Curt Schilling

Big innings -- look old -- you boom. They're -- in the and.

For the final hour Dennis yeah yeah this is really feel like christmas morning to care look at a yeah yeah. Are you are you nervously excited are you apprehensive what are you about -- ball and it ready yeah. There already. Coaches but I don't think dome on. Overly happy -- distribute take that extra. Well everybody made a big deal in the paper today in the last they're suits that day or two of the today's the -- going to throw the we saw you passed the test on Saturday. -- 97 mile an hour heater right down the middle Ameritech. Yeah I'm not real sure they want to hear that but. I I didn't meet the gravel beds that in the books will we know what I would've taken you yard but it you're thrilled here. They're going to look how many months since the Cordoba and shot three almost three months right. Year -- more than that so I'm contenders in February and we portraiture expert.

Yes I didn't know this is the right route the right when you. You've come out and said you know on the Red Sox diagnosis or -- the Red Sox approached plan was it was the right one but.

Do you know that now -- that now.

And we're we're very. There's nothing right now we don't know where the other -- obviously better. -- unpopular Aaron Cook in people's opinions that are that are overseeing this sort. But appoint Robert sharply cuts but do we won't goal. The right or wrong here full time pitcher to appear. They are expecting big thing about this -- the only schedule that. Close to a point five were going to be you know win or loss somebody's going to be rights is going to be wrong. Just not sure when that news and then they don't at this point regulate your -- been built on so so. But I haven't thrown you know pitcher baker -- so that that would be expect.

I was I was sort of surprised to hear you make the analogy that in this entire rehab process you feel like you're still standing. At the base of the mountain with a mountain to climb -- topple what -- three months ago purely the base of the mountain now.

While -- and no matter. What Albert out of so Walter or people with the Cubans already and all the other stuff. It -- very small piece of this because I haven't grown he had -- it and sort of the decline that built whole journey here is really. Kind of begins today because. All of that work is two steps lead irrelevant analysts have predicted -- can't play kept completely Peterson so. The other Spirit there -- he -- the extended that nervousness will be bury -- hope Peter will make it to a certain when we're going to build the -- would be open.

So so without being able to throw up to this point for the last three months in what ways have you been able to -- that your make him progress skirt.

But but so I think seventh straight tests based on. -- to pit with a couple different exercises that interest rates internally in my shoulder. The end it all seven progress. BO some -- to -- we have others -- was sit January murder later would have been the first they we have the first test compared to today it's just. And close.

And you pain free. And generally -- you were anything but pain.

Yeah we -- we kind of knew that could be course conditions -- reduce inflammation which is because they've. You know the big test is going to -- doing so upbeat to a to a level that will cause inflation again. Which I will in. How how quickly I don't watches is going to be a problem in. You know that's that's gonna we're going to see if we do -- or repaired right.

Do you have an ideal -- best case scenario date or or month in mind.

Yeah I think I feel I have a lot of Wendell I have met. Joke but there -- going to keeping that myself and been -- start. Peter I'm going to date for the first time and they still look back if we're used to get ready proceed and try and map out you know. Where would be in the wintertime are being -- whatever Berrian in the order -- Kevin fixable breeze here so you know I have an idea.

You to LSU going to try to restructure of the a bonus clause -- contract is if you succeeded in --

in the final stages of -- finishing got out. Beep -- wording it in particular problem and they Amanda yeah.

Yeah and what eloquently and obviously won't be wait anymore what will be based.

The all -- to come back and pitching to that earned anymore via boat. Any dirt cheap when it appeal.

promote sports starts and then you know quite come back and pitch for. I think everybody's -- treatment that. When I come back and pitch hopefully going to throughout there's always going to be a period of time that I -- cystic everybody agrees but I am going to have some time before the wheels fall and so. We're trying to -- with a big. -- this is everybody's trying to catch exactly what that period aren't going to be in maximized by used to. In that period. So -- that's the challenge.

Is this going to be immediate value of the ball park early to get this over with the picture it. -- sixty feet are you kidding me a minute they know winner ideas that are going to be cameras there yeah. Costumes era on the team had not expected it sure sure you know yeah -- catch you had to say that have a catch -- never heard that -- a have you ever walked eight guys and won again. --

I think even remotely total. Very creative flickered horsepower I -- our walks six and he gave it felt like there. They're sort of -- for the stop.

This requires some speculation on your part but on the regular shot anyway unless dice -- man is losing fairly Tito's instructions in translation. My guess is that Daisuke. Knows what they want him to do and that's I don't expressions pitch to contact but but not -- so I guess the question is. Is he choosing to ignore those instructions and nibble or is he just not able to command and get the ball on the flight.

