Opening Segment

Well we should have suspected. Tampa bay manager Joe Madden should've had a clue. Additional what the Red Sox hitters knew almost. From the first pitch to the light -- Scott Kazmir nearly drilled the open deck batter. It is going to be a nightmare night for the eighties and it's certainly was not straight balls to begin -- A three run home run Red Sox Crawford running and now -- officially turn -- talked to the manufactured sports topic. What will the rotation biathlon in the October rolls around five eighths -- a menu.

Action is that because. And Steve Buckley talks to back about this year -- that act on that idea. -- Q watching tonight would that mine like is this. My post season aces his -- that once that or is last or hell. This guy who went last night is only seventeen and two. What that 293 ERA -- but. But he had this I mean honestly on paper he's going to get. Some not first place votes as -- going to be unanimous he gets in second place votes for cy young. And I'm what you look and -- it.

around on a regular Wednesday -- asked the lowest the eyeball test but seventeen. And who yeah. Seventeen and to disqualify -- throw 101 pitches in 55 innings have absolutely no argument I don't. Deceiving. Record I've ever seen has come to for me when Daisuke pitch is he just drives me nuts. And I always -- the game you know go ahead on TV are -- catch up when when he's pitching. I just go on that little double speed you can go on -- you can watch the count at the top and it's always the same ball one strike one ball two ball three straight to follow -- follow up. And here's.

What is -- underplayed a scary. I and Olympic I think it's a big part of his problem he's emotional he's emotional we just don't see it because. He tries not to show he's seething inside gets mad at the calls and gets mad at the gets met the manager Woody's game. He gets mad at the opposing hitters he's mad at things and and if he word. Somebody like I don't know Antoine Walker you'd see all of respect him. Perillo Owens beat Kevin Youkilis. Perillo happy with somebody where you could see -- on the stations it. He's got to stop to -- that these guys stopping so emotional. Widely assumed he's not emotional just because we can't see like Remy talked about the last night we walks off the amount when he thinks he's got a strikeout. And any do last night. And he walked back to the mound and you don't really see -- on the space he's trying to show that's what pitchers do particularly Japanese pitchers and not. Show -- up inside seething. He's pissed that -- you know roiling. And that affects them. Matta that's exactly yeah yeah it's like when Josh Beckett gets little hacked off that a hitter you wanted to get a little hacked open up to act up and I think guys react differently you see it seat on the golf course and guys get emotional bear down the other guys get emotional and heroic death. Amid all the join John Daly get emotional on the golf could go to. If say Retief Goosen got to blow -- April you would never know I would never and I think he's an emotional guy. And we just he just doesn't so outwardly and I think when he gets emotional when he gets mad at the hump in affects the negatively last night was a good example if that's the case is.

That's something I understand you know your emotions are but they are you really can't control who you are. Personality standpoint but has John fairly Tito Francona identified that I think I asked my coach brought some. I'm glad we -- to okay what are what's the record Shell but the fact of the matter is the last youth seventeen and two at bats even more than that they're seems to be. This lack of concentration early in the innings and early in the counts where -- just sort of not bearing down -- not. Emotionally engaged I think it might be just the opposite Jerry -- funny it's a couple guys on base and finds himself on the whole that he says and maybe that's when he gets emotional -- I'm in trouble let me bared down and throw strike by the way. It would set aside the entire last year worth of philosophical dribble that the umpire squeezing. Daisuke -- Al rookie I think he still thinks he's being -- he thinks he has and are they know.

Well that last night when he punched out whoever was in it was the third we took four steps toward the dugout that was a strike Grammy discussed that -- peso and showed was distract the umps miss right. And happens every pitcher ever a professional pitchers. Have to let that slide -- have to get past that. I think Daisuke is still struggling to get past that he he was mad about that and it cost him next what a dozen pitches. And you know he he'd it's going to bear down and get the next guy I think he was still angry that he didn't get that call I mean it's just it's just one explanation. For the the maddening experience that is.

Daisuke you'll be a thousand dollars you'll -- thousand dollars at yesterday's lead in the building. A three hours and fifteen minutes game over under UN under three want to wanted to break on me. -- just got on it -- I agree with you disqualify that in my I don't know slow it -- are probably wouldn't win nineteen and 1818 and eighteen I mean. They won't let him go the distance in for him that's five innings of last that yank him at the three key for the -- happy yet through five via. Yeah that that's that's that's in his same way you can't just ten straight starts and apartment and threw six and a in these maddening to watch it quick the looked at the box score and hand on the hits the its simplest.

