Well, just watched episode 18... what a terrible and boring episode. After marathoning the Haikyuu!! series during the weekend, this in turn was tedious.

And further more, the 2nd half of the episode had one of the most ridiculous sequences I've ever seen in a baseball anime... 6 minutes to throw one freaking pitch, to say nothing of how once the catcher signals and takes position it takes about 4 minutes for Sawamura to throw the pitch. I mean, that just borders the absurd.