They thought I mean they're going to be very very. Dangerous work because it implies something is invincible those things are true to -- talked about. I don't know that its battle to keep dimples as much as he doesn't command all the pitches he wants to command the -- what they want the command. Yeah he's got such good stuff that. I think he feels like. At times any pitch any time. In some nights. You understand as a pitcher that there's very few very -- exercising used every trick. Because it is different pitchers were -- the but he he takes it I've always -- Japanese pitcher always took a lot of pride in being. Era thrown a lot of innings pitching very deep in games. Pan to when you grow up understanding the pitch count as irrelevant because it is -- it in the forest. That's 41 of the pet -- in Japan's Daisuke throw we know but I useful epic. You know the big -- director of third at the pitched complete games and it's okay -- so you -- the -- but that's also -- just changeover. There and tortured opened the --

The pitch counts aside you know you talk about command and control. You know when you're out there what's working what's not to be surprised to -- golf analogy here but if you missed the first four -- for their driver a lot of people put that driver away and hit three wood should a pitcher not do that if if he's not commanding a certain pitcher to all.

I would argue that the producer which is through his driver away you know in my mind I don't ever you know. I don't sit up there and tell myself. You know much what's the important that I -- not grow on the dirt eat you adjust you you don't Beers situation -- you know that. That's a tough one because that that really I don't look -- better in agreement that mentality all part of thanksgiving -- don't let yeah exactly I also big if that's stubborn ness and -- And -- can hurt you as much as help you just you have to -- order to understand didn't Jim Palmer always said that you know beside him a great pitcher was. The guys who got loose for a game and he couldn't throw his curveball for a strike it was good it up to still be in the game when it showed out and I always took that approach and that beaten the matter how -- what was -- litigation everything would be working more eventually when I needed and in and so yeah I don't I don't I don't know if that's what the case it. We don't want to issues too as severe as so many pitchers. And that you know that that is spent to challenge this you know it's obvious he'd do the math. Every time you have a pitch beyond two. You have to take away time and effort from master one of the first two that you throw. So we've talked military -- by the six stitches and I would like to throw fibers are expected it stands to reason is just not going to I was going to commit as a guy with three.

David doesn't he -- what -- tech calls.

I I mean there's a lot you are notes I'd be ordered believe there's a lot more of consistency there it'll work your relationship -- like steak you know I think it. I think -- give you some expected Daisuke goes. Into his own patterns sometimes based on his past and what -- do what you can do. And he's built from there about fifth at least somewhat of a veteran guys see you allowed you know that. You know we considered talk about what we've figured wrong well they've -- matters of seven earlier fixable. So.

As the easy strikes on different as he adjusted to that.

That's absolutely huge attribute their -- Are straight and Sox over here.

Ramirez a pitch of the belly button against any is it is high and ticket in Japan. Is not a strike.

It's borderline and approachable but the double world overnight and go to.

Right that's it Tom Glavine was -- in the pitchers don't want that call the strike because it it is the -- missiles that to swing at it.

But I love and the thing is that that would just took courage much quicker game and -- before precedent. Apart shied away if you're used a lot of pars that would be in the blocked -- in the first you know metropolis -- looked elsewhere about the very remote. That was it sank philosophical strikes so it became going. And then that was the way it was that I even that doesn't exist. Lotteries in the won their creative on that on the -- request exit from. And those greats have -- significant financial impact on the player's future. Could you make. Postseason rosters post season they'll playoff rounds as an umpire a lot of it starts and that it -- or.

Do you think the game needs sped up that's a and B if you were a commissioner for a day what would you do disputed upkeep the batter's box.

Yes eight Peterson billion things to do the first thing about it in the box -- Yes and no but the fact of the matter is based took their event worked last year and they are just -- up strikes strike -- would change everything if they consistently called strike zone you know they called a rule book strike zone which is the armpit so that bottom than being you know -- playing our particular mechanics and rebel you know let's go to war because separate I think. The United carpet you know that that's the one that's wonderful ago. Totally changed -- time been you know you look at the accurate -- the past couple years I've been here they take longer than the other and infrequently and -- was obvious can't. Which is a nightmare if you don't eat you don't want to be a national TV you know because. And I'm one of those guys when I get up to the mound against them I'd find myself throwing almost W well warm -- a way to ports as long. Because for the commercial breaks for our -- women -- or rhythm to it they help but -- strikes at Drexel but one that --

And and the rule -- that they were so they're going to enforce really as ineffectual because. It's -- it's twelve seconds that does Jerry but that's right and that's and that's -- that -- and that the clock starts running. Win the batter make eye contact with a pitcher on the mound -- twelve more seconds.

