Luyện nghe bài hát The Blues, Pt. 1

a game worth winnin' from the beginnin' of the inning.
an essential day off since provincial playoffs,
and i'm shortstop, batting fourth in the line-up,
the pitcher's a right-hander with an unorthodox wind-up.
and a good move to first, a curve, and changes speeds.
can be wild at and known to blow the strangest leads.
like the last time we faced him, he one savage
lead a loss for his team, and inflated his earned run average.
but today he focused and we were stuck out to dry
in the top of the first he struck out the side.
but in the bottom half, the bad came out swingin'.
a lot of coaches to choose takin' the same route,
bringing the big hitters to the plate, and players are purely speed,
and try to manufacture runs and jump out to an lead.
and time it worked, so we were gonna need a hero,
'cause one complete, the score's already 3 to 0.
leadin' off the second, i at the first pitch.
no wonder the center back-peddled to the track and settled under it.
0 for 1 and get goin'.
the ball's thrown the horn and back to the pitcher now.
and all is good for the bad guys, but not so hot for the visitors.
the big right-hander is no prisoners.
he seems to have us figured out, the question is, can we
he's pitching perfect after 3 and has a 3-1 lead.

top of the fourth and our lead-off hitter makes it to base.
and here we go, the worst-case
scenario for any opposing pitcher because he got a
that the first chance he gets, gonna try to steal second,
he does. so for the first time during the mission,
we've got nobody out and a man in position.
the next flies out to right, but yo word,
that's only one out and a runner on third.
so then the number 3 hitter steps up to the talk,
showin' where he'll hit, but the intentional walk.
it's an old maneuver they made trouble may follow
unless they get the play from the clean-up hitter and that's me.
the set up a double play depth when they're ready,
but i smack a line into left-center for a double, bringing two across,
which just leaves it up to me to do the damage in the spot,
'cause now the was 3 to 2.
the score remained the same through five past to pretense.
we kept it close a dazzling display of defense.
we had to the starting pitcher, the one that was left handed.
the story of the sixth inning was base runners left
and bullpen activity. but still the job is it done
a perfectly executed hit and run
and what may later to be the ultimate game-winning catch.
we got a tie game going into the seventh stretch.
