Jerry Remy

Joining us on the eighteenth the hotline is Jerry ram me Jerry Remy has brought Cuba Lexus of Watertown and -- insurance and Mohegan sun. A Rem dog.

But don't I don't -- the I'm not there's just settled a lawsuit you know -- on the amount that cholera is laundry done. Yeah I and so partially cut it to bring more underwear that to open nineteen days and it worked out perfect.

Steven -- brought nineteen paerson brought enough for ninety Beckham be prepared that could be five there could be one parent we don't know your habits injure.

I -- I was one Derek bell is fun -- no problem.

A good how's the food over there Jerry.

I don't know our guys got paid the hotel every day they penetrated Vick -- there is no I've found a couple things and amended that I like this so there was no need really don't tell what's what to do it again.

I was the cable did you have enough channels and and in English and.

They had one game -- CNN that was some players from the US sometimes international athlete about what bit couldn't put it out anymore we just got enough.

Right so would you do. Read those -- Jose's book.

I'm going to I had account of the time to get out of actually did you always. You know looking back on I mean it was okay but it was it was a tough trip there's no question about that missed out one that -- I pros who want to make again.

And you you you know him and you played you've been in the club like you know these guys it is a problem on an ongoing problem is it not.

Yeah I -- I I think that -- you know -- that time will come -- there -- yesterday certainly helped get back home there's no question. I assume committee had watched Eugene you know that the big patted the -- in Toronto. And to some crazy reason I don't know what it was comin' back there LA wasn't so bad because we had a few exhibition games and they you know they had a chance to maybe get some rest there but those additional three I was going to back to the east coast episode crazy reason -- slow worsened but you know like get they felt but and was in Toronto that I actually didn't LA so was there was it's kind of a strange. I don't know this do you get most information on how to adjust for the time and it's that which you know your body told you look I'm going to do I want to do. I don't feel lousy what I want to feel lovely so that that you could do to make about a and that that's pretty much -- but he felt I think you know they were all really look forward to getting back to Fenway for that the ceremony yesterday and and get started on their home schedule.

So the regular season really starts. --

I think maybe tonight you know you got through it got through the floor opening day he had to go broke yes they've always special especially when they get their championship brings you know which those great decision but now I think the flow of the seasons thus began -- get the Yankees coming in over the weekend which would be another circus. So but you know he's not going to shut the play every day in and things will be normal Nomar introductions I just -- again.

You know I was with that in this is that as I'm watching the ceremonies and obviously get swept up and it was well done well orchestrated as always. And taken will ever run out of ideas because. Within a few of these ceremonies these opening days these extravaganzas and they always work they they they always seem to be a success. By the time the first pitch is thrown your almost worn out emotionally.

The other it was good time that I -- all of -- particularly enjoy AM at my favorite spot as the watched you know the players get their rings because. That's what they played -- you know put to watch them go out of feelings and get this second ring out what a few years. I -- not that bad to me is pretty special revenue that goes along with a deceit some of the great athletes who haven't played in all their sports in this found c'mon wouldn't BBC by the crowd and you know I. What do what do plays -- glad to you know that it brings back a lot of memories you know UV by the saw this guy play our you know I mean just to me to watch Bobby you'll walk on the feel I mean. He's the reason I watch hockey when you know I was a kid so. I mean almost going to recognize you right -- they do a great job over there really do the flags coming down near the 2007 come over 2004 aren't. Don't just nicely done like well I didn't you know like that they they really put a lot of time and effort into it. And that it can't really enjoy it.

Hey Jerry it's brad Faxon Doug did you know. Before the game started what was going to happen to they tell you there's going to be a fly over they tell you that.

I don't discriminate we didn't we we know certain things you know but we -- Bob -- is a matter of fact doesn't have a lunch. Think I'll be and so that means that you brought -- the first register last. I think that's different that is Lester script I got so -- getting ready to tell him that I'm up until today you know so.

Go get your picture taken with a trophies a -- hasn't.

