music too every last inning. And I laughed when Keane dodged Goro's hug.

You would think that such conservative parents would care more about what their daughter is wearing but guess it isn't that bad, although very ridiculous. Anyways, funny episode, loved Goro chilling with some fans (was half expecting him to sign something and have that bite him on the ass later . . . Of course that deal was just made so that she would get to see him again).

Wow, I just realized something. The bats are named after the animal, not after the bat for batter... I'm soooooo freaking retarded.
Also, Alice outfit makes me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The feel when a 7 year old have a girlfriend and you don't... But Goro can throw gyro at 155 km/h, CAN YOU DO THAT YOU STUPID BRAT?!?

Kean dodging Goro was hilarious. I'm starting to like his stiff character. He's that dude at each party that is very popular, yet, he don't know why nor he care.

That new ED is so damn cute :3

Great episode mostly. I really like the new ED.
Also, Gorou was performing well, I'd like for them to display his pitching speed.
It's been so long since Gorou pitched a whole game, he's hardly had to push himself this season compared to last.

There was entrance music? Guess I was so absorbed into this episode I didn't notice there was music playing, or maybe not.

They won the title!
I'm glad that they won't sell the team, it's sad when teams have to change cities.
Why can't they send him to a better hospital until he gets better, they don't have to move.

Wait, Alice is over 18, right? Like her staying in Memphis and running the Bats wasn't an obviosu option. -.-;

That aside, it was a pretty good episode. Alice was pretty cute as a kid, and Gorou's entrance music is as epic as ever.

Knowing Gorou, even if he's called up to the Majors now, I can't help but wonder if he might want to stay with the Bats through the playoffs.

Boom baby! Bats are division champions for the first time in 15 years! Loved seeing Goro collaborate with the locals. It gave a good authentic feel to the episode.

Yes, this episode was super cheesy, but the execution of the cheesiness was top notch.

it's not that i don't like character development, but alice were always the "simple" woman character, i would rather want an development episode of one of the other players, but its still was interesting character, though not only the solution for her situation were expected but used already 2-3 episodes ago...
i'm actually having trouble more with something else here - it's seems goro took something important in the end of the last episode after watching jibson, and here in this episode it seemed he achieved his control, i would actually loved more if they would show that than "everyone dreams", but then again, it was nice episode.

Strange how nobody not even her own parents has reacted to Alice's 'chearleader' outfit lol.

I kinda want to see the parents reaction in case the team lost again instead of winning with the fans going mad.

Classic story about parents and children.
It's good that this didn't happen in the first season, otherwise someone would have died.

I know I shouldn't expect much from U.S. geography in anime, but the talk Alice had with her parents about Nashville being so far away when it's like a three hour drive from Memphis is funny.

Mainly considering how last episode, Goro and his teammates went "out for a cruise" to see an Indiana Hornets game. Assuming they're based in Indianapolis, that's over 7 hours away!! How is that a "cruise" if half the distance is considered far?

I was interested when I found out at the beginning of the season that Goro was playing for the Memphis Bats, but ultimately no significant factors point to the team being specifically in Memphis. At least the episode was the first to implement some stuff, like no palm trees and them eating BBQ.
