Curt Schilling 7/31

For Jason Bay or whoever plays left field our conversational Curt Schilling is brought to you by DC you'd digital federal credit union bank in the DC away go to DC you dot -- good morning Kurt. Is how much for number 38 -- Jason day is number 38 well well he. Close the deal here on --

it's tablets can be turn around in.

We'll think it donation to curt yeah -- would try to make this happen.

Yes I mean offensive -- point and wore something now. Is it time for a minute ago. I think the only guy in the big move Theriot has said no -- did.

Yet now I think this is about water to hold out any island or I've.

Become probably. Pro with the consensus. It's very obvious. Now from anything. You fear that beer. And -- time that. Peace equation you know problem in. You know not trading him leaving him here is is a problem because. You know people vote -- Utica.

He said he said they don't the Red Sox don't deserve a player like me. Is that an insult to play like you.

Yeah -- out of -- RFID. Was here for the end of both Pedro and Nomar situation I'm not sure others in the girl's there. -- Our voice popular though you're existing ones with the expanded. A lot of courtesy and it's like. In. -- terrorism manager. Yeah well like everybody else -- went that extra mile for Manny. Counts it's this one NC. That's not to recognize -- that happens.

did you or an -- teammates understand the logic of Manny is actions here why he's doing a -- we understand that. The greater idea for -- used to not have somebody picabo options we can get a four year 809000 million dollar contracts of that parts understandable like guest. But in terms of it his methods and trying to shooters went down to make it happen this way.

But just. I think our part for me was that there's the real in north train wreck. So quick so fast softly and mean. You have you have Buddha zen master that spring training reading in you know like is good. You know don't worry be happy. And I it is looked like -- offseason. Physically worked as well problems who wants to play longer. Time ago like -- excited you know. -- chances bisons and you know we had a conversation. Though. All the -- back in talking about. You know what he should do in how things for the repellent. It's -- it's really not a reason. You know from a business standpoint that the responsibility. And now and they've been really went well with Barrett. You know giving your -- And the contract situations. You know why would they not just -- wait -- out things played out. You know it was like you know exciting I think there is. Maybe there's some some feeling as part that if he'd do read it less winner and he came out I had a monster. First couple months that that they've -- your ex Warriors but it's done. And it's it felt like gave -- 12 realize that was our option. Mistress went districts are well.

Other reduced sentence that I read the paper this morning I would be a tendency if you believe this is true or not. The recent distractions that Ramirez has caused have hurt the Red Sox club's focus which likely has led to the sloppiness. You -- that.

Sloppiness I don't know. Affect the focus absolutely. Absolutely this is not. This is one of those things trade deadline time it's always kind of weird time for but he no matter what team you play or that. You know in this this. A lot of times -- figure from a bit but I always. What what things are bought Albanian. The fact that David walker was in the back. And not with the rest of the guys ended up being it lifting it don't work because media wasn't cooperating in you know there was stopped -- Orbit it seems to be it -- needed that he's moved out into the clubhouse now. To try and picture -- he gets his -- as a broadcaster that that. There's some kids. Yeah thoughts on that it's it's just I would absolutely agree that affected this team of course and -- There have been around when it did before. In -- six. You know these these few teammates and it just makes it hard when when every question. You know -- struggling middle want to fourteen and Greg your ass off at the plate and you know every question is about something that. -- no control over. And you know it. But it could be. You've taken the field with a guy who does or play with it doesn't want to be there doesn't want to. You know obviously effort wise is just not fair. And that's that's disheartening and disappointing.

of 24 guys sat back watched and allow Manny to do this or behind closed doors to somebody grab this -- by the scrap the neck by the air literally or figuratively and said this crap can't continue you're affecting all of us what we're trying to accomplish here are.

And you don't actually I don't know being. I don't know really -- chance that eight but I know there's you know -- had might our moments. And that was you know both. Smiled upon and frowned upon and they happen at different times. You know there's. It just to prep amateur I think that there have been a perfect slowest part of the club has struggled enough that this they're -- themselves.

If I can't imagine such a group of highly competitive individuals whether it's you know. Youkilis Pedroia or Mike Lowell or Jason Varitek just sitting back and passively. Allowing the ship to take on water and understanding where the hole is and why the waters pulling pouring in and not doing anything about the.

Saves you know there there's precedence for for -- mean I love them that I'd get it right right toward that's what Pedro but but I watched cricket trophy for a year. You know -- goes -- And do whatever you please and and from the scheduled standpoint and and to a point penal. All star break at home -- and know whatever that -- mean. You know visit this is -- the first time situations come up like there's so many. I mean you know there have been questions in the past about things in. You know so it's it's. It's. It's I know you don't know -- brought -- closer Pedroia at bank of New York Post very. Is that person. Like all the idea that will be. Jason may yet up but it bit of a lot of guys that are. Too addicted to beat that person in the position to do that.

