<b>In the third game against the BlueMars, the BlueMars used an unbelievable way to steal signs.</b>

01:27.810 --> 01:31.320
<b>Episode 22</b>

01:27.810 --> 01:31.320
<b>Wiretapped</b>

01:31.900 --> 01:34.070
<b>We've been wiretapped.</b>

01:35.840 --> 01:36.970
<b>Wiretapped?!</b>

01:37.270 --> 01:41.470
<b>Information from the dugout such as changing the sign patterns has been stolen through a wiretap.</b>

01:41.990 --> 01:44.760
<b>This is reflected by their shady signals.</b>

01:44.760 --> 01:46.210
<b>Where can it be?</b>

01:46.210 --> 01:49.330
<b>Don't be so obvious. They'll notice.</b>

01:49.880 --> 01:52.810
<b>But you said we're being wiretapped.</b>

01:52.810 --> 01:56.340
<b>That means there are wiretaps everywhere in the dugout.</b>

01:56.860 --> 02:01.600
<b>No. There are risks in installing wiretaps.</b>

02:02.230 --> 02:07.470
<b>If they're caught with wiretaps in their home stadium, it would become a serious issue.</b>

02:08.980 --> 02:11.470
<b>At most, there are one or two wiretaps.</b>

02:11.790 --> 02:17.110
<b>And they will be in extremely well hidden locations, making them almost impossible to find.</b>

02:17.570 --> 02:19.000
<b>One or two?</b>

02:19.350 --> 02:20.930
<b>That can't be.</b>

02:21.280 --> 02:22.370
<b>Why's that?</b>

02:22.860 --> 02:27.660
<b>The strategies during our attacks are only passed onto the batters.</b>

02:27.660 --> 02:31.730
<b>Any changes to the strategies are given verbally.</b>

02:31.730 --> 02:35.880
<b>Additionally, most of the time, all the players are yelling towards the field.</b>

02:36.550 --> 02:40.640
<b>Yet, you say they planned their strategies with only one or two wiretaps.</b>

02:41.010 --> 02:42.220
<b>That's impossible!</b>

02:42.540 --> 02:43.640
<b>Not necessarily.</b>

02:44.830 --> 02:50.030
<b>No matter how our strategies are conveyed, there is one similarity.</b>

02:50.030 --> 02:51.480
<b>A similarity?</b>

02:52.130 --> 02:57.680
<b>Regardless of the situation, the message always comes from the manager.</b>

02:59.970 --> 03:04.620
<b>Therefore, they only need one wiretap to receive the sound around the manager.</b>

03:05.360 --> 03:06.290
<b>That's true.</b>

03:07.500 --> 03:12.120
<b><i>Everyone, we'll change to pattern two from now on.</i></b>

03:12.490 --> 03:15.630
<b><i>From now on, we change the sign pattern after every pitch.</i></b>

03:17.460 --> 03:21.970
<b>If that's the case, it explains why our sign patterns are deciphered every time.</b>

03:22.910 --> 03:29.010
<b>Our strategy in yesterday's game was successful only because Fat Lips knew nothing about it.</b>

03:29.740 --> 03:33.520
<b>That means we found a loophole in their wiretapping.</b>

03:33.960 --> 03:39.140
<b>But it's not easy to wiretap the wide area around the manager.</b>

03:39.140 --> 03:41.030
<b>Could the bug be on the manager's clothing?</b>

03:41.510 --> 03:43.370
<b>That's too big of a risk.</b>

03:43.670 --> 03:49.540
<b>Even if they successfully put a wiretap there, they would have to retrieve it afterwards. It'd most likely be discovered.</b>

03:50.000 --> 03:51.380
<b>Then how?</b>

03:52.130 --> 03:54.420
<b>He's a living person that can walk around...</b>

03:56.250 --> 04:00.940
<b>That's right. It's possible to bug the manager.</b>

04:01.350 --> 04:06.970
<b>That's because the manager is the most stationary member of the dugout.</b>

04:08.560 --> 04:16.430
<b>Not only that, including Fat Lips, all the other managers also stand at the same position in the dugout.</b>

