Hiro: Well, that was surprisingly weak-minded.
	Lost his control in the face of Hideo's power.

Koga: But his arm still got full extension on the pitch.

Noda: He's right.

Ump: Ball four!

Noda: He could make that look like a loss of confidence after hitting Hideo...

Hiro: You mean that was intentional?

Noda: Nobody's saying that.
	There's no proof,
	and nobody other than he himself would know for sure.

Meiwa Coach: Tachibana, are you okay?!

Hideo: I'm not going to tell you that I can't play.
	Feel free to take me out if I'm not performing up to task.

Meiwa Coach: Very well.

Shiroyama: Hirota.
	Keep the dead balls to a maximum of one per game.

Hirota: I simply gripped too hard and lost control.
	It wasn't intentional.

Shiroyama: Of course.
	But you finished the pitching form just fine.
	Don't let them misunderstand.
	Be careful.

Hirota: I understand.
