What's with Monday? *didn't hear of any games for Tosei for Monday...*

well. We're going to have practice on Monday.

blinks.

What's the problem with that?

>.>

<.<

*sighs* See. Jun-san showed up last Friday. Finally.

So... what's the problem with that? Isn't that a good thing? *heard things from his brother*

It is. The whole team was glad, though they grumbled a bit. But...

On Friday, all Jun-san did was warm up. We will have to practice our battery on Monday.

If he does it with me and he's not satisfied with it... he might decide that he does hate baseball after all.

...

Huh. You have so many concerns.

Tell me exactly how a pitcher can hate baseball by having a shitty catcher?

Hey, I'm not a shitty catcher.

It just that... Jun-san has a way of doing things the way he's used to.

I didn't say you were.

And all pitchers have that phase?

:\ Pitchers can be huge brats.

And very difficult.

But they'll stick to their partner. Especially since you're the next regular catcher, right?

o: What do you mean, are all pitchers like that?

and yeah, I am.

Many of them. But pitchers throw, so I think it should be harder for a catcher to adjust to new pitchers.

Is he your first pitcher?

just throw*

(ooc: sobbing, the innuendo of your question...)

(Hahaha)

We do have a reserve, but he isn't at the same level as Jun-san.

And certainly not in the level for Koushien.

*mumbles* My brother taunted me a lot about *that.*

... So...

doesn't that mean that you should be worrying about adjusting to him more than him adjusting to you?

Oh, wait, that IS what you're worrying about.

In a roundabout way.

Well, yeah...

I just I really have to hurry up to be in the level of Kazu-san before Jun-san gets impatient about it.

(orz, Rio. FAIL)

You can't replace Kawai. o_O

I wasn't trying... to do that.

... Really?

*sighs* I don't know anymore.

Didn't you just say that you're not a shitty catcher? :\

If you're not shitty, then your pitcher should have no reason to complain.

If he rejects you, it would be for reasons aside from your catching.

In that case, it's time to smack sense into him.

... smack sense into Jun-san. DDD:

But I get what you mean, I guess.

:\ It's good to spoil your pitchers once in a while, but it's also nice to be reasonable. *hypocrite and knows this*

Yeah. I've been thinking about about this a lot.

Do you at least know his preferences?

Rio has no balls.

And at this point, I figure, I don't care if he starts to hate *me*, as long as he still plays baseball. And loves it.

that's a good stance for a catcher concerned for his pitcher, but it's a sucky way to look at a battery.

Look, I think you two will be fine? It'll take some time for you to adapt to each other, but it'll happen.

Just do your job and let him do his.

Rio is on his way to being a real catcher, because he's OVERTHINKING.

(ABE IS SO BAD AT THIS, I SHOULD HAVE USED SHUN.)

(dfhafalhdflk)

(how about you Shun invites Junta to play soccer with him and Rio conveniently stalks them? XD XD)

(later on, i mean)

(SOCCER? lolol, sure. XD)

(ALL THE ABE CONVERSATIONAL SKILLS ARE CONCENTRATED ON HIM.)

(HIS WEE, SOCIABLE BODY.)

(oops, baseball!!!)

(sry :/)

(Soccer is fine, too. ; 3; But baseball is epic. RIO MIGHT BE JEALOUS.)

SOCCER. I HEARD THAT. YOU'RE ON.

the fact that she woke up to this thread.

(paaaaaam, ;3;. Rio is a fail a listening to advice. And Abe is a fail at giving them.)\

(You can always call my brother in. :\ *mildly offended* I'm not a love guru, you know. )

(*pictures Abe in a sari and turban* *dies in a rain of blood*)
