<b>In the second game against the BlueMars, the Lycaons turned the enemy's strategy against them and won.</b>

01:21.390 --> 01:24.850
<b>Episode 21</b>

01:21.390 --> 01:24.850
<b>Disclosure</b>

01:27.210 --> 01:30.360
<b>And on the day of the third game...</b>

01:31.410 --> 01:33.860
<b><i>We won yesterday. It's one win, one loss now.</i></b>

01:34.500 --> 01:38.490
<b><i>We must win today and show those cheaters what we're made of.</i></b>

01:38.490 --> 01:42.330
<b>We will use this strategy today to win!</b>

01:42.330 --> 01:47.950
<b><i>With a win today and considering the results of other teams, we might get out of being last in rankings.</i></b>

01:48.800 --> 01:52.000
<b><i>I hope we can move up with this game, so that we can aim for the championship.</i></b>

01:56.540 --> 02:03.010
<b><i>I don't really get it, but it seems like yesterday's victory was all thanks to me.</i></b>

02:03.010 --> 02:07.260
<b><i>If we win today as well, maybe I'll be called a genius.</i></b>

02:08.370 --> 02:09.180
<b>Oi.</b>

02:09.180 --> 02:09.980
<b>Oi?</b>

02:10.580 --> 02:15.990
<b>Our agreement from yesterday is valid until the end of today's game.</b>

02:15.990 --> 02:19.860
<b>You have to obey my instructions today too.</b>

02:20.670 --> 02:22.160
<b>Got it?</b>

02:22.600 --> 02:24.120
<b><i>Yes!</i></b>

02:24.120 --> 02:28.840
<b>Although everyone had their own thoughts just before the third game,</b>

02:28.840 --> 02:32.670
<b>they all have the same goal of winning today.</b>

02:32.930 --> 02:35.130
<b>Everyone's thinking of that.</b>

02:35.130 --> 02:40.810
<b>About our signs, could we try changing them a bit?</b>

02:42.670 --> 02:46.390
<b>What for? Are you saying our signs are being stolen?</b>

02:46.960 --> 02:48.360
<b><i>This is bad.</i></b>

02:48.360 --> 02:52.520
<b><i>It won't be good if everyone knows that our signs have been stolen.</i></b>

02:53.270 --> 02:58.150
<b>If we don't take precautions, it'll be too late when they're stolen.</b>

02:58.150 --> 03:00.220
<b>I see.</b>

03:00.220 --> 03:05.660
<b>How about we use the batter's jersey number to determine the sign pattern?</b>

03:07.260 --> 03:08.910
<b>The jersey number?</b>

03:09.580 --> 03:14.670
<b>We have three patterns of signs. Divide the jersey number by three...</b>

03:14.670 --> 03:17.670
<b>Pattern 1</b>

03:15.770 --> 03:18.750
<b>If the remainder is one, we use pattern one.</b>

03:17.670 --> 03:20.670
<b>Pattern 2</b>

03:18.750 --> 03:21.210
<b>If the remainder is two, we use pattern two.</b>

03:20.670 --> 03:23.510
<b>Pattern 3</b>

03:21.210 --> 03:23.510
<b>If it's divisible by three, we use pattern three.</b>

03:23.850 --> 03:31.690
<b>For example, if the batter's wearing number six, pattern three will be used for the block and catcher's signs.</b>

03:29.600 --> 03:30.230
<b>Pattern</b>

03:30.230 --> 03:31.690
<b>Pattern</b>

03:31.690 --> 03:33.420
<b>I see.</b>

03:33.420 --> 03:35.190
<b>That's interesting.</b>

03:35.190 --> 03:36.990
<b>Seems hard to decipher.</b>

03:36.990 --> 03:43.250
<b>But I suck at math. I can handle 6 or 17.</b>

03:43.250 --> 03:46.670
<b>If it gets to 82, then...</b>

03:46.670 --> 03:48.610
<b>82 / 3 is...</b>

03:50.420 --> 03:52.710
<b>What's 8 + 2?</b>

03:53.630 --> 03:54.890
<b>10.</b>

03:54.890 --> 03:57.070
<b>What's the remainder of 10 / 3?</b>

03:58.300 --> 04:00.300
<b>1?</b>

04:01.110 --> 04:03.220
<b>That would be the remainder for 82.</b>

04:03.220 --> 04:11.850
<b>No matter what the number is, when divided by 3 or when the sum of the digits is divided, the remainder will be the same.</b>