He knew imagine a better place for many to play than Boston. The way the -- to -- on the way ownership as the manager supported him always T mean the quality of play him in the talent on the team you're contending every year. It just seems like a perfect place for.

I mean it really is maybe if when he think about. Their history and think about. Boone. The kid gloves that he spent. The -- it and he's always come out the hero. And he he's got a chance this is because he doesn't have a shorter contract. Means that's misses it and you know. The beat. It is a bit fit really and and you know that's his prerogative. But it but you know it's a that's that's -- in the.

I know Europe huge Scott sports fan but do you place any blame on him as he is -- one. Who I don't think you know how to deal with these ideas and -- said.

Arnold I've battled over a minute that I I I think -- solely as a piece of us because that means. -- stance makes zero dollars. If the Red Sox -- make option and it appears and maybe not ten years from retirement. He's maybe four obviously that's where he's gotten. So you know the Scott -- pointed to you're different and -- built right now you know. -- of -- day at all on the player because you know it's maybe. An adult did you know I. Can't problems out hasn't had some some -- read his comments here -- just has no ability to answer questions. Sort tactful Ian and straightforward. To -- paragraph way to say. You know nineteen syllable words that. You know integral --

Baker did many lose a few some or a lot of his teammates support with a Jack McCormick incidents.

Well. I I'm not. I don't know how much support. Really there I mean. You're talking about a very different -- it looked so many is. As we don't know joke but almost felt the coordinators ever played. But I'm -- it goes beyond that furloughed but of course Bob Matsui person I guess for myself I -- I hope the guy can hit. And and hit like nobody else ever -- I don't know that there are a lot of guys. You know of that are I mean he has his moments in. When you it's been talked to many walks way to go while the respect I mean just took its got a soft part of aren't that. I never invest a whole lot there when -- and it'll -- issues today of that. Times that I had questions in. Problems. I talk -- many -- and and we have our Robinson and you know there's a couple part of what I've. While I was going to run it and was told not to and I don't know about that losing team I don't think there's a lot of tested there.

Others other some. -- quirky. Teammates who you're just right often they go over there and do their thing and others who are in the a distraction or disruption. And if so what category do many many generally fallen.

All think about going to war. I mean it was a -- as quirky as they came. But he was he he gave everything -- Every time he had the ball to the ball every single day. You never question his effort ever questioned his partner questioning of the desire to go off. I mean. Era what you meant it there's -- here or complain of people there just different and and you know. But. You know I'd just I've always wondered how. We came to be okay. -- they just didn't not going to play or. -- that that was okay and we've come a long way -- Especially in the city. You know as best as devoted and has. As much as the Red Sox need to people the fact that you could have. But Dustin Pedroia. You know -- in -- protect someone who. It would bleed and and and literally you know. Players last buying Brett -- has to make it out or getting into what a game and so you have selective service spectrum. From a commitment standpoint of -- players -- the uniform loved the fans. And then and believe in Red Sox and -- what it means what it to be part of system and been you know guys who can. --

Like like not playing hard on the on the ground ball to to break up a no hitter for example.

Barbie but that's the meat markets it's not like deep pocket I left the fact that. You know people like my -- I can't believe that you know on this night he didn't like that night was any different Baylor and a.

Also our policy your highest paid your your most famous guy -- hall of Famer it's not like you mentioned -- to buy our season. You know bullpen spare part guy today. If he committed to seems like could be a bigger deal. When you have your biggest star being your biggest dog.

Well it's it's. I don't I don't know but. I don't know I don't know it's just it's stunning to me that that it's just was okay. I guess in the paper. For things to go away they went and in you know it's it's going to be fought people watch all the people jump that -- many does -- creative in. You know things happen company pupil in the new year model will work and say you know UK new players are idiots you let him be like this for so long and -- you know the immediate dividends. For the most part every bit of regret what field.

I know you're not big on team meetings but there's going to be one tomorrow before. The game and I guess this doesn't require much. Reading between the lines when Terry said last night after the game will sit out Friday it's a team and try to make sure that we played this game a certain way.

Yeah I mean. Listen. I've thought it was telling the other night when in. So what I am assuming Indy he rectify a wrong so amassed about -- on the first. And event but -- afterward something like on a lot. I mean think about. That that's that's someone's saying we picked by the skate past -- double line and Bears -- have a lot. I did it again there's just things that covered duplicate go. And and we just move on and you know and why it was why is that. Like the breaking point for people in a -- after all the stuff in the all the years why is that. Like the breaking point but something you really surprised by.

Well we will use you'd be surprised at 4 o'clock today if he's not dealt.

I don't know I -- I think. You know part of it there's no -- some people we want to see somebody not do what they want.

