Curt Schilling Joins the D&C Show

Good morning colonel Loria. Well my sources indicate namely -- that says you're hinting a little bit of something here on your website about your future in Major League Baseball you can expand on the.

Don't penalty gripping the proper -- that it that it. -- it clear that the middle let's not let's -- Now inaugural. Not been -- is. There. You know. More. Great move away from from playing -- the more I think I'm likely to probably not come back.

Kirk law and an an absolute joy and why telly what what factors are experiencing. In your life that have that are leading you away from base.

What there's -- one thing it is -- that in on my blogger divisions being that. I thought I might -- I don't think that I didn't think in my mister McKeon. I think the thing that I really don't answer for throwing things -- do.

Can you give me one example what you've just not miss.

A lot of baseball. The the that the baseball equipment -- don't -- amount drive or walk them down. You know walk into the bullpen -- back but just that. Then wait very. Am I I've missed that area right I want what's in the game and watch these guys you're ready it's ten minutes missed that they have that. Beyond that I don't miss much help. Don't miss. The stayed the daily mental grind will miss the you know in your immediate thing. I don't miss a lot of it in and and and enjoy it and like being normal the first by below the public and be fit you know -- normal. You know -- hit me a couple days ago we go to. -- wild well. Ever played in the in that -- don't have -- work anymore within me anyway it's weird is that spoken to cut it down in the not someone that. Can just sit around in a you know -- today. But we're trying to get something done before and --

How much of a factor is also just having time during the baseball season which she never really have before to spend with your family into other things like that.

I've I've been hurt before and -- currencies before right -- called for expenditures and so is not. I think the big test will be probably over the word on Poland's entry mister Howard however react. Actually that anything that I. I don't know that that's going to change between known in the appeal. You know. But. And that I -- the other part of as a you know military got a piece of Britain didn't get -- you know. A point three years so -- except experience a lot of -- in in. Not that specter politely wish there was -- on the on --

If you do return next season what what kind of scenario do you envision is coming in midway through the year yeah. It. That would would you ever think about pulling a Roger Clemens would that would that be part of your thought process current. -- me coming back through you know the July stretch run of such a -- are now talking about it. Now but that's been a change and you haven't felt that way previously have you.

I don't know diversity into the culture. Besides that there -- awhile ago that in my early close to come back if -- going to come -- that it's probably the American next season and most.

In the I'm sorry. Can you see yourself pitching and Red Sox uniform again.

Oh absolutely me in you know. We've that is ignited the atmosphere -- the that mole all all the guys in the most more excited. About what I've missed. Where I'd vote text messaging in all things they do talk on the you know of -- the guys in the and that that. -- pieces. That's believe Lopez to do a -- that. There's stick through Angola dimensional. --

While that I guess my question I I don't doubt you and your teammates and and that connection. But do you thank god did things and well enough or have a and it welled up between you -- you in the front office or what some touching is there between. Your health and how that was handled here the last year is that the pass -- think you you and the team would be passed that.

I don't know remain missing. That meant so much more to --

Yeah the Yankees still off realistically to change in my on the --

It'll it'll go right there there's. Again you you know it did it help you much bigger deal is because of this and we out every time they have there were -- and -- was in the that it changed.

When you visit Fenway Park last Friday carry you alluded to this in your blogs that the different sort of change in the clubhouse can you just illustrate that a little more for everybody.

What difference is everybody is different that it. It's slider there's there's no BS there's no. Stop -- is that if you there's point five guys. One -- the other one at every single might want to play every single Lleyton who want to win a World Series over everything else and that. It's a different field and then sometimes. In other about residence and president Austin and you know if it's nice to see. Those guys and -- be able to haven't. Enjoyed it will be --

and watching Jon Lester what brought him over the threshold.

Jon Leicester and John Farrell and Jason -- You know it takes expecting. There's just. A mentor peace it's only appropriate that it would -- coaches bring. You know that Jason Varitek brings to the plate the a lot of dirt ball however don't who brings in John has -- it we want that. You know he's. He made there's been I don't think you can look at this staff and said you know Juan -- pretty good number courier well well law. I think he straightened mediate I think he believes he can do Latin. You know that's going to be one of those things -- the push everybody has that would that would.

