<b>In the three consecutive games between the Bugaboos, led by strategist Manager Shirooka, and the Lycaons,</b>

01:28.880 --> 01:35.470
<b>the Lycaons lost the first game due to a stolen home plate by the foreigner Johnson.</b>

01:34.860 --> 01:38.280
<b>Episode</b>

01:34.860 --> 01:38.280
<b>World's Fastest Man</b>

01:42.930 --> 01:43.630
<b>Ideguchi.</b>

01:44.920 --> 01:45.890
<b>Don't be so discouraged.</b>

01:47.840 --> 01:48.630
<b>Kojima-san.</b>

01:49.790 --> 01:50.820
<b>That was an accident today.</b>

01:51.410 --> 01:54.050
<b>It couldn't have been helped; We didn't have data on Johnson beforehand.</b>

01:55.890 --> 01:56.800
<b>He's very fast.</b>

01:57.430 --> 02:01.320
<b>I've never seen a man who can run that fast before.</b>

02:04.990 --> 02:08.310
<b>Manager Shirooka is talking about that foreigner on TV.</b>

02:09.020 --> 02:11.710
<b>But Johnson's running speed is really incredible.</b>

02:12.250 --> 02:14.100
<b>Which team did he play for previously?</b>

02:15.100 --> 02:19.240
<b>He wasn't originally a baseball player. He was a track and field athlete.</b>

02:20.090 --> 02:21.270
<b>That's surprising!</b>

02:20.570 --> 02:24.330
<b>{Actor: Lycaon's player}Originally a track runner? He's not a baseball player?</b>

02:25.000 --> 02:26.950
<b>{Actor: Lycaon's player}No wonder he runs so fast.</b>

02:25.810 --> 02:27.830
<b>{Actor: Shirooka}There's not a lot I can say.</b>

02:28.460 --> 02:32.190
<b>But I can say this: He's the world's fastest baseball runner.</b>

02:33.720 --> 02:37.590
<b>After Johnson's play today, it should be clear to everyone.</b>

02:38.050 --> 02:41.840
<b>Base stealing can be used as a formidable weapon.</b>

02:42.400 --> 02:46.040
<b>Especially against pitchers like Tokuchi.</b>

02:47.430 --> 02:53.470
<b>Johnson reached the home plate from a lead off third base in only 2.6 seconds.</b>

02:53.760 --> 02:58.730
<b>2.6 seconds? Last year's stolen base champion, the Fingers' Itou, needed 3 seconds.</b>

02:59.170 --> 03:02.100
<b>How incredible is 2.6 seconds?</b>

03:02.360 --> 03:07.600
<b>Let me demonstrate using Tokuchi as the pitcher and a runner on third base.</b>

03:08.090 --> 03:11.470
<b>From start to home plate, Johnson used 2.6 seconds.</b>

03:11.810 --> 03:19.390
<b>At the same time, Tokuchi, who doesn't have a quick pitch, spends 1.38 seconds from the start of his pitching motion until the ball leaves his hand.</b>

03:20.330 --> 03:26.090
<b>Moreover, with Tokuchi's 120 km/h pitching speed, it takes 0.56 seconds to reach the catcher's glove from release.</b>

03:26.530 --> 03:28.720
<b>At this point, 1.94 seconds has been used.</b>

03:29.240 --> 03:33.900
<b>If the batter hits a grounder here, Johnson can easily run home.</b>

03:34.540 --> 03:36.620
<b>There is a way to prevent this from happening.</b>

03:37.010 --> 03:39.750
<b>That is, to pitch very far away from the strike zone.</b>

03:39.850 --> 03:43.670
<b>In this case, it's a matter of the catcher's ability to touch the runner.</b>

03:45.110 --> 03:48.910
<b>In today's game, when Johnson was stealing home plate in the sixth inning,</b>

03:49.380 --> 03:57.170
<b>Ideguchi, who caught the ball out of the strike zone, took 0.69 seconds to touch Johnson.</b>

03:57.960 --> 04:01.670
<b>I think everyone should understand what I mean by now.</b>

04:02.980 --> 04:09.180
<b>From the start of Tokuchi's pitching motion until Ideguchi touched the runner, a total of 2.63 seconds is used.</b>

04:11.380 --> 04:19.690
<b>That means when Tokuchi is the pitcher, the probability of Johnson successfully stealing home plate is 100%.</b>

