MLB エンゼルスvsロイヤルズ

朝,悪寒がしたので,日清の辛麺を食べて,葛根湯を服用して,
午前中は安静モード。タブレットで,大谷翔平選手,二刀流DAYということで,
断片的に観戦していましたが,投手として三者連続奪三振のイニングは
何故か見逃していました。打席はすべてみましたが,フォアボールが多かったですね。
試合は5-0,大谷投手は100球を超えて,8回まで投げて,13奪三振
ナイスピッチングでした。

相変わらず,リスニングにおける不規則動詞の過去・過去分詞の聞き取りが駄目。

Moral Lesson
Gentleness and kind persuasion win where force and bluster fail.
Persuasion has the upper hand over pressure.
Keeping things in perspective.
Violence has its limits, but gentleness has none.
They can’t win if they begin by making threats.
Always treat others with compassion and warmth.
Kindness effects more than severity.
Bluster is not a sign of true power.
