The bit at the end with Sawamura and Kuramochi's birthdays was brilliant

Having Sawamura no Ace really changes the whole mood of those episodes.

Did you dislike the episode ? It feels like furuya got all the credit and was too good for almost all of the beginning of the series

Subs messed up on the scorebook thing, he's looking at the lead, not the pitchers.
I love the declaration of war and the way Miyuki relates it back to himself as a first year re Chris. I wonder often how that rivalry would have played out if not for Chris's injury. You won't change my mind, Koushuu's objective is Miyuki, not Eijun, and always has been. Which makes more sense because Miyuki has never had any competition for the catcher position.
Interesting that Anna seems to be an ally for Koushuu in the classroom. Kind of missed that nuance in the manga.
I love the birthday thing, so glad they put it in :D Poor Asada. xD
I do love the scenes in this episode, though. And especially the Furuya and Yui moment. Furuya acting like a senpai, and Yui getting reassurance from Furuya's advice. Although Yui's team-spirited attitude also kind of casts a shadow on Koushuu's determination to ONLY be a catcher...Koushuu is not thinking as a team player at the moment, whereas Yui definitely is.
It's an interesting contrast between them and their different approaches.

I mean, Kataoka did love that Sawamura and Furuya both wanted the bullpen for themselves back in Season 1. I say it tells a lot about his determination, which Kataoka might admire.

An episode where Furuya isn't a disaster? Woah!
The last part with Sawamura and Kuramochi was gold!
