David Aardsma

And we've got to Red Sox reliever David Aardsma. On the board this hi David it's John rider along without letting meg well the metro west daily news here on the planet Mikey show our. We're doing well in the -- your team so far is that to a terrific start. Are you sort of somewhat surprise I know you've had. You know it's quite a roster that's Red Sox have assembled for the season much like seasons in the past but still. You guys about a slow way injuries whether. You know I'd be David Ortiz of the offense but also pitching wise -- well he still gets his two game lead -- Tampa bay in this 4629 record there.

No we knew we'd play our resources those guys hurt apparently all of -- and -- open -- third place -- spot and -- it has done a great job their herbal what's -- to their role in the play well.

David that intensive your role. It's do you prefer a why am I mean you can cities have just a middle reliever quote unquote or sixth inning guys seventh inning guy you know what what's your strongest desire.

Walla you know -- desired but he took relief pitcher old quote -- Not -- I think she's pretty. -- Culpepper but he no -- out -- checked out there. You know honestly -- accountable and destroy my back here. The sport and the IQ and a couple -- go out there or there or work like that I've got archery -- All I can get it out there.

So -- not like -- common error. Okajima tab on you you've got your mindset is a acted being here three innings into the game.

watched the very username I am down herbs such what sport and you -- generally just starters go. At least Saturday and open alleys but. -- stretching every every day forward and make sure that something as and you know and but he anything where things start. First off that that sure on but it ago. -- those who they're going to call down or an -- I don't want what it's not.

And it -- you have to be pleased with yourself so far this season you've given the team a huge boost in middle relief you know two points -- 76 ERA. There's a lot of talk before the season whether they'd be able to find a spot for your really and so far they've been one of their more dependable guys out of the bullpen.

Absolutely right oh -- spring training. I think -- a have a job. I think even though we we Cubans returned with with. Budget like -- you don't pay immediate spot I was you know was oh we there's going to be responsible. And now. You know -- you know after the adapters for trial after you know that yet Richard baker -- you know. And and after Tokyo though we know we're going to get down though he's well short guy and unfortunately I don't. And you know it -- you know we're we're like you know thankfully you know like I I -- that after the -- like okay. They're the big weight off actual or go out there and it's bad I think that -- and --

And how how would you approach heading into the season with that mindset that you know I might not be -- that not only make -- earlier competitive guy but you know. It's going to be a struggle -- This Red Sox team is really stacked pretty much you know everywhere in in including middle relief. And the way you're able to stay at a step up and compete. Going into the season would you know hey you know like you just said I don't know from they've got to be able -- make this team.

You know what I I what was it's knowledge about all -- really young you know you're used to beat -- on 26. And yeah it's another. -- go out what it's not give out Q anybody else and change it. You know where it would go on for hours are sitting down there -- currently that says -- politics. Put them there. They have ordered decisions. You know except --

David when you you've been with with the Giants and and with the White Sox organizations. Can you compare you know contrast. The difference you know in Boston -- they do things here and is supposed to other places you've been.

You know that it -- I ever been. Where no matter what happens whether good or bad and -- keep it between the guys. -- But you know why watch and they're they're not so or whatever happened. We talked about it thought about it. And it's it's it's -- may have never ever been an organization that does the -- it from the top all of in the but he everybody has actually aggregate. You know because they until they want it. And whether he -- trainer whether whether. You know Schilling -- weathered the the very top owners that everybody wants -- and everybody an opinion on what I was. All the other about it.

And and end the spotlight here in Boston I know they have fans obviously agree notes solid fan base in the Giants -- the White Sox. I'm not a lot of guys. Some guys you know flourish in this situation -- Red Sox -- a rabbit and every game's sold out -- joy in kind of that spotlight here in Boston with a fan base.

