Luyện nghe bài hát The Blues, Pt. 1

a game winnin' from the beginnin' of the first inning.
an essential day off since provincial playoffs,
and i'm shortstop, batting fourth in the line-up,
the opposing 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 time we faced him, he one savage
lead into a for his team, and inflated his earned run average.
but today he seems focused and we were out to dry
in the top of the first he struck out the side.
but in the bottom half, the bad guys out swingin'.
a lot of coaches like to choose takin' the route,
bringing the big hitters to the plate, and that are purely speed,
and try to runs and jump out to an early lead.
and this time it worked, so we gonna need a hero,
'cause one complete, the score's already 3 to 0.
off the second, i swung 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 back to the 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 question is, can we
pitching perfect after 3 complete and has a 3-1 lead.

top of the fourth and our hitter makes it to first base.
and here we go, the worst-case
scenario for any opposing pitcher he got a reckon
that the first he gets, he's gonna try to steal second,
which he does. so for the first time the mission,
got nobody out and a man in scoring position.
the batter flies 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,
showin' where he'll hit, but the intentional walk.
it's an old maneuver made 'cause trouble may follow
unless they get the double play from the clean-up and that's me.
the infielder's set up a double depth when they're ready,
but i smack a drive 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 the same through five past hits to pretense.
we kept it close with a dazzling of defense.
we had to pull the starting pitcher, the one that was handed.
the story of the sixth inning was runners left stranded
and bullpen activity. but still the job is gettin' it
after a executed hit and run
and what may later prove to be the ultimate catch.
we got a tie going into the seventh inning stretch.
