Hiro: Was it really that easy a pitch to homer on?

Noda: No.

Noda: Anyone who saw that will give Hirota credit.

Hiro: I can't handle this.
	He's batting so... normally.

Shima: Fumio.
	There was one thing.

Ohtake: What?

Shima: That Kacchan might cry over,
	I think.

Ohtake: ...you mean...

Haruka: 2-0.
	And only two more innings to bat...

Koga: Plus, we start this inning at the bottom of the order.

	I'm just making sure.

Hirota: He's got the best timing in Senkawa's lineup.
	Attack the inside corners.
	Don't let him choose his pitch.
	Pitch like you don't care if he gets hit.

Pitcher: Uh,
	...right.