04:11.850 --> 04:17.040
<b>For example, 112 divided by 3 is 37 with remainder 1.</b>

04:17.520 --> 04:19.500
<b>So what's 1 + 1 + 2?</b>

04:20.080 --> 04:21.400
<b>4...</b>

04:21.400 --> 04:22.560
<b>Divide that by 3?</b>

04:22.560 --> 04:24.610
<b>Remainder... 1!</b>

04:24.610 --> 04:26.570
<b>See, isn't it the same?</b>

04:27.950 --> 04:29.620
<b>That's great!</b>

04:29.620 --> 04:30.990
<b>It's true!</b>

04:30.990 --> 04:33.120
<b>I wasn't so sure I could calculate it correctly.</b>

04:33.120 --> 04:36.300
<b>I didn't know that! This is cool!</b>

04:36.300 --> 04:38.370
<b>What a bunch of kids.</b>

04:38.370 --> 04:43.510
<b>We'll use this rule whether we are defending or attacking.</b>

04:44.320 --> 04:48.010
<b>During our attack, we'll use the jersey number of our batter.</b>

04:48.010 --> 04:51.650
<b>When we defend, we'll use the jersey number of their batter.</b>

04:51.650 --> 04:56.850
<b>That way, we'll change the sign pattern at least 50 times in the game.</b>

04:56.850 --> 05:01.780
<b>It'll appear to have an irregular pattern, making it difficult to understand.</b>

05:01.780 --> 05:05.730
<b>Manager Mihara came up with this idea.</b>

05:06.950 --> 05:08.540
<b>What do you guys think?</b>

05:08.540 --> 05:10.280
<b>It's good.</b>

05:10.280 --> 05:12.100
<b>I agree!</b>

05:12.100 --> 05:13.290
<b>Me too!</b>

05:17.400 --> 05:19.710
<b>Since it's suggested by the manager, let's use it.</b>

05:20.430 --> 05:21.840
<b>It's decided then.</b>

05:25.160 --> 05:28.360
<b>With that, the third game begins.</b>

05:29.640 --> 05:33.930
<b>The BlueMars' starting pitcher for today is the skillful Shirokami.</b>

05:36.060 --> 05:37.380
<b>Ball!</b>

05:37.380 --> 05:40.560
<b>And pitching for the Lycaons is the rookie Ishiyama.</b>

05:43.020 --> 05:44.150
<b>Strike!</b>

05:44.150 --> 05:50.240
<b>Before the third inning, Tokuchi purposely avoided using the new sign system he suggested.</b>

05:50.240 --> 05:56.250
<b>In a baseball game, the chance of scoring increases in the second batting rotation, around the end of the third and fourth inning.</b>

05:56.250 --> 06:01.000
<b>That's because in the second rotation, the batters have adjusted to the pitching.</b>

06:01.000 --> 06:04.250
<b>Tokuchi plans to battle it out with the opponent then.</b>

06:04.250 --> 06:09.230
<b>That means they'll use the regular sign system up to the third inning,</b>

06:09.230 --> 06:12.010
<b>causing the enemy to think it'll continue from the fourth inning onwards.</b>

06:12.010 --> 06:17.470
<b>Using that to their advantage, they'll change the sign system in the fourth inning,</b>

06:17.470 --> 06:21.360
<b>and confuse the enemy just like they did yesterday.</b>

