That Idiot

"Two outs, runners on first and third!

The batter is the cleanup hitter, Ra... Raichi Todoroki!!

Seidou High School has called a defensive timeout!!!"

"Will they choose an Intentional Walk here?

The situation was almost the same in the top half. Yakushi's offense was fierce, but after three balls, they still decisively chose an Intentional Walk!!" Owada Akiko said, turning around.

"Ah!

But Sanada, batting behind Raichi, is also a terrifying hitter!!

There's also enormous pressure on a pitcher who lets hitters reach base consecutively!

Just like yesterday, one slip-up could cause everything to collapse!!

Whether they face Raichi or Sanada, the risks are actually about the same!

If anything, facing Raichi here is more beneficial for Seidou!!

Even if he gets a hit, maintaining an aggressive stance will help in the rest of the game!!

And if they don't walk him, Kawakami's condition will probably be better too!!" Mine Fujio was equally conflicted.

As a professional, he had a very clear grasp of the game's situation.

But seeing things clearly did not mean one could make the choice.

"Of course we face him head-on!!

There's no reason to run away!!

If we lose our aggressive edge, who knows what will happen to the atmosphere!" Sendou spoke first on the Pitcher's Mound.

"Isn't that something the manager decides?" Although Miyuki agreed with Sendou, he still had to wait for the coach's messenger.

The two shared the same thought. With two outs, getting through unscathed would be ideal, but even if they gave up runs, they could not
