| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A victory, but tokuchi predicts that the opposing statistician will have more than one trick up his sleave. We'll see next epi. |
 |
| Toukchi tricked them and won,but next episode will be the real showdown. |
 |
| Seemed a little rushed, hopefully the next episode is more fleshed out and fully shows the showdown. |
| dirty trick after dirty trick....I honestly expected more. |
| Nice hidden ball trick. |
| A bit disappointing, but then again there's only so much you can do with this situation, especially with another game to go. |
| Himmel released episode 12 already. I couldn't wait. |
| How is the Himmel release guys? Is it good enough to back up, or should just wait for the b2e release? |

They have what, 12 teams? Total? If I think like that, it's easy to suspend all disbelief and accept that a .03 second difference actually matters in any way. Wouldn't pass muster in the MLB. Instead of taking things totally seriously... The One Outs drinking game: Watch a few episodes of One Outs with some friends of yours. Make sure there's enough beer (or other preferred beverage) at hand. Every time something happens that would never, EVER happen in real American baseball, take a drink. Last one standing wins. Optional: You may feel free to say "Ha ha ha ha ha ... in America" after every drink.

| Fantastic episode! I can't wait to see the final showdown. =] |
| HEY! |
| Oh god... Damn those creators are wicked minded excuting these tricks. 10/10 as usual! |
 |
| Another great episode, and yet another great strategy from Toua Really loving this series, can't wait for the next ep. |
 |
| I realized most of this would not ever happen but I hate baseball so this is great hilarious episode WATCH OUT OH NO |
hirahira said: that hidden ball thing has to be against the rules It's only against the rules if the pitcher steps on the mound and gets into throwing position. We used to do this all the time in high school baseball. Another trick is to have the center field man sneak behind 2nd base while the second baseman distracts the runner on 2nd by moving forward and bit. Then have the pitcher throw the ball to the center field man who should then be covering second and tag the runner out. It's an easy out but it's hard to pull off without practice. Most of this stuff is very doable in American baseball but you never see teams do it because it's considered dirty or risky since theirs a high chance something might go wrong. |

| Lolol, Johnson got pwned. I freakin' love this show. |
 |
| Lol he made a fellow team mate cry :D DeathfireD said: Wow, so the hidden ball wasn't against the rules? Once again it's amazing how these little used plays and rules are being used to Toua's advance. Although this one felt a little dirtier then usual ;)...Most of this stuff is very doable in American baseball but you never see teams do it because it's considered dirty or risky since theirs a high chance something might go wrong. It's been interesting that with this arc Toua hasn't been able to just look at people and sum them up, but has to take bigger risks by watching Johnson play and then find out the weaknesses. As for the flaws with threwing towards the ankle... is it that it wouldn't work for a left handed batter? *goes off to watch next episode* |
 |
| Toua Tokuchi is one of the most badass characters. Ever. :D |
 |
| Toua threat his own teammates XD |
 |
| Again, Toua shows amazingness. I didn't even realize the ep had ended; that's how awesome it was, lol. |

datsunvic said: A victory, but tokuchi predicts that the opposing statistician will have more than one trick up his sleave. We'll see next epi. This is far from over, so many of the tactics have been shown to each other, so I agree with Toua when he says that the real battle starts now. |
| Wonder what will happen next~ |

| i find it funny how they show johnsons steal as unstoppable when it is easy to keep him from getting to 3rd base. If he decides to run without checking the pitching motion then you just throw your pick off to the base he is running to. This show is fun but a lot of it falls apart if you think about it for more then 1 min. |
| How are those 2 plays allowed? :P Especially that fake argument play. |

This show is fun but a lot of it falls apart if you think about it for more then 1 min. Won't work because Johnson is so unrealistically fast that by the time the runner on third throws the ball to the catcher, the catcher won't have time to apply the tag because Johnson will be safe. I think they mention this at the very beginning. Toua really thought all his tricks through and it's pretty awesome. I actually love baseball. I watch it and played it in high school, and was asked to play for my university (but I declined because at the time I was a Pre-Med student and wanted to focus on school). It's true that a lot of Toua's tricks could never work in the Major Leagues, but that doesn't really matter. It's an anime, and an enjoyable one at that. It's pretty awesome how Toua manages to make all this stuff work while only throwing an 80 mph fastball. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| Oh the hidden ball trick. Love it. Then you pull the super inside ball to get him out, nice work but it won't work twice I fear. Alright Toua, time to really think this one through. |
 |
| The hidden ball thing would never work at any level of actual pro baseball. Base runners don't take their lead until the pitcher is on the rubber. If you don't have the ball when you're on the rubber, it is a balk and the runners advance. One of the first things you learn about base running is not to leave the bag until the pitcher is on the rubber. |
| No you're right but you have to throw realism out with this show, especially if you know baseball. |

| tomorrow is the real battle |

Shinryuken said: tomorrow is the real battle ^This. Shirooka and Toua were just testing out each other's skills in those two games. That was a nice trick play though. XD |

| LOL I really don´t know what problem you all have with that hidden ball. Why would that be against rules? The only think that made me angry was Toua shouting at Johnson, it´s really very unfair... |
 |
| O nice getting Johnson out. |
 |
| Wow Johnson, the owner, and Shirooka all got rekt this episode. That pitch to the batter's ankle by Tokuchi was awesome. That hidden ball trick was awesome. Didn't even know plays like this existed in baseball until just now. This is going to be my stopping point of the night. This anime has changed greatly since it has started for the better. I can't wait to watch the next game tomorrow night! 8/10 for this episode and 8.5/10 for the series so far. |
| Well . . . Pitching at the ankle like that is bad for other reasons, if he hits the batter it could be seen as intentional (and since getting hit in the ankle can do damage) he could be ejected from the game for that. |
 |
| The third game is where it really begins. Great episode though. |
| Toua came up with two really good ways to get Johnson out, he's so smart <3 Great episode! I love him <3 |
 |
| on to the next |
