05-07-08 Remy

Good performance final hour Dennis and Callahan doing is now on the page TNT hotline is Jerry Remy jury is also brought you by -- got insurance Lexus Watertown. And Mohegan Sun a world that play good morning Rem dog how are -- I did -- hey did you look at or so well last night after two hours and 21 minutes and say you knew we get the go home now all. I know I would actually got to homer was nevertheless the fourth quarter of the Soviet game was unbelievable. That's that's nice on occasion literally half from Detroit would you rather quickly that. -- we did make -- Delgado you'll read all the green light on the way home. That's true the Celtics game was longer than the Red -- I am now totally now. Hey -- Wakefield is the outside Daisuke last night wasn't it six strikeouts no walks sufficient just catch -- throw it.

It's unbelievable I mean you know we're talking about that the way home -- have a conventional pitch of the night before -- walks a guy is. And it got to knuckle ball pitcher doesn't walk anybody last night then he made he led the tigers look silly I mean they just look like they give up in about the fifth inning. And and it was really needed to because you know you'd have Okajima last night -- have Papelbon available. So that didn't go deep in the game like that request with the Red Sox get some runs you know that's really helped to put. Yeah good night overall and you know this tiger team right now struggle and I mean everybody picked them to win the division but the right now they don't look like a team that's going to win it because. They're pitching so bad and they've been sporadic offensively I mean that there offensive numbers of jump but yet they've got a lot of games they've been shut down like last night so you know going to get the first two there's no question about that.

Did you think Wakefield should have been allowed to finish ship and were you surprised he wasn't.

Yeah I did IR I thought it was going to go back out you know because he was under a hundred pitches that I thought of any day with a bullpen did you know pick a complete day off could be that but I guess Francona felt confident with the five run lead and you know so one had to work very much to try to get him straightened out to Bartlett but might have been there -- anybody because as the pistons seemed like a month. So but yeah out little surprise that you know the -- game was brought along it was not a -- definite vocal Wakefield by any means. I thought he price might finish a game but that's very read today.

Hey you know him as well as anyone do you not ever have an idea how long he will try to do this in his in a matter of of just having his heart into it or and and really wanting to go on for a me into his forties mid forties -- vigorous physical.

I I think that you know depends on how he feels about you know how he's performing really had been physically he's fine you know Big -- probably ever has been a lot of -- of that disable -- that I had I guess once -- does. But I mean you know he's got a you can rely on every five days and then what he does is he really gives you an opportunity. But arrest people you know on those game to come up we've got the bullpen has been used Shreveport times in a row -- you biblical people of the game. I mean I think you've got to pitch you know I don't see any sign of him and you're thinking about retirement. A walk about the daughter is that this unique you know option -- really picked up what did the same prize sort not a major investment for the team. And it's comfortable for him so. Bob I don't you know there's been no indication that he's going to call it quits at a time zone ended he shouldn't I don't know you know why should he have been knuckle ball pitchers as well therefore he's a lot of them.

So like 45 realistic 46.

Yeah -- meanwhile -- it is obvious that helping initiated to produce and.

You must hate that as a guy whose career was cut short and a guy who's done when you what about 26 chiseled.

Not quite that young and OW 32 panic there it is so that's cool.

Rem dog would you like -- you like when he's Bobby your guys you look back say if only. They had the technology I could still be plan.

Not really I mean you know look out what you have to get you know I've been 1011 years and in the big leagues in the you know veteran happen to toward the end in the beginning yeah yeah there's no question that have been in today's you know today's medical bossi met those you know I probably -- been a couple more years but. You know I was in middle infield -- second baseman no power. Kerney relative got a little us forty. And you know like my game was was to speak -- need to go they go so but no I I don't I don't look back -- say geez I wish you know let them and I was like I felt lucky get the what I got. And -- guys that it was better at the end -- at the beginning but in today's in today's game there's no question that you know that he would have been different story that was that's.

Actually Bobby you or doesn't say that people say that about -- police say that about him home they had the out for scope yes. If you have a six zippers and you really believe don't -- that did the circular saw Dixon's knee every year.

good guy gets to a point where it is just you just can't do anymore you know and in the last time I won and to get it done it was just hope on my part that somehow maybe magically they'd find something that would make it feel better for a couple Williams and that didn't happen actually it actually came out worsen so there comes a point where. There's only so -- target going there. And you know it it doesn't work out.

Hey Jerry and all the years we've been listing your broadcasts I don't think a on a on the fingers of one hand I can count the number of times used the term brutal. But to use of the night before and I'm wondering is Dice-K simply incapable. Of of pounding the strike zone and pitching to contact or does he choose to do this being stubborn and and and nibble and -- unsuccessfully in my net.

Yeah you know I busy I tried to analyze I mean he really is certainly in the that there was brutal I thought it was terrible -- that you are they guys. And again and that's hard to build up and Evansville you know not give up -- know getting hits often not the amazing thing that you sat in The League in. And opponents batting average against is CRA's -- totally.

The -- swing is going to put John anyway. Why it's like five -- these wild and oh yeah I mean he's got the strangest stat line yet is.

It is is crazy and you know just watching him and judge John Farrell could probably -- about a guy. But it's it is seems to me that is his mechanics are out of whack you know he he makes pitches and -- recalling after pitches and you know that that that to me the recipe for injury you know and then made that we'll have to see how it goes but. I mean I don't know you know I don't know how he pitched in Japan on you know that it is his attitude much better than what he's faced them and maybe he feels he has to -- more of the you know you have to get guys out but it is frustrating and in you know you'll you'll get ahead old one and all the sudden next -- you look up -- three and so would. It's it's just frustrating to watch but you know that it looked up -- the numbers and go out his five and colonies this and Madden. I guess you have to accepted but they you know -- walks in the game that -- jets the.