04:16.860 --> 04:18.190
<b>Which is over there.</b>

04:19.320 --> 04:22.160
<b>When he stands there, it's very hard for the opposing team's dugout and catcher to see him.</b>

04:22.710 --> 04:26.200
<b>In other words, that's the best spot to discuss secret strategies.</b>

04:26.950 --> 04:28.580
<b>Which means, the wiretap is there.</b>

04:32.380 --> 04:33.080
<b>Damn it.</b>

04:34.940 --> 04:36.460
<b>What're you planning to do?</b>

04:37.520 --> 04:40.710
<b>Isn't it obvious? I'm going to find the wiretap!</b>

04:41.290 --> 04:45.710
<b>Didn't I say this already? You won't be able to find it that easily.</b>

04:46.060 --> 04:50.350
<b>Also, the game will continue while you're searching for the wiretap.</b>

04:50.350 --> 04:51.880
<b>Then what should we do?</b>

04:51.880 --> 04:54.790
<b>Just let them wiretap us freely?</b>

04:55.250 --> 04:59.740
<b>What we should do now is move that guy away from there.</b>

05:00.940 --> 05:08.240
<b>Tokuchi gathered everyone at the centre of the dugout and gave Mihara a memo with instructions for changing the sign pattern.</b>

05:08.250 --> 05:12.700
<b>Gather members  at the centre</b>

05:08.250 --> 05:12.700
<b>of the dugout and give</b>

05:08.250 --> 05:12.700
<b>the following instruction</b>

05:08.250 --> 05:12.700
<b>[ Change the sign</b>

05:08.250 --> 05:12.700
<b>pattern to</b>

05:08.250 --> 05:12.700
<b>(Tokuchi's Pattern) ]</b>

05:09.200 --> 05:10.710
<b>What?</b>

05:13.020 --> 05:15.480
<b>We'll change the sign pattern again.</b>

05:17.010 --> 05:18.750
<b>We'll use Tokuchi's pattern from now on.</b>

05:19.170 --> 05:21.250
<b>A-Again?</b>

05:22.010 --> 05:26.120
<b>It'll be fine this time since the instructions are given away from the wiretapped location.</b>

05:26.120 --> 05:28.510
<b><i>The batter is left fielder...</i></b>

05:28.760 --> 05:31.670
<b>It's a hit! Between right and centre! Both runners safe!</b>

05:31.670 --> 05:35.810
<b>The seventh run! The BlueMars have eight consecutive hits!</b>

05:36.390 --> 05:37.470
<b>How come?</b>

05:38.050 --> 05:42.160
<b>The count was 2-2. They should have thought it was pattern two.</b>

05:43.020 --> 05:45.320
<b>But we used pattern one.</b>

05:46.060 --> 05:47.290
<b>They saw through us again.</b>

05:48.040 --> 05:48.920
<b>Why?</b>

05:50.220 --> 05:51.430
<b>What's happening?</b>

05:51.930 --> 05:54.890
<b>We moved the manager away, but they still knew about the pattern change.</b>

05:55.520 --> 05:57.400
<b>Tokuchi, why's that?</b>

05:58.580 --> 06:04.030
<b>It's simple. Their strategy is more advanced than I expected.</b>

06:04.430 --> 06:05.840
<b>That's all.</b>

06:06.970 --> 06:09.650
<b><i>Tokuchi's... cornered.</i></b>

06:10.710 --> 06:14.420
<b>Anyway, we'll have to change the sign pattern one more time.</b>

06:15.860 --> 06:18.850
<b><i>It's the first time I've seen Tokuchi...</i></b>

06:20.100 --> 06:21.800
<b><i>...without a follow-up plan.</i></b>

06:23.090 --> 06:24.390
<b><i>Will we lose?</i></b>

06:25.020 --> 06:29.640
<b><i>Will we get completely beaten by the enemy?</i></b>

06:35.340 --> 06:37.870
<b>Everyone please gather around.</b>

06:39.200 --> 06:40.870
<b>Again?!</b>

06:41.960 --> 06:47.510
<b>As Tokuchi instructed, Mihara gathered the coach and the players at a different location.</b>

