<b>Episode</b>

01:20.430 --> 01:23.850
<b>Invincible Pitching Style</b>

01:24.410 --> 01:26.840
<b>In the second game against the Bugaboos,</b>

01:27.140 --> 01:30.740
<b>Tokuchi Toua allowed Johnson to steal home plate...</b>

01:30.740 --> 01:33.170
<b>...and gave up his first run as a professional.</b>

01:35.710 --> 01:38.110
<b>Then Johnson was assigned to defend as the left fielder.</b>

01:38.500 --> 01:40.350
<b>By using his incredible speed,</b>

01:40.600 --> 01:42.860
<b>he showcased some fine plays.</b>

01:44.530 --> 01:46.020
<b>What a shame.</b>

01:46.020 --> 01:48.620
<b>Just a few centimetres off, but he ran into the fence.</b>

01:48.980 --> 01:50.780
<b>He didn't catch it. It's a foul.</b>

01:50.780 --> 01:55.340
<b>Nonetheless, the crowd in the stadium is cheering Johnson's great defensive play.</b>

01:55.340 --> 01:57.130
<b>That was close.</b>

01:57.530 --> 01:59.310
<b>Tokuchi, why'd you hit it?</b>

01:59.310 --> 02:01.070
<b>We told you not to hit it!</b>

02:01.070 --> 02:02.790
<b>How terrifying is Johnson?!</b>

02:04.790 --> 02:07.150
<b><i>Laugh all you want.</i></b>

02:07.150 --> 02:12.900
<b><i>I've discovered a fatal flaw in your defense from the play just now.</i></b>

02:13.530 --> 02:15.150
<b>And the second pitch.</b>

02:16.940 --> 02:17.510
<b>It's a hit!</b>

02:18.270 --> 02:21.540
<b>It's another fly ball towards the left foul territory.</b>

02:22.760 --> 02:24.050
<b>That idiot!</b>

02:24.050 --> 02:27.040
<b>Left fielder Johnson is running after the ball with incredible speed.</b>

02:30.600 --> 02:32.100
<b>He caught it this time.</b>

02:32.100 --> 02:34.060
<b>Johnson's defense is superb.</b>

02:34.380 --> 02:37.420
<b>He caught Tokuchi's simple foul fly ball beautifully.</b>

02:38.980 --> 02:39.740
<b><i>Just as I thought.</i></b>

02:41.390 --> 02:44.650
<b>Tokuchi, why'd you swing?</b>

02:44.650 --> 02:46.600
<b>Don't be so mad.</b>

02:47.200 --> 02:49.180
<b>It wasn't a double play.</b>

02:49.180 --> 02:51.430
<b>I would've been struck out if I just stood there.</b>

02:51.430 --> 02:52.510
<b>It's all the same.</b>

02:52.900 --> 02:54.320
<b>How is it all the same?!</b>

02:54.320 --> 02:57.550
<b>Ninomiya's pitches are unstable this inning.</b>

02:57.550 --> 03:00.120
<b>He could have walked you.</b>

03:00.120 --> 03:02.280
<b>Stop talking nonsense, you moron.</b>

03:02.680 --> 03:03.420
<b>Moron?!</b>

03:03.420 --> 03:06.770
<b>Ideguchi, I want to play catch. Come give me a hand.</b>

03:07.810 --> 03:09.130
<b><i>This is rare.</i></b>

03:09.130 --> 03:10.790
<b><i>Tokuchi actually wants to play catch?</i></b>

03:12.650 --> 03:15.790
<b>Hey, you're the next batter, right? Come here for a second.</b>

03:22.490 --> 03:24.040
<b>Strike! Batter out!</b>

03:24.890 --> 03:28.820
<b>The Bugaboos' pitcher, Ninomiya, was in a dire situation with no outs and runners on first and second...</b>

03:28.820 --> 03:30.350
<b>...but now there're two outs.</b>

03:30.970 --> 03:32.820
<b>The next batter is Tomioka.</b>

03:33.770 --> 03:36.900
<b>Tokuchi, what did you just say to Tomioka?</b>

03:37.680 --> 03:39.070
<b>Who knows.</b>

03:44.240 --> 03:46.070
<b><i>That guy is being strange.</i></b>

03:55.390 --> 03:57.340
<b>Ninomiya's second pitch...</b>

03:57.950 --> 03:58.660
<b>...is thrown.</b>

03:59.380 --> 03:59.890
<b>It's a hit!</b>

04:00.510 --> 04:02.890
<b>Again, the ball is heading towards the left outfield where Johnson is.</b>