06:22.390 --> 06:23.520
<b>But...</b>

06:24.200 --> 06:25.640
<b>The runner takes off!</b>

06:25.640 --> 06:27.780
<b>But the battery saw through that!</b>

06:28.420 --> 06:29.450
<b>Out!</b>

06:29.880 --> 06:34.580
<b>Although they had a runner in this inning, that chance was quickly shattered.</b>

06:34.580 --> 06:37.580
<b>And then in the bottom of the fourth, it's the BlueMars' turn to attack.</b>

06:37.580 --> 06:41.470
<b>The BlueMars' batter is Arikawa.</b>

06:41.470 --> 06:45.590
<b><i>Arikawa's jersey number is 69, which means... pattern three.</i></b>

06:46.420 --> 06:48.800
<b><i>He's the type who doesn't swing at the first pitch.</i></b>

06:49.500 --> 06:52.220
<b><i>Let's earn a strike with a curveball on the first pitch.</i></b>

06:55.070 --> 06:56.970
<b>The pitcher's first pitch...</b>

06:57.450 --> 06:58.730
<b>is thrown.</b>

07:01.310 --> 07:02.190
<b>It's a hit!</b>

07:02.390 --> 07:03.860
<b>It's a hit to centre field!</b>

07:03.860 --> 07:05.110
<b>No way.</b>

07:05.110 --> 07:09.110
<b>The BlueMars have no outs and a runner on base!</b>

07:10.680 --> 07:11.570
<b>And...</b>

07:13.830 --> 07:15.080
<b>It went through third and short!</b>

07:15.080 --> 07:18.880
<b>Back to back singles! No outs and runners on first and second!</b>

07:18.880 --> 07:19.620
<b>Damn it!</b>

07:19.620 --> 07:23.250
<b>The BlueMars' batter is Takatsuki.</b>

07:23.250 --> 07:27.000
<b><i>In this situation, the third batter probably won't bunt.</i></b>

07:27.000 --> 07:30.470
<b><i>The ideal play would be blocking him with a slider and then go for a double play.</i></b>

07:30.470 --> 07:31.470
<b>Yes.</b>

07:36.700 --> 07:38.630
<b>It's a bunt!</b>

07:38.630 --> 07:39.520
<b>No way!</b>

07:39.520 --> 07:42.020
<b>Beautiful! The ball landed just in front of third base!</b>

07:42.020 --> 07:45.330
<b>They won't make it to first! No outs and bases loaded!</b>

07:45.330 --> 07:48.850
<b>In the bottom of the fourth, the BlueMars have a great chance to take the lead! And...</b>

07:48.850 --> 07:51.960
<b>The BlueMars' batter is Rodrigo.</b>

07:51.960 --> 07:54.160
<b>The heavy hitter Rodrigo comes on!</b>

07:55.980 --> 08:00.790
<b>I already said it. Today will be different from yesterday.</b>

08:07.570 --> 08:11.420
<b><i>This isn't good. We must suppress them here.</i></b>

08:11.980 --> 08:17.990
<b><i>Rodrigo is good at hitting fastballs, even if the speed is over 150 km/h.</i></b>

08:18.390 --> 08:25.810
<b><i>But he's not good at hitting breaking balls, especially changeups after a slow curveball or a fastball.</i></b>

08:26.950 --> 08:35.350
<b><i>Ishiyama, who he'll be facing, can pitch fastballs, changeups, sliders, forkballs, and sinking curveballs.</i></b>

08:35.350 --> 08:39.530
<b><i>Then, the first pitch will be a curveball and it'll sink really low.</i></b>

08:41.450 --> 08:45.580
<b>Ishiyama throws the first pitch.</b>

08:46.530 --> 08:47.830
<b>Strike!</b>

08:49.810 --> 08:53.820
<b>The first pitch was a big curveball which sank really low.</b>

08:53.820 --> 08:57.820
<b><i>Nice! Ishiyama's curveballs are great today.</i></b>

08:57.820 --> 09:00.410
<b><i>Both the break and curve are great.</i></b>

09:02.370 --> 09:06.440
<b><i>Even if it's hit, it'll be an infield grounder. We can get a double play!</i></b>