06:54.390 --> 06:56.420
<b>Then, just like this.</b>

06:57.350 --> 06:59.770
<b>I see. So they're using that.</b>

07:00.940 --> 07:02.920
<b>Tokuchi, did you figure out something?</b>

07:04.480 --> 07:07.570
<b>I know why the manager is bugged no matter where he goes,</b>

07:08.950 --> 07:12.010
<b>as well as where the wiretap is.</b>

07:12.840 --> 07:14.550
<b>W-Where is it?</b>

07:14.550 --> 07:17.910
<b>Before that, we must stop this terrible onslaught.</b>

07:26.270 --> 07:32.050
<b>What's going on? The practice balls are scattered all over the area by the Lycaons' dugout beside the third base.</b>

07:33.130 --> 07:33.950
<b>T-Timeout.</b>

07:34.480 --> 07:37.220
<b>What are you doing? We are in the middle of the game.</b>

07:38.670 --> 07:41.020
<b>I'm sorry. It was an accident.</b>

07:41.020 --> 07:49.470
<b><i>The game is temporarily stopped in order to clean up the practice balls.</i></b>

07:45.100 --> 07:47.660
<b>What is that guy up to?</b>

07:48.920 --> 07:50.030
<b>Ideguchi.</b>

07:53.080 --> 07:58.540
<b>The reason why I called everyone here is because the manager wants to change the sign pattern again.</b>

08:00.290 --> 08:03.080
<b>W-Why is the manager himself shocked about this?</b>

08:04.100 --> 08:07.290
<b>No. That's...</b>

08:07.290 --> 08:11.260
<b>But we just changed the pattern.</b>

08:11.260 --> 08:12.060
<b>That's right.</b>

08:13.590 --> 08:16.880
<b>But just changing the pattern didn't seem to have much effect.</b>

08:16.880 --> 08:19.120
<b>So, we'll alter the way we change the pattern.</b>

08:19.690 --> 08:22.280
<b>This time we use the sum of the count.</b>

08:22.810 --> 08:24.270
<b>Sum of the count?</b>

08:24.890 --> 08:30.760
<b>For example, if the count is one strike and one ball, the sum would be two. So, use pattern two.</b>

08:28.060 --> 08:31.490
<b>Sum of the count is 2</b>

08:28.060 --> 08:31.490
<b>= Pattern 2</b>

08:31.640 --> 08:36.290
<b>When the sum is four or five, you divide it by three.</b>

08:33.950 --> 08:40.160
<b>Sum of the count</b>

08:33.950 --> 08:40.160
<b>is 4 - 3</b>

08:33.950 --> 08:40.160
<b>= Pattern 1</b>

08:36.290 --> 08:40.700
<b>If the sum is four, divide it by three and the remainder is one. So, use pattern one.</b>

08:40.700 --> 08:43.790
<b>Sum of the count is 0</b>

08:40.700 --> 08:43.790
<b>= Pattern 3</b>

08:41.010 --> 08:43.790
<b>If the sum is zero, we use pattern three.</b>

08:45.780 --> 08:47.540
<b>It's getting more and more complicated.</b>

08:48.640 --> 08:51.150
<b><i>I don't get it at all.</i></b>

08:52.510 --> 08:56.670
<b>So, the cleanup's done and the game is about to resume.</b>

08:58.230 --> 08:59.460
<b><i>What was that about?</i></b>

09:00.110 --> 09:05.480
<b><i>Where he just instructed the sign pattern change was the same location the manager gave instructions earlier.</i></b>

09:06.390 --> 09:09.550
<b><i>But we have to stop the onslaught.</i></b>

09:10.660 --> 09:15.650
<b><i>Hmm... Since there's no count, we'll use pattern three.</i></b>

