Major Second" Episode 11 Thoughts: It's a Tofu Mentality, Anyway

Finally, the first game of the summer tournament. Daigo plays in the second position, right field. Although he made some mistakes, he managed to keep the game exciting with his guts.

The Mifune Dolphins took a 1-0 lead, but in the bottom of the 5th inning, the opposing team reached base with no outs due to an error by one of their own players. Then, the ball was hit by a pitch to Daigo Wright, who returned the ball to home on a sacrifice fly!　A sacrifice fly, but a big pinch to return home. Hmmm, will it be a show, or will it be another fiasco?

Daigo caught the light fly. Then the runner at third base touched up to start the run. He throws one of his best pitches from center to back home, and it goes into the catcher's mitt. The runner was touched out.

It is hard to believe that this is the same Daigo who could only throw a half-hearted pitch, thanks to the coaching of former major leaguer Juya.

The first step in returning the ball quickly is to get in position to catch it.
First, take a few steps back from the landing spot and dash. If you teach this to your children, they will respect you.

However, there is one thing that has been bothering me so far. Why does Daigo's mother, Kaoru, call Hisaya "Sato-san"? In the previous film, "Major," it was Kotobuki. Is it because she has become a parent and an adult? Personally, I think it would have been better if she had remained Kotobuki-kun.

Now, the atmosphere of the team was lifted and the team was leading by 4 points. But in the second half of the game, Urabe, the pitcher, collapsed. Strikes stopped coming in, and the bases were loaded on a walk. The next batter hit a ball to Daigo, and the ball went to him again. The batter then fails to catch the ball, a huge blunder. The score was tied with a runner at first base.

Daigo, who has a weak mentality, was depressed again. The tension between the first half and the second half is too different! 　Thinking about that, what mental strength his father, Goro Shigeno, had. He was always positive and played baseball, wasn't he?

Daigo heard a voice in his ear, "You can't play battery with me if you have such a tofu mentality! I can't be a battery partner with you! And here comes Hikaru!　Personally, I can't help but think that you have a tofu mentality too.

Let's wait for the next episode with high expectations to see if Hikaru and Daigo will finally celebrate their first battery together. (Editor K)