Knoblauch brought in that we've done we got a lot of that Japan so conceded you know I was out there and let's see buckets you know UK utility was -- was emotionally touched by it solely trying to figure out you guys never played together did you I'm not go to bed done when he got over here I was I was an out and when you.

It looked and looked it up you're last you finish today for early in the air India and became mid season. And we will wonder in this because it was kind of strange appearance in the -- I know he was a -- you know he's emotionally drained in the news and probably very tired. But I didn't sense there was any real chemistry with you and -- there's so we had to go back and see if you were teammates and and we learned that you were not.

Now in the he's pretty quiet guy and they were much you know and and I kind of knew that when he was going to come up you know that he wouldn't need -- we wouldn't say Russian a few times since and you -- some old Seattle a couple of years ago and still you know low -- mellow guy you know but -- fierce competitor you got no you know we watched them play. And if you know I -- imagine it all players worst nightmare an end is is just to be. A person who makes a mistake in a big game when you see all -- over and over again every time. You know you turn on something negative about the reds are actually get Bucky -- got an -- And you know you got its sister gets those so tiring and you know all the good things it's to a -- kind of horrible windows so I think youkilis said it best you know I -- from a player's point -- I'm year old would use when you see stuff like that over and over and over again and you know I just makes you feel good when you see when you see a guy you receive a way he would yesterday admitted that I didn't expect anything different I mean when it finally was sub interest which -- do. The other response would be great. And Tom and get out there they had a lot of options and who could've done about it about it provincial place and I thought that and also that it will certainly don't forget.

I if I gave your choice you have to pick one of the other this season. Matsuzaka will win twenty or twelve which would you have been -- do you choose.

I was pitcher right now close and it's not X -- you know I mean he dealership so much more relaxed that he did a year ago you know post -- we were over and your fifth or six days this -- was here that you -- for a whole season I can imagine I get a better idea now. How tough GPA and had a -- M a year ago just to get a -- being here ends and with really no knowledge at all of Tokyo -- opposition. So he's got all right under his belt right now I think he's got more confidence in what you know he's able to do and he just he just makes it look easy out there you know last couple ago.

Out of them they look it's very physically Q does he look like he says he put up more ways he looks.

I was just saying to me you know let's say to Milledge is. I just think key you know I think you learned a lot last year. And and you know as I said you know accused I think he's trusting its past all of them -- now he's just putting him as a way elected on that getting at a guy's gonna run a -- agreed to. You know he's going to -- a guys now he's put them away and you know it's totally a couple of games but you know he had two very good games in a good three innings in Japan. And I'm always right now you have total confidence in him when he takes the mound.

I think you're right though the hardest thing for these for a lot of foreigners when they come over -- the stuff that's off the field and you said you went over there for nine days and it in the hotel every night and that's one they're wanting to speak generally don't have any Japanese speaking channels and -- here.

you know you kind of forget about stuff like that you know you -- the Latin players in that caused the Japanese players a minute totally out of their culture. And you know we had a little places that forever those days over in Japan. And you know just personally sitting in the room anonymous -- DVD I mean it's as simple things like that. And you know he -- on -- club big contract high expectations -- here and also huge expectation to Japan where is that god. And you know you've got all on your mind in particular as a rookie into the in his first year and dom. I that again flashier way didn't pitch that badly it is apologize and you know for his performance and then you know I've so I think. Other -- put together I mean he has to have a much better a couple of level this year. That he did and if you if you he's not a comfortable that we got receive reform does not I would expect that would happen.

Don't forget no heated toilet seats here at throw you for a.

I don't know the best thing about Japan it was great every noted that it won't play as a lot of what you -- sort of.

They got more than that over the it -- you you you wouldn't want to do that -- Odds -- that when he gets that pretty well.

Are we ever going to see ellsbury like start I don't two straight games.

Well probably does he keep writing it as an earlier I think it's -- to -- it was going -- out I think. You know laden game growing global player basically -- left handed starters I think when they got monuments like juicy celebrate tonight not --

And Nate Robinson I believe.

