So Akitsu Maru had to introduce them to real soccer. In

I'm no good with sports, so I'll leave what Akitsumaru said in the last panel to who's familiar with it.

Here's the thing - she says 'Pitcher'; i.e. the baseball pitcher, and as far as I (and a google search) know, I can't put that with soccer. So, unless I'm missing something, it could be that she doesn't know about soccer either.

To sum it up in fewer words, Akitsu Maru used a Baseball heckle in a soccer game.

I'm not super-familiar with baseball heckles; I think that's one of them, right?

It is.
You're basically calling the pitcher a lazy sack of shit.

Yep that's what I suspected at first, but I wasn't sure if it was correct. Thanks to both of you for clarifying.

I'm not all too familiar with both soccer and baseball even though I kind of did them a bit. But I think the point is that Akitsumaru knows nothing of soccer right? She's using only baseball's terms.

With some further research, ピッチャービビってる is from Little League baseball, said by the other pitchers to intimidate and put pressure on the pitcher in question.

It's just calling the pitcher afraid. Often with Hey, hey, hey! before it. So... I guess this still works? Although what I put there is less intimidation and more just slagging them off.

Wait a sec...