04:03.550 --> 04:06.470
<b>But this hit doesn't have as much power.</b>

04:07.130 --> 04:10.750
<b>Idiot! Why are you hitting it towards Johnson as well?!</b>

04:10.750 --> 04:14.130
<b><i>That's because Tokuchi told me to hit it towards the left foul line.</i></b>

04:14.130 --> 04:16.930
<b><i>Otherwise, he would tell my wife about my affair.</i></b>

04:17.570 --> 04:19.190
<b>Left fielder Johnson is running.</b>

04:19.190 --> 04:22.640
<b>Looks like he will be able to catch this easily at the drop point.</b>

04:24.050 --> 04:24.660
<b>Watch out!</b>

04:31.380 --> 04:32.640
<b>Oh no!</b>

04:33.850 --> 04:37.340
<b>Johnson didn't catch the ordinary fly ball.</b>

04:37.340 --> 04:39.160
<b>The ball rolls to the fence.</b>

04:39.170 --> 04:40.920
<b>What?!</b>

04:41.340 --> 04:43.190
<b>The runner on second returns home.</b>

04:43.190 --> 04:45.890
<b>The runner on first also returns home.</b>

04:45.890 --> 04:47.930
<b>The Lycaons take the lead!</b>

04:49.080 --> 04:50.300
<b>What?! {not sure if this is just some jubberish from shock}</b>

04:51.270 --> 04:52.530
<b>What just happened?</b>

04:52.530 --> 04:54.350
<b>Was he scared by Tokuchi's voice?</b>

04:54.350 --> 04:56.990
<b>You'd normally stop if you're scared.</b>

04:56.990 --> 04:58.930
<b>But he totally ran past the drop point.</b>

05:00.060 --> 05:02.700
<b>Tokuchi, what just happened?</b>

05:02.700 --> 05:05.810
<b>Why couldn't he catch that easy fly ball?</b>

05:07.060 --> 05:09.310
<b>That's because he can't break his line of sight.</b>

05:11.730 --> 05:14.810
<b>I've been keeping an eye on his defending position.</b>

05:15.310 --> 05:16.870
<b>By the way he catches,</b>

05:16.870 --> 05:19.150
<b>it's obvious that he had been practicing his defense.</b>

05:19.870 --> 05:20.860
<b>Therefore,</b>

05:21.690 --> 05:24.970
<b>it should be apparent that he is defending that far back intentionally.</b>

05:25.830 --> 05:29.970
<b>It's probably to make up for Johnson's weaknesses in defense.</b>

05:30.300 --> 05:33.060
<b>Of course, I wasn't sure what his weakness was.</b>

05:33.730 --> 05:36.470
<b>But the foul fly earlier exposed it.</b>

05:36.980 --> 05:41.100
<b>And the next foul fly was a very ordinary hit.</b>

05:41.630 --> 05:42.400
<b>But...</b>

05:44.330 --> 05:46.220
<b>he hit the fence again.</b>

05:46.670 --> 05:47.700
<b>I see.</b>

05:48.600 --> 05:50.530
<b>When a fly ball is approaching from behind or the side,</b>

05:51.240 --> 05:53.620
<b>the fielder will take his eyes off the ball</b>

05:53.620 --> 05:55.830
<b>and run fully towards the drop point.</b>

05:55.830 --> 05:58.920
<b>When he's near that point, he will look at the ball then catch it.</b>

05:59.870 --> 06:04.020
<b>If the hit is a slow fly ball that is heading towards the fence, {}</b>

06:04.580 --> 06:06.530
<b>the catcher will take his eyes off the ball,</b>

06:06.530 --> 06:10.010
<b>estimate the distance to the fence and pose to catch.</b>

06:10.450 --> 06:13.440
<b>I have been observing his moves.</b>

06:13.440 --> 06:18.070
<b>When that guy is catching, his line of sight never leaves the ball.</b>

06:18.440 --> 06:21.260
<b>That's why he would hit the fence.</b>

06:21.260 --> 06:23.560
<b>That's also the reason why he is defending so far back.</b>

06:23.560 --> 06:27.530
<b>As long as the space behind is slim, there's no need to break the line of sight.</b>

