In the top of the sixth inning, the yakushi offense is on the brink of putting up a big show. They've got runners on the corners with no outs. The coach has to decide whether or not to throw a runner out at first or to let the runner advance on a double play . The only way to do that, the coach says, is for the batter to run right at the coach with a high pitch. The pitch is fast, and the batter can't wait to get it. The other batters are also having trouble getting a handle on the timing of the pitch, and they're getting frustrated with the coach's lack of patience with the batter. The kid in the center field box is psyched to see that the coach is keeping an eye out for the runners, and he's also psyched to hear that they've failed to steal a base yet again. He's glad that the kid's calm and collected, because otherwise, he says, they'd have had a chance to run away with the game. The next batter, the big slugger, comes up and hits a double-play ball, which the coach doesn't want to let go of because it's going to cost them a run. The crowd seems to be on the side of the big hitter, so the coach decides to throw the runner out.