Our lefties -- get human Chico -- so I mean I think this -- don't want throw a period of time a short period of time in the -- you know we're locals you don't play as well you know he's probably get that chance probably against lefties but you know I think as time goes -- probably going to see more adult there's no question that they you know they want him to be the set of field.

You sit out of a difference than in the fence between the two of them Jerry.

I won't call goes a little more power shot you know immediate and allow longer I didn't catch up so it was a great catch and that -- golf and from my vantage point you know he was hadn't been the wrong direction. The window all of that -- admit that -- or back commit maybe catch go to the green monster so I mean he's really really good out there. And it is you know last year actually leash could've won -- gold glove as an outfielder so you know I think I they'd just experience alone you know he might have an edge I met but you know the world replay is still more experience he's going to get you know he's also going to be very good could you got great speed and sometimes speed Jamaica for a lot of mistakes so you know they're big oh good out did -- no question that -- right now I'm a slight edge.

who'd win in erased the first.

I think when I -- I don't know I had to go when they're both fast and you -- elderly couple died last year tripled look -- fly I don't know how big difference there is from the base stealing one have you I don't think it'll be controlled Elliott last year road you know yet this year so you don't give them. It's a little weird situation -- right now and I think it's very uncomfortable probably for a -- for both of them you know because they both want to keep playing all time. -- What do you must be an everyday player I don't like -- you know like give I can't blame them for that. Other Red Sox got to live both -- maybe maybe they but we'll see as time goes on.

I'm into the argument Jerry's the talk it was a better fastball hitters that's all year all he can hit the fastball have you seen him at a fastball two years.

And I usually if you open.

I'd sure he has but they've been few and far between and you talked during the Toronto series about how impressed you over the blue jays fundamentally the how. There's just a well rounded team do you think they're more of a threat to the Yankees are to the Red Sox should.

They look pretty good early did but the only kid members they got to keep it up to guys felt they didn't -- especially Burnett better and as a wave going on the DL about five times a year. FY -- if that happens that they could quickly for a lot of things but Gilbert got a pretty nice little club up there and you know -- wells is healthy again. I expect big things got they have Rios is -- one of the top young players in the game excited got to help well Omar we don't Norfolk are much open has left when he gets back like -- overbay at first base Benji has got a nice little club you know if they get B. J. Ryan back somewhat. That close to what he was with Baltimore -- avocado and the bullpen so they can mix and match there. Yeah they've -- you know they're maybe they're they've taken the approach to. Where it looks like they're going to be a little bit more aggressive -- that they have been in the past but it did nothing before that you know there was nobody knew though it'd run there was none of that stuff. So whether they can also put a little pressure on -- out to offensively so. And they got good arms in the bullpen I get all ecstatic about the bullpen. Really have good strong and so yeah -- Vick could you know -- could be a team -- to be reckoned with and you know big. They got the Red Sox at a good time not come about from Japan but they also played very good baseball -- just not play in every phase of the game.

Ortiz and Sydney 13 but but the point early doesn't really seem like that many almost at a grand slam guest today is he does he look like he's in a funk do you.

Ali yeah I got a little bit you know and then it it's it's exchanges dance a little bit looks like most been down he has been in the past I don't know the reason for that but you know I don't get too concerned about things you know week or so into the season even a month into the season you know what the weather gets better although we did have decent weather early initially felt we can be played in all the stuff so comfortable but you know -- have a way of figure it out and he'll figure it out and then once he does you know some of the great big time but it's -- it's just tinkering with the engine omitted something in the stands maybe he's not been selected as you'd like debate but he'll get a dog I mean the good ones always do.

Speaking of tinkering to elect Manny as new Jim Thome thing where he holds the bat out front of them.

