The plot thickens! I knew that lady must be carrying the torch for yoh's dad...or she's some kind of obsessed fangirl...lol. The baseball love triangle is well and truly begun and the offer for the rival to join the team and fill out the ranks has been made (and will eventually be accepted i'm sure). The game is heating up

Were the animators expecting that audience wouldn't notice reused animation sequences? I understand that this is not a tennis anime, but still, you could do better. And I didn't want to say it first time, but since it's second time already they show us these scenes, I need to say this: when one theguys serves, it actually looks like an out; but okay, let's assume it's either bad animation or the guys get odds given, but Izumi then plays into out, and huge one, or so it seems. And the trainer is distinctly happy with that, which makes me think that either the animation is bad again and the rebound is not shown (or sounded), or that trainer and all other are just retards. The scene where Izumi hits ball in the air lacks hand motion after the hit, too. And lol at sticking out index finger, who taught her to hold racket, that trainer?
And about that disguise... Even if father doesn't recognise her (I can believe that), wouldn't he find out sooner or later regardless, e.g. when he sees the list of the players? I don't think that participation in official games with aliases is allowed. Or Kanako is not afraid of it?

Yeah, throw your promising career and favourite hobby to the garbage. But if she does that because of her father, then I'm okay with it, really

In the preview Ryo said:
Izumi refused to join us without giving us a reason,

"You are a promising star that is even shown on a television with bright future ahead but don't want to join our club that couldn't even find nine members and is not allowed to participate in official tournaments as of yet? WHY??!!1"

In the preview Ryo said:
I can't imagine anyone else filling the last position

Use the force, Luke your imagination, Ryo!

Her daughter Izumi must be the same because the guy is clearly a player, he is kinda playing with these girls.

There's really no need for Izumi to baseball. Tennis is better for girls compared to baseball, at least professionally.