09:15.540 --> 09:16.530
<b>Ball!</b>

09:17.930 --> 09:19.530
<b>The second pitch is also a curveball.</b>

09:19.790 --> 09:23.520
<b>But it was too low. The count is now 1-1.</b>

09:28.620 --> 09:30.150
<b><i>What was that smirk about?</i></b>

09:30.690 --> 09:34.510
<b><i>Is he forcing a smile because the pitches have been ones he can't hit very well?</i></b>

09:35.270 --> 09:37.050
<b><i>Or...</i></b>

09:37.440 --> 09:40.050
<b><i>Ideguchi-san, the next pitch is...</i></b>

09:40.660 --> 09:42.640
<b><i>Of course it's still a curveball.</i></b>

09:44.900 --> 09:47.350
<b>Pitcher Ishiyama's third pitch...</b>

09:47.940 --> 09:49.660
<b>He lifts his leg and throws!</b>

09:50.940 --> 09:51.940
<b>It's a hit!</b>

09:52.760 --> 09:56.320
<b>But it only grazed the bat! Foul!</b>

09:56.320 --> 09:58.960
<b>That's good! We're pressuring them!</b>

10:00.370 --> 10:08.830
<b>Different from the excitement in the dugout, catcher Ideguchi felt a sense of discomfort with that foul just now.</b>

10:09.270 --> 10:12.380
<b><i>That was very well-timed.</i></b>

10:13.680 --> 10:19.550
<b><i>The power and the break on the pitch that took it out of the strike zone were combined to force the foul tip.</i></b>

10:20.180 --> 10:24.810
<b><i>If the ball was two ball diameters higher, he would have hit it dead on.</i></b>

10:26.310 --> 10:34.150
<b><i>Rodrigo's well-timed swing at the curveball must have been a lucky guess; either that or our signs were stolen.</i></b>

10:34.150 --> 10:40.510
<b><i>But we just switched our sign system so stealing them is not possible.</i></b>

10:41.050 --> 10:44.450
<b><i>Rodrigo must have hit that curveball out of luck.</i></b>

10:45.110 --> 10:49.080
<b><i>Then, what will he guess the next pitch is?</i></b>

10:49.450 --> 10:54.220
<b><i>A curveball, which is Ishiyama's specialty, but his own weakness?</i></b>

10:54.220 --> 10:57.710
<b><i>Or a fastball after three consecutive slow curveballs?</i></b>

10:57.710 --> 11:00.340
<b><i>But I won't use either one.</i></b>

11:00.650 --> 11:01.720
<b><i>I'll use a forkball here.</i></b>

11:01.720 --> 11:05.380
<b><i>Ishiyama randomly pitched a few forkballs today.</i></b>

11:05.380 --> 11:09.100
<b><i>The enemy would never guess that he'll use a forkball here.</i></b>

11:10.200 --> 11:11.370
<b><i>It's a chance.</i></b>

11:12.560 --> 11:18.460
<b>The count is 1-2. Ishiyama pitches the fourth pitch.</b>

11:19.210 --> 11:21.330
<b><i>Yes! This is it!</i></b>

11:23.210 --> 11:24.870
<b><i>It's the best forkball!</i></b>

11:27.870 --> 11:29.580
<b>It dipped!</b>

11:30.060 --> 11:31.150
<b>Ball!</b>

11:33.000 --> 11:37.000
<b>But Rodrigo didn't fall for it and let it pass.</b>

11:38.430 --> 11:44.500
<b>That last pitch turned Ideguchi's sense of discomfort into conviction.</b>

11:45.620 --> 11:46.450
<b>Time out.</b>

11:47.480 --> 11:48.630
<b>What's wrong?</b>

11:49.810 --> 11:52.380
<b>I strained the finger that was injured yesterday.</b>

11:56.200 --> 11:57.900
<b>Our signs were stolen?</b>

12:03.790 --> 12:07.410
<b>Our signs were stolen? We only set up that system today!</b>

