Bunts, stealing bases, and other tricks define the Nijigaoka Beatles' playstyle, also known as small ball.
The Dolphins lose 2 points from the get go as their opponents exploit the weak bond between Urabe and Daigo, as it's their first time being a battery.
On top of that, the Beatles' ace player Tamaki throws ultra slow balls, which make hits hard, but even when a hit is made, their defense easily takes care of that.
Daigo puts his brain into overdrive trying to somehow figure out some pattern in their defense lineup, but will he find anything?
It's been on my mind since last inning, 
but it looks like you haven't noticed yet.
.كنت أفكر بالأمر منذ الشوط الماضي، لكن يبدو أنّك لم تلاحظ بعد
Beim letzten Inning
hatte ich was bemerkt.
Lo pensaba desde la última entrada,
pero parece que no lo notaste.
Lo pensé en la última entrada,
pero parece que no lo has notado.
Ça m’intriguait
depuis la manche précédente,
Me ne sono accorto nello scorso inning, 
ma tu a quanto pare non l'hai notato.
Isso está na minha cabeça desde a última
entrada, mas parece que você não notou ainda.
Я заметил это ещё в прошлом
иннинге, а ты, видно, нет.
