Does he say “..braces up against the wall”(0:03)? I guess he means pressing your body firmly against the wall. But I usually see it’s “brace yourself against something” instead of “brace up”. thanks.

I heard the announcers saying something like “…is down to 2 and 0” when talking about the ball strike count. Is “…down to” a valid phrase in sports? Like “the game score is down to 1-2.” Not sure if i misheard. Thanks

Which preposition is right? I mean the English listening section includes sports commentary.

1. “There was sports commentary in/on the English test.”

2. They put sports commentary in/on the English test.

  1. They put sports commentary in/on the listening section.

“scratch across..” “push across..”. Are these both jargon? Can “across” be dropped? I remember hearing “scratch a couple bases”. Thanks

I watched the replay to make sure the announcer exactly says “..tipped the four hour mark.” Can we say something like “The temperature has tipped 100 F”? “My weight has tipped 200 pounds”?
