The sad part is, I can actually see it going down that way.

Good episode, I actually came to the conclusion Toua did a little quicker, the laptop kinda made me feel that way, though according the preview it had nothing to do with it. Now I wonder what that has to do with anything. I'm really growing to dislike this team too, bring back the Mariners! :(

Yeah, I don't know if it was the laptop that totally set me off, but I remember thinking at the beginning of this arc when Tokuchi was talking about the stadium being a boobytrap of tricks that there were just cork bats and wiretaps all over the place.

This episode was as slow as all the Lycaons besides Tokuchi.

It was kinda clear that they were using cameras. Anyway it seems that Blue Mars will get owned pretty badly in the next episode.

True, I guess the whole wiretapping thing had kinda been tossed around the entire arc. I'd kinda thrown the idea out the window when they brought in the drums though.

The laptop at the beginning gave the wiretaps away. Anyhow, this episode was very slow.

Another painfully obvious trick. It was either wiretaps or a spy.

Hm, this series is quickly getting worse, unfortunately :( At the beginning Toua was clever, now everybody else is stupid. It makes me rage quite a lot when I have to listen to ideguchi.

wait, are laptops even allowed in the dug-out? that and the Lycaons manager having a cellphone have been bugging for a while now. anyways, speaking of bugging, the laptop was already a huge indication that bugging was taking place.

the whole team should have realized that their signs were being stolen by now, but sadly, they're freaking morons :/

and I can't believe it took them that long to figure out that their dugout was bugged. especially with that dork using a laptop the whole time.

of course all they have to do is use well hidden visual signals to tell the batters what the sign pattern will be before they go up and have Toua pitch and it'll solve the problem. or they could just send someone into the stadium to punch a hole in the drum, but I doubt they'll take the easy way, it would cut down on the explanations after all, and apparently that's some sort of sacrilege :/

I had a feeling they were being watched. With the other team's manager using a laptop and their signs CONSTANTLY being stolen.

I love how the team was amazed by the new sign system in the beginning. Hahahaha.

Ohh that's why writing it down before worked well. :D

I'm really hating Blue Mars now. They have good players, but they rely on cheating. Also, Toua's such a great pitcher, so why are Lyceons relying on the subs and the signals?! T___T

Unfortunately, since wiretapping is a cheap trick, the resolution wouldn't be that clever as well. My guess is that Toua will make the manager declare using one pattern while signaling or writing to use another. Sometimes this show takes trivial ideas like that and complicates them a bit so they'll be cooler. I hope this will happen in the next episode and the Lycaons wouldn't only do what I just suggested.

Ohh I see. That's why Toua was able to deceive them when he passed that note.

The part where Toua was teaching the team basic math was pretty funny. xD

Nice episode! I knew something was fishy when I saw the guy with the laptop in the opposing team's dugout.

All that mumbo jumbo around the 17 minute mark really gave me a headache.

That pattern swapping system Tokuchi came up with was pretty clever! Too bad it all went to waste because they were being spied on all along. :(

Great episode. I swear people love hating on this anime.

Pretty obvious, from the start of the first match i was thinking that if they are cheating then there must be wiretaps also.

Anyone could've thought of that.

I didn't expect this series of games to be taking up the last chunk of this anime, especially since this is past repetitive and uneventful. I actually predicted that their information was being given to the team for money, but wiretap is also another good hypothesis.

I hope this concludes by the next episode. I'm getting super bored with this. Nothing has happened...They're cheating! Okay, we've known that for forever. There's nothing else to this. If it's the mystery element that I'm supposed to be entertained by, I'm not. All of the conclusions I was able to make in minutes. This game is nothing compared to the beginning material.
