Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I\u2019m delighted to announce we\u2019re returning to Big Windup!, and checking in with the increasingly reliable battery of the anxious pitcher Mihashi and cynical catcher Abe. Big Windup!\u2019s first stretch was largely preoccupied with Mihashi unlearning the bad instincts prompted by his traumatic middle school experience, and gaining the confidence to form a genuine partnership with Abe. With Mihashi having achieved at least a degree of trust in his curmudgeonly catcher, we then turned to Abe\u2019s own history, as he described the frustration of the self-absorbed Haruna sinking his own middle school team\u2019s aspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The symmetry of these experiences points towards Big Windup!\u2019s general understanding of personal psychology, its emphasis on the fact that we are all products of our prior experiences, carrying baggage and preconceptions through which we filter and contextualize any new information. Mihashi\u2019s servile affectation is simply the \u201csolution\u201d to conflict he carried over from middle school, while Abe\u2019s bitterness and need for control are clearly an overcorrection from his time with Haruna. Of course, there\u2019s more to it than that, because humans are complicated: Abe would always be less of a people person given his fiercely analytical mind, while Mihashi\u2019s inherent sensitivity to emotions is part of the reason why he felt the frustration of his prior teammates so deeply. And on top of all that, we\u2019ve got the crunchy mechanical structure of baseball itself, a sport that through its distinct, repeated confrontations of batters and pitchers is uniquely well-suited to tactical feints and mind games.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rich and nourishing stew of variables, and it\u2019s been far too long since we dug in. Let\u2019s return to the pitch for a fresh episode of Big Windup!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 10<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ah, there\u2019s that flanged guitar and disco hi-hat. Yep, we\u2019re back in the \u201800s again<\/span><\/p>\n

Though there are obviously anisong genre trends, OPs also frequently just mirror the popular genres of the time. This is of great benefit to \u201800s shows that got to enjoy the Japanese garage rock revival, and of terrible consequence to modern shows that must suffer the fallout of vocaloids and vtubers<\/span><\/p>\n

Hah, I\u2019d forgotten just how gentle Mihashi\u2019s voice is. Good to see him mentally committing to this battery – he\u2019s no longer thinking in terms of avoiding failure, he\u2019s actively planning for success<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, just as Mihashi acknowledges this bond, Abe raises his hand to say they need another pitcher<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mihashi takes this as a sign of distrust or betrayal, but he really shouldn\u2019t. Any baseball team having only a single pitcher is absolutely preposterous – professional teams will have more like four or five, and frequently run through at least three of them in a given game. The incredible physical strain that is pitching is essentially baked into the physical dynamics of a game\u2019s runtime; a tired pitcher will begin to give up runs, and a pitcher that is consistently stretched across games will swiftly wear out his arm for good. Human beings weren\u2019t really designed to throw balls with the speed of professional baseball; every pitch at that speed is a sacrifice of your arm\u2019s long-term health, and that health must be protected, even if only for the pragmatic fact that you want your own best pitchers to keep throwing great pitches<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, that necessity often runs at odds with the determination and aspirations of young would-be professionals. As such, it is any great coach\u2019s job to actually <\/span>limit<\/span><\/i> their stars\u2019 time on the mound, lest they sacrifice their arm\u2019s health to high school games before they even get to the majors<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSo his wish to monopolize the mound is still alive and kicking on this team, huh?\u201d A telling reflection from Momoe, revealing she still distrusts Mihashi herself. I\u2019m persistently amused by how this show frames character anxieties and growth – sometimes it\u2019s about growing beyond them, yes, but at other times it\u2019s about exploiting them to the best possible athletic effect<\/span><\/p>\n

Apparently in middle school, he actually pitched two games a day. As Momoe points out, that was only possible because he was constantly losing, and thus not really pressuring himself – if they\u2019re actually planning to <\/span>win<\/span><\/i> their games, the amount of effort the pitcher will have to put in will clearly not allow for three to four hundred pitches a week<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tajima swiftly cheers Mihashi up, simply by drawing a \u201c1\u201d on his jersey, emphasizing that he\u2019s still their number one pitcher. Another flourish of this show\u2019s psychological insight – understanding precisely what anxiety of Mihashi\u2019s is being provoked, and finding a way to resolve that without actually changing their plans for the team. Mihashi didn\u2019t actually need to be their perpetual pitcher, he just needed to be assured his position within the team wasn\u2019t being usurped<\/span><\/p>\n

Momoe sets to work deciding on their next pitcher. Hanae has apparently pitched three games, while Oki the southpaw has pitched five back during middle school<\/span><\/p>\n

She then suggests Tajima for the substitute catcher, which Abe can see the wisdom in. Tajima not only has a great arm, he actually gets along well with Mihashi<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Though hesitant, Tajima is swiftly seduced by Momoe\u2019s extolling of the tricky pitches that catchers must contend with. Some people aren\u2019t so complicated<\/span><\/p>\n

