Oh dear, time for Egashira to make his appearance again. This could be bad for Goro.

Oh man, creepy dude is back, and yeah it is obvious he is up to no good. However I doubt his intention is to "crush Shigeno fairly through baseball". . . If he wanted to do that he would have brought out the first string. So you gotta wonder what he is planning to do. Also it is annoying that Shigeno is still trying to play as a one man team.

Evil glasses-kun can't let it go. MFW when you are bitter against a child.

Shimizu little brother is a little brat. Just like Goro is :P
To have been a Kaido scholarship holder, he must be pretty freaking good. That's something Goro didn't even achieved.

It's kinda funny that Ayane end up being the manager of her nemesis team x)

Already against Kaido. I have a feeling they can't win.

Goro actually said "Beat us" and not "Beat me".

Looks like he's finaly more of a teamplayer (even if it's just a little).

I really like Shimizu's little brother..and Ayane joined Seishuu too haha.
Wish at least one more experienced junior high player joined, this team is so dysfunctional.

So the new member is Shimizu's younger brother, that's cool.
Their first game is against Kaido's second team, I'm afraid that Goro will be injured,that opening is too obvious.

Didn't really expect Kaido to be the first opponent. Following the previous matches, either something will happen to Goro and the morale because of Egashima, or they'll win by will and luck like always.

It's good to know that the team will be somewhat competent this time. They'll probably still have a lot of room to improve.

Oh crap, I completely forgot that Shimizu had a little brother. They only showed him one time in season one that I remember. To think he turned out to be such a great baseball player in his own right. My best guess is that he's like Gorou and would rather challenge Kaidou than join them. Being able to hit that gyroball is pretty crazy for his age though. Is he a prodigy or something? I have to agree that Taiga seems like a great name though.

With that gap filled and the unique training method used by the coaches, being competitive at a high level doesn't seem entirely impossible/unbelievable now. It's a stretch, but not too far I guess.

Going against Kaidou's second string would usually be something I'd consider good since it would show how much more Seishuu needs to improve, but considering how Egashima is being played up as more and more villainous as time goes on, it honestly wouldn't surprise me if he intentionally tries to injure Gorou during the game.

It's kinda interesting to have Ayane join as a manager too since she's in love with Toshiya.

New characters are always a reason to get hyped in sports anime and now a match against Kaidos second string,that's awesome.

Majors time skips are such great executed.

Got the feeling Goro didnt improve himself since he just had to find a new team and to train those beginners.

Oh daaamn already the second team of Kaido. Thats going to be intense, hopefully not frustrating.

Its good to see some new and old faces.
My only regret is having regrets!

I don't think Goro thinks of baseball as one man sport, but thinks of it like a pitcher would. If he pitches well, they shouldn't get runs off him, but if he's doing horribly the team will lose because of him. Sure fielders and batters are important, but the pitch is what determines the game. If the pitcher is good he can make it so the other team doesn't score at least not easily, but if he's bad he'll throw so many easy pitches that the other team will get tons of runs. Goro wants to be a pitcher that can shutdown the opponent, and not let his pitches lead to runs. All pitchers aim to be the Ace pitcher, which is the only position to even be called an ace in baseball. The ace should be able to carry the team with strong pitching.

i like how before the game they thought of practice strategy, its just make this more interesting.
shimizu's little brother seems like a good piece in their team, and toshi's girl came to seishuu to make things more interesting i believe.
egarishe don't seem to stop thinking sabout taking goro as a star, wonder how seishuu will work out this game.

Shimizu's little brother Taiga is a nice addition to the team but I find it a bit unbelievable that he managed to hit Goro's gyro ball at the third pitch which not even Kaido's players could do as only some of them at the third pitch hit it as a foul. Hopefully its just Goro holding back a bit.