04:21.270 --> 04:24.900
<b>Now, let us replay the highlights of today's game again.</b>

04:29.160 --> 04:35.170
<b>The first of three games between the Lycaons and the Bugaboos ended with a win for the Bugaboos, who scored a run first.</b>

04:36.820 --> 04:38.710
<b>Is he challenging Tokuchi?</b>

04:40.630 --> 04:42.660
<b>Contact Tokuchi right away.</b>

04:43.710 --> 04:48.430
<b>The rate for tomorrow's game will be multiplied by 20.</b>

04:49.950 --> 04:54.950
<b>In the second game between the Lycaons and the Bugaboos, the Lycaons' starting pitcher is Kinoshita.</b>

04:55.530 --> 04:59.210
<b>The Bugaboos are starting with left-handed sidearm pitcher, Ninomiya.</b>

04:59.970 --> 05:05.850
<b>The centre of attention today is the duel between Tokuchi, who had become a spot relief pitcher,</b>

05:06.320 --> 05:12.810
<b>and the Bugaboos' new player, Johnson, who led his team to victory in yesterday's game with his incredible speed.</b>

05:13.820 --> 05:17.710
<b>Manager, speaking of Johnson, where did you find him?</b>

05:19.010 --> 05:23.710
<b>Three years ago, I had the opportunity to watch the Men's 100m in the USA Track and Field Championship.</b>

05:24.480 --> 05:31.230
<b>In that race, everyone was focused on Carrier, who was named "The World's Fastest Man".</b>

05:31.950 --> 05:36.730
<b>The world became ecstatic when Carrier broke the world record in the semi-final.</b>

05:39.690 --> 05:46.020
<b>But at that time, Shirooka's focus was not on Carrier.</b>

05:47.220 --> 05:51.840
<b>It was on the man who finished fifth in the semi-final and did not qualify for the final...</b>

05:53.010 --> 05:54.620
<b>...Dennis Johnson.</b>

05:56.160 --> 05:59.940
<b>It's true that Carrier beat all the other runners overwhelmingly in the semi-final.</b>

06:00.740 --> 06:08.590
<b>However, in the first 30m, it was Johnson who was in the lead.</b>

06:09.960 --> 06:17.490
<b>In other words, in a short distance like 30m, he is faster than the 100m world record holder.</b>

06:19.470 --> 06:23.310
<b>The distance between bases in a baseball diamond is 27.432m.</b>

06:24.450 --> 06:29.030
<b>That means he's the world's fastest base runner.</b>

06:30.550 --> 06:31.460
<b>It's a hit.</b>

06:31.720 --> 06:34.070
<b>Eighth batter, Mijima, hits it to the right outfield.</b>

06:34.410 --> 06:38.040
<b>With one out and runners on first and third, the Bugaboos have a chance to take the lead first.</b>

06:39.280 --> 06:41.440
<b>Manager Shirooka is making a move here.</b>

06:41.940 --> 06:44.550
<b>Player change. Johnson as pinch runner.</b>

06:47.550 --> 06:49.030
<b>Johnson has come on.</b>

06:49.030 --> 06:52.300
<b>Johnson has entered as the pinch runner for third base.</b>

06:53.790 --> 06:55.490
<b>Manager Mihara is also making a move.</b>

06:56.670 --> 07:00.060
<b>Pitching change with Tokuchi.</b>

07:00.560 --> 07:03.280
<b>It's Tokuchi. Tokuchi Toua.</b>

07:03.640 --> 07:11.450
<b>To counter the sprinter Johnson, the Lycaons are using the gambler Tokuchi Toua, who has yet to give up a run since his debut.</b>

07:12.650 --> 07:18.320
<b>In yesterday's interview, Manager Shirooka clearly stated that Tokuchi can't compete against Johnson.</b>

07:18.560 --> 07:21.610
<b>Just how does he plan on holding off Johnson? {can rephrase hold off}</b>

07:22.110 --> 07:23.580
<b>Look at Johnson...</b>

07:24.870 --> 07:29.340
<b>Incredible. Looks like he's taunting Tokuchi with a huge lead off.</b>

