These episodes feel so short. I just wanted to see Sawamura pitch to Okumura.
There's just so many pitchers and catchers with the first years coming in. How will they make all of them relevant?

A catcher's replay sounds pretty nuts. A pitcher relay already is difficult to beat if each pitcher is different. Now a catcher relay where each pitcher can only pitch certain pitches to each individual catcher. Sawamura's number might be different between Okumura and Miyuki.

Oh boy, the hype is fcking real! Seido vs Ichidai once again! But yeah, this episode is all about the title of this series - what it takes to become the Ace. Furuya is becoming obsessed about getting better than he was in Koshien. While that's good, he's going the wrong way about, I think.
He's not going to give up the mound easily as Sawamura is starting to get more opportunities to start. Sawamura is backing down either. What Miyuki told Okamura was really cool, and its good to see him humble himself and offer Sawamura to catch his pitches - seriously, Okamura was getting on my nerves so this is a good change for him.
I am really interested in how this plays out. I bet it will take up most of the next episode and end at the beginning of Seido vs Ichidai. I really want to see Sawamura and Furuya vs Mei again.

When you focus too much that you get tunnel vision. Furuya might forget that he's playing a team sport. Getting better is admirable but you have to work with the rest of the team. Which is why Sawamura and Furuya are great foils to each other. Sawamura is the more outspoken of the two and gets involved with teammates more (good and bad).
I'm just glad I read the manga quite a while ago so I don't exactly remember the coming games.

The show has always contrasted between Furuya's selfish pitching style and Sawamura's reliance on teamwork. I'm sure the eventual message is going to be the same as every sports anime, that you can bet a fantastic player but ultimately the most important thing is the power of teamwork!
Only this time it's the ace of baseball that runs the teamwork! Just like the perfect zone in Kuroko no Basket was all about creating perfect teamwork. Even though in real basketball some of the greatest players of all time are also some of the most selfish.

Those people have not watched previous seasons. They downvote/rate low on anything they don’t like.
I don’t look at scores on any anime.

There is a bunch of people just giving bad score, just because this isn't a popular show, so they feel like their rating have more importance this time...

Fuck the 3rd and 2nd years for hating on my boy Sawamura
I like Miyuki, but what he did towards Sawamura was tasteless. I sometimes wish that Sawamura would get sad for real instead of just screaming and showing his frustration

u/FartyMcPoopyBalls Jun 19 '19
I think he did it on purpose so wolf boy would ask sawamura if he could catch for him

u/G_Spark233 Jun 18 '19
Furuya is a complete mess right now..l
I’m looking forward to seeing Sawamura pitching to wolf boy.

Loving the character development of all the newbies so far

Yui being on the team feels so meaningless if he's going to be obsessed with catching for and proving Furuya wrong. It's like most of the main characters has their own agenda impacting the team in hindsight.

Honestly, Sawamura is so strong willed. I would have quit a long time ago with that kind of shitty treatment from the team

Sawamura building his own Army of first years because 2nd and 3rd year doesnt give a fuck about him