12:08.740 --> 12:12.320
<b>I don't think our system has been compromised yet.</b>

12:12.320 --> 12:19.550
<b>It's just that the BlueMars' current batter, Rodrigo, seems to know we're using pattern three.</b>

12:19.550 --> 12:20.940
<b>Are you sure?</b>

12:20.940 --> 12:22.170
<b>Yeah.</b>

12:22.170 --> 12:25.790
<b>Otherwise, there's no explanation for such a well-timed hit on the curveball,</b>

12:25.790 --> 12:30.810
<b>or letting the forkball pass under pressure.</b>

12:31.540 --> 12:32.920
<b>What's going on?</b>

12:32.920 --> 12:35.060
<b>The reason for it is simple.</b>

12:35.060 --> 12:43.950
<b>The first four batters for the BlueMars today mostly have jersey numbers that are divisible by three.</b>

12:37.940 --> 12:39.440
<b>1st Batter</b>

12:37.940 --> 12:39.440
<b>Arikawa</b>

12:37.940 --> 12:40.980
<b>Pattern</b>

12:39.440 --> 12:40.980
<b>2nd Batter</b>

12:39.440 --> 12:40.980
<b>Yonezawa</b>

12:40.980 --> 12:42.440
<b>3rd Batter</b>

12:40.980 --> 12:42.440
<b>Pattern</b>

12:40.980 --> 12:42.440
<b>Takatsuki</b>

12:42.440 --> 12:43.950
<b>4th Batter</b>

12:42.440 --> 12:43.950
<b>Rodrigo</b>

12:42.440 --> 12:43.950
<b>Pattern</b>

12:45.320 --> 12:46.200
<b>That's true.</b>

12:46.200 --> 12:52.950
<b>I think they're only assuming that our signs switched from pattern one to pattern three.</b>

12:54.110 --> 12:58.050
<b>But the result is evident.</b>

12:58.050 --> 13:01.090
<b>Then it's simple. We'll reset the system right now.</b>

13:01.650 --> 13:03.740
<b>Go back to pattern one.</b>

13:03.740 --> 13:05.000
<b>Right.</b>

13:09.810 --> 13:11.140
<b>Again?</b>

13:11.140 --> 13:12.350
<b>Yes, yes.</b>

13:14.420 --> 13:15.780
<b>Coach Saijima.</b>

13:16.230 --> 13:17.350
<b>Y-Yes.</b>

13:17.900 --> 13:21.360
<b>Reset to pattern one for now.</b>

13:24.810 --> 13:27.490
<b>Reset to pattern one, got it?</b>

13:27.870 --> 13:28.890
<b>Okay.</b>

13:30.810 --> 13:33.970
<b>The game resumes. No outs and bases loaded.</b>

13:33.970 --> 13:37.000
<b>The batter is Rodrigo. The count is 2-2.</b>

13:37.580 --> 13:40.880
<b><i>Next is the decisive pitch. It will be...</i></b>

13:40.880 --> 13:43.130
<b><i>a fastball.</i></b>

13:44.960 --> 13:49.510
<b><i>You must be shocked. Fastballs are Rodrigo's specialty.</i></b>

13:49.510 --> 13:53.410
<b><i>If it was like the earlier plays, throwing a fastball after a few slow pitches would have made sense.</i></b>

13:53.410 --> 13:56.020
<b><i>But this is the first pitch after a timeout...</i></b>

13:56.530 --> 13:59.440
<b><i>However, this situation is special.</i></b>

13:59.440 --> 14:05.400
<b><i>Because they don't know we have reset our signs to pattern one now.</i></b>

14:05.920 --> 14:14.290
<b><i>They think we're still using pattern three, which would mean a curveball here.
</i></b>

14:14.290 --> 14:18.290
<b><i>Therefore, he won't swing. We will definitely defeat him.</i></b>

