The Remdog

But every report is brought to you by Lexus of Watertown and what's more impressive than Alexis. Well that would be the customer satisfaction that you receive from general manager Billy -- And the folks Lexus of Watertown who will treat you -- your Lexus. With a superstar treatment that Rem dog and his vehicle receive every single time good morning Rem dog how Loria. I are doing fine doing good I guess this is going to be an interesting second half of the season. With these rays who aren't going away pretty impressive performances by the state.

has been this is totally different atmosphere they've -- you know obviously good very good pitching. Their bullpen has been good I'd like when Loria look but -- that as a rookie is it looked like that are out 56 isn't ready. I mean they're good village that is a question about that. The only -- I wonder. As does he get people into the season you know will be done -- be able hold up my guess is yes he has you know yet to be the answer that. But we'll have to wait -- goddesses that they've got. And they really good. And notices you know you about -- via walk in the -- not more.

You know the people who say -- they're little they're still the rays at some point they're gonna -- they're going to go away but the people who generally quote the following expression which I never really understood exactly what it means they don't know how to win yet do you think that in any way applies Rem dog what does that exactly mean when you see a young team. Doesn't know how to win yet I mean they won the first after the season more than anybody else.

Gotten the poodle book edited it out you played as at a baseball for a month then why did you know that that the the story they've done as perhaps these. And you know they've -- the last couple of guys that know how to win. You know -- what they've done here of the witch's night that I don't these kids who have been you know brought up got a break out the players Upton crop -- Now they've -- I had been mixed in guys like -- White even you know they've been out late major roles but the fact is that its stable of guys -- clubhouse. And and then I don't know what deputies it is not let him get rattled with nothing on batted in the culture of you know what happened down here in you consider that it's obvious that the player with tons of confidence right now. When you can throw five guys out there like they you know the role like that beat all the -- point six his -- I mean that only be good now they're going to be people are.

You said Monday night after the game he said they got a great pitching staff and you don't throw that word around often and I said well. Is is this team. Has all those essentials that allow you stick around till September would -- that don't you think it now would be surprised if they weren't involved in a pennant race in mid September.

Yeah that would surprise the only thing active in. If that's going to keep them from the end you know all right but why you know principles of concern because he's -- you know -- verdict yet. Like -- but opposite and it. If they if they can't keep him healthy -- that's -- a -- on the ball -- and you know quote it is not a probability of away you know the young guys. The ecstatic pitches and it doesn't feel I mean it really like Kazmir he's the undoubtedly been around now or five years. And you look -- up left and as in my opinion in baseball so. You know they've got a lot of weapons here in the starting rotation god there I had no idea that he was that I mean you know we saw a couple of times so with Minnesota. But that stood out that was impressive but every last night it's evolved or 95 that's all and but that's been doing it in.

nothing to me captures the essence of the team you know I would but watching him debts and in the dugout to the music. This can hang out and swing into the music before the game it's. There's your picture of carefree you know nothing to lose just youthful exuberance.

Yeah you know I said but the I thought that when they came in the first time and they swept I kind of felt that I'm you know they believe in themselves you know what we have Eric about it hear about it but it did you rugby not a world. -- That is that the believe -- and and they -- and badly that they believe it but -- out the back it up. So you know I don't I got a few big statements being you know I don't know whether that with albeit while I have in the White beard.

What about guys let's sabathia is in the Ken Griffey junior is will they be at the top of the list is. As as buyers as the deadline approaches at the end of the month.

Well with doors civilians have an oh I mean they could use -- right fielder. You know as Bobby that we it's like on the field right now as of right field growth you've got all run out of but they could use somebody out there. I don't I don't opinion of the body it's I don't think they'd they'd be interested to -- sabathia. You know what happened -- with the animal kind of money you know that they got a pretty good signal that it was a pretty low payrolls so. I don't know I just an and then Everton goes so well or. I I think they're going to be have to be very careful on what kind of move it may not this group picked up. So you know you might think you're getting somebody better by. You know it may not be the right mix this club so I don't know why is it is that but the last couple bite them in the atmosphere is that like a playoff atmosphere. Is the first sub we've ever been down here we have you know you're outnumbered then they probably get raped and and now and it got to find it is really at this site is the you know other teams in the division improving and the Orioles and improve these guys. -- And in -- right you know right now they're they're -- portion of the Red Sox have pushed -- the last game in the second place.