09:20.900 --> 09:21.950
<b>Strike!</b>

09:30.690 --> 09:31.630
<b>Strike two!</b>

09:34.600 --> 09:36.680
<b>Strike! Batter out!</b>

09:37.520 --> 09:39.550
<b>Strike! Batter out!</b>

09:39.980 --> 09:42.430
<b>Strike! Batter out!</b>

09:42.960 --> 09:44.680
<b>Three batters struck out consecutively.</b>

09:44.680 --> 09:49.270
<b>The lengthy attack of the BlueMars in this inning finally comes to an end.</b>

09:50.870 --> 09:53.860
<b>It seems like they didn't decipher it this time.</b>

09:54.990 --> 09:58.550
<b>What do you mean? How come they didn't decipher it this time?</b>

09:59.160 --> 10:04.400
<b>Why do you think our sign pattern was still deciphered after we changed the manager's location before?</b>

10:04.730 --> 10:07.940
<b>That's because there aren't that many wiretaps in the dugout afterall.</b>

10:08.390 --> 10:11.590
<b>Then they should have known our last pattern change.</b>

10:12.160 --> 10:13.040
<b>That's true.</b>

10:13.420 --> 10:15.070
<b>But they didn't know.</b>

10:16.230 --> 10:17.630
<b>I'm certain now.</b>

10:18.140 --> 10:19.570
<b>There's only one wiretap.</b>

10:20.270 --> 10:26.600
<b>And it's set up at a place where it's the easiest to receive the manager's voice, yet difficult to detect.</b>

10:27.020 --> 10:31.720
<b>That's impossible. Receiving the manager's voice with only one wiretap while he's moving.</b>

10:32.040 --> 10:34.330
<b>It's possible and simple.</b>

10:35.380 --> 10:37.590
<b>If the wiretap moves along with the manager.</b>

10:38.920 --> 10:39.950
<b>How?!</b>

10:40.650 --> 10:43.620
<b>There's someone carrying a wiretap around the manager?</b>

10:44.490 --> 10:45.370
<b><i>Could it be...</i></b>

10:46.200 --> 10:48.860
<b><i>Could it be that in this dugout...</i></b>

10:51.880 --> 10:54.280
<b><i>...someone's carrying a wiretap?</i></b>

11:03.220 --> 11:06.850
<b>Is there a spy from the BlueMars here?</b>

11:07.540 --> 11:09.600
<b>That was a hasty conclusion.</b>

11:11.410 --> 11:17.110
<b>Even without spies, aren't there already outsiders around the manager?</b>

11:25.290 --> 11:26.490
<b>Ballboy?</b>

11:27.770 --> 11:33.500
<b>The location where the manager usually stands is only a few meters away from the location of the ballboys.</b>

11:34.550 --> 11:37.590
<b>Also, when the manager moved to give out instructions earlier,</b>

11:39.150 --> 11:45.600
<b>I noticed they pretended to work for no apparent reason, and knelt beside the players twice.</b>

11:47.280 --> 11:50.840
<b>They probably have mics hidden under their clothing.</b>

11:51.550 --> 11:54.660
<b>That way they can clearly capture the manager's instructions.</b>

11:55.040 --> 12:00.510
<b>And because the wiretap isn't in a fixed location, it's almost impossible to discover.</b>

12:00.510 --> 12:01.360
<b>Is that so?</b>

12:02.140 --> 12:07.370
<b>That's why you purposely kicked over the ball box earlier in order to move the ballboys away from the dugout.</b>

12:08.570 --> 12:11.200
<b>Therefore, they didn't notice we changed the sign pattern.</b>

12:12.110 --> 12:13.160
<b>Damn it.</b>

12:13.160 --> 12:14.690
<b>Don't be mistaken.</b>

12:14.690 --> 12:15.370
<b>What?</b>

12:16.330 --> 12:21.800
<b>Even if you find the wiretap, there's no evidence showing the BlueMars are behind it.</b>

12:22.400 --> 12:30.680
<b>And if we want to catch up on the seven runs we gave up, we'll need their help.</b>