14:18.780 --> 14:22.150
<b>The pitcher throws the fifth pitch!</b>

14:22.150 --> 14:25.250
<b><i>Yes! A high ball right on the mark. The best fastball!</i></b>

14:25.250 --> 14:28.420
<b>It's a hit! It goes straight to the centre fence.</b>

14:28.420 --> 14:30.550
<b>The runner on third reaches home easily!</b>

14:30.550 --> 14:33.560
<b>And the runner on second is also heading home!</b>

14:34.460 --> 14:35.600
<b>Safe!</b>

14:35.600 --> 14:36.810
<b>A two RBI hit!</b>

14:36.810 --> 14:41.370
<b>The BlueMars take a two run lead with a hit from their heavy hitter, Rodrigo.</b>

14:43.060 --> 14:44.930
<b><i>Why?</i></b>

14:44.930 --> 14:46.570
<b><i>Why can he hit it?</i></b>

14:46.990 --> 14:50.450
<b><i>We just changed the sign pattern.</i></b>

14:50.970 --> 14:56.450
<b>I say... Those guys are really surprising.</b>

14:56.450 --> 14:59.730
<b>Tokuchi, let's change the sign pattern again.</b>

15:01.290 --> 15:05.960
<b>Everyone, we'll change to pattern two from now on.</b>

15:07.250 --> 15:09.320
<b>Didn't we just change it?</b>

15:09.320 --> 15:11.970
<b>Be quiet and give Ideguchi instructions.</b>

15:12.940 --> 15:14.300
<b>Ideguchi.</b>

15:20.680 --> 15:23.350
<b><i>The sign pattern is changed to two.</i></b>

15:23.960 --> 15:24.860
<b><i>Okay.</i></b>

15:26.070 --> 15:27.370
<b>But...</b>

15:28.930 --> 15:29.990
<b>It's a hit!</b>

15:30.900 --> 15:31.990
<b>A-Again?!</b>

15:32.400 --> 15:37.400
<b>It's a hit to centre field! The runner on third returns home easily! The third run!</b>

15:37.400 --> 15:40.550
<b>Rodrigo reaches third base. There are no outs and runners on first and third.</b>

15:40.550 --> 15:43.000
<b>The BlueMars' batting lineup is unstoppable!</b>

15:43.540 --> 15:46.750
<b><i>We already adjusted our plans and changed the sign pattern.</i></b>

15:47.600 --> 15:50.630
<b><i>Why? Why can't we deceive them?</i></b>

15:50.630 --> 15:54.210
<b>Tokuchi, one more time. Change the signs one more time.</b>

15:54.210 --> 15:55.500
<b>Geez.</b>

15:56.210 --> 15:59.520
<b>The sign pattern from now on is one.</b>

16:00.760 --> 16:02.310
<b>Changing it again?</b>

16:02.310 --> 16:02.770
<b>Yes.</b>

16:03.460 --> 16:04.650
<b>But...</b>

16:05.370 --> 16:08.160
<b>It passes between third and short! It's a hit!</b>

16:08.160 --> 16:12.520
<b>The runner on third, Rodrigo, returns home easily and scores the fourth run.</b>

16:12.520 --> 16:16.490
<b>It's unstoppable. The BlueMars' consecutive hits are unstoppable!</b>

16:16.490 --> 16:18.610
<b><i>W-Why?</i></b>

16:18.610 --> 16:21.660
<b><i>What's going on? Our signs have been completely stolen?!</i></b>

16:22.900 --> 16:25.640
<b><i>No matter how we change the pattern, those guys still...</i></b>

16:27.840 --> 16:32.830
<b>Is it because your sign system doesn't work?</b>

16:32.830 --> 16:34.180
<b>What do you mean?</b>

16:34.180 --> 16:39.130
<b>Right now, it's obvious that those guys are very organized in stealing signs.</b>

16:39.930 --> 16:44.440
<b>So even if we change the sign for each batter, it still won't work.</b>