06:28.730 --> 06:34.320
<b>That's why I told Tomioka to hit a fly ball towards the left foul area.</b>

06:34.320 --> 06:39.580
<b>Then while pretending to play catch, I waited for him to catch the fly ball in the foul territory.</b>

06:41.070 --> 06:43.790
<b>Johnson should have caught that ball easily.</b>

06:44.230 --> 06:48.620
<b>Unfortunately, he had hit the fence twice already.</b>

06:49.760 --> 06:54.150
<b>So he was cautious of the fence subconsciously.</b>

06:54.150 --> 06:55.630
<b>I utilized that.</b>

06:57.110 --> 06:57.640
<b><i>Watch out!</i></b>

06:58.840 --> 07:02.090
<b>When he heard my voice, he would naturally look at the fence.</b>

07:02.880 --> 07:03.490
<b>That means...</b>

07:04.280 --> 07:05.640
<b>...his line of sight left the ball.</b>

07:07.110 --> 07:08.890
<b>The result is clear.</b>

07:12.120 --> 07:13.180
<b>Strike out.</b>

07:13.180 --> 07:14.950
<b>The runner was left on second base.</b>

07:14.950 --> 07:18.620
<b>But the Lycaons successfully gained the lead this inning.</b>

07:18.620 --> 07:20.020
<b>It's 2-1 now.</b>

07:21.970 --> 07:24.030
<b>The game has just begun.</b>

07:24.860 --> 07:29.550
<b>In the remaining three innings, Johnson should have at least two more at-bats.</b>

07:30.790 --> 07:35.540
<b>The Bugaboos, who had given up the lead, is starting the attack at the bottom of the seventh with leadoff batter, Johnson.</b>

07:36.640 --> 07:39.060
<b>This is Johnson's first professional at bat.</b>

07:39.400 --> 07:41.690
<b>What kind of batting will it be?</b>

07:42.750 --> 07:44.280
<b>The pitcher is Hasegawa.</b>

07:44.280 --> 07:45.310
<b>The first pitch...</b>

07:46.170 --> 07:47.020
<b>is thrown.</b>

07:47.020 --> 07:48.560
<b>He poses for a bunt.</b>

07:48.560 --> 07:49.320
<b>Ball.</b>

07:49.900 --> 07:52.320
<b>But the Lycaons' battery saw through that.</b>

07:52.650 --> 07:55.310
<b>What a surprising bunt pose. Kawato-san?</b>

07:55.310 --> 07:57.480
<b>No, it might have worked.</b>

07:57.480 --> 07:59.590
<b>Because he runs really fast.</b>

07:59.590 --> 08:02.320
<b>Just get a grounder and it will be a safety bunt.</b>

08:02.820 --> 08:03.470
<b>Time out.</b>

08:05.100 --> 08:08.210
<b>The Lycaons' infielders have gathered on the pitcher's mound.</b>

08:09.180 --> 08:10.830
<b>Discussing the shift for the bunt? {}</b>

08:12.490 --> 08:14.850
<b>Are you sure that will work?!</b>

08:15.600 --> 08:17.960
<b>You're too loud.</b>

08:20.110 --> 08:23.990
<b>Johnson practiced bunts nonstop in the off season.</b>

08:24.370 --> 08:27.280
<b>In terms of bunts, he is better at it than any other batter.</b>

08:27.950 --> 08:31.000
<b>It's impossible to stop him from reaching first base.</b>

08:31.550 --> 08:33.740
<b>The Lycaons' infielders return to their defending posts.</b>

08:34.230 --> 08:35.830
<b>Alright, the game resumes.</b>

08:36.640 --> 08:37.480
<b>What?</b>

08:37.480 --> 08:40.240
<b>The Lycaons first and third baseman are drawn in.</b>

08:40.770 --> 08:43.000
<b>Looks like this is a shift for the bunt.</b>

08:46.070 --> 08:47.710
<b>The second pitch...</b>

08:47.710 --> 08:48.750
<b>is thrown.</b>

08:49.360 --> 08:50.560
<b>As expected, it's a bunt.</b>

08:50.560 --> 08:53.480
<b>The ball rolls towards the third baseman, who is drawn in.</b>