And they get any closer to -- Coco Crisp trade with anyone.

Not to my knowledge never heard anything in and you know it's actually worked out pretty good news with injuries and stuff like that he's had plenty of playing time held Reese had plenty of playing time and I'd like to bet on that said before like it better with both the -- team I don't know there's going to be floating out there and you know we don't know will hit that hierro we've you know there's not Popovich said there's been no rumors which is generally way anyway if there is something they keep -- very quiet but I don't you know I have not heard anything about that to this point and quite frankly I like the way it is right now.

I'm looking at the division in this in the -- the Yankees and I'm thinking it's time to get the playoff rotation and ordered a mentally you guys -- will will Craig Hansen be on the playoff rotation I'm in a roster.

Maybe just a one inning the second and it seemed to give.

And a -- he close by trade.

Well he has but -- not going to because of here and was -- Bob breaks down and and you know look at the division I mean the Yankees they had used deserting her and they sent Kennedy down so. The two things that you know you look good ballclub that was similar with a young kid -- the back into the rotation and the Yankees haven't got it done in the Red Sox have buckle just out of the pretty good start you know -- Lester has had some good games so you'd have to say that the Red Sox have been dead stare. And they got some depth I mean you know load shelling spotted his throwing program yesterday that's a long way off but you -- colon in the wings so you've got some depth in the starting rotation that maybe maybe you may need as you get at the you know -- of August and September. So I don't see anybody right now and you know we haven't seen Baltimore yet they don't play good but I don't expect them that they -- around I don't see anybody but you know that can compete with.

I won't even look he -- then run away and Hainan thing.

I am incredibly you know -- you know what it would also mean you know he got a -- vote tomorrow night Beckett could have built physical price just don't know. But you know if everybody stays healthy I just think they have the best they had the best team in division I think they have a budget but quite a distance because I think his as the season goes time. I think you know that they've seen their competitive there -- got to have some physical problems. And you know what I mean who they got them after that it -- has been great so far. But you know one guy's not going to get it done --

They -- speaking of young pitchers Freddy dolce comes out of the bullpen for the tigers last night makes his Major League debut. So what do you think -- what's the worst you can capital my first pitch to Manny Ramirez just throw strikes throw strikes get ahead of hitter.

Guy and you know most of the time with a C a guy for the first I did take the respect they have not mandate -- guess right I idea you know he would he would guested about it I guess against a guy you know nothing about the and but I just think you know I would hit the ball I didn't think was going out -- have been -- really put a good -- not a but it didn't look like those polish ones. And so it's like what played straightaway center fielder just sold the and I thought just get going -- gonna so exactly gives you good idyllic got to know.

He didn't know neither does he ran out of the box and was running Honda we got a -- crowded you know yeah.

He didn't think it was -- Adidas I just try to use that can maybe do basis you know at least -- the first sent stop at one of the --

This is huge youkilis involved and every Red Sox run scoring rally or does that just seem like that.

It is amazing I mean he just you know he does everything right and maybe. You know we know about his defense which has been -- you know a credible but offensively he just does everything right then he'll -- bald -- of the opposite field. I don't get hit by a pitch a walk. I mean he just involved in the middle lineup that and they can move them anywhere they -- you know and it's of you know like the other day they slotted -- the three spot would Ortiz. Couldn't go any had a good game this so beat these unique in the fact that you know. These -- good player I mean he he's got one of these guys that you know. You look at like Griffey when he was younger set but the results of god in all Italian I -- day in and day out.

And and it -- look at the stats this morning 314 it seems like it should be higher than that doesn't it.

Yeah 'cause he's got a couple scared you know -- like a few days and it could be -- that but I mean now that you know and the military does pretty darn good.

Police six than runs tied with Manny and Drew. Ellsbury second.

I miss got a surprising thing you're doing is is Ortiz even though there you know the average is down. This home runs and RBI is an attack.

Now what does he actually hit in the first month it was entirely we.

Our -- off the charts right now so but he's been swinging the bat well that's that's a good sign until.

It's so we don't know -- Beckett starting game one you think in Daisuke game tour Wakefield for the well yeah.

Left Daisuke -- an uncle Louis cardinals nobody wanted exotic.

I don't know -- this amazing as John says I don't I was joking send maybe it's the translate this fall may -- still don't -- tell him to throw strikes and he's screwing -- translation -- he'll throw strikes -- you know -- around this guy.

They comic called apology double of the gets a lot of strikeouts but he gets a lot of walks it's -- this latest thing is that it's frustrating to to try to analyze his game. I mean it really has -- is like pretty okay you look at already gotten -- oh -- event -- know. Then what's -- and it you know it's like it's it's almost impossible so you know and they keep telling them you know Paulus right so you get ahead of guys put him away. But people a lot of breaking pitches you know a lot of those cut fastballs and and sometimes they don't chase -- man it's like I wanted to blow my brains.

There and any definite good first defense behind understand that there might.

Guts it's awful it's awful and yet even Okajima when he comes in -- some might forty minutes between each pitch but it spending -- up for the side and on top.

But since there's just amazing you know.

You must of enjoyed the Celtics game as a is it purest who likes pitching duels which you saw last night was the basketball equivalent.

Yeah I got traded on I couldn't believe the -- guarded -- looking at. You know some of the guys that hadn't scored row Allen hadn't scored -- had an off night LeBron James setup but so that tells me some of these players are pretty serious defendant. You know what I got to watch it if it was it was it was you know good playoff basketball I mean it's it's fun to watch when two teams that. A plan as hard as they -- plan last night and it was great to get back into that final the final quarter.

we'll talk and actually appreciate the time Jerry Remy it would doesn't -- and -- brought to you by HT NT with more bars in more places which -- the wireless network with the best global and we --
