[ Kuramochi will laugh his ass off if he ever learns you just compared baseball to an ex-girlfriend. While it would totally make sense of how you're acting, it just seems so absurd to be that stubborn about your feelings towards the sport. Seriously, if you like it then admit to your feelings!

Anyways, after the initial shock diminishes within him, a wary grin cracks open on Kuramochi's face. Because holy shit. He totally aimed for it. ]

Dude, I've seen nasty pitches and fast ones, I just wasn't expecting from a guy like you!

[ Which, in tern, serves Kuramochi right for underestimating like that. It's going to be good training for him to get better at batting, maybe, as long as this guy's willing to throw.

If this guy wasn't so negative towards practice, he'd be such a trustworthy teammate... or an adversary if on the opponent team. ]

Maybe I'll want another pitch from you... but that'll depend on whether you're willin' to throw some more!

[ He adds his trademark hyena "hyaha!" laugh. If provoking is going to get this guy to stop being so stubborn towards his favorite sport, then so be it. He'll keep prodding! ]