16:45.370 --> 16:49.830
<b>They're probably using hidden cameras to capture the catcher's signs.</b>

16:49.830 --> 16:53.820
<b>And then have someone translate it before sending it to the batter.</b>

16:54.320 --> 17:00.330
<b>Fastball</b>

16:54.580 --> 16:57.490
<b>Our signs between the battery are like this:</b>

16:55.570 --> 17:02.830
<b>Forkball</b>

16:56.820 --> 17:00.330
<b>Curveball</b>

16:58.310 --> 17:02.100
<b>If this is the forkball from pattern two, then all the other ones are dummy.</b>

17:00.330 --> 17:02.830
<b>Fastball</b>

17:00.330 --> 17:02.830
<b>Curveball</b>

17:03.600 --> 17:09.210
<b>Following the sign system invented by Tokuchi, although the sign changes according to jersey number,</b>

17:10.060 --> 17:14.590
<b>when facing the same batter, the pattern will be the same.</b>

17:14.590 --> 17:30.650
Fastball

17:14.590 --> 17:18.090
Forkball

17:14.590 --> 17:30.650
Curveball

17:15.310 --> 17:19.710
<b>For example, if the first pitch is fastball, forkball, curveball, it's actually a forkball.</b>

17:18.090 --> 17:18.140
Forkball

17:18.140 --> 17:18.180
Forkball

17:18.180 --> 17:33.610
Forkball

17:20.010 --> 17:30.650
Forkball

17:20.010 --> 17:23.020
Fastball

17:20.010 --> 17:30.650
Curveball

17:20.380 --> 17:24.750
<b>If the second pitch is forkball, fastball, curveball, it's actually a fastball.</b>

17:23.020 --> 17:23.060
Fastball

17:23.060 --> 17:23.100
Fastball

17:23.100 --> 17:33.610
Fastball

17:25.020 --> 17:30.650
Curveball

17:25.020 --> 17:28.270
Fastball

17:25.020 --> 17:30.650
Forkball

17:25.550 --> 17:29.910
<b>If the third pitch is curveball, fastball, forkball, it's actually a fastball.</b>

17:28.270 --> 17:28.310
Fastball

17:28.310 --> 17:28.350
Fastball

17:28.350 --> 17:33.610
Fastball

17:30.610 --> 17:33.610
<b>In the end, they will translate it as pattern two.</b>

17:30.650 --> 17:33.610
Fastball

17:30.650 --> 17:33.610
Curveball

17:30.650 --> 17:33.610
Forkball

17:30.650 --> 17:33.610
Curveball

17:30.650 --> 17:33.610
Curveball

17:30.650 --> 17:33.610
Forkball

17:34.180 --> 17:37.860
<b>That means, this system is useless against those guys.</b>

17:38.580 --> 17:44.090
<b>We thought we'd cripple their sign stealing method, but it has made us constantly change our sign patterns.</b>

17:46.100 --> 17:47.380
<b>I say...</b>

17:48.800 --> 17:52.550
<b>Lycaons' pitching change announcement.</b>

17:52.550 --> 17:57.720
<b>Unfortunately, Ishiyama, who has been pitching well until the third inning, is suddenly switched off.</b>

17:58.600 --> 18:00.640
<b>...you don't know anything at all.</b>

18:01.570 --> 18:02.640
<b>What are you saying?</b>

18:02.640 --> 18:08.390
<b>As you said, it's true that they'll understand the system after seeing two or three pitches.</b>

18:09.780 --> 18:14.130
<b>Then how come Arikawa, the first batter of this inning, swung at the first pitch?</b>

18:17.090 --> 18:23.030
<b>Everyone listen to me carefully. Let's change the sign pattern again.</b>

18:23.030 --> 18:26.420
<b>From now on, we change the sign pattern after every pitch.</b>

18:27.540 --> 18:28.870
<b>And how we do that?</b>

18:28.870 --> 18:33.200
<b>This time, the strike count will be the base for the pattern change.</b>