07:29.840 --> 07:31.090
<b>Hey, come on.</b>

07:31.780 --> 07:33.840
<b>Bastard, quit joking around.</b>

07:34.930 --> 07:37.250
<b>Tokuchi throws a pickoff attempt to third.</b>

07:37.330 --> 07:37.790
<b>Nice!</b>

07:40.090 --> 07:40.810
<b>Safe!</b>

07:41.630 --> 07:44.310
<b>Although Tokuchi threw a marvelous pickoff attempt, he's safe.</b>

07:44.830 --> 07:47.820
<b>It looks like that huge lead off is not a joke.</b>

07:48.560 --> 07:51.820
<b>Johnson is clearly aiming to steal home plate.</b>

07:52.410 --> 07:54.520
<b>Tokuchi is in the set.</b>

07:54.960 --> 07:56.330
<b>He started running!</b>

07:58.820 --> 07:59.860
<b>It's a squeeze play.</b>

08:00.430 --> 08:03.380
<b>But the battery noticed it.</b>

08:07.580 --> 08:08.800
<b>Safe.</b>

08:09.400 --> 08:10.600
<b>Tokuchi is beaten!</b>

08:10.830 --> 08:16.540
<b>At last, he has given up his first run as a professional!</b>

08:16.920 --> 08:19.010
<b>Yes!</b>

08:19.120 --> 08:22.040
<b>A run with 20 times the rate!</b>

08:23.440 --> 08:25.740
<b>1 billion yen! It's 1 billion yen!</b>

08:25.740 --> 08:29.250
<b>The close to 2.2 billion yen I owed suddenly became 1.2 billion yen!</b>

08:29.330 --> 08:29.850
<b>Yes.</b>

08:33.230 --> 08:34.610
<b>Good job, Johnson.</b>

08:34.610 --> 08:36.570
<b>Nice. You ran very fast.</b>

08:39.850 --> 08:43.630
<b>Do you find Tokuchi's last pitch a little strange?</b>

08:44.290 --> 08:47.130
<b>No, I didn't notice anything at all.</b>

08:49.730 --> 08:51.190
<b><i>Then, that's fine.</i></b>

08:51.880 --> 08:55.230
<b>Afterwards, Tokuchi was put on first base again.</b>

08:55.460 --> 09:04.660
<b>Although the next pitcher held off the ensuing batters easily and ended the inning, the players experienced a huge loss of morale.</b>

09:13.620 --> 09:16.010
<b>That Shirooka really is something.</b>

09:16.460 --> 09:17.550
<b>Using his tricks.</b>

09:18.520 --> 09:20.650
<b>He's a swindler with lots of tricks.</b>

09:21.850 --> 09:22.610
<b>Swindler?</b>

09:24.610 --> 09:27.740
<b>I just watched the video of the game and realized it.</b>

09:28.540 --> 09:31.210
<b>What he said yesterday was all a bluff.</b>

09:38.500 --> 09:42.770
<b>Generally, it's impossible to be 100% successful in stealing a home plate.</b>

09:44.330 --> 09:47.770
<b>It's true that Johnson only needs 2.6 seconds to run to home plate.</b>

09:48.420 --> 09:52.290
<b>And the time needed for us, the battery, to touch the runner is 2.63 seconds.</b>

09:53.790 --> 09:56.480
<b>He checked so thoroughly. Well done for him.</b>

09:57.410 --> 09:59.810
<b>So how is that a bluff?</b>

10:00.170 --> 10:03.280
<b>It's 2.63 seconds for us and 2.6 seconds for him.</b>

10:03.480 --> 10:06.840
<b>It's obvious that he can always steal home plate successfully.</b>

10:07.100 --> 10:09.940
<b>You have all been tricked.</b>

10:10.520 --> 10:11.530
<b>What do you mean?</b>

10:12.290 --> 10:21.180
<b>In a duel between the battery, which needs 2.63 seconds to touch the runner, and a runner, who needs 2.6 seconds to reach home with a lead,</b>

10:21.960 --> 10:23.580
<b>is it certain that the runner will win?</b>

10:24.880 --> 10:26.260
<b>The answer is no.</b>

10:27.630 --> 10:30.940
<b>To begin with, stealing home plate is different than running a short distance in track and field.</b>

10:31.750 --> 10:34.640
<b>It's not as simple as running from the start to the finish line.</b>

10:35.140 --> 10:38.480
<b>Aside from that, time is spent on another important factor here.</b>

