Batter: Ng!

Shiroyama: The talented pinch hitter swings three times without making contact...

 - Page 172 -

Shiroyama: If he'd managed that half-assed pitching through the entire game, I would have handed it to him.
	But he just likes baseball too much.
	I hate first meetings.
	Especially when I'm the upper hand.
	Whether or not I'm being "fooled",
	there's no need to introduce myself through a game like this.
	Once the weaker team knows your limits, it plays out according to rank.

 - Page 173 -

Shiroyama: You can't ignore the game, but nothing will happen out of line.

Hiro: Yaaah!

 - Page 174 -

Hiro: Yeah!

Shiroyama: I don't want someone who enjoys baseball.

 - Page 175 -

Shiroyama: You like winning more than baseball.
	That's good.
	Everything one does to win is correct.
	Practice, strategy, tactics...
	everything.

Haruka: Kya!

Koga: Woohoo!
	One-run game!

Players: Huh?

Shiroyama: Substitution at shortstop!

 - Page 177 -

Koga: Short?
	Why?

Haruka: Don't ask me.

Shiroyama: Why did you change spots?

Shortstop: Based on the batter's stance and the location of the catcher's mitt,
	I moved on my own and...

Shiroyama: Have you ever seen a pawn move of its own accord?

Shortstop: No,
	I haven't.

 - Page 178 -

Shiroyama: Why did you change spots?

Shortstop: Based on the batter's stance and the location of the catcher's mitt,
	I moved on my own and...
	I, I'm sorry!

 - Page 179 -

Koga: No problem, no problem!

Batter: Oops.

Ump: Batter out!

Koga: No problem!

 - Page 180 -

Koga: Yes!

Haruka: Why would you want a sacrifice bunt with two outs?

Koga: No problem.
	A coach's worth is in the numbers.

 - Page 181 -

Shiroyama: There are no records for being nice.
	I have broken and discarded many players in order to win.
	I've been national champion three times now.
	That's why I am the famed Coach Shiroyama.
	Understand, Hirota?
	I'm using you to add another trophy to my name.
	Don't be broken.

Hiro: Hit and field!

Noda: Hey now.

Shiroyama: Start recording.

Player: Yes, sir!

 - Page 183 -

Camera: (zzz)

Hikari: They're taking a video.

Hideo: Any coach that well established uses practices like that, on any pitcher.

Hiro: (hit and field!)

Hikari: But,
	that doesn't mean the data will work for them, next year.
	Teenagers can change in six months.

Hideo: All part of the equation.

Hikari: An equation that counts for
	cats becoming tigers and dogs becoming wolves, right?

 - Page 185 -

Hikari: They don't expect cats to become whales and dogs to become hawks, do they?

Hideo: Uh,
	I doubt it...
	Not with a mind that stubborn...

 - Page 186 -

Hikari: They can't calculate what Hiro will be like in six months.

Ump: Strike three!  Batter out!
	Change sides!
