Luyện nghe bài hát The Blues, Pt. 1

a worth winnin' from the beginnin' of the first inning.
an essential day off it's provincial playoffs,
and i'm shortstop, batting fourth in the line-up,
the opposing pitcher's a right-hander with an wind-up.
and a good move to first, a curve, and changes speeds.
can be wild at times and known to the strangest leads.
like the last time we faced him, he turned one
lead a loss for his team, and inflated his earned run average.
but he seems focused and we were stuck out to dry
in the top of the 'cause he struck out the side.
but in the bottom half, the bad came out swingin'.
a lot of coaches like to choose the same route,
bringing the big to the plate, and players that are purely speed,
and try to runs and jump out to an early lead.
and this it worked, so we were gonna need a hero,
after one complete, the score's already 3 to 0.
leadin' off the second, i at the first pitch.
no wonder the center fielder to the track and settled under it.
0 for 1 and get goin'.
the ball's around the horn and back 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 seems to have us figured out, the is, can we compete?
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
for any opposing pitcher because he got a reckon
that the first chance he gets, he's gonna try to 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,
that's only one out and a runner on third.
so then the number 3 steps up to the conventional talk,
where he'll hit, but draws the intentional walk.
it's an old they made 'cause trouble may follow
unless they get the double from the clean-up hitter and that's me.
the infielder's set up a double play depth 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 same through five past to pretense.
we kept it close with a display of defense.
we had to the starting pitcher, the one that was left handed.
the story of the sixth inning was base left stranded
and activity. but still the job is gettin' it done
a perfectly executed hit and run
and what may later prove to be the ultimate catch.
we got a tie game going the seventh inning stretch.
