She loves baseball with her whole heart, but she hasn't gotten a hit all season. Her grandfather Granpa Lou, a former minor leaguer, gives her the one piece of advice she's been missing: the best pitch you ever see is the one you wait for. With her sunflower-seed-eating teammate Benny cheering from the dugout and Granpa Lou still and steady in the bleachers, Rosie finally learns the difference between trying hard and being patient — and discovers that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let a pitch go by. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes: Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax. Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep. A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.","meta_description":"Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories On a warm summer evening at a little league field, a nine-year-old girl named Rosie steps up to bat in the bottom of the l…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1355,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-reading-bug-podcast-original-adventures-bedtime-stories-and-music-for-kids-590759/episodes/bedtime-stories-rosie-waits-for-her-pitch/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reading-bug-podcast-original-adventures-bedtime-stories-and-music-for-kids-590759/bedtime-stories-rosie-waits-for-her-pitch.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
