Strike out!

You did it!

The Bats have finally gotten to first place in the Eastern Division!

Shigeno recorded his 19th save!

That's exactly what I'd expect from you,

Goro-kun.

Hello, this is Sato.

This is Araki.

Coach Araki.

Could you stop by the coach's office for a bit?

Sato.

Put on the starter's mask tomorrow.

Yes, sir!

Yatabe said that his hip isn't feeling good.

I want him to rest tomorrow.

I'm expecting great things from you,

Golden Rookie.

Yes, sir!

Excuse me.

Goro-kun...

I won't lose either!

All right!

It's finally time for the game against the number one team in runs: the Rockets!

We'll win with a bang, and then we'll be on

our way to the championship at full speed!

Yeah!

At this rate, we'll win by a wide margin and make the playoffs!

You idiot!

Every year, we go into a lull in the summer and lose our grasp on victory!

Don't forget that we need to concentrate on every single game!

We know that!

You're noisy, Sergeant.

What do you mean by "you're noisy"!?

If you idiots play badly, I won't forgive you!

Hey, damn you! Are you listening?

Hey, everyone!

Do you have a minute?

Allow me to introduce a new member.

He's been promoted from Double A today. This is the newcomer, Keane.

You guys should know about him too.

He was drafted number one by our Indiana Hornets this year;

he's the golden rookie catcher!

In no time at all, he's already risen to Triple A!

This guy's a catcher, huh?

Nice to meet you, rookie!

Nice to meet you.

We've heard the rumors about you.

You're supposed to have an incredible throwing arm.

Golden rookie, eh?

So then, I'm sorry, Sanders.

I'll have you moved to the bench.

Keane is a golden egg.

I've been told directly by the Hornets' General Manager...

to build up his experience in real games and prepare him carefully for the Majors.

Since you've got tons of experience,

make sure to thoroughly advise him however you can!

You got it, right?

Yes, sir.

Becoming a bench player after making it all the way here...

What a pity, Sergeant.

Don't say that.

In this world, it can happen to anyone.

Yo, Keane!

Um, well, I was thinking...

I thought that maybe I should explain a little...

about Carlisle, the starting pitcher today.

He's a pitcher with lots of bad habits, but...

if you can get the knack of him, it'll work out.

I'll get the knack of controlling him.

Excuse me.

I have a lot of things that I need to do before the game.

What's with him?

Out!

Strike out!

Out!

Amazing!

The starting pitcher, Carlisle, is in really

good shape right from the start today!

He's in good shape thanks to Keane.

So that's it!

He's pulling out Carlisle's strong points! It's what's to be expected!

Ball!

Out!

You did it!

Incredible, incredible!

I'm surprised!

What an amazing arm he's got!

Ball! Ball four!

Now hitting, number 7: Jeff Keane!

Play!

You did it!

Three-run homer!

Hey, hey, that rookie is too amazing!

Showing up with all that hype wasn't for nothing.

Even if I'm not in there,

if the team can win, then that's enough.

Attention please, pitching, number 56:

Goro Shigeno!

Goro! Go, Goro!

It's the Bats' expectation-ladened rookie battery!

You...

seem to only have fastballs.

Yeah, so you don't need to do any signs or pre-battle strategies.

It's enough if you point approximately where I should throw.