12:37.890 --> 12:39.770
<b>B-Ballboy?</b>

12:40.150 --> 12:42.430
<b>Ideguchi, you're too loud.</b>

12:43.940 --> 12:45.950
<b>Tokuchi, what now?</b>

12:46.450 --> 12:47.910
<b>Isn't it obvious?</b>

12:48.710 --> 12:51.220
<b>We'll have them pay for this.</b>

12:52.980 --> 12:55.540
<b>Listen, watch for the pitch now.</b>

12:55.790 --> 12:58.350
<b>We can't have them looking down on us.</b>

12:58.350 --> 13:00.880
<b>Target the fastball. Got it, everyone?</b>

13:00.880 --> 13:04.320
<b>Let the breaking balls pass. Don't swing at those. Absolutely not!</b>

13:04.320 --> 13:07.390
<b>Don't swing at the breaking balls. Aim for the fastballs.</b>

13:07.910 --> 13:10.890
<b>It looks like the game is already decided.</b>

13:12.560 --> 13:15.700
<b>The opponent has lost the will to fight.</b>

13:15.700 --> 13:18.030
<b>We'll aim for a perfect game.</b>

13:18.890 --> 13:20.090
<b>Let's go!</b>

13:21.750 --> 13:24.840
<b>Everyone, don't loosen up just because we have a few runs.</b>

13:24.840 --> 13:27.410
<b>Nothing is decided in baseball before the game is set.</b>

13:27.920 --> 13:28.900
<b>Yes.</b>

13:32.240 --> 13:36.560
<b>Sawamura, the opponent is aiming for fastballs this inning.</b>

13:36.560 --> 13:38.320
<b>Throw as many curveballs as you want.</b>

13:38.970 --> 13:40.170
<b>I understand.</b>

13:41.050 --> 13:43.090
<b>Thank you for all the information you provide.</b>

13:45.220 --> 13:50.420
<b>The BlueMars' director, Manager Tendou, is a treasure in the baseball world.</b>

13:50.420 --> 13:58.020
<b>However, the vital person in the dugout is his assistant coach, Shirooka Takashi.</b>

13:58.420 --> 14:03.940
<b>He's the younger brother of the Bugaboos' Manager Shirooka and the mastermind behind this trick stadium.</b>

14:04.900 --> 14:06.440
<b>Strike!</b>

14:06.860 --> 14:12.280
<b>The leadoff batter, Kondoh, has already given up two strikes.</b>

14:12.960 --> 14:17.200
<b>That's two consecutive curveballs. The next one must be a fastball.</b>

14:17.200 --> 14:20.620
<b>Send a sign to Kondoh to alert him of the next fastball.</b>

14:20.620 --> 14:22.050
<b>Yes, I'm on it.</b>

14:23.100 --> 14:26.670
<b>As long as you guys are waiting for fastballs, we'll use curveballs.</b>

14:28.070 --> 14:31.340
<b>Pitcher Shirokami throws the third pitch.</b>

14:32.260 --> 14:33.010
<b>It's a hit!</b>

14:33.870 --> 14:35.640
<b>The ball flies over the right fielder's head!</b>

14:37.510 --> 14:40.200
<b>No way. He pitched a curveball according to instructions.</b>

14:40.950 --> 14:42.610
<b>Throw to third!</b>

14:45.420 --> 14:46.550
<b>Safe!</b>

14:46.550 --> 14:48.160
<b>A triple!</b>

14:48.160 --> 14:51.700
<b>It's the first time the Lycaons have a runner on third!</b>

14:52.020 --> 14:57.370
<b>That bastard, swinging at the curveball. Good thing it turned into a hit.</b>

14:57.920 --> 14:59.850
<b>Did Kondoh act on his own?</b>

15:00.730 --> 15:05.530
<b>Could it be that Shirokami was tired and pitched a simple curveball?</b>

15:05.530 --> 15:08.990
<b>Then let's keep it up and wear him out more.</b>

15:10.070 --> 15:14.510
<b>Then we won't waste any pitches. We'll get a strike with the first pitch.</b>