Momoe also instructs the whole team to work on at least one additional position, which is a smart practice regimen regardless of your sport. When you\u2019re working as a team, it is immensely helpful to know what the requirements of play look like from other positions, so you can better accommodate the needs of those positions when you return to your own<\/span><\/p>\n

Mizushima generally lets the material speak for itself in this show, but his quiet excellence is clear in the procession of shots as the players practice, with the sightlines of the players\u2019 own perspectives guiding us from one shot to the next with utter smoothness<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Still, he\u2019s to an extent limited in adapting a fairly subdued drama. Mizushima\u2019s genius is his mastery of direction itself as a tool for comedy, and that generally requires either an existing comedy to adapt (Witch Craft Works) or an original that is designed from the ground up for his style (Girls und Panzer)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStop nodding with that big question mark floating around your head.\u201d Mihashi and Abe still have some fundamental issues of communication – Abe seeks clarity but gets angry when he\u2019s misunderstood, while Mihashi frequently just pretends to understand so people will stop yelling at him, leading to natural friction as Abe gets increasingly frustrated trying to explain himself, making Mihashi all the more likely to try and avoid the conversation<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mihashi reveals his worries extend beyond his own role – he\u2019s scared of losing Abe as well, and thereby returning to his useless former self<\/span><\/p>\n

And Abe, to his credit, sees the good in this: Mihashi might be frightened, but he\u2019s nonetheless attesting that he now believes he can be a <\/span>good<\/span><\/i> pitcher, so long as Abe is there<\/span><\/p>\n

The team collectively chose Hanai as their captain. Little surprise that Abe doesn\u2019t want that pressure; his skills are better employed in the background, anyway<\/span><\/p>\n

Hanai in turns choses Abe and Sakaeguchi as his sub-captains. The consultant he needs to represent the infield, and a representative of the outfield who\u2019s well-liked by everyone<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can really feel their growing unity and desire to succeed as we cut in back to their regular practices, with all of the players calling ball positioning and congratulating each other for good catches. It might feel arbitrary or insincere at first, but it\u2019s essential practice to actually saying such things earnestly, and also for ensuring the players trust each other. You\u2019re not competing with your teammates, you\u2019re trying to build something that\u2019s greater for all your collective efforts<\/span><\/p>\n

Mihashi collides with the manager while pacing at the dugout. And she knows it\u2019s his birthday!<\/span><\/p>\n

Momoe encourages them to study for midterms with a long-winded and oddly personal anecdote about poor grades encouraging slacking in both baseball practice and studying. What <\/span>happened<\/span><\/i> to you, Momoe?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Excellent faces as she lectures apparent underachievers Mihashi and Tajima<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my god, Mihashi. He essentially constructs a fake birthday party for himself by inviting the whole team over to his place to study. He is the saddest boy<\/span><\/p>\n

Damn, Mihashi\u2019s mom looks overworked. Revealing faces are sort of a trend in this show\u2019s character designs, which makes sense for its persistent interrogation of our unspoken anxieties<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my god, even his mother can\u2019t help laughing at him throwing himself a surprise party. How will he ever recover from this<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As ever, Tajima is the glue holding this group together, swiftly embracing the fact that this is now a birthday party<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s unsurprising for a show this interested in human psychology, but also welcome that Mihashi\u2019s mother is also something of an anxious mess. We don\u2019t always grow out of such affectations, I am afraid<\/span><\/p>\n

And in the end, it becomes a collective team birthday for all the boys whose birthdays have already passed. Th<\/span>ey\u2019re really trying hard to support each other here, and it\u2019s delightful to see<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even Abe helps boost Mihashi\u2019s confidence in his own sneaky way. Seeing Mihashi\u2019s practice setup, he engineers a situation where Mihashi is asked to throw pitches at specific targets while all the other boys watch. As a catcher with a keen eye, he was already able to appreciate Mihashi\u2019s control – but here, the whole team is allowed to see just how precise Mihashi\u2019s pitching truly is<\/span><\/p>\n

And just as Mihashi has changed, Abe can now recognize his own growth, and marvel at how petty he was for once assuming he\u2019d just exploit Mihashi\u2019s shyness to his own ends<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Our boys are gonna make it! Well, so long as they don\u2019t actually fail their midterms, that is. But scholastic mediocrity aside, this episode served as a charming affirmation of how far both Abe and Mihashi have come, as they\u2019ve learned not just to communicate effectively as a battery, but to serve as the cornerstone of an ambitious and mutually trusting team. Basically the whole group understands and sympathizes with Mihashi at this point, while other members of the team like Tajima and Hanai are coming into their own as emotional problem-solvers and group leaders. With so much productive growth behind them, I\u2019m eager to see our boys take on some fresh challengers. Bring on the summer games!<\/span><\/p>\n
