Holy, shit that's a lot of strikeouts this episode. I really like the way the music was handled though. Eijun's pitches definitely improved with power. That's right, "NICE ONE!"

To make it into the big leagues though, they're probably going to need more than just skill even practcing 200 pitches a day. Tense/5

That pitcher is on a whole other level than Sawamura and Furuya. His ball control is top notch. Plus the team was practicing to hit High speed pitches. They're going to have to use Sawamura's unpredictable pitch pattern for the next game.

Good episode. I can't wait for the game to start. Hopefully they adapt the game well from the manga. But I doubt Production I.G. and Madhouse will disappoint.

I like Shunshin's character, though he may appear uptight, he's just that passionate about baseball.

Yeung has really great control on his pitches. Looks like Furuya is not used to the hot weather. Hopefully he can get used to it.

Build-up time. It's going to be a good match: precision v speedy & sawamura.

The heat's going to be a major problem, making Furuya the second Seido pitcher with a critical issue.

Wow, impressive ball control by that glasses guy. His ball control somewhat reminds me of Mihashi in Ookiku.

Good episode, a nice set up for the upcoming game. Of course something will happen with Furuya and the weather :/ I really don't want it too but that will give Eijun a chance to pitch. I hope Seido will come out victorious in the next game, it'll definitely be a tough one!

I love how Shunshin doesn't see much in Furuya's pitches since he's right. All Furuya has atm is speed, unlike Shunshin who also has control. He will be a deadly opponent for Seidou. And it's just like Miyuki to notice that the heat is even worse for Furuya solely because he's never had to experience such hot weather. Poor guy, there's really nothing you can do about it since you can't adapt that quickly. Anyways, this will finally be Seidou's very first challenge for the summer tournament!

I'm impressed with Shun's passion for baseball! His team is great in a way. It's going to be a tough game, zettai! Hyped! I'm hinting a more screen time on the pitcher's mound for Eijun? I hope!

Tetsuya in this episode was so cool. (人´∀`*)

Subtracting Sawamura prominence as always.
Heat, heat. It will be difficult to Furuya, and Shun it's throwing accurately but especially with passion. I just hope that soon Sawamura stands out more because nobody takes him seriously.

Damn. Looks like Furuya's body isn't too adapted to the weather yet. He should be back soon enough, but with this, Sawamura will have a better chance now since Tanba is not in his perfect form yet.

Also loved that they anticipated Shunshin to not throw in the middle, but they are so wrong. The next fight is going to be interesting.

It is good to see that a worthy opponent for Seido is up next.

It is also hilarious that Eijun can sense when people are ignoring them. If only he knew that being underestimated is the great strength of any underdog/dark horse. I hope he shocks the heck out of this (well-written character) Clockwork Pitcher.

Eijun and Furuya can learn a thing or two from Shanchen and his amazing control over the ball.

You know... Furuya not accustomed to the incredibly hot summers of Tokyo as he's from the cold Hokkaido... You know will definitely pose for some problems.

The new pitcher is fascinating! I love how each pitcher has their own distinct pitch. However, the team appears to be lacking in good batters.

Owada is a giant. I also agree with her, people with glasses are something else.

Eijun is deadly (harming people with it lmao) with his pitch. He still has a long way to go.

Damn, I had no idea Satoru wasn't used to the heat. I presume he's from somewhere with cold weather?