15:17.700 --> 15:19.280
<b>The pitcher... throws!</b>

15:20.290 --> 15:22.150
<b>A squeeze bunt on the first pitch!</b>

15:21.260 --> 15:21.900
<b><i>What?</i></b>

15:23.230 --> 15:25.690
<b>The battery didn't expect it!</b>

15:28.850 --> 15:30.130
<b>Safe!</b>

15:30.130 --> 15:32.790
<b>The Lycaons earned a run!</b>

15:33.120 --> 15:35.850
<b>W-What was that about?</b>

15:36.150 --> 15:37.540
<b>It's simple.</b>

15:38.160 --> 15:42.150
<b>The wiretapped manager's intention differs from the players.</b>

15:42.150 --> 15:43.790
<b>Different intentions?</b>

15:43.790 --> 15:47.550
<b>Earlier, I sent around this memo to everyone except the manager and the assistant coach.</b>

15:49.550 --> 15:51.550
Sign Change

15:49.550 --> 15:51.550
Slide the sign from

15:49.550 --> 15:51.550
dugout with Tokuchi's

15:49.550 --> 15:51.550

15:50.800 --> 15:55.300
number.

15:50.800 --> 15:55.300
Slide

15:50.800 --> 15:55.300

15:50.800 --> 15:55.300
Mihara

15:50.940 --> 15:55.300
<b>Slide the dugout's sign with Tokuchi's number.</b>

15:55.740 --> 15:56.840
<b>Slide?</b>

15:57.420 --> 16:02.010
<b>Slide is a method for changing the sign between the battery.</b>

<b>For the last batter, the coach's sign for the first pitch is to wait.</b>

16:18.980 --> 16:22.300
<b>But I gave the three-up slide sign.</b>

16:19.290 --> 16:24.790
<b>Wait on First Pitch</b>

16:19.290 --> 16:24.790
<b>Wait on First Pitch</b>

16:19.290 --> 16:24.790
<b>Squeeze Play</b>

16:19.290 --> 16:24.790
<b>Squeeze Play</b>

16:22.300 --> 16:24.230
<b>So, the first pitch was a squeeze play.</b>

16:25.460 --> 16:29.330
<b>I see. The batter thinks it's Manager Mihara's instructions.</b>

16:29.650 --> 16:32.470
<b>Make the manager's intention differ from the batters'?</b>

16:32.970 --> 16:42.280
<b>The important part of this strategy is that the manager and the assistant coach don't know I'm giving out slide signs.</b>

16:44.970 --> 16:47.200
<b>Tokuchi's strategy is successful.</b>

16:47.880 --> 16:52.340
<b>In this inning's attack, the Lycaons took advantage of the BlueMars' wiretapping,</b>

16:52.340 --> 16:56.740
<b>and managed to pull closer thanks to Tokuchi's slide signs.</b>

16:57.370 --> 17:03.010
<b>The BlueMars' Shirooka is puzzled by Mihara's voice from his earpiece.</b>

17:03.620 --> 17:08.210
<b>Whenever there's a hit, Mihara repeats the same sound of discontent and anger.</b>

17:08.210 --> 17:12.580
<b>Hearing that, he can only conclude that it's caused by a chain of errors with the signs.</b>

17:13.840 --> 17:17.420
<b>That guy actually ignored my sign and swung at the first pitch!</b>

17:17.420 --> 17:18.530
<b>I'll teach him a lesson!</b>

17:18.880 --> 17:22.390
<b>You shouldn't do that. Just ignore it when it's successful.</b>

17:23.900 --> 17:32.840
<b>Since he relies too much on the wiretapping, Shirooka isn't aware that he has pushed himself into a maze.</b>

17:34.400 --> 17:38.740
<b>The game is now completely in Tokuchi's hands.</b>

17:39.660 --> 17:45.590
<b>The Lycaons managed to earn four runs in this inning and cut the lead to three.</b>

17:46.550 --> 17:48.760
<b>Don't worry about them catching up.</b>

17:48.760 --> 17:50.860
<b>It'll be fine if we score some runs later on.</b>

17:50.860 --> 17:54.050
<b>We'll win as long as we have more runs than them.</b>

17:54.450 --> 17:55.180
<b>Yes.</b>

17:56.870 --> 17:59.000
<b>It's a hit! It's going far!</b>

17:59.000 --> 18:00.800
<b>The runner is rounding second!</b>

18:03.520 --> 18:04.320
<b>Safe!</b>

18:05.500 --> 18:08.640
<b>Surprisingly, the first batter, Takatsuki, got a triple!</b>