18:33.200 --> 18:36.500
<b>For example, if there's one strike, then it's pattern one.</b>

18:36.500 --> 18:39.670
<b>Two strike means it's pattern two.</b>

18:39.670 --> 18:42.990
<b>When there are no strikes, it's pattern three?</b>

18:42.990 --> 18:44.520
<b>Exactly.</b>

18:44.520 --> 18:45.660
<b>Tokuchi...</b>

18:46.700 --> 18:50.190
<b>I've considered what you said awhile ago.</b>

18:50.190 --> 18:55.820
<b>We have to test things out first. That's what I told the manager earlier.</b>

18:55.820 --> 19:00.610
<b>Try and see if this can stop them from stealing our signs or not.</b>

19:02.050 --> 19:04.360
<b>No outs and runners on first and third.</b>

19:04.360 --> 19:07.330
<b>Lycaons' second pitcher is the right-handed Nishioka.</b>

19:07.740 --> 19:10.330
<b>Can he stop the onslaught?</b>

19:13.640 --> 19:17.210
<b><i>There are no strikes right now. So it's pattern three.</i></b>

19:17.210 --> 19:18.260
<b><i>A fastball?</i></b>

19:21.730 --> 19:22.970
<b>Strike!</b>

19:22.970 --> 19:27.140
<b>The first pitch is a high fastball. The count is 0-1.</b>

19:28.400 --> 19:30.480
<b>A curveball, according to pattern one.</b>

19:32.440 --> 19:33.600
<b>Ball!</b>

19:33.600 --> 19:37.230
<b>The second pitch is a curveball, but it's off. The count is 1-1.</b>

19:37.230 --> 19:40.860
<b>Keep using pattern one. A fastball.</b>

19:42.770 --> 19:43.710
<b>Strike!</b>

19:44.110 --> 19:47.900
<b>The batter is under pressure now. The count is 1-2.</b>

19:47.900 --> 19:50.480
<b>Tokuchi, this is looking good.</b>

19:50.480 --> 19:52.250
<b>Who knows.</b>

19:54.250 --> 19:58.380
<b>Does the battery plan to finish it off or waste another pitch?</b>

19:58.890 --> 20:01.690
<b><i>Of course, we'll finish it off.</i></b>

20:04.600 --> 20:07.890
<b>The pitcher throws the fourth pitch!</b>

20:11.100 --> 20:12.360
<b>It's a hit!</b>

20:12.360 --> 20:15.250
<b>The ball flies over second and lands between right and centre field.</b>

20:15.250 --> 20:20.440
<b>One runner returns home and the runner on first is rounding third!</b>

20:21.030 --> 20:22.190
<b>Safe!</b>

20:22.190 --> 20:23.880
<b>The sixth run!</b>

20:23.880 --> 20:27.490
<b>The BlueMars actually got seven consecutive hits in this inning!</b>

20:30.710 --> 20:33.460
<b>His swing-time was perfect for hitting that curveball.</b>

20:34.230 --> 20:35.520
<b>Why?</b>

20:35.520 --> 20:39.920
<b>We change the pattern after every pitch, but our signs are still completely stolen!</b>

20:41.690 --> 20:45.150
<b>There's only one explanation for this.</b>

20:46.560 --> 20:48.720
<b>We have been wiretapped.</b>

20:50.190 --> 20:51.220
<b>Wiretapped?!</b>

20:52.940 --> 20:55.420
<b>There's nothing wrong with our sign system.</b>

20:55.420 --> 20:58.730
<b>All our strategies have been wiretapped.</b>

20:59.570 --> 21:02.700
<b>The manager's office, the meeting room...</b>

21:03.220 --> 21:06.110
<b>There are probably detectaphones everywhere in this stadium.</b>

21:08.130 --> 21:14.620
<b>Right now, even this dugout is being wiretapped.</b>

22:30.610 --> 22:39.290
<b>Next</b>

22:30.610 --> 22:39.290
<b>Wiretapped</b>