08:54.780 --> 08:56.410
<b>Johnson is really fast!</b>

08:56.410 --> 08:57.380
<b>No way!</b>

08:58.900 --> 08:59.600
<b>Safe.</b>

09:00.020 --> 09:00.770
<b>He's safe.</b>

09:01.450 --> 09:03.760
<b>Johnson's speed is terrifying!</b>

09:04.590 --> 09:07.270
<b>He reached first base easily.</b>

09:07.700 --> 09:09.350
<b>F-For real?!</b>

09:09.350 --> 09:10.460
<b>That's bad.</b>

09:10.460 --> 09:12.780
<b>With that speed, even third base will be in trouble!</b>

09:13.960 --> 09:16.150
<b>His premonition came true.</b>

09:17.030 --> 09:18.810
<b>Johnson is running.</b>

09:20.360 --> 09:21.530
<b>Easily safe.</b>

09:22.550 --> 09:25.430
<b>The catcher Ideguchi hasn't even thrown to second.</b>

09:29.030 --> 09:30.780
<b>The third pitch...</b>

09:31.390 --> 09:32.040
<b>What?!</b>

09:32.710 --> 09:34.210
<b>Johnson is stealing third!</b>

09:34.210 --> 09:35.290
<b><i>You got to be kidding.</i></b>

09:37.800 --> 09:38.880
<b>Safe!</b>

09:38.880 --> 09:40.060
<b>Successfully stolen.</b>

09:40.670 --> 09:43.020
<b>In a flash, Johnson has advanced to third.</b>

09:43.430 --> 09:46.270
<b>The Lycaons are in danger of getting tied.</b>

09:46.800 --> 09:49.690
<b>Lycaons' manager Mihara is coming out of the dugout.</b>

09:50.200 --> 09:51.860
<b>Pitching change with Tokuchi.</b>

09:52.980 --> 09:53.810
<b>It's Tokuchi.</b>

09:54.180 --> 09:56.330
<b>The well prepared Tokuchi comes on.</b>

09:57.040 --> 10:01.490
<b>In the fourth inning, Tokuchi faced the same situation, but Johnson stole home plate successfully.</b>

10:01.960 --> 10:04.010
<b>He gave up his first run as a professional.</b>

10:04.010 --> 10:06.080
<b>It's definitely going to be another steal here.</b>

10:07.030 --> 10:09.430
<b>How's Tokuchi going to suppress the opponent?</b>

10:10.120 --> 10:10.970
<b>What's this?</b>

10:10.970 --> 10:14.630
<b>Lycaons' third baseman is moving in to defend.</b>

10:17.210 --> 10:18.310
<b>W-What?</b>

10:18.770 --> 10:21.620
<b>Johnson saw that and went back to the third base.</b>

10:22.090 --> 10:23.830
<b>He shortened the lead.</b>

10:25.130 --> 10:27.480
<b>Look, look. Just as Tokuchi said.</b>

10:29.150 --> 10:32.010
<b><i>Did he find a way to prevent Johnson from stealing home?</i></b>

10:32.470 --> 10:33.700
<b><i>As expected from Tokuchi.</i></b>

10:34.310 --> 10:39.980
<b><i>Too bad your tactic can only prevent Johnson from stealing home.</i></b>

10:41.360 --> 10:45.910
<b><i>And this tactic has a decisive flaw.</i></b>

10:47.290 --> 10:50.580
<b>No outs and a runner on third. The count is at 2-1.</b>

10:50.580 --> 10:52.130
<b>Tokuchi is in the set.</b>

10:53.000 --> 10:53.940
<b>And he pitches.</b>

10:54.770 --> 10:56.230
<b>The ball is out of the strike zone.</b>

10:57.120 --> 10:58.710
<b>Johnson didn't move at all.</b>

11:00.740 --> 11:03.710
<b>If you can steal home, then let's see it.</b>

11:04.480 --> 11:08.220
<b>The count is 3-1. The batter continues to pose for a squeeze play.</b>

11:08.760 --> 11:12.120
<b>The Johnson who can't run isn't scary at all!</b>

11:14.130 --> 11:16.140
<b>But can this be...</b>

11:16.140 --> 11:18.460
<b>T-This is bad.</b>

11:20.040 --> 11:20.930
<b>Ball!</b>

11:20.930 --> 11:22.150
<b>Four ball!</b>

11:23.130 --> 11:24.670
<b>This won't work.</b>

11:24.670 --> 11:28.160
<b>Tokuchi is too worried about the squeeze play and doesn't want to face the batter.</b>