But it's true in the end in the and current he's going to win this'll showdown if what if what he wants is to be free agent next year for you -- He's going to win.

Or maybe it's going to be afraid of them -- what. -- here mean it doesn't matter who rule well where you play.

What this is so and so he's going to be a -- and he's going to get a four year deal to do all of.

I'm not sure that that well yeah maybe maybe I don't know. On. Overall. I'm very I certainly wouldn't be. Sitting back any you know it from an act of 3800 words rattled up it is it is but it had its. It's unfortunate someone who's going to be considered one of the greatest hitters ever live. It's gonna just be one record as a --

I know this requires some speculation on your part but would you be surprised at the following words work uttered by Terry to. Theo or anybody above him can do this anymore like I can't do this anymore now you've got to get this guy out here.

Out there doesn't -- that in them no no no stereo managed because Terry knows that. That there's potentially 4 o'clock time line that that sees nothing change and and interior is not -- you know anything about it you know -- so they'll figure out how to manage whatever yes management.

Q do you feel bad forum.

Yes -- about -- about -- all of that. Ought to go through a lot of a lot of players. And take. 84 and get abused or -- and have it idiot like Shaughnessy call in the past -- you know win and disparity does whatever he can do -- pictures. Players are investors in the win. But indeed he's been in view of things that. The Patriots opponent out about Terry. I -- need because what I saw. You don't do for them is the same way vetoed it if many -- as anything other than. You know he's spent his government and -- four and you know. Anything other event what Tibet for this guy. Sold many times I'd be proactive.

But doesn't -- view and a part of your teammates wished just at just one time. Terry would do what I guess with Jimy Williams did to Pedro instead -- late you're hot start in the night's game got go home we are done for the day.

I'm not so sure you smoke and yet I would tell you did something to those that affected the defenses that are ready. With -- culture. There. You know you guys that nobody visits -- he's he's already. That a couple times where I think he said you know that's enough. Erratic early on he'd give it a couple times in was called on the carpet by other people for a and and finally people are big understood read below him in is --

You think there's something wrong with Josh Beckett curt.

you don't let listen its its -- he'd have a couple he heats nine and six I think. Two periods -- two before you went if you if you had gotten if you did pitch on the right day. You know sometimes right that's what it -- but -- baker excuse form that it we will buy into but anytime you don't start this season out. In the rotation. Things are just odd and has some excuse just happens. He could very easily have 1213 fourteen where he is Russ I was close games and I have. Two or three times in the season now and you know if it happened that they did you know. I know people like here but sometimes get a team is better that you.

Doesn't not backing up home surely that -- focus was a little.

Yeah is that his frustration. That's frustrating is that the last thing in the world -- Beckett. You know would do is not played -- game right fundamentally. He's just if you know -- have been there to know a lot of field. It is -- out they're on what the hell's going.

I'd be entrusted your two cents worth on the love affair that is Joba Chamberlain Kevin Youkilis and ultimately how that thing get up work itself up between those two kids.

Hopefully with which you hit a line drive you know Charlie Brown. Knock -- held up well obviously he's obviously. You know. He's missed a couple months in -- I think he's intentionally missed a couple times somewhere and their bit. You know that's that's take them. You know quote unquote in the old -- Vick settled a bit now we're not in the old days -- some new game and so. I'm like -- From a stuff standpoint metallic -- in the -- it is going to be a special. That's crazy -- it's not it's not the way you played a game and island and you know. Did the hard. Things over their -- we've got some guys can throw 97 as well -- has understand yeah yeah and and not just that but we've got a couple Perez with the red passed through that. You know so you -- literally close your eyes and baker and hit -- fifty million dollar player and -- lineup.

It's true now. Oh sure you were heartbroken that they drilled a rod in retaliation.

But yeah -- you know I'm not released I don't know -- again if it's funny if you look at. The numbers just seemed like we could -- guys that Bears. In the last 6567. Years that they have a Morris.

That's his Pedro. -- skewed the numbers. That. -- so Jason Baker had a number do you know anything about a do you like them.

I've I've always will be -- I did not realize I -- 25 or six he got a little bit late start but he's been a monster guy can pop and the -- one like a semi average year but it. You know if the open finally to pull that off while -- that's open well.

We'll see he's -- five this year 66 to she's -- here seven -- sure when it's appropriate numbered -- less for 383838000. What are they would.

Would Olympic fight figures and it. Yeah got a point there.

And grant was -- and -- that figures yeah yeah. 30000 we we can broker this deal like this happen it's. Our current thanks for the -- appreciate -- our conversation with a Curt Schilling brought you by DC -- digital federal credit union for banking. The DC away go to DC -- not for the -- arch on his two in the pan mass challenge the more for drafting one -- answer the Provincetown.