10:39.730 --> 10:40.990
<b>The decision at the start.</b>

10:41.570 --> 10:43.740
<b>Run home or return to third base?</b>

10:44.390 --> 10:46.250
<b>It takes time to make that decision.</b>

10:46.740 --> 10:51.240
<b>The start in track simply means to begin running when the gunshot is heard.</b>

10:51.940 --> 10:57.520
<b>The reaction time between the gunshot sound and the movement of the body is approximately 0.15 seconds for the best runners.</b>

10:58.440 --> 11:00.260
<b>But it's different for stealing a home plate.</b>

11:00.650 --> 11:12.350
<b>To decide whether the pitcher's motion is a pickoff attempt or a pitch to the batter requires at least 0.2 seconds of thinking time for the best players.</b>

11:18.230 --> 11:21.800
<b>In reality, 2.8 seconds is needed.</b>

11:22.290 --> 11:26.500
<b>Wait a minute. How did he come home earlier then?</b>

11:26.830 --> 11:29.980
<b>He did come home faster than I was able to touch him.</b>

11:29.980 --> 11:31.410
<b>Watch the video.</b>

11:32.670 --> 11:34.980
<b>0.17 seconds?</b>

11:35.580 --> 11:37.700
<b>He didn't use 0.2 seconds.</b>

11:37.870 --> 11:39.750
<b>It's the same when I threw the pickoff attempt at third.</b>

11:40.320 --> 11:43.510
<b>How do you explain this 0.17 seconds?</b>

11:44.320 --> 11:49.310
<b>Could it be that he's a terrifying man with superbly fast reaction and judgment?</b>

11:51.210 --> 11:53.270
<b>You guys really are naive.</b>

11:53.450 --> 11:56.680
<b>Then how do you explain this logically?</b>

11:56.770 --> 11:59.640
<b>To prove my point, I set up a trap.</b>

12:00.750 --> 12:01.330
<b>A trap?</b>

12:01.500 --> 12:03.690
<b>The pitch that allowed him to steal earlier...</b>

12:04.420 --> 12:06.700
<b>was intentionally thrown differently than how I normally pitch.</b>

12:07.730 --> 12:09.920
<b>Typically, this will slightly confuse the runner.</b>

12:10.650 --> 12:17.950
<b>But when I threw the pitch with my usual pickoff attempt motion, his reaction was the same.</b>

12:18.360 --> 12:19.330
<b>That means...</b>

12:20.090 --> 12:25.970
<b>He already decided beforehand to return to third base on the first pitch and to dash home on the second pitch.</b>

12:27.140 --> 12:30.220
<b>He will react as soon as I start my motion.</b>

12:30.740 --> 12:33.890
<b>This will save the time needed to decide whether it's a pickoff attempt or a pitch.</b>

12:34.380 --> 12:36.230
<b>It will be the same as a start on the track.</b>

12:36.580 --> 12:42.030
<b>B-But if you didn't throw the second pitch to the batter and attempted another pickoff,</b>

12:42.670 --> 12:45.490
<b>he would be trapped between bases which could result in an out.</b>

12:46.090 --> 12:48.740
<b>Who would take the chance on this type of steal?</b>

12:49.190 --> 12:53.310
<b>Even if I threw to third base, he wouldn't be trapped.</b>

12:53.820 --> 12:56.000
<b>The opponent already thought of that.</b>

12:56.410 --> 12:57.370
<b>What are you saying?</b>

12:57.520 --> 13:04.460
<b>The main reason Johnson is able to steal home plate is not because I can't pitch quickly or Ideguchi is not good at touching the runner.</b>

13:04.530 --> 13:05.760
<b>What is it then?</b>

13:06.460 --> 13:07.850
<b>It's the defense at third.</b>

13:08.290 --> 13:09.590
<b>M-Me?</b>

13:10.290 --> 13:11.640
<b>Hold on, Tokuchi.</b>

13:11.990 --> 13:16.420
<b>Although Fujita only switched from being a left fielder to third baseman recently,</b>

13:16.490 --> 13:20.360
<b>he's the only player in the team with no errors in this season. That's...</b>

13:20.990 --> 13:23.110
<b>Why did he switch from being a left fielder recently?</b>