11:29.320 --> 11:29.950
<b>Four ball!</b>

11:31.090 --> 11:32.770
<b>Another walk.</b>

11:32.770 --> 11:33.770
<b>Bases are finally loaded.</b>

11:34.680 --> 11:37.950
<b>The next batter is the bunt master, Minamoto.</b>

11:38.500 --> 11:40.250
<b>Now, what will you do, Tokuchi?</b>

11:41.910 --> 11:43.510
<b>This is the worst!</b>

11:43.990 --> 11:47.030
<b>The Lycaons' infielders, who can't stand it anymore ,are gathered on the pitcher's mound.</b>

11:47.030 --> 11:48.290
<b>Don't run away, you idiot!</b>

11:48.290 --> 11:50.220
<b>There's no way out now.</b>

11:50.220 --> 11:52.760
<b>We can only face it. Let's fight out this match.</b>

11:53.950 --> 11:55.850
<b>Arguing. They are arguing.</b>

11:55.850 --> 11:57.600
<b>They are clearly arguing.</b>

11:58.770 --> 12:01.210
<b>What will you do now, Tokuchi?</b>

12:01.210 --> 12:04.240
<b>If keep running away, you'll walk the batters.</b>

12:04.240 --> 12:08.180
<b>Even if you face the batter, Minamoto will use a squeeze play for sure.</b>

12:08.180 --> 12:10.550
<b>Either way, it will be my victory.</b>

12:11.830 --> 12:14.620
<b>The players return to their defensive positions.</b>

12:15.410 --> 12:17.280
<b>First and third baseman are drawn in.</b>

12:18.010 --> 12:21.790
<b>Will Tokuchi win or will Johnson's speed win?</b>

12:22.720 --> 12:24.790
<b>The anticipated first pitch...</b>

12:29.080 --> 12:29.810
<b>Why?</b>

12:35.620 --> 12:36.550
<b>Umpire.</b>

12:38.300 --> 12:39.300
<b>Out!</b>

12:39.640 --> 12:41.470
<b>It's a hidden ball!</b>

12:41.470 --> 12:42.730
<b>What?!</b>

12:42.730 --> 12:43.160
<b>What?!</b>

12:43.160 --> 12:45.720
<b>Johnson is completely shocked by this.</b>

12:46.550 --> 12:48.020
<b>The ball wasn't in Tokuchi's hand.</b>

12:48.020 --> 12:51.580
<b>It was in the hand of the shortstop, Imai, who was covering third base.</b>

12:53.270 --> 12:54.340
<b>W-When?</b>

12:55.160 --> 12:57.310
<b>Was that gathering earlier...</b>

12:57.310 --> 12:59.870
<b>to give the ball to Imai?</b>

13:02.270 --> 13:06.500
<b>That means all the arguing was just an act.</b>

13:06.500 --> 13:07.080
<b>This can't be.</b>

13:07.610 --> 13:11.100
<b>Even if it's an act, they need to have it planned beforehand.</b>

13:12.890 --> 13:15.600
<b><i>Tokuchi gathered the infielders before that as well.</i></b>

13:16.080 --> 13:18.400
<b><i>Are you sure that will work?!</i></b>

13:19.190 --> 13:21.470
<b><i>You are too loud.</i></b>

13:22.010 --> 13:25.740
<b><i>I thought it was a discussion of the shift in preparation for Johnson's bunt.</i></b>

13:26.730 --> 13:27.820
<b><i>But it wasn't.</i></b>

13:28.080 --> 13:29.180
<b><i>At that time...</i></b>

13:30.120 --> 13:34.970
<b><i>Tokuchi already predicted Johnson will run to third and planned to hide the ball.</i></b>

13:34.970 --> 13:37.740
<b><i>Everything after that was all part of Tokuchi's plan.</i></b>

13:38.000 --> 13:40.920
<b><i>He made it looked like he was completely cornered.</i></b>

13:40.920 --> 13:42.380
<b><i>That was all an act.</i></b>

13:42.730 --> 13:45.110
<b><i>During this time, he setup his traps.</i></b>

13:45.110 --> 13:47.720
<b><i>In the end, we were the ones who were concerned.</i></b>

13:48.830 --> 13:52.460
<b><i>Those were all his tricks.</i></b>

13:54.430 --> 13:56.650
<b>The remaining batters went three up, three down.</b>

13:58.370 --> 14:01.140
<b>They missed the chance with no outs and bases loaded.</b>

