The morning of the first tournament match for the Fuurin Middle School Baseball team,
Daigo's father Goro talks to his eternal friend, former teammate, and Daigo's coach in his grade school days, Satou Toshiya.
While updating each other, Toshiya brings the conversation to the upcoming Fuurin match.
Goro confidently tells Toshiya that "Daigo can do it", based on Daigo's amazing commitment the past half year,
after unexpectedly becoming captain of the team as a first-year.
Are you thinking these are the pitches of a
decrepit old man with a busted shoulder? Well?!
!هل تظنّ أنّها رميات عجوز عاجز بكتف مكسور؟
Denkst du, das wären die lahmen Pitches
von einem alten Sack?
¡Más vale que no pienses que son tiros
de un vejestorio con el brazo atrofiado!
¡Más vale que no pienses que son tiros
de un vejestorio con el brazo atrofiado!
Tu trouves que je lance
comme un vieux croulant ?
Stai per caso pensando che sono i lanci 
di una vecchia mummia con la spalla rotta?
Não pense que são os arremessos
de um velho gagá com o ombro estourado!
Что, считаешь, что я подаю
как дряхлый старикашка с больным плечом?!
