Thanks KB.
7
So we're gonna go down memory lane a little bit here Big Papi.
8
I remember 2004 I was 28 years old you were 27 well at least 27.
9
Hey, be careful, man.
10
And we were up 3 -0.
11
We had just beat the piss out of you in game three.
12
We were thinking, we're going to the World Series.
13
And we have Mariano Rivera on the mound.
14
He pitched a clean eighth inning.
15
And here comes goofy Kevin Millar.
16
He concerned me for two reasons.
17
Number one, he's a right -handed hitter.
18
Righties always saw and hit Mariano better.
19
Better, yeah.
20
And Kevin, as goofy as he is, that man can hit.
21
Oh, yeah.
22
And he knows the strike zone.
23
Oh, yeah.
24
And I also knew that he didn't give a crap about Mariano.
25
He was going to fight him tooth and nail.
26
High -off walk, and there's life for the Red Sox.
27
Before Mallard drew that walk, did you think it was over?
28
You know you're facing the best of the best at the time.
29
But your instinct and what you are supposed to do is just fight back.
30
And that's exactly what we end up doing.
31
We have Dave Roberts coming in, still in the bag.
32
Roberts is going.
33
Passada's throw.
34
Oh, Roberts, for sake.
35
Fasada throws a bullet.
36
Perfect, yeah.
37
Jeter makes a perfect tag, just gets in there.
38
What are you thinking at that point?
39
We have men in second with Mariano pitching.
40
That is something that you barely see guys getting to first base when Mariano was in the mound.
41
But getting to second base, that just, you saw the whole crowd going crazy.
42
You saw, it seems like everything come back alive.
43
But I had a question for you, Adol.
44
When you guys, as the Yankees, start feeling the pressure, when you guys start feeling like you guys were in trouble?
45
When Miller was at the plate, and I knew very vividly in my mind
46
that the home run as a walk -off was that day game in Fenway earlier that year.
47
And I also knew he won the batting title.
48
But because it was Mariano Rivera, I felt like we had Superman on the mound.
49
Up the middle, Roberts will come to the plate.
50
Bill Miller has tied it.
51
I'm watching the whole thing, and now the motivation and the momentum, it feels like it's going our way,
52
even if we were 3 -0.
53
It almost felt like at that point you had nothing to lose.
54
You were playing with the house's money, and we had all the recourse on us.
55
We had to now finish, and we had the responsibility to close.
56
And obviously, we never closed.
57
But I'll share one thing with you, Poppy, is, and this was a bad feeling that I got.
58
In the bottom of the eighth inning, after the eighth was over, Mariano just had a one, two, three, and you're feeling pretty good.
59
I went down to get an extra set of batting gloves.
60
It was super cold that night.
61
And I couldn't get in my locker because it was full of plastic, and all the champagne was ready,
62
and everyone's ready to party.
63
And I was so pissed off that I said, screw the batting gloves.
64
I said, why are these things up? and I just kind of walked out.
65
And I just didn't like that, because I am a believer that you never celebrate till it's truly over.
66
The temperature continues to fall here in Boston as we move to the bottom of the 12th, the 4 -4 game.
67
You know how we approach pitchers.
68
We go back to the history that we have with them.
69
And you make up your mind.
70
As I was getting mature and getting more experience, I used to work on history and results.
71
And it was three homers that I hit during this playoff that I expect those pitchers to give me those pitches.
72
Control, Paul, when he was with the Blue Jays, he had that front door fastball that he would throw right at you and boom, come back to the play.
73
And the minute I saw him coming out of the bullpen, I went to looking for the front door fastball.
74
Ortiz into deep right field.
75
We'll see you later tonight.
76
I'm glad that the homerun you hit of Quantro decorated your life.
77
It ruined mine.
78
And decorated yours, too.
79
Exactly.
80
Anyways, this is the most torturous segment I've ever done in my Fox career.
81
Thank you very much, Papi.
82
So like therapy.
83
KB, back to you.
84
I'm a therapist.
85
The doctor, Papi.
86
Thank you.

¿Por qué practicar el habla con este video?

Este video es una joya para tu práctica de inglés hablado porque captura una conversación informal y dinámica entre dos deportistas. Las charlas sobre momentos deportivos son ideales para aprender a expresar emociones, relatar eventos pasados y usar un vocabulario coloquial. Además, la fluidez y la naturalidad de los hablantes te permiten practicar la técnica de shadowing: repite frases al mismo tiempo que los escuchas, mejorando tu ritmo y confianza. Es un ejercicio rápido que te da resultados visibles en poco tiempo.

Gramática y expresiones en contexto

Analicemos 3 estructuras clave del diálogo:

  • "We were thinking, we're going to the World Series": El uso de past continuous ("were thinking") para describir acciones en progreso en el pasado, acompañado de un futuro simple ("we're going to"). Ideal para relatar pensamientos en situaciones intensas.
  • "He didn't give a crap about Mariano": Expresión coloquial ("didn't give a crap about") que significa "no le importaba nada a". Es útil para transmitir indiferencia o valentía en contextos informales.
  • "When you guys start feeling the pressure": La estructura "when + present continuous" para hablar de momentos en los que algo comienza a suceder. Perfecta para describir cambios en la tensión o la emoción.

Trampas comunes de pronunciación

El video tiene palabras y acentos que merecen atención para mejorar la pronunciación en inglés:

  • "Mariano Rivera": Presta atención a la pronunciación de "Rivera" (no "Rivéra") y a la conexión entre "Mariano" y "Rivera" (se dice rápido, sin separar las palabras).
  • "Walk - off": Se pronuncia "wók - of" (con el acento en la primera sílaba), no "wálk off". Es un término deportivo común, así que ¡memorízalo!
  • "Fenway": El estadio de los Red Sox se dice "Fénwei" (acento en la primera sílaba), no "Fenwái". Importante para hablar de deportes estadounidenses.

Con estos tips, tu shadow speech será más preciso y natural. ¡Ponlo en práctica hoy mismo y siente cómo tu inglés avanza!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
