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.
And you haven't even praised 
a single one of my pitches!
!كما أنّك لم تثنِ على أيّ رمية من رمياتي
Und du hast meinen Pitch
noch nicht einmal gelobt.
¡Y no has alabado
ninguno de mis lanzamientos!
¡Y no has alabado
ninguno de mis lanzamientos!
Depuis le début,
zéro compliment pour mes lancers !
E non ti sei complimentato per nessuno dei miei lanci!
E você não elogiou nenhum arremesso meu!
Да и ты ни одну
 мою подачу не похвалил!
