if you think sawamura was rejected for no reason you haven't been paying attention. when okumura was catching for eijun he tried catching all of his pitches and he failed to catch the most difficult one. because of that okumura started thinking that he's not a good enough catcher to catch for eijun and promised that he won't catch for him until he becomes good enough.
that sort of a slap in the face to furuya (if he knew about it) because okumura has no qualms about catching for him and therefore we can assume that okumura feels good enough to catch for furuya.

im so disappointed, it was like a deja vu but this time with Kuushu. How long are they going to hurt Sawamura's feelings? First Miyuki rejected Eijun when he asked to catch for him and instead he preferred Furuya, now Eijun asked Kyuushu to catch for him but he was rejected yet Kuushu accepted Furuya? What the fuck? What the hell is going on? Im really really mad, and here I thought Eijun finally got himself a catcher who will make him shine but in the end still the same.
I was so excited thinking that finally Eijun and Kuushu gets paired up. ヽ(`Д´)ノ
