Welp, I liked a lot of the plays this episode like the sliding. The match slowed down somewhat though but still well adapted.

One other thing I liked is the team spirit of both teams. Not bad.

The most important inning next episode!
Mei's change-up completely stopping Seido's offense again :/

Ryo and Youichi! Really starting to like them especially Youichi. To not abandon his partner and to cover him no mater what. That was a really epic save that kept them in the game! Furuya's fast return was also pretty nice.

Wonder how Mei would play in an all serious mode! Looking forward to the next episode where Seido really has to score. Always getting the outs they need after filling the three bases. A rainbow appearing after a storm!

Gosh what a play from Kuramochi.

And I get that Tanba is awesome and all, but I wanna see Eijun pitch...

Another intense episode! Furuya's monster toss to home base was amazing, got me so hyped. xD That scene with Ryou missing the catch but Kuramochi came to back him up was amazing. Ryou and Kuramochi make a great duo indeed. :D Tanba's still going strong too which is great. Looks like next episode will be even more intense!

Almost cried when Kuramochi caught the ball that Ryousuke missed ;_; It was that epic and symbolic in a way of their friendship. Could barely breath at that scene.

And daaamn Furuya, that was an intense (and kind of aggressive) throw to home. Isashiki thought so too and said at least let it bounce once! But his ulterior motive behind that throw was basically trying to get Tanba back into shape (again).

Also Mei getting piiiissed. Like for real this time. Truly not a good sign, Chris doesn't think so either.

I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD CATCH IT. PARTNERS---!!!

Mei's pissed! Chris noticed! Hopefully they can make use of that. I really want Seido to go to Koshien!
And exciting as always, this series doesn't disappoint. Hope Ryo-san will make it through the game, but I don't think he'll be playing in the next one at this rate.

Of course Eijun will pitch. His turn will come, they can't go through a huge final and not have Eijun participate.

I get the symbolism and all, but aren't you guys missing the point here? Ryosuke absolutely can't go on anymore and is dragging the team down at this point. That catch was pure luck, nothing else. Unless he comes off soon, Seido is losing this game and they'll lose badly.... also, judging by the preview Sawamura is probably coming on next episode, possibly at the end of the episode.

Good episode,now okay Ryo has done everything he can but he must not play anymore,not only because is dragging the team down but for his own sake,from my point of view he must sit on the bench.

I don't know this episode didn't have the tension of the previous ones.

Wooooooaaaaahhhh!

When the ball flew past Ryo I was on the verge of tears, and then Kuramochi Appears and saves it! Brilliant play!!

I agree with you guys tough, they should change Ryo out, for the team and himself.

Also Seido needs to get a run soon. Having the main team in a tight spot is only intense and exiting until it makes you frustrated, and I'm on the edge now.
The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being.

I agree. The whole time I was hoping that Ryo will be replaced by his little brother. It was indeed a nice save from Kuramochi but if this will continue he will indeed dragged down the team..

Great episode. Had me hyped! My heart was beating so fast when Ryou missed the ball I was like "nooooooo" then Kuramochi!!! "YESSSS" lol I was so happy. Ryou is definitely having a hard time keeping up and although I understand his passion for wanting to play it's about that time to sit it out, and have faith in your teammates. He can always heal and come back. I'm afraid that it may get to the point where he can no longer return.

This was actually nice - Kuramochi saved the game for Seido. I don't know if Seido is going to win in the end, but if they do - it would be because of this man. No doubt that there's the teamwork - working and reliable, but it would be nice to have the game holding also on the expected unexpected along with monstrous personal skills.

Ryo shouldn't be obstinate about his injure any more, I guess.

This one really turned me upside down.
I really think Kominato brother couldnt catch it and they will lose this one but
it was not.
I swear i hold my breath for just a moment in that slow motion.

Do they have someone better on the bench though?

What a nice save Kuramochi! I put my hand on my head and thought that game was over when Ryosuke missed that one ><

Wow! Why is Furuya so amazing in this game?! He's always been a great player, but he really stands out here. And with his personality a little too, encouraging his teammates.

That play with Kuramochi and Ryo was amazing too, I was so surprised! But wish they would sub out Ryo already. I'm going to be so mad if he screws up again. You can tell his batting & running isn't in top form at least.

I am very disappointed by him. He realized his injury is affecting his performance. He already gave a run to the opponent and now he almost gave another two runs and yet he insist on playing.
He should have stopped when he realized he is compromising the team but instead he is being selfish. He should go to the coach and ask to be changed. His behavior is unacceptable.

This. He's pretty much screwing the team over by playing with his injury. Should've sat this one out rather than play and risk making a mistake due to his injury which would cost them the game. The fact that he's still playing is beyond me.

Shit, that was close, but they were able to prevent Inashiro from scoring in this inning. Kuramochi and Kominato are a damn nice duo.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I got a question is only Furuya going to bat and play field? I swear him and Eijun sucked at it and they both were getting better? Why don’t sawamura get in game fielding experience too? It just shows even more every episode how far away Furuya is in skill set. And if Furuya gets to be ace over suwamura then is he only going to be strictly reliever? Because I don’t feel like watching him do nothing all season lol.

Like every pitcher bats and plays field sometimes and I feel like they seem more part of the first string team then sawamura. Yes kurakami or however you spell it is relief pitcher too but at least he gets to field and bat as well.

Are people finally going to notice Ryo's injury?

I also agree with one of the comments below that they should use Eijun's bunts. They need anything they can get to win.

Mei is always upset lmao

Tanba’s starting to make mistakes

So, will we see Eijun doing anything other than cheering?

OH GOD KURAMOCHI SAVED THAT. I THOUGHT THE BALL WAS GONE.