13:23.530 --> 13:28.160
<b>That's because my right leg was injured last season.</b>

13:28.580 --> 13:30.890
<b>That's your weakness.</b>

13:31.360 --> 13:36.920
<b>Because your right leg injury makes you unstable when you stand, it takes longer to throw the ball after you catch it.</b>

13:37.720 --> 13:42.920
<b>Shirooka probably noticed it when Fujita was practicing and took advantage of this.</b>

13:43.740 --> 13:47.640
<b>If I throw a pickoff attempt to third, it takes 0.7 seconds before the ball leaves my hand.</b>

13:48.360 --> 13:53.680
<b>From the mound to home plate is about the same distance as to third. A throw takes 0.56 seconds.</b>

13:54.390 --> 13:58.120
<b>Even for a skilled fielder, it takes 0.4 seconds to throw the ball after catching it.</b>

13:58.960 --> 14:01.170
<b>But Fujita probably needs 0.7 seconds now.</b>

14:01.610 --> 14:05.240
<b>If the ball is thrown to home at a speed of 130 km/h, 0.64 seconds is needed.</b>

14:05.840 --> 14:06.560
<b>So?</b>

14:06.830 --> 14:09.160
<b>A total of 2.6 seconds.</b>

14:10.010 --> 14:16.460
<b>If the time needed for Ideguchi to touch the runner is added on, Johnson's steal is absolutely unstoppable.</b>

14:17.300 --> 14:25.640
<b>Because Shirooka doesn't want us to realize this weakness, he purposely talked about the reason for the successful steal in yesterday's interview.</b>

14:25.710 --> 14:26.290
<b>Purposely?</b>

14:27.150 --> 14:29.680
<b>You typically don't reveal such an important tactic so casually.</b>

14:30.450 --> 14:32.350
<b>That's an iron rule of the game.</b>

14:33.270 --> 14:36.850
<b>But he kindly explained the details to the media.</b>

14:37.770 --> 14:43.770
<b>From his explanations, the focus is placed on the pitcher and the weakness at third base is neglected.</b>

14:44.530 --> 14:46.060
<b>Damn!</b>

14:46.970 --> 14:49.560
<b>It's hopeless at home and third base.</b>

14:49.810 --> 14:52.870
<b>In the end, we don't have a chance to win. Damn!</b>

14:54.870 --> 14:57.220
<b>But that's not right.</b>

14:58.330 --> 15:01.130
<b>The method to stop Johnson from reaching home is simple.</b>

15:02.000 --> 15:06.130
<b>If it's not possible at home plate or third base, then throw it between the two.</b>

15:07.430 --> 15:11.040
<b>When Johnson is the runner, the third baseman should move forward as much as possible.</b>

15:12.540 --> 15:14.310
<b>He can even stand in front of Johnson.</b>

15:14.980 --> 15:19.390
<b>Then the distance between the pitcher and third baseman and the distance between third baseman and home are shortened.</b>

15:20.870 --> 15:23.690
<b>Technically, it can be shortened to 0.5 seconds.</b>

15:23.780 --> 15:27.560
<b>I see. We can stop Johnson from stealing home plate this way.</b>

15:27.560 --> 15:28.770
<b>But it's too late now.</b>

15:29.860 --> 15:34.410
<b>Had I realized this sooner, we wouldn't have given up that run.</b>

15:34.970 --> 15:36.690
<b>We can't reverse that run.</b>

15:37.160 --> 15:39.870
<b>In the end, we fell for Shirooka's trap.</b>

15:41.170 --> 15:46.170
<b>You think that giving up one run means we're at a disadvantage?</b>

15:47.620 --> 15:51.850
<b>In Shogi, there are times when you would purposely give up your rook in order to win.</b>

15:53.430 --> 15:55.800
<b>The run given up earlier is that rook.</b>

15:56.090 --> 15:58.020
<b>It's a run I gave up purposely.</b>

15:58.730 --> 16:05.630
<b>Along with yesterday's game, they've seen home plate successfully stolen by Johnson twice.</b>

16:06.230 --> 16:09.030
<b>What do you think their thoughts are now?</b>

16:09.960 --> 16:13.840
<b>"Johnson's steal will probably be successful 8 to 9 times out of 10 tries."</b>

16:14.310 --> 16:15.280
<b>Is that right?</b>

16:15.770 --> 16:19.290
<b>Additionally, they will have very high expectations of Johnson.</b>