Jerry now that -- J. D. Drew is cooled off a little bit the absence from Ortiz in the lineup is being felt more noticeably Manny. A bad 185 I think in his last sixteen games at tech had the worst -- of his career 122. I assume you think that Manny and I heard you analyze a little -- we think might be wrong with the hole with a swing right now. Is is eventually going to work himself out of the probably sooner rather than later get a save face that tech is going to get together at some point.

Others is losses I've -- in you know he's right now and so it is going to take it felt that. You know this has beaten down and you -- I had. -- to use the plate it was like guessing wrong and every single -- means that almost swings on breaking balls. You know what changed is that -- it was working. -- and then sometimes -- wood and big it is quick whip but. I mean just as bad as I've ever seen -- offensively and you know is is he died in the -- not that you know that's the case. I eventually open around forum but the right now I would. I would be at all surprised on the happened but you know he used Bobby would read or days and -- right now. Just to clear his mind yeah it is went back together. You know as far as. It goes you know I I really believe that in game like that it would really -- we've faced average pitching a lot of open up a lot of runs. But what you faced good pitching like it's 58 you -- noticeable difference on the top as you know have been in the in the yeah grease spot and it's become very obviously the last couple I'd say very good that.

Based on what you just said about -- may be needing more than a day or two off several days off the field decision to use him as a pinch hitter first lead in the game at the end surprise you on a day that he was given off.

I -- about that he'd be because you know. -- like that we have and it also handles left and yeah. And when he came you know he's I was surprised he has pulled back and -- that put up now at a point of view is. You know okay this is the you know it's that quick right now he gets the base we've got some runs and you know they'll go about it -- about that worked out that way. And I was like a fullback because you know -- have been in a long time and left it has not intimidated and so you know probably wasted what it will look like -- put up with guys that by now that the Manning yeah.

What does that is that putting it and when you think about Barrett take this. It's the manager's job isn't it to try to help them out of this funk that didn't help a lot last that your.

About it of that I think that they can -- opposite really in it's like I would guys but what. In all they've they've they've by the what the situation where you know if you get it Ares got out of it good about himself. You know you -- Beckett. -- you know I've only guessing that that's what was that the last night but but he went revealed a but with a better the other way.

You'll setting aside whether it was helping or hurting -- take the fact of the matter is -- statistically Tito shows his worst hitter average wise over his best hitter average wise.

Well you know -- as the what I try to make and then he you know I don't -- left he left he had me okay -- a lot of careers been. You know and they give a lot of -- that it -- that very well. So it's you know he's the -- been there in in in that situation you'd think he liked about it but there. And you know -- if they played matchup but it didn't work so you know. I don't know it's. I've never even got very well at guys but I mean is that the use it is -- people want that.

do you when you mentioned three or four days off is there any precedent for that did you do you know anything about.

Now I don't think about it -- what I would build because he's just look I've noticed I've been sick but besides that besides. And I I honestly think of the last that he was that he -- you know as -- on what I had. And you know maybe that has some of the order I don't know you know -- he or I think you know last yeah he's just put what down to. Now I don't I don't know that of course going to do it probably won't I don't you know I don't know what happened I would consider. Just by the you know the way he looks is action is you know the way he's like in the back you know it may not be the worst thing.

The -- always settle last night it sounds like you think Manny situation is just a little. Adjustment at the plate something similar to fix it.

What about all fired right now up in other cities like which is usually he lays off those that is not way off from that is not make contact. And is it better than that now but of the week. So you know what with the it's not getting you don't have what he's in the air. We have fourth spot that that the vanity all is so you know again when you face it it's elective facing you know that anecdote that. And you know I mean any such a good hitter he's back out of it I don't know when that's going to be is is the guy has spent the night not had been expected and maybe it'll be over the weekend in the dark but -- you know it just seems to me lately that -- a lot of hype that's all that it tasted. And you know it I've that's all -- by any pluses bodies in certain. Anybody who follow the law in and it seems like when he gets it is -- he is folic populist that a private somewhere like you probably.

Hey Jerry after the you -- Manny dust -- for the dugout less than a month ago of many of the baseball lifers pass stuff happens it just happening get caught on tape. Happens all the time it's settled internally you know he's been a 162 games together bubble -- Does that same sort of mentality applied to a 36 year old superstar -- a 66 year old club employee of the floor.

