The third runner thing is a part of their psychological training to instantly relax by conditioning lol. It doesn't really work like magic, but it's good practice I think.

So the other team's coach is actually pretty intelligent, which is why he's respected. Instead of going for small gains, he's building up the amount of runners to increase the chances of opponents making mistakes. It was also right before their strongest 4th/5th batters, who could hit a homerun and get them all home.

I think with this slowburn format, you can really feel that our Nishiura team earned every single run. Nothing was easy.

Oh for sure. I never really had a doubt that he was smart at strategizing - it definitely felt like it whenever we caught a glimpse of his thoughts. I just tend to not appreciate people in positions of leadership that call their underlings "names" (sorry I don't remember what exactly he called them and I don't want to make something up). While I do realize it's not personal and that's just his attitude and he's a rough-around-the-edges type of guy, and his bark is probably worse than his bite and all that, I still don't like it anyway. Rubs me the wrong way. It's a thing:)

Yeah - I forgot. I mean, like I knew it in the back of my head but totally didn't connect it to Mihashi's "runner on third" look routine. Oh my god it was side-splitting!!!