I think you one of those guys you for the Red Sox with the Red Sox it was kind of prided yourself on being a stopper of sorts when the the team was in a little bit of -- losing funk Leicester this year. Five and 11 point four when he IRA after Red Sox loss is what is it. What does it take for a pitcher be that kind of a stopper in what is it about Jon Lester that's allowed him to be that --

I IA always that was something that I always had in mind that that was something that it's kind of -- after that to a lot of people will probably start. To do it consistently and for for both of bunkers I'm -- I always. Knew what we. Not that no one knows but I always allowed between the people or have an impact on -- in -- pot where we thought -- before. I felt a little bit more pressure and make -- go and pitch well and and that was always good for. I didn't I didn't make the overdo it it didn't make me overthrow it it but it may be I would open maybe it's better and there's almost in some cases you know that the game that that two game they'll remember. Pitching or in this in this city beyond all the also the -- that there's September game in -- or against Boston Baltimore. When it struck out fourteen and we -- nothing -- in the ninth. There was September we've lost some games in in the opening game. Last year the the near no hitter not because of the near no hitter but because -- with us for a rock. Those are doing but I remember and also think that are big in China has that mentality. To be able to do I think. When he was younger last year here before. He if you got nervous and worked -- it affected him in the overthrew that he's starting to learn how to be the exact opposite now and that's witnessing.

Do you think we ever -- Lester at full strength over the last years you think this year's first you're really seeing him and everything that -- that he brings the same.

I think if there was an article is probably people think that that you know it's not about being a full strength a lot of on -- about cherry and you know there -- a lot of guys with a bit better at full strength that. Don't in the big leagues and morneau month because they're owners and tonic that the I have to go with -- the physical talent. And -- in the they've got the pass in the desire would be better nobody else that's what was him and it was him make him I think one but it it is in the intro.

What do you make of Josh Beckett and inconsistencies. --

You know -- I'm going to make an excuse foreman he's not going to. Accept that and anymore acknowledges people -- going to -- who it but I can tell you with a couple years that that. That the season started late for me. Retreat in the normal for me were always the hardest -- be consistent. Because you start out if you remember he started out in public or inning and throttle. His first start and and eat at a at a good start ran out of gas and -- on the Duke beat. And from me when I've ever done in the past I've always try to make up literally in a two game don't want. And and I never could find a groove and and I think he is it is that's what pat and so -- desire to be. Best pitcher in the game. That he can he can overdo it consultant on the bench is that the you know candidate if you remember as a big league apart. If not he could be. Greater retired now but I outplayed us. When -- October calendar turns. He's got the ball game one in the real --

This is your question number one man.

Oh no no question in October because the beautiful thing about October was. For me it did that it's almost like -- since returning -- the regular season. Nothing count nothing matters and up and and that October guy -- beat the other being in October meant that that I would now better than everybody else.

Card you can stay with the team here at through the end -- make road trips in the playoffs that goes that far all that.

I won't make road trip in the title -- I'll be around. More in the way than anything all of these guys and albeit to see them in and you know -- in in developing that do that this. --

All right it's Curt Schilling once again played a big role in the Jimmy Fund hasn't radio tell by late last week card that was a great experience on the station that I've been -- the best -- the station has ever done any station is on -- big part of it again I'm sure that was important.

Be a part of it is the thought -- argue part of community get this is different. You know you've you've mentioned that you need to yesterday he would stand as a nationwide thing and they -- million dollars and and the New England -- excellent crap out of that 48 hours. Almost five million. And that's one of the reasons why would love it here because everybody. Is is world -- has -- to -- corny but it's true that nobody cares but it would appear. And it makes a lot of fun that they brought in the -- is. At -- open environment.

charity event going on the fifth annual 100 innings of baseball spectacular -- Saturday August 30 through Sunday August 31 that's Adam's field at marymount -- Quincy all the benefits. That -- pitched for L last. And talk a little bit about that that 100 any marathon to get about three or four innings and you're in the armor what are.

You're you're the -- about that and -- the -- about. Because I was so frantically trying to get get it in the talk about that -- and -- up against what replicated -- you are.

I'll have to parents and apparently fairly handily carried barely sent the tape these verbal bouquets for.

But it's world doubted the really cool that it it they play a hundred consecutive innings in you have to kind of think that ruled that they understand. What that really mean their guys played through underneath some guys trying to play the entire way through and it's a huge fund raiser for LS. Bent then leave it to Julio by a group -- guys that took it on and then came up without their own and they agreed upon a money. An incredible amount of awareness that you need a lot of families that are affected by you media are patients. And get a chance to raise money for the local chapter been here and that's that there's a huge huge statement I appreciate that Peter and now all. They -- a couple of principal all the.

Absolutely heroic you buy you little half cup and we're on a -- you out. Did you draft and you're you're a Red Sox.

I we have not now not coming up.

What I learned -- on the you're an athlete. Be. Stanley from Matt -- safety depth. I kind hearts being here thanks a look at that that's applicants and I started. -- WE yeah.