That it is usable and you know like there's there's a lot of luck or on the and the office. Number of times I don't vote is five involved I don't I have no idea of what is it that that's necessary Alison what was -- back the one -- the -- that the thing that that kind of step out Lott yeah that does not have -- and it surprises me you know because. I've ever seen this you know either one of those situations that is. Is -- he's come he's does Gagne goes Ohman nobody goes round. All of a sudden you have this or not now you know it would pressure with the -- I don't know. But that was totally -- or. I think they did their best you know it would resident what is we got suspended -- you know I don't think so. -- if Bynum yep probably do that but I'd you know like you know they have been --

My guess is that Jack from -- tell Lamotte in their it is universally liked admired by the players and and I'm wondering if Terry finds himself and difficult position where he'd like to do something that sends a message to probably the players for the people in the organization that would -- and tolerate this kind of stuff and -- does suspend -- come down hard on him publically that there's a chance that that many checks out.

But he got it right in the -- you don't know is going to do yeah.

You know Manny pretty well Jerry did well -- right I guess it's all relative that you you have a relationship. Do you think he wants them to pick up the that the option of one more year twenty million or do you think he's confident that we scored bourses help. He could go on the free agent market and it like a five year deal.

Well I have no idea what Scott Boras column but beaten up by my personal feeling is yet he wants to stay. And I I don't doubt that at all you know he's made a lot of comments about it but the but haven't number I -- ability vote all the same. All but right heal up like that so it ought to just botanists say that well at the prospect but you know I I really do think he wants they had now. The other side of that. If -- let this keep happening like it has happened you know these couple of incidents. That's it you know criticize in the newspapers is presented -- He made the ultimate -- I'll I'll go out there are also where I'll. The question is where where you know is probably going to be his next move he goes somewhere -- be a BA. And they got a it is when he million dollars I don't think so. You know what that he would make that -- so you know it is that we gotta pay one million for a guy who's going to probably be at the age more than not. Remainder of his wrist so there's a lot of things they're going to take in the consideration but. You know at this point I don't see I have no indication that he wants believe.

It would it would almost all the ballclub Ortiz hurt many struggling many creating whatever kind of havoc he's -- in the in in the clubhouse under the radar of all this is is the play ball offensively and defensively Julio Lugo at short. How much. That you can tell Jerry is there a concern in the organization that this nine million dollar guy just isn't getting it done.

All -- that is the concern you know and they don't have -- is that the -- so it means it was a big contract. And the results have not been there. And you know I would be at all surprised you look at or Cora. Couple days a week you know it but -- vote goes you know it in the opposite. Is shortstop but yeah you have to be concerned about baton you know I would be at all surprised. Again this season that they you know -- Upgrade -- of that position going to be do. That will cut back that statement that it has really done right much so. You know it's it's a touchy subject is a question about that and you know what what are they going to do they've got to you know that got a quiet. And and live with what you get in the hole you know hopefully find the at a couple level of this defensively doesn't -- There's no question game with a beat that.

Jury watch every pitch of every game and and I tried to but I can't recall the last time I saw Lugo. Catch a batted ball up the middle at second base or even just a little bit on the second base a second base side of the second base bag. His his range or lack of range of left -- I think is pretty amazing is that not.

but it was right as of but yeah out he says he's pretty it would because it was right in L. Sometimes what -- can make an error as you know he's been oh well defensively. It -- the toughest places that would he plays like about it and it is that when he goes back it would have argued though you exude oh yeah. And Andy you know -- seem to be fine you know and and expect the most routine plays were at that time -- suspect about the pros when he has problems so. The -- I would agree -- it would you know watch them that I I think it -- right that it was right to left but that's not a common. Oh a lot of guys in lot of guys out about it on one way to the other is seen as they -- quite the lap.

Hey so what time in the middle of night to the Kolb -- stop ringing in your ears like --

It really doesn't loud it badly about it the -- they've got ought at a crack or I'd like between innings. Guys elements Ramon and he gave people and it but you know what. But I am I mean it's been you know -- alongside abusive it's not an abundance stadium finally. You know it's -- his visit rise to about here. And it's you know it's I think it's proven now that you know put a winning product out there you don't go let other on that goes on whether not -- And they have so you know what it's not only just for the Red Sox I guess Chicago was as if they had great crowd. Thought that -- if Palestine in the believe that you know. You know they've got a good club they got -- the product who watch it up a lot of before I really have because -- went lobby isn't bad baseball probably as well. And -- wanted you know if they played well what they'd draw while they are so bad habit that baseball.