I got a little relaxation thing you know the guys. Guys have different ways setting up two pitches to help them relax and he's he's. You know he looks fewest reluctant up there and you know the I said that I expect a big big year out of many and he's great I mean -- He didn't. It was more talkative this year we've worked you know the first section -- resist so he's having fun playing you know on the good thing about it is he likes playing here all the sudden you know there a couple of years -- it wasn't crazy about it. Wanted to be traded left alone. Some reason now he's embraced it got to focus because he's got the option is coming up but he truly seems to enjoy this whole atmosphere and and you know when you're blue would certainly get me -- when you Abby got to play better and would I want to when he got so like it got to play well.

When you have a winning combination is great team great city and in a lot of money you better be.

That's been the case for a long time reprimand he's not always happen what we give us an example Rem dog he confides in -- we knew we know that. What is he said the lately.

I also they went over Japan that we had to go to this functioned and have to -- and we we did go to destruction fire -- of such destination -- you know -- but did the only minister also no way that the lighthouse. -- it was funny as solidly at the plate -- media the people -- couldn't. Yeah and you know talking about how old to be want to -- is no agent let me and he -- he just one not an odd and he was seen was very entertaining in the people enjoy that minute the people to see that side of them you know bit if he's almost a full lap there's no question about that -- awful feel a lot of feel I mean you know -- good he doesn't -- just -- he'll have to -- I mean he's he just seems I don't know it -- definitely just seems more relaxed with a yourself what if everything is surrounding taught him to the media honest teammates and you know which has always been good well. So are you won't see what happens I mean you know he's also what 36 years old. And you know -- the better years behind him. Arm partially you know Woolsey but I would say probably not -- there's a few more real good ones and.

And -- these guys. You know on the golf -- if you have a swingman I gotta help you swing a swing coach. The players all have different coach is a winner on a team you have one guy to Kenya help you out to -- Ortiz and Manny today. They -- the to the hitting coach all the time as -- one guy or today today can go somewhere else and when when Ortiz switches and stance whose ideas that.

But you know also the recommendations Odyssey come from the hitting coach at all because they spend their time you know break it down the video and what you don't know there's there's always seem to be somebody else that maybe. You know you -- front -- many yards and maybe sees something you know that somebody else doesn't you know. I mean obviously your first choice of hitting coach and that and that's that's who's spent the most time try to get things corrected Mets the Medicare statement he's not getting but you know somebody else -- something you know like the relationship between Mirabelli -- that was very good you know they would they would talk about things so you know I don't. It did it matters I mean you you you you want the hitting coach to be the got a picture but sometimes it still some crazy things -- from other places and maybe just as simple as. What do you -- are always standing in the -- you know it's it's it's little things like that. And all the sudden something collection and when it clicks and you are often running you know and Mexico from anywhere.

To guys like Manny and Ortiz that they help each other out of date and -- technical sort of guys they Watson video yeah.

The man admit he's always working -- getting you know I mean every single day it means simply different soft toss and batting practice and meet. You know he's a very hard worker and been very conscious about it that they don't they are a lot. But I mean that a lot of as such he does people don't say. And him you know I think that you know guys like that have been around so long that they got a pretty good idea what they need to do and how to get it done. But -- there are times we totally lost -- and and you need somebody to command and get older it might be the smallest suggestion but did they work for a and it's amazing how just a little adjustment and it turned into a base -- you don't change a whole attitude about things.

I'd Rem dog Bonderman versus Lester tonight is this the night that Detroit wins like thirteen to two as you know the tiger is going to bust for two touchdowns. One of these days.

This that it's arguably the rubber this side they garden you know that that the other got to start try to run they cut line up is awfully tough in you know any pitcher goes out there -- is going to be a challenge it is no question they they're really really good and the you know they just. They try to right now and and you know it'd just got to take him a couple of wins before they get role of the wants to get rolling going to be tough to stop. Are you already you know it's going to be tough for Lester ready to unofficial lineup like that you know it's going to be a major challenge is going to be about a lot of that he faced last time and in Oakland he did pitch very well Oakland. And hopefully -- titles they're defunct for the next couple days.

Jerry we will be watching is always -- we'll talk to next week extra extra volatility -- Jerry Remy was presented by eighteen -- More bars in more places which to be wireless network with the best global coverage. AT&T your world delivers.
