| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The audience is just loving this game lol A highlight of the match imo was that collision from Seiko's team though. That really looked nasty from the position, speed, and impact....damn. Seriously though, it's almost pretty much a desperate move. This match so far imo is living up to the hype. Very exciting! |

| F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All those injuries flags on Miyuki! WHY?!?!?! Why did they have to go this route :/ Really loving Tsune's personality and all. He's a great and formidable opponent but F*** HIM!! If this caused an injury on Miyuki that will effect him in the long term. Really didn't expect this to go into extra innings. Tsune's unstoppable O_o Great to see Sawamura is playing well tho. If Miyuki's injury isn't serious this should be fun. |
 |
| YES YES YES! The bunt king is back! |
| That amazing return throw and brutal collision. Damnit, if Miyuki's injured... I suppose it'll be an opportunity for the pitchers to grow some more, but please don't let it last. The episode started out rather little stilted, but at least it came back to good form for that. How long will these extra innings hold? |
| Obvious injury flag is obvious. Seing the preview for next week, he's going to force it too :/ |
| That Miyuki stare after the tackle was just epic. I really hope he isn't injured. |
 |
DON'T MESS WITH MY MIYUKI |
| I guess the buster posey rule dont apply in japan eh, or maybe when this ep's manga was drawn it wasnt established yet, else he would definitely have been ejected for the catcher tackle. |
| How do I signature? |
| That Seiko person should've at least gotten some sort of penalty. Pisses me off. Miyuki's most likely injured now, Furuya got injured again, I wonder what seido is going to do if they win this and go to finals. Like that's their ace and captain. |

| Seido is barely managing to hold on in their defensive game, while their offensive is pretty much still getting shut down quite fast which is hardly a good thing. An unexpected hit from one other than Miyuki would awesome - Sawamura hits a home run! But things are looking quite grim for Seido, as every Seiko's batters are quite the threat. |
 |
| Seriously he totally sent Miyuki flying there oO I'm surprised he wasn't penalized ... Even if they don't know if Miyuki is injured or not, that was way too dangerous |
| WAS SAWAMURA USEFULL? IF NOT GONNA SKIP THIS EP AGAIN |
| Cty Best mid |
| Every episode with Eijun pitching is a 5/5 !! |
GSupernova said: Why the hell didn't Tsune get penalized for that bull rush at home plate? He wasn't even close to making it before Miyuki had the ball in his mitt but he still went home. He should have been the reason his team lost. I'm worried that they will actually win this because of that bs. Lyrisia said: Seriously he totally sent Miyuki flying there oO I'm surprised he wasn't penalized ... Even if they don't know if Miyuki is injured or not, that was way too dangerous If the catcher is blocking home plate, the runner is allowed to "run through him" to get to home plate. But it basically allows him to try to dislodge the ball from the catchers glove to they won't be called out. In America, the rule has been changed since it could lead to injuries. But this was written before the rule change, and in Japan no less. So what he did was completely legal. |
| Tsune was quite awesome in this episode, the guy is definitely pro material... |
| That out on pickoff by Sawamura was amazing. I could never see it coming. |
| Been waiting for that collision ever since the OP hinted at it. Doesn't look good for Miyuki's shoulder with this + the hit by pitch earlier. |
| I was really hoping Sawamura would get a hit this game... Ever since he hit Furuyas pitch I've been waiting for him to do it in an actual game. Didn't expect this game to go extra innings but now that it has I hope it doesn't go for too long. |

KishinAshura said: are you guys serious? the highlight of this episode is Sawamura's throw to 1st ( the runner) at the start of the episode. Ikr, highlight of the first half of the episode was definitely Eijun's amazing pick off! No one could've expected him to pull it off so perfectly, especially how focused he seemed to on the batter. He's really grown so much (yes I've said this a billion times), I still remember that fail pick off in the beginning of the serious, lol. Also, that amazing dive for the bunt, anyone? Eijun is extremely focused in the match. I guess while Furuya's great performance on the mound made Eijun overthink, it also made Eijun calm down at the same time. MsChii said: Gotta love that "Shi Shi Shi" between him and Higasa! That was pretty funny XD I feel like there's a point to Eijun being a buntmaster, I mean Toujou was pretty surprised at Eijun immediately making contact with the ball even with his advice to Eijun. But maybe Eijun will forever be only successful at bunting... Ugh, Tsune ramming into Miyuki...I can see why they changed the rule in America, because Miyuki is definitely not uninjured after that football tackle (in addition to the pitch to his shoulder blade by Tsune...). I loved that look Miyuki gave Tsune though after being taken down. Just like you, Tsune, Miyuki is unwilling to give up. |
| ...does Ogawa think he's playing football? What was up with Miyuki at the end? Seems kind of ominous. |

