Curt Schilling

Welcome back Dennis and Callahan Curt Schilling -- conversation brought to you by DC -- digital federal credit union. The banking the DC UA good DC Utah or good morning colonel Mario okay except just. Same thing that's -- right now -- off. -- you make your request Mika marker tell what the play. He has no idea -- is the quest to ask in this week. You -- answer one of the other do the Patriots without Tom Brady go six and ten or ten and six. -- five and eleven or 115. -- And -- what what what makes you so confident we've never seen that castle before and real game.

Well I don't care if you -- and noble -- You know and United. I left Pope refused to listen to the experts talk about you know castle in that you really think that the guys. It's obvious that everybody claims in the Vietnamese just a rocket because respect quarterback. I mean given that a deep into the their offense is. I gotta believe the second he felt like Q didn't have a capable backup keep warrior offense he would go -- got somebody. You know if it built Baltic trust Matt Cassel. And out you're not.

It Curtis somebody you can relate what's Tom Brady's thought process starting with the scream at the point of impact. To the realization that are setting in day by day now.

I don't know there's. I hope -- I would imagine taking this long in the real -- he's so well I'm probably. Pumped up opal city trying to do what he went down yeah when he set up -- went down that. This season was over. Was those one of those couldn't watch it. Place from -- If you think about it from me from an athlete perspective we think about the fact this guy is spent how many months but of that and -- season. Working its way back in the shape in getting ready for the season in you know sixteen plated two with a two over -- that. That's our that's stuff for useful for for.

Is there even in this violent game of football do you estimate a a surprise factor here conceived -- 127 her and it got up every single time.

Serbs Bolivia that they. That's part of his legacy is important is so. What he brings to the table that toughness and you know children's games probably. You know included so well last year and maybe use to assert that the that the couple watched open oil well.

With Clinton when I understand football and baseball or it's apples and dump trucks but but you know when a key member of a team goes down. The teammates all say the same thing we're all going to have to do more step -- all those cliches but but in their hearts of parts. There there're some negative emotions to deal with when you lose a key member now.

Well sure there are busy you know would the difference is that you know they know. From experience I think I was. Battle well that like you guys talk about -- at all a time clippings to do when. You know they've they've all got jobs doing in. It does come down from me comes up to some some people being better than they were yesterday. There's some guys are going to step up but -- better than that or you know Maroney in in them or us in the in the August to back alive in. That offense is going to have to build a better that was last week cancel all it is still so that -- little -- and hopefully give -- also.

But doesn't that thought process of that idea -- indicate that they were trying their hardest when Brady was the quarterback.

Now not just it is meat -- it's it while I can see where you. Might feel our way back. In -- I just feel like -- There's there's there's there's certain place you have to go sometimes when -- LB take all the time. And then you know it's so -- the end you know beat basic -- to -- mr. bolt came to this year on its -- stopped the topic. There again I don't. Maybe I trust effective -- the coach -- been good -- you have to put together a team of people that --

Do you do you understand the almost universal joy outside of New England not for not for Tom -- But for the fact that suddenly their teams -- viable as a Patriot and --

No I didn't know that we've we've since bill all of six or seven years going on now there's people like -- anymore. And then. So everybody I mean -- there's. Beat euphoria in New York is is probable now maybe Yankees suck this year and in their bitter in Madden and they're -- excuse over that now. Now now they got. They got -- of the -- New York excited and and -- it's unfortunate but that's what happens when you Linda all the problems all the book you'll try to drag them.

I got news secret they never liked you.

Okay let's -- let's you know. That's okay because I was I was -- grown setter Wendy they're quote unquote dynasty ended so somebody with a.

Did you ever get cheered -- it hurt to hear cheers from like the there's of derision from opposing fans. It is -- you point that used to grunt work is palpable the the shot and Freud the joy. They're taking in other markets particularly in New York over the is devastating injury.

I want -- to be as bitter and Madden -- there are reports inside an album of epic fifth. You know they're the South Park would be when they beat Jets next week and in the you know -- they're --

As the hardest thing about rehabbing staying in shape not getting completely out of shape. As you rehab the injury.

It auto body type I don't I would imagine it'll be different for Tom and and I think he'll probably going to be a guerrilla team quite -- this year. Just because of his import -- I don't know I just -- they've given the relationship between starter and backup. Did that -- lose so I -- also have as much trouble to deepen. His migrate and said everything don't you know -- more.

Not not downplaying. You're injury and what you're going through in your rehab is that safe to assume that. Is will be more pain in the ass in terms of mobility and getting around all you're isolated -- you can deal with -- you can walk and get the pardon.