14:01.140 --> 14:02.980
<b>The Lycaons still lead by a run.</b>

14:03.730 --> 14:05.160
<b>Hey Shirooka.</b>

14:06.210 --> 14:08.490
<b>When someone truly believes they're about to win,</b>

14:09.040 --> 14:10.990
<b>they're most likely to reveal their weakness.</b>

14:11.780 --> 14:13.770
<b>You thought too highly of yourself, Shirooka.</b>

14:13.770 --> 14:15.480
<b>This isn't Johnson's defeat.</b>

14:16.090 --> 14:17.530
<b>It's your defeat.</b>

14:20.070 --> 14:23.480
<b>Although they faced a crisis with no outs and Johnson on third,</b>

14:23.480 --> 14:27.810
<b>the Lycaons finished the inning without giving up a run thanks to Tokuchi's clever plan.</b>

14:28.400 --> 14:29.880
<b>But victory...</b>

14:30.450 --> 14:32.950
<b>victory is still undecided.</b>

14:32.950 --> 14:37.130
<b>Johnson still has another at-bat in the ninth inning.</b>

14:37.430 --> 14:40.180
<b>The game is once again at a stalemate.</b>

14:40.180 --> 14:45.540
<b>In the eighth inning, the Bugaboos got a runner on base from a hit, but were unable to score a run.</b>

14:45.540 --> 14:50.560
<b>On the other hand, the Lycaons could not capitalize on Johnson's defensive weakness and did not add another run.</b>

14:51.100 --> 14:54.190
<b>They entered the last inning with the score 2-1.</b>

14:54.780 --> 14:56.730
<b>The leadoff batter of the inning is...</b>

14:57.670 --> 15:00.410
<b>Johnson is entering the batter's box.</b>

15:01.180 --> 15:04.840
<b>Since this is the last inning, the Bugaboos are at their critical point.</b>

15:06.050 --> 15:07.740
<b>Tokuchi is so unlucky.</b>

15:07.740 --> 15:11.430
<b>He still has to battle this guy once more.</b>

15:11.860 --> 15:14.930
<b>This one run lead isn't even an advantage.</b>

15:15.510 --> 15:17.900
<b>The pitcher, Komori, is in his windup.</b>

15:17.930 --> 15:18.670
<b>The first pitch...</b>

15:19.190 --> 15:19.970
<b>is thrown.</b>

15:19.980 --> 15:21.670
<b>Johnson bunts on the first pitch.</b>

15:20.610 --> 15:21.070
<b>Third!</b>

15:22.630 --> 15:25.940
<b>The third baseman, who is drawn in, catches the ball and throws to first.</b>

15:26.730 --> 15:27.950
<b>Safe!</b>

15:28.810 --> 15:31.700
<b>The incredibly fast Johnson was easily safe at first base.</b>

15:31.980 --> 15:32.740
<b>Yes!</b>

15:32.740 --> 15:34.200
<b>Unstoppable even if you saw it coming.</b>

15:34.720 --> 15:36.510
<b>How terrifying is Johnson!</b>

15:40.910 --> 15:41.910
<b>Johnson is running.</b>

15:43.950 --> 15:45.010
<b>Safe!</b>

15:45.130 --> 15:47.210
<b>Johnson steals successfully.</b>

15:50.870 --> 15:55.180
<b>Compared to the unpredictable batting variations, the running speed is constant.</b>

15:55.850 --> 15:57.000
<b>Safe!</b>

15:57.000 --> 15:59.440
<b>Johnson also stole third base.</b>

15:59.440 --> 16:01.210
<b>The Lycaons are helpless.</b>

16:01.210 --> 16:02.890
<b>Suddenly, there's no outs and a runner on third.</b>

16:02.890 --> 16:04.690
<b>The Lycaons are in great danger.</b>

16:06.400 --> 16:10.580
<b>Interesting. Looks like Tokuchi will be devastated in this inning again.</b>

16:11.200 --> 16:13.070
<b>Pitching change with Tokuchi.</b>

16:13.860 --> 16:15.790
<b>They changed to Tokuchi.</b>

16:15.790 --> 16:18.080
<b>It's the third duel with Johnson in this game.</b>

16:18.830 --> 16:23.130
<b>What's surprising is that all three times, it happened with no outs and a runner on third.</b>

16:23.770 --> 16:26.080
<b>The third baseman, Fujita, is drawn in.</b>

16:26.080 --> 16:29.570
<b>Their first priority is to prevent Johnson from stealing home.</b>

