Luyện nghe bài hát The Blues, Pt. 1

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

top of the and our lead-off hitter makes it to first base.
and here we go, the worst-case
scenario for any pitcher because he got a reckon
that the first chance he gets, he's try to steal second,
which he does. so for the time during the mission,
we've got out and a man in scoring position.
the next batter out to right, but yo word,
still only one out and a runner on third.
so the number 3 hitter steps up to the conventional talk,
where he'll hit, but draws the intentional walk.
it's an old maneuver they made 'cause may follow
unless they get the play from the clean-up hitter and that's me.
the infielder's set up a double depth when they're ready,
but i smack a line drive into left-center for a double, two across,
which just it up to me to do the damage in the clean-up spot,
'cause now the was 3 to 2.
the score remained the through five past hits to pretense.
we it close with a dazzling display of defense.
we had to the starting pitcher, the one that was left handed.
the story of the inning was base runners left stranded
and bullpen activity. but still the job is gettin' it
after a executed hit and run
and what may later to be the ultimate game-winning catch.
we got a tie game going the seventh inning stretch.