16:19.730 --> 16:24.540
<b>That run was for figuring out our opponents, a preparation needed for victory.</b>

16:24.940 --> 16:27.550
<b>He is... What a guy.</b>

16:28.040 --> 16:31.710
<b>It looks like the effect of the sacrificed run will appear right now.</b>

16:32.830 --> 16:38.310
<b>Bugaboos change of player announcement. Playing left field is Johnson.</b>

16:38.850 --> 16:43.330
<b>Not only did Manager Shirooka not replace Johnson, but he's actually being used to play left field.</b>

16:43.400 --> 16:45.590
<b>Johnson as the left fielder?</b>

16:45.940 --> 16:48.320
<b>This move must be more beneficial.</b>

16:48.910 --> 16:51.640
<b>His turn to bat is probably coming up in the next inning.</b>

16:52.050 --> 16:55.580
<b>Shirooka probably wants to score two more runs in the next inning.</b>

16:55.760 --> 17:01.620
<b>It's understandable to use him as a pinch runner, but he can't possibly be a good batter, right?</b>

17:01.750 --> 17:02.810
<b>Who knows?</b>

17:02.950 --> 17:05.210
<b>Did you see him practice today?</b>

17:05.810 --> 17:06.330
<b>No.</b>

17:07.430 --> 17:09.840
<b>He was practicing bunts at the side of the field.</b>

17:10.600 --> 17:11.230
<b>Bunts?</b>

17:11.590 --> 17:17.250
<b>Although they aren't that great, he was able to get all the balls to roll into the infield.</b>

17:18.260 --> 17:20.800
<b>This man is already the world's fastest base runner.</b>

17:20.970 --> 17:23.850
<b>If he can bunt in addition to that,</b>

17:24.440 --> 17:26.600
<b>there's no stopping him from getting on base.</b>

17:28.530 --> 17:30.110
<b>Don't be so discouraged.</b>

17:30.820 --> 17:35.620
<b>It's true that he is Shirooka's secret weapon trained for base running.</b>

17:36.340 --> 17:40.540
<b>On the other hand, he's a dangerous player that has flaws in all other areas.</b>

17:41.010 --> 17:42.870
<b>However, they're using him for defense.</b>

17:43.520 --> 17:46.360
<b>Which means they have high expectations of Johnson.</b>

17:48.690 --> 17:50.080
<b>Shirooka the Swindler.</b>

17:50.420 --> 17:52.940
<b>You have completely fallen into my trap.</b>

17:55.000 --> 17:57.990
<b>Although the Lycaons' batters are hitting towards the left outfield,</b>

17:58.430 --> 18:02.640
<b>they are taken care of by the Bugaboos' defense, who have shifted in the outfield.</b>

18:03.390 --> 18:06.140
<b>That means their left outfield defense is unstable.</b>

18:06.830 --> 18:08.730
<b>Hit the ball no matter what.</b>

18:08.970 --> 18:10.900
<b>If he misses the ball, run for second base.</b>

18:13.220 --> 18:14.250
<b>It's a hit.</b>

18:14.520 --> 18:18.550
<b>The ball is heading to an interesting position, between centre and left outfield.</b>

18:18.600 --> 18:19.680
<b>Yes!</b>

18:19.930 --> 18:22.410
<b>Run Ideguchi! To second base!</b>

18:22.800 --> 18:24.150
<b>Of course!</b>

18:26.290 --> 18:30.390
<b>It's caught. This hit which could have been an extra-base hit is caught by left fielder, Johnson.</b>

18:30.650 --> 18:33.090
<b>He used his speed skillfully. What a fine play!</b>

18:33.900 --> 18:34.810
<b>No way.</b>

18:37.420 --> 18:38.950
<b>It's a fluke, right?</b>

18:38.950 --> 18:43.070
<b>Yes, beginner's luck is kind of scary.</b>

18:43.220 --> 18:45.080
<b>There won't be a second time, right?</b>

18:45.080 --> 18:46.880
<b>No, definitely not.</b>

18:48.720 --> 18:51.050
<b>Why is he defending so deep into the field?</b>

18:54.170 --> 19:01.280
<b>Inomachi, choke up on the bat and hit the ball over the shortstop so it lands in the empty space in front of Johnson.</b>