Yeah I can't throughout my allowance that's -- that's figure you know it's it's it's twelve months. Well shift of work but he's been such good shape right now he's got a huge -- headstart on on get back in. You know that it two very I don't -- countries have -- that and indeed the ACL. The reconstruction is it is a big and you know but again part of the you'd be better to have going in to public that we here negotiate if you -- when you have I would imagine given everything and nobody them. -- heard about them will be. Well ahead of schedule. Very quickly.

And we ask this of and you know and askew this year last week the cy young Award winner on your team you can pick one pitcher. Daisuke Papelbon -- Lester.

I I don't push a plus a couple while it I think Johnny you know I think Jon Lester just for the simple fact that. Just go down and not not being able to consist would be in quotations here is penetrated the -- publication when he stepped in. You know and in.

What's he do differently is a sudden you just thrown into it that control.

Place he's commitment as possible both sides of the plate instead of its he's he didn't help -- Don't realize hope they give the kid he is pleased that in Mexico get healthier and stronger. And they can start with a no hitter I think he finally had some of that year profits that he didn't have before it's kind of steamrolled.

Speaking of confidence and on the other so the -- lack thereof are the rays and for lack of better term feeling it in September --

Yeah have a little taken away year vacant. You know I mean I I hear we're talking about they've never been there before that's that's not a bad thing in a lot of cases depending and Jamaica new people. Mean guys like Eric Hinske in person almost it's been there and I'm sure that. A tradition and guys that is reasonable -- that but overall I think it's it's. You know they're just they're there weren't out long season and -- some big injuries and they and that that changed at one diplomatically. But. It's our game and in their own through the open rough right now and you know. Is it seems like every year that we've done well we've really been able to kind of put together really -- that can -- that's simply put there weren't in the over.

Well both teams are playoff bound we've we've pretty much know that -- when you look ahead when you've projected and it -- just think these two teams. Do you look first and foremost three start is that if any post season rotation would include. Three starters in the solid that the Red Sox looked pretty good right now do well.

You know what I I think that start in in. Arlington last week was was the only team that matter for me. Because again the bundled into October. And I got every pitcher in the us on the pile that I can pick one. That scuba gear it seemed a lock win game one expected. And I help you Beckett and in the fact anyone out there and did what he did the other day. Tells me that he understands what needs to do to get to the end of the season and get it right and B it and in the mode that he's that they offer on command his fastball and work in. Being very aggressive. That's he's helping any -- stood in -- that's the case then. You know I don't. I'd have a hard time bet against Beckett Lester won't do.

Won his first place matter.

Well there a -- people on the all. I mean these two teams -- Yeah I've always felt that wasn't became you put Johnson in that -- in October and you know what you do your commitment through two pitchers one game Venus missing it is. It's different. It's different -- in for us and -- people as well.

new republic team tourist season Horry September stretch. Where everything the general manager did by a large but turned out aces I mean whether it's bay or kotsay or bird. A keeping Coco losing many trusting in -- I guess stubble Bledel.

Well October wolf or we -- okay yeah the number I think we've development and -- Richard -- in the league has been okay. Roberts. Not as many moves that is now. -- But it's testament to the to the to the body of work that they've all that the entire development team as. You know to have as many young guys not not -- you know it's it's -- its fans something to say. We consider opening day last year in all the way through today comedy mightily Boston Red Sox drafted player looked the big league club and now. I would argue. You know it would probably have he has many if not more people real big league. I talk about impact players to in the in the what I think is most competitive division in baseball. If that's even more impressive now you you make some moves -- to trade him make make acquisitions of Fidelity's and they. And they knew you you addition by subtraction you lose -- Manny Ramirez you know. So all about the make up its side the in the clubhouse was well and so. You know but you know he he's always had the -- figure on the also hope that that stuff and stupid but yeah.

Back to first place other home field does playing. Anaheim as opposed to Chicago or Chicago and not Anaheim. -- Chicago and LA is that on guys' minds already.

Well I don't think so -- was -- you'd you'd really honestly. If you. Work in your mind -- favorites won the World Series you were about spoke like I mean I don't think we ever all five I think we thought about it we were we will not happy about it. But I don't think we're good as good -- teams and about that I think it'll oral seven middle that we care that matter who we're -- to because he used to be that. Well that you speak but it probably felt like altered your anyway. You don't now we're not -- now it's like. -- have been better he bring to the table you know came one Beckett -- one though broke local specialists in the regular but for you do.

