It's Marinerd's fault

I googled baseball filk to see what I would find and I found a page by someone calling herself "Marinerd" and one of her filks was to "Eye of the Tiger". I loved it. But I thought I could improved it. So this is version 2. by me based on Marinerd's work.

The Guy with the Slider
To the tune of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger"

In to close, bringing the heat
Brad Lidge throws in the 90s
Philly fans are all up on their feet
Want to see him record the last outs

Thinking heat, what do they do?
Take their swing much too early
But Lidge comes in with the breaking stuff too
'Cause the heater's not what he's about

CHORUS:
He's the guy with the slider
Watch the arc of the flight
Darting down as the hitter is retired
With the last of their lineup
In to face him tonight
And they whiff when they're facing the guy
With the slider

Batter up, stand at the plate
Bradley throws him a slider
No longer early, now his swing is too late
And it's strike three and he sits back down

CHORUS:

Got it done, finished the game
Got the save and the glory
In the future, they'll remember his name
As a man in the pitching elite

CHORUS:

The guy with the slider (repeat)