19:01.330 --> 19:05.430
<b>I said, why is Johnson defending so deep into the field?</b>

19:05.610 --> 19:07.560
<b>There's probably no reason for that.</b>

19:07.720 --> 19:09.710
<b>Maybe he doesn't know where the left fielder stands?</b>

19:11.320 --> 19:12.620
<b>Inomachi hits it.</b>

19:12.700 --> 19:13.480
<b>Beautiful!</b>

19:13.810 --> 19:16.400
<b>It looks like the ball will land behind the shortstop.</b>

19:18.500 --> 19:19.960
<b>Johnson caught it.</b>

19:20.460 --> 19:23.470
<b>Johnson used his speed again. Another fine play!</b>

19:25.590 --> 19:27.980
<b>Although the opponent had pretty good judgment,</b>

19:28.660 --> 19:32.000
<b>too bad his defense isn't terrible either.</b>

19:33.060 --> 19:35.820
<b>The game went to the seventh inning without having another run scored.</b>

19:37.030 --> 19:42.220
<b>However, the Bugaboos' starting pitcher, Ninomiya, who has been doing well so far, is suddenly pitching disorderly.</b>

19:42.990 --> 19:45.320
<b>Ninomiya walked two batters consecutively.</b>

19:45.320 --> 19:46.660
<b>No outs and runners on first and second.</b>

19:46.660 --> 19:48.410
<b>Yes, it's our chance!</b>

19:48.750 --> 19:50.000
<b>Who's the next batter?</b>

19:50.390 --> 19:51.130
<b>Tokuchi?</b>

19:52.710 --> 19:54.300
<b>It's because he's the first baseman.</b>

19:54.410 --> 19:57.010
<b>Speaking of which, how's Tokuchi's batting?</b>

19:57.690 --> 20:02.020
<b>What batting?! He only pitched in Okinawa.</b>

20:03.860 --> 20:05.740
<b>I should say he's a beginner.</b>

20:05.890 --> 20:07.330
<b>What should we do?</b>

20:07.460 --> 20:11.520
<b>The dugout is signaling Tokuchi to just stand in the batter box and not to do anything.</b>

20:12.120 --> 20:19.940
<b>Instead of risking a double play, take advantage of the pitcher's disorderly pitch and get a walk.</b>

20:20.380 --> 20:21.090
<b>But...</b>

20:21.760 --> 20:23.460
<b>Tokuchi hits it.</b>

20:25.740 --> 20:27.410
<b>What is that idiot doing?</b>

20:27.520 --> 20:29.910
<b>The fly ball is heading towards the foul territory to the left.</b>

20:30.020 --> 20:32.840
<b>Wait! Left fielder Johnson is dashing towards it.</b>

20:33.100 --> 20:34.220
<b>Can he catch it?</b>

20:34.220 --> 20:35.510
<b>Don't catch it!</b>

20:37.730 --> 20:41.800
<b>What a shame. Just a few centimeters off but he ran into the fence.</b>

20:42.180 --> 20:43.680
<b>He didn't catch it. It's a foul.</b>

20:43.990 --> 20:48.590
<b>But the crowd in the stadium is cheering for Johnson's great defensive play.</b>

20:48.700 --> 20:50.630
<b>That was close.</b>

20:50.700 --> 20:52.510
<b>Tokuchi, why did you hit it?</b>

20:52.510 --> 20:54.020
<b>We told you not to hit it!</b>

20:54.170 --> 20:55.760
<b>How terrifying is Johnson?!</b>

20:57.820 --> 20:59.740
<b><i>Laugh all you want.</i></b>

21:00.340 --> 21:06.320
<b><i>I've discovered a fatal flaw in your defense from the play just now.</i></b>

21:06.840 --> 21:09.150
<b>The world's fastest man, Johnson.</b>

21:09.800 --> 21:13.220
<b>What is the weakness Tokuchi has discovered in this monster?</b>

21:14.000 --> 21:15.490
<b>Monster against Gambler.</b>

21:15.950 --> 21:19.020
<b>This battle is reaching its climax.</b>

22:31.200 --> 22:39.500
<b>Next</b>

22:31.200 --> 22:39.500
<b>Invincible Pitching 
Style</b>

22:39.500 --> 22:41.500
<b></b>