16:29.570 --> 16:31.080
<b>Is that right, Kawato-san?</b>

16:31.080 --> 16:36.530
<b>After hearing manager Shirooka's theory about Johnson's 100% success rate in stealing home,</b>

16:36.530 --> 16:38.460
<b>they have to face the batter.</b>

16:38.460 --> 16:43.110
<b>The theory manager Shinooka announced after yesterday's game is that</b>

16:43.930 --> 16:48.100
<b>Johnson only needs 2.6 seconds to reach home from a big lead.</b>

16:48.500 --> 16:54.100
<b>On the other hand, the ball takes 1.94 seconds to reach the catcher from the start of Tokuchi's pitching motion.</b>

16:54.730 --> 16:57.700
<b>But that's only if the batter lets the pitch go by.</b>

16:57.700 --> 16:59.240
<b>In reality, a bunt will be used.</b>

16:59.240 --> 17:02.630
<b>The ball must be thrown away from the bat in order to prevent that.</b>

17:03.340 --> 17:08.620
<b>In that case, catcher Ideguchi will need 0.69 seconds to touch the runner.</b>

17:09.200 --> 17:11.670
<b>That's 2.63 seconds total.</b>

17:11.670 --> 17:14.880
<b>It's slower than Johnson's 2.6 seconds.</b>

17:11.920 --> 17:14.880
QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

17:11.920 --> 17:14.880
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

17:11.920 --> 17:14.880
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

17:11.960 --> 17:14.880
Ideguchi catches the ball 
and touches the runner

17:11.960 --> 17:14.880
Tokuchi pitches

17:11.960 --> 17:14.880
Time needed for Johnson to run home

17:15.640 --> 17:18.590
<b>That means Tokuchi forfeited the duel with Johnson,</b>

17:18.590 --> 17:21.320
<b>and choose to face the batter instead.</b>

17:21.340 --> 17:25.560
<b>But the next batter, Kohinata, is very good at bunts. Kawato-san?</b>

17:25.560 --> 17:28.390
<b>With no outs, a bunt might not be used.</b>

17:29.170 --> 17:31.090
<b>A fly ball to the outfield will be okay as well.</b>

17:31.090 --> 17:34.820
<b>The worst will be walking the batter to avoid the situation.</b>

17:34.820 --> 17:37.400
<b>No matter what, Tokuchi is in a tight spot.</b>

17:38.300 --> 17:40.130
<b><i>I-It's alright.</i></b>

17:40.290 --> 17:41.910
<b><i>We have to take our chances.</i></b>

17:42.500 --> 17:43.090
<b><i>That's right.</i></b>

17:43.590 --> 17:46.170
<b><i>This is where we'll battle it out with the batter.</i></b>

17:48.540 --> 17:51.670
<b>In the end you're running away from me, Tokuchi Toua.</b>

17:54.560 --> 17:56.150
<b>It seems like that guy said something.</b>

17:56.310 --> 17:58.000
<b>What? What did he say?</b>

17:58.490 --> 18:02.180
<b>I heard you're the most formidable gambler, but you're really just a gutless bastard.</b>

18:04.390 --> 18:05.740
<b>What's happening?</b>

18:05.740 --> 18:08.730
<b>Johnson seems to be taunting Tokuchi.</b>

18:08.730 --> 18:10.220
<b>It's useless.</b>

18:10.220 --> 18:13.190
<b>The cunning Tokuchi won't fall for it.</b>

18:14.000 --> 18:14.870
<b>Gutless?</b>

18:16.160 --> 18:20.210
<b>Let's duel then, you tattooed bastard.</b>

18:20.690 --> 18:22.010
<b>Fujita, move back.</b>

18:24.210 --> 18:27.860
<b>Tokuchi is telling Fujita to move back to defend.</b>

18:27.860 --> 18:29.540
<b>He'll battle with Johnson's speed?</b>

18:31.920 --> 18:33.130
<b>That's it.</b>

18:34.730 --> 18:36.050
<b>That idiot!</b>

18:36.050 --> 18:38.220
<b>Is he giving up because there's no chance in winning?</b>

