(Ch. 8) Precisely

 - Page 134 -

Teams: Eikyo
	Senkawa

Ump: Strike three!
	Batter out!

 - Page 135 -

Koga: The ball's not going to go anywhere, even if he miraculously manages to make contact.
	Add another hundred swings to his practice menu.

Haruka: Sure thing.

Koga: There we go.
	If HE hits it, it'll go somewhere.

 - Page 136 -

Koga: His timing is on.
	He's not swinging late.
	He's got good reflexes and fast legs.
	Now if he stopped concentrating on looking good, he'd be a great leadoff hitter.

Haruka: That's just a matter of time.
	He used to be pretty popular with the girls, but his true nature has been coming out lately.

Kine: Callin' the shots!
	HOM-
	Humbug.
	Humbug, I say.

Koga: Just a matter of time.

Ump: Strike three!
	Batter out!

Hiro: Curve,
	fastball,

Yanagi: Slider.

 - Page 140 -

Noda: And so sharp, you couldn't swing.

Yanagi: No wonder he's going to the Koshien.

Hiro: We're in the same block, and he's also a first-year.
	We can't wait for him to graduate.

Noda: Precisely.

Hiro: They're still just as good the second time up.

Noda: (two strikes)

Hirota: {Punk...}

 - Page 149 -

Hikari: Did he let him hit it?

Hideo: Nope.
	That one was fair and square.

Hikari: On a full-speed pitch?

Hideo: Yep.
	Don't worry.
	As a high school pitcher, Hirota is pretty much at the peak of his abilities.
	But Hiro's still in his growth period.

 - Page 150 -

Hideo: They won't stay at the same level.
	Even at their full power.

Hiro: Argh!