18:08.640 --> 18:10.860
<b>The BlueMars begin their counterattack!</b>

18:12.380 --> 18:14.860
<b><i>The fourth batter is the first baseman, Rodrigo.</i></b>

18:15.320 --> 18:19.030
<b>The current batter is the heavy hitter, Rodrigo.</b>

18:19.980 --> 18:22.370
<b>Good! We can do it!</b>

18:24.930 --> 18:27.160
<b>Manager Mihara is coming out.</b>

18:28.500 --> 18:30.800
<b>Pitcher Nishioka to first base.</b>

18:30.800 --> 18:35.630
<b>Then, pitching change with Tokuchi.</b>

18:39.770 --> 18:43.890
<b>And as expected, Tokuchi's coming on in these circumstances again, Ishimoto-san.</b>

18:44.310 --> 18:50.710
<b>Putting Nishioka on first base means they'll have him pitch again later on.</b>

18:50.710 --> 18:54.700
<b>When there's danger, they'll use Tokuchi. That must be their plan.</b>

18:56.080 --> 18:57.570
<b>Now that's more like it.</b>

18:58.750 --> 19:04.320
<b>If he doesn't play, I can't put my plan to work.</b>

19:06.380 --> 19:12.960
<b>Faced with the situation of no outs and a runner on third, with the heavy hitter, Rodrigo, at bat, Tokuchi doesn't waver at all.</b>

19:13.730 --> 19:15.460
<b>He's even smiling.</b>

19:16.090 --> 19:17.220
<b>Tokuchi!</b>

19:17.220 --> 19:21.790
<b>Since you're tired from pitching consecutively, you'll be crushed by Rodrigo in one hit!</b>

19:22.590 --> 19:29.270
<b>Pitching consecutively did tire me out, so I don't want to waste any pitches.</b>

19:29.270 --> 19:30.230
<b>Therefore...</b>

19:31.230 --> 19:33.770
<b>I'll finish this guy off with three pitches.</b>

19:38.710 --> 19:43.180
<b>Tokuchi's actually telling Rodrigo, he'll finish him off with three pitches!</b>

19:43.180 --> 19:47.490
<b>He belittled him! This man's taking baseball too lightly!</b>

19:48.380 --> 19:51.580
<b>The anticipated first pitch... is thrown!</b>

19:52.820 --> 19:53.710
<b>Foul!</b>

19:56.430 --> 19:57.440
<b>Foul!</b>

20:20.860 --> 20:23.490
<b>Strike! Batter out!</b>

20:24.100 --> 20:26.240
<b>Rodrigo struck out swinging!</b>

20:26.240 --> 20:30.930
<b>Just as he said, Tokuchi used three pitches to strike out the batter!</b>

20:33.920 --> 20:35.000
<b>Strike!</b>

20:35.570 --> 20:37.130
<b>Batter out!</b>

20:37.910 --> 20:39.690
<b>Struck out swinging!</b>

20:39.690 --> 20:41.350
<b>The runner on third is left on base.</b>

20:41.350 --> 20:46.920
<b>In the bottom of the sixth, Tokuchi struck out three batters consecutively in the BlueMars' attack.</b>

20:50.790 --> 20:52.370
<b>Keep going, keep going.</b>

20:52.920 --> 20:56.410
<b>Your luck will run out when you get on the pitcher's mound happily.</b>

20:57.140 --> 20:59.850
<b>You don't even know that you've fallen into a trap.</b>

21:04.120 --> 21:06.200
<b><i>T-Tokuchi.</i></b>

21:06.650 --> 21:11.650
<b>Tokuchi Toua begins a comeback against the BlueMars' trick stadium,</b>

21:11.650 --> 21:17.550
<b>but there are many more despicable traps laying ahead of him.</b>
