| Yeah, i loved the comeback by mihoshi. Oda's turn was great, and so was hatake... it made sense that the former catcher would know his habits when throwing a fastball. i also liked seeing abe in distress, i mean he cant be cool ALL the time.. haha each episode feels like it is so short!! this show is going by so quick, or maybe i'm just really into it :P |
| Things aren't going Abe's way anymore! Wonder how they'll make a comeback |
 |
| Good episode, Mihoshi was finally able to crack Mihashi's pitching. I think Abe will help deliver the win somehow. |
| Abe is braking down. I hope they won't lose. |

kie_ said: Abe is braking down. I hope they won't lose. I doubt they will, but honestly I'm more concerned with Abe learning to value Mihashi as more than an automaton. hopefully these two hits will help him to understand that he's playing a team sport. |
| I can't believe how interesting this show is. I could give it a ten already! The last two at-bats were so nerve-wracking! I loved the moment when Mihashi had an intuition... but didn't follow it. And right after that Hatake dealt a second blow. That was some excellent screenwriting. Yes, Abe still needs to learn a few things. The coach knew it before he was able to acknowledge it. It wasn't all that obvious to me either until this episode, and that's what I love about Oofuri - it makes you experience things with the characters. |
| Phooey, I knew they would try to kill Okazaki Tomoya. I honestly can't see them winning. For the sake of having them as rivals, Mihashi has to lose. |

| why is this show going so slow, don't get me wrong I appreciate the details and the game itself. but the pacing is driving me crazy! I was so sure they would end the game this episode. but nope! |

| I never noticed how fab the soundtrack to this is. Now I have! Such a great feel. Easily Sub > Dub. Not that the dub is terrible, but the MEN DON'T CRY IN BASEBALL feel of American sports is polar opposite to Japanese sports and undercut the emotional devastation of Mihoshi scoring two runs. Man. Forgot how Mihashi's pitcher senses were tingling but he ignored them due to the messed up catcher dynamics w/ Abe. And both are freaking out like the rug is pulled out from under them, ground to sky. How nostalgic! Now, I'mma take a break. Even dubbed, all this baseball tech. makes my head hurt. ( = w = );; |
 |
| Wow, I didn't see that coming. Even after a homerun, Mihashi doesn't seem to break down at all. And what's more important is Mihashi's gut instinct was right but he chose to listen to his catcher, Abe. I guess these small details will strengthen the bond between them in the future. :) |

| I am actually surprised by Mihashi .Even though Mihoshi took the lead after that homerun,Mihashi still has the will to pitch.I was kinda hoping that Mihashi would have shaken off Abe's hand sign though I knew he wasn't brave enough to do it and I don't think Abe would have liked it anyway,probably.I hope Abe doesn't become too affected/agitated by the home run they got off of them .We don't need another Mihashi in this stuation and he seems to be doing surprisingly well at the moment anyaways. Didn't Kanou say that this was the only chance that he would have to play against Mihashi so I wonder if Nishiura will really lose here? |

| Mihashi should start thinking on his own and the catcher is Narrowminded |
 |
| And the lead is gone, damn! LouM said: Mihashi should start thinking on his own and the catcher is Narrowminded True, always going for inside and outside in the same pattern isn't smart. |
 |
| oh shit abe's starting to break, hope nothing too bad comes out of this Please they were just starting to be a sick ass team |
