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?
Just by catching the ball wrong, 
I was holding the pitcher back...
...كنت أعيق الرامي فقط بإمساكي الكرة بشكل خاطئ
Ich habe nur irgendwie gefangen
Al hacerlo, obstaculizaba al pitcher…
Al hacerlo, obstaculizaba al pitcher…
Je l’attrapais sans effort
E così facendo ho danneggiato il mio lanciatore...
Mas receptando assim, eu estava
atrapalhando meu arremessador...
И своими ошибками я оказал
питчеру медвежью услугу...