Yea exactly, the rule was changed after the 2011 MLB season when Buster Posey, catcher for the san francisco giants had a serious injury after colliding at home plate, ending his season and also the Giant's chance at offseason. The new rule was called the Posey Rule after that where the catcher have to open a basepath for the runner unless he needs to be there to make a catch. The manga chapter was written before it was established, so home plate collision was very common and runners often try to tackle the catcher instead of going after the homeplate. Here's the incident which causes the home plate collision rule change. |

KishinAshura said: are you guys serious? the highlight of this episode is Sawamura's throw to 1st ( the runner) at the start of the episode. i don't like the end of the episode showing Miyuki's face like he's hurting they better let him continue. i freaking froze when i saw it happen. Both are amazing, but I think the collision are more intense because Miyuki could get injured because of that (so the tension was much higher). The scene past pretty quickly during Sawamura's throw to the first base (well I think there's no need to make it over dramatic for throwing it to the base anyway) so I didn't feel as much as the collision but I still gotta emphasize though, Sawamura is amazing in this episode. |
 |
| I can see more tilting from Sawamura and maybe a little happy injury from Miyuki. Good route! |
 |
| I love how there was all this build-up for Sawamura going against the batter and then, out of nowhere, he just nonchalantly throws it to first base. I figured out he was gonna do that, but it was still hilarious as fuck. |

| Miyuki is not gonna be ok, that's obvious. But let's hope it's for a short while. :| |
| OMG is Seido going to win??? T______T |
| Ah! Good episode ! |

Thanks for the explanation :) Figured it was kinda allowed though I still didn't understand why he could just run through him like that ^^" |
| Damn, I really hope that injury isn't as serious as the show is making it seem. Finals will be the next day, and it's gonna really suck to not have Miyuki at 100%. |
| American baseball is more aggressive and individualistic though. I'm not sure there's an equivalent of the Posey Rule (or need for it?) ... it's a different baseball culture. (The Japanese play Japanese baseball.) Saying that, I thought Miyuki was going to snap at him! He looks okay for now so Seiko gets off with a scolding... it definitely should've been a penalty. :/ sheidesu said: MIYUKI HAS BEEN UNLEASHED. Can someone make a gif for it? |

| That collision... that's why I hate retards. Can never anticipate when they'll be violent. His character doesn't make any sense either. A fat guy that isn't serious at all about training, is somehow a very good pitcher (why not), agile and fast (woot?) and super endurent (pitching 7 innings and not breaking a sweat)... I call bullshit. All that to instaure drama about the final. My take on the future is that : * lose / win finals, can't say which because both are plausible ; first choice is logic, second choice is shounen logic. * Kataoka will leave the team * The team will have a very harsh winter season * After Spring, Kataoka will be like "Daddy's home!" and they'll win Summer with the new talented first years that'll arrive (Tetsu's brother and the two brats who came scouting earlier) |
| Shoot I hope Miyuki isn't too beat up. Man that is unfortunate |
| Good episode, hard collision. Really going to affect overtime. |

| Fuck Seiko Go die in a hole, especially the ugly ass pitcher with ugly ass eyebrows I am so mad, I am ready to drop this Anime Why is Seido being so weak against this shitty ass team Now, Miyuki's injured. Extra innings with this shitty ass team. Onto next ep. |
| Miyuki's glare op |
| Okay, i get it Tsune wasn't penalized but i really think his own team should have taken him off the mount to show him that's not how the game is played. But instead they tell him "we understand why you did it". What kind of bullshit is that, i hate this team the most. |
| I was like "stfu fatty" by the end of the episode and glad the episode agreed with me.. kinda. Nobody gives a shit about your weak ass resolution of "baseball wasn't fun until I fought the protagonist". They really made this fatass as nimble as Sawamura, jeez the suspension of disbelief that I needed to have to get through this match is unreal. Hopefully Seido doesn't lose to plot. |

| Nice work by Eijun in this episode. Tsune is retarded for tackling Miyuki. |

| OHMYGOD MIYUKIIIIII 😭 |
