I always found it a little weird how aggressive Miyuki was towards Sawamura during their first inning together against Yakushi. It’s off-putting even though I understand his reasoning/message behind it.

It’s probably just cause it annoys me that he’s this way with Sawamura yet Furuya doesn’t get anything aggressiveness towards him from anyone. Idk it’s just weird to me and I’m biased ☺️

This game is pretty intense. I look forward to seeing what happens next. Hopefully Sawamura does well at pitching. 4 stars.