18:38.750 --> 18:41.050
<b>Yes. I'm winning this for sure!</b>

18:41.050 --> 18:43.640
<b>Just like that, I'll get 2 billion yen back!</b>

18:44.380 --> 18:45.300
<b>Tokuchi.</b>

18:46.910 --> 18:49.370
<b>Tokuchi, what are you doing?</b>

18:49.370 --> 18:51.240
<b>Responding to his taunts?</b>

18:51.240 --> 18:52.970
<b>I'm not responding to his taunts.</b>

18:53.770 --> 18:57.480
<b>He's right. If we keep running away, nothing will change.</b>

18:58.350 --> 19:01.490
<b>Sooner or later, we'll have to battle his speed.</b>

19:02.320 --> 19:03.740
<b>That time is now.</b>

19:05.720 --> 19:07.250
<b>Alright, game resumes.</b>

19:08.010 --> 19:09.600
<b>Because of Tokuchi's decision,</b>

19:09.600 --> 19:11.870
<b>they have to battle with Johnson's speed.</b>

19:12.500 --> 19:16.010
<b>Of course, Johnson is taking a huge lead.</b>

19:16.620 --> 19:19.010
<b>The batter, Kohinata, poses for a squeeze bunt as well.</b>

19:19.930 --> 19:21.660
<b>It's time for the battle.</b>

19:22.660 --> 19:24.020
<b>Tokuchi lifts his leg.</b>

19:26.530 --> 19:27.280
<b>Yes. We got it.</b>

19:27.790 --> 19:29.570
<b>Johnson can return home with a grounder.</b>

19:29.570 --> 19:31.840
<b>Even if it's missed, Ideguchi will not be able to touch in time.</b>

19:33.800 --> 19:38.930
<b>Shinooka, your theory has flaws.</b>

19:39.640 --> 19:40.540
<b>It's thrown.</b>

19:42.500 --> 19:44.240
<b>The ball is thrown towards the batter's ankle!</b>

19:44.990 --> 19:45.620
<b>What?!</b>

19:45.620 --> 19:46.770
<b>Shit! That's...</b>

19:50.200 --> 19:51.230
<b>Out!</b>

19:51.910 --> 19:53.640
<b>Johnson is out!</b>

19:54.010 --> 19:56.790
<b>It's the first time Johnson failed at stealing!</b>

19:57.360 --> 20:00.800
<b>Just as expected, the man who stopped him is Tokuchi Toua.</b>

20:02.370 --> 20:07.680
<b><i>Unbelievable. He used that hidden spot for the pitchout.</i></b>

20:09.040 --> 20:11.680
<b>The remaining two batters went three up, three down quickly.</b>

20:12.020 --> 20:15.360
<b>The Bugaboos can no longer comeback.</b>

20:16.090 --> 20:19.190
<b>In the end, the game was won by the Lycaons.</b>

20:19.770 --> 20:21.390
<b><i>That's awesome, Tokuchi!</i></b>

20:23.920 --> 20:27.500
<b>I can only get 600 million yen back.</b>

20:27.910 --> 20:31.290
<b>That means there's 1.04 billion yen left.</b>

20:32.670 --> 20:33.660
<b>This is great!</b>

20:36.500 --> 20:39.310
<b>As expected of you, that was impressive.</b>

20:39.310 --> 20:42.960
<b>I can't believe you would pitch the ball towards the batter's ankle.</b>

20:43.700 --> 20:47.450
<b>You found the flaw in Shirooka's seemingly perfect theory.</b>

20:47.450 --> 20:48.690
<b>That's fatal for them.</b>

20:49.340 --> 20:51.760
<b>Johnson definitely won't run tomorrow.</b>

20:53.240 --> 20:54.350
<b>You are so naive.</b>

20:56.090 --> 20:58.140
<b>Just as there are flaws in Shirooka's theory,</b>

20:58.660 --> 21:01.020
<b>my pitch towards the ankle today has flaws too.</b>

21:02.410 --> 21:04.660
<b>Shirooka will probably have noticed them by tomorrow.</b>

21:05.180 --> 21:06.810
<b>What are the flaws?</b>

21:06.810 --> 21:07.580
<b>Idiot!</b>

21:08.790 --> 21:11.080
<b>You are the catcher. Think about it yourself.</b>

21:13.640 --> 21:15.010
<b>Don't relax just yet.</b>

21:15.540 --> 21:17.590
<b>Tomorrow will be the real battle.</b>

22:30.870 --> 22:39.540
<b>Next</b>

22:30.870 --> 22:39.540
<b>The Sealed Feet</b>

22:39.540 --> 22:41.540
<b></b>