Clark surgery is just get the ball. Also the rules the rules is with the win the -- o'clock starts -- on the twelfth circuit however what you get the ball back from the catcher.

Wimbledon nobody doesn't twelve say yeah.

What more a lot you surprised but there -- a lot of guys don't -- spot -- reports appear extremely. Like we're literally could be the topic but news item for people to know and or shall we guys that are slow.

It's the worst example -- I mean you -- it at that Curt Schilling field in Little League game yes he gives step out of box getting on the clock readjusted their glove got to be like Ortiz or or. Or Troy -- used to be Nomar he was the world scourge of of youth league.

League coaches are accessible on toxic acute. Between recent approach -- victory.

But the you know you know. And whether or not withstanding a Saturday was certainly a great day in midfield would -- great.

While incredible actor really really appreciate you Linden Peter. In the people come and also.

We wouldn't win a great double what was more surprising and heartwarming for you your Little League coach showing up. From Arizona or the baseball field being named Curt Schilling much -- surprise.

They're both big albeit very we we are still very close friends we have been reported from years. You know field obviously cool it was their -- comparable. Who -- extreme because it was. It was a bet -- it was Foster better -- but -- it and you know that I was kind of what popped open it was. It was it was awesome -- me give my way to it was -- coach for couple years grown up there's there's been a very very well that sit down after I lost my father it was a it's significant merit oil left for a long long -- we gave. It's -- that it was just like that would in my it was it was a part of for our I had that -- before -- eight. The Diamondbacks both field that element -- scored Felix. And and I have my name on it it was a part of I've actually have my kids -- in the -- there was very well.

Somebody else in my opinion comparable facilities at the Schilling complex. Are -- with a still is of federally bargains lemon influences.

Yeah that's what they like they did a phenomenal job and they note from me. The big thing about that was and in the reason why you know we're going to raise our kids period because you know he saw that the entire countless that are in. So -- people plates such as significant role in in big part of that make that happen. -- community uses to oh -- of people.

I think -- before about what you of this your wife has more energy than any ten people have ever seen out of -- I don't know how he you know utterly and how you try to keep up with mercker and she she she Randy you know all the wives team sort of captain she got behind the plate caught the should look at nasty foul tip. She's run probably 217 things at once just get stuff done in the movie Hannibal we ran the marathon coaches this does that. Yeah just sleep again and get up what the ballpark for him.

You know the joke you know whether we we. We've definitely don't lack for things to -- Which -- duplicate state could be -- few sport or if it's important because -- several polish you know to give away from it's always accurate to allow them recent word about. --

And -- in emerges as you said her. Do we have to go to this the night I'm not.

I gotta believe that actually might be -- it appeared that probably the most relations because. It's -- a lot of work until we got. No word respect or Barrett are cute but could tell me and culture if you told me so she's got a black -- which forget. --

Critical kudos for disease and or asleep she's -- that's true right she's a run and put -- these friends for next year's Boston I was yeah he's going to get --

There is one of the future performance in the Bob Costas special the other night as one of the athletes who was interviewed in one of the king of the blogging world. Were you embarrassed Guerrero will bleacher -- lap it was this in -- when he went off on.

I did not fear seeing snow I heard about it well. I heard that period couple or couple.

Uncomfortable doesn't describe Micah someone send you in these these newfangled these TV sets things they'll never work -- got to stick the radio like -- curtain butch --

Little -- uncomfortable but I got hurt this guy before. Circular -- sure he would try to --

That's not -- all today he didn't like the fact that these bloggers and he's in and as. So were lowering the bar and -- low brow and he was thrown at bombs.

Oh wow you know an -- out. -- certainly liked the colts yeah in Canada and back -- becoming obsolete.

don't have a -- real multi the moral ethics standards that the media has been held to -- twenty years can we island approachable. Yeah true -- hurtful will which is probably -- a whole lot response.

Time has passed this poor guy Bosnia sent -- an and according to reports he's embarrassed he saw himself yes -- and so on this show just.

The defeat to purpose -- you're talking about the low brow aspect of bloggers and your F bombing your way through the conversation yes. Appreciate the time good luck today for the big media event is doesn't look live at what documents -- Curt Schilling with doesn't -- land