On the that's all the Giants editor art great and they're really there really based as well obviously it was a Cubs. The Cubs are everywhere away at not right it's not a nation but it. But the thought of a concert everywhere like -- then you know you're not expect. Well this spring training in other street oh. Go figure why is national aren't. And I -- city hotel -- or people clapping about how and -- and ignored it as a or shall -- today of -- here went with the pressure on her and you know you can pitch anyway. And I really trying to take our -- prove that I can this year and pitched. Success here and so -- work.

Cubs so White Sox I mean Cubs Red Sox World Series you like that right.

That would be one THE LB want a well thought well.

They what you -- You're in the bullpen and let's say you don't get in the game and then maybe -- innings and happens you certainly don't throw complete game although that's Korea. What do you guys do out there are guys in the bullpen you guys come and not be -- all -- I mean -- they sing in front nine innings out there and you know that you kind of separated from the fans unless you get on a bad move dugout he's sitting there. What do you do to keep saying.

that's right I definitely yeah you can't help but that David you know you can you can lead. -- Moss give that's the Marshall of this leads have been did. It's just the silliest knowledge which is well one thing -- guys as the silliest and this is Jimenez family audience league policy and do they show the regular host that sitting here this showed its pretty aren't times but I'm you have to keep in mind occupied Europe be just talk like two guys -- and viral.

The first the first or any doubt that I. You know a starter or emotional say -- Beckett got their it would in normal out about evidently -- I would think that verse five and were where. Now we're at it I hurt the Orioles yes you know the second inning we're always which. Or when I first and -- what can you sort of -- the first pick up and then you know at their worst it and talked harder workers were talking happen. -- you know or watch it or not. Oh I'd I'd rather like oh god what in what the.

It's every operating guys right -- it and I'd. And yep the -- on I mean look at the women I mean in on the summit row. That never happens.

Aptly gates that would ever possibly you're looking any girl.

Why are you engaged in looking at the girls are just engaged.

Well well -- it back.

All right all right so any kind of trouble right -- mean -- gets in trouble while he is now last series which read David what adjustments heading into the season I know he had a solid season comes back 2006. Struggle a little bit with the White Sox you do anything this offseason or heading into the season different.

A specific triggered -- Well and we've worked our butt off worked worked now. I said you know what -- started out are -- Ali fight like what. -- Let's not -- I'm not going to let but not going to take it doubtful I I -- two weeks and guys out. And fortunately ravaged. But it's not on the a couple of part of making what the wrote about. And whether -- better for the rest here and now really are. Where are and whether it's special worked out.

David you guys just come off the road trip so you may not know this but the the Red Sox are going to on at the Celtics tomorrow night if you before the game. Before if you could only shake one Celtics hand tomorrow night who would it be.

Not not on the county on the team won the title the other night you know all at least you know what I know -- aren't aren't.

On this you know 'cause this this game is going to be at Fenway tomorrow night for the game. If there's one guy you'd you'd really like I like to -- yeah.

I would bet you'll Garnett -- sixty's I mean I likened -- that site is unpalatable wire and I think it's based in Reggie tag champs. Come to expect and bring I think you know and you know -- that they're really. You know kind of together I've ever played ever and but it's --

What you're going to get that chance tomorrow night. -- Lastly David the staff here I think would kill me if I didn't bring this up in them I'm sure that you're not aware of this but. Our host and fill it in tonight our our typical host Mike Adams. You're you're like a big deal on the show and I'm sure you don't you don't realize that well it all started basically. When you got to the team when they first signed June he was like how do you pronounce this guy's guy's name right. So we're going over and I was like -- I'm on the show them like it's Aardsma. And -- Cyclone of fascinated by the spelling of this last name the double play. He was like I'll do it impersonation so every time you come into the game it's a big deal on the show so he's like now pitching David.

All Aardsma because of the double play. -- and we even have a sound if they weren't going to.

When it comes up if you wanted to -- and David. But at the same time that's on there he's going on -- person and he's going to yards. So that's the -- get a lot of publicity here on this show it good publicity.