And oh yeah. Who -- I put your team in the ALCS are we going against.

Well I think I -- it it obviously Anaheim -- is -- the most consistent most -- season's team that -- but it would think would be. As good as anybody but. You know they say it every October it is because those that they if you got a pitcher or two who gets -- Kazmir and shields. -- more -- they can beat anybody and so could be Austin you know Tampa could I'd. I expected to be the Red Sox and lower response the other side I certainly think this team that's in the -- of the --

much was made yesterday during the broadcast and at the ballpark about the 456. Consecutive sellout votes sellouts -- players applaud that and endorsed that. Is that lip service or is it really meaningful.

Absolutely absorb that this is you know I think -- you hurt last week it's too kotsay Europe day and dirty talk about how many here have different it and you know -- used to be a negative. You know the passion that the people carry around here it was it was Burton in the weight now its the opposite this is the environment and atmosphere. A lot of times players develop a desired place somewhere when you go somewhere and play there in joy of the experience. In coming -- is different. It's something you you walk away from deal it's also a perfect you don't have that thing -- outs and and you know it's it's such an incredible. Run of the numbers may. It but you know it and there are I would argue of -- what is sixteen millions of fans during the Ron yeah. That. What -- didn't -- profanity -- some welding.

That at Atlanta. That's the beauty of -- I heard David last night talk about -- cities that their days drag your -- of the ballpark into outside you'll feel like it justice you know outright so not right and he got on the field and and and they changed your mind for you.

Yes right you have and that isn't physical I've seen it I mean. You walked out of that -- it's different for starting pitcher -- you -- you guys. You can hear -- him -- some guys direct about it than you know nineteen consecutive game in. It's that they gave in -- blogging popped up that dugout mirrors is reflective drones shot. In the and then you know they've been that way with the Bill Walker.

When a guy like -- say or just the late season acquisition comes -- veteran he's having a blast. We go to his agent says listen I don't care no one else is out -- I want to stay here -- it just more fun here.

In some guys built. Some guys do actually did you have to give up -- at a place near her really -- I think it's going to give a big advantage hopefully Jason's what are. Okay. I that'll you know he's the guy who view putting come from a more. Differ a more a different department when he came from the come here you know to come from Pittsburgh which is you know 11000. On the Friday night. So. And then you walk in the Fenway while. It's -- I think guys like that really have probably is impeccable.

If I'm mistaken I think they have one more year to convince date Tuesday yet Edmonton then -- got to be talking -- tolerant with but about their attack. Army when -- here since then.

I -- Seattle on a very big and only wants to be here you know it's been an incredibly hard your for him people have no idea. How what do grind off the field it's been for him obviously impossible problem but you know he was sick twice this year and I was they're both I mean. He was sick to the point though of I haven't to be in bed for multiple days at a time that he couldn't beat the sick and he just right to console longer recover from both of those then there's lot of steroids has been such incredibly order for -- that. But he's committed do that time jeopardy has in and done everything he's done is use this is incredible.

we wrap up with yet another Brady question and I'm wondering the the the accepted philosophy your approach of having a rehabbing player by and large stay away from the team. Does that better serve the team or better serve the player.

Depends on the player depends on the team really doesn't like it says. You know there's a very different relationship between the quarterbacks in the NFL and then there isn't I think in just about any of the sports so. Unsure if it. If he's supposed to be around and it and it and he can help the team bigger and he will be at all I don't know that that. What that's like go to -- if this team needs to be I think these have been.

It was speculate about nick to farther you would be an -- post season broadcast Booth have you had any discussions on --

There's not a chance in --

It's. Not equipped McKay about meter being a.

I was objectives -- going to keep fighting from different people all it was an over Sonoma -- apply to -- that I had a lot of stuff going on that I forgot we both of them died yeah I knew you would argue it was so. Was about what other it was terrible consistently season there's been I didn't even go against its -- I would have played Brady well I would have I would -- partly Willie Parker. Frank Gore and Marion Barber. It's not run this week but I have I actually drafted Matt Ryan -- Mike can keep --

Thank you very much great move. Yeah that you're not headed to the broadcast Booth.

Not a chance you know -- cut doesn't interest you at all. You'd think I want to be a member of the media he'd give me.

Our -- you can't do worse than Joe Morgan.

You know first I can't even that -- give me better in my next Tampa equipment.

parlance on any big announcement to make -- you want to share with us any into any any declarations. No now did you get my Sarah -- NT sure yeah now.