91011. I was gonna say 27. Well but that they had eleven hits six home runs more than half. There it's a home runs. Obviously teed off on him and I and -- were a guy that that when he hits and pick up the books. In the -- and that's sufficient a lot of yeah yeah. -- felt like on the top three guys in the order and eleven. -- more than -- but Remy at the line of the night mr. David Ortiz should be Bears collecting RBI with a groundout yet you know as good line that was good that that -- point by him but. You watch in this here's my take on this is this is why I picked the Red Sox to in this division overtake the Tampa bay rays. Because they have guys like right congratulations -- guys like poppy who are clutch. Let's face the greatest clutch hitter yeah Red Sox history he has a trophy that says that. I mean guys on this team are clutch -- god knows the guy pitching tonight just Beckham is clutch Lowell is clutch. I think Duke was Pedroia and these guys who can you expect him. Not only. -- To play the way the play but even better in -- pick up the game yeah. Pick it up in the in the big moments and then they have in the new guys like Kazmir who choked last night all. Who clearly was out of sorts because this was as bigger. Regular season moment the bigger the moment is is ever. Bin in the -- as the biggest game we've ever had in the -- is there race and how did they react to that pressure. -- okay he acted like gutless you know meaningless when he -- Shanker of the golf ball I mean when he didn't cover first on the Jacoby Ellsbury humble person. That guy who's buckling under the pressure and this is -- that passed the current. The collection of -- not that I know but -- to feel like he should the leader of the show that even I was the youngest starter. He's been around the longest in the chest. Committee he he -- in his left hand in the Rose and he's just got -- aura about him. I think they're counting on -- think they know they can't win without him. And he goes out there and just you know that's not a good psychological. Cater for the rest of the team to watch this guy blow their perform like I'm not a generous time if -- there's tie with the -- usually third start against the reds or or and -- three weeks and -- starred in the play a simple goal of the playoffs they're both going to be playing in the post season game and in three weeks Kazmir takes them in this huge post season game. Do they expect the guy who would they -- last night that they probably do.

How much fear and loathing and gnashing of -- have no idea with the -- mental makeup is now mentally tough he is how -- with adversity in the past but is -- going to be a long long long painful for days for him -- to get back up via the worst thing about starting in the gripping as you'd like golf couple days when we needed to take your your business and then you know certainly going to pitch in a good stink it up like.

At a good starter is the greatest show sports beat the bad it's like the war it's worse or in a bad start bad -- yeah. You know we even if you pitch well -- lose. Or like Daisuke mean that the greatest game in the world the five innings it's a W that I haven't even to leave orders -- yeah. Plus known even talks to --

starter it's like. Getting shot -- sore the next three days that cortisone. Meters it is in the paper but it did. Did you and you -- J. D. Drew. Sent a text message to the Red Sox trainer Mike rival. Saying that he was sore from the shot you received Friday. Well. -- points out there at all over New England. Vaccinations and shots and about the schools that. They're short today are they getting on the bus let the court ruled Abbas I don't I don't need to stay home insists is the way I can't make it. The flaw in the funeral. -- and Georgia's somewhere yeah what about in -- yeah so it should be in the in the right. Should be with -- he rejoined the team today. Anything yet but -- available. Brief moments or so who cares if you region in the team unavailable. Taken up -- in the plane oh. While that decides that there era with grandpa they -- all -- well. Take care deet -- we don't need yeah. He's sore from the shot. Did you -- address though in my pool. -- playing the rest of the year. Labor leader no I didn't need him though I'm actually from -- shoulder are audited to years partial. In his right hip right. But he expects the rest of the but it'll grab either runs or swings so that's not a problem that -- goodness it's okay yeah you know the which is what JD Drew. It's at least prescribed ice it doesn't that apply. I'm not that it is fine but the Sox assistant to Bruce way of calling NC yes I think that is an area I'm I'm available shot -- measles are pencils -- It's a bit on the two on in the post season roster. Asked does he have to. You better says oh. Is it there it's a part of it balanced play if he can't match the -- makes him. What are your least valuable players spineless jellyfish. The if the shot -- he'll -- on the post at all. Yes. You know you can't count of limited -- post. If you put him on there and first game and he swings and feels tightness. You're screwed. Take his spot on the roster today. Beyond -- as well -- probably -- you can have kotsay is a chorus room today -- Els Els. Simpson that you have full force on. The first. That streak to sports --

Speaking of -- speaking of up monitoring people and how they're feeling. A we find out tonight the Josh Beckett start is an important one John Farrell the pitching coach is going to monitor Beckett closely. Expects few restrictions. This is why he won't talk about whether Lester or Beckett. Should start game one of a playoff series your regular this menu battle discussion. We're going to have between now and October 1. John Farrell in his contractually obligated interview with his business that all the Boston Globe. -- They said it again -- you understand that John Farrell in a contractually obligated interview with his business -- bowl Boston Globe said we haven't even discussed that. That would be way too premature and presumptuous. -- to do that at this stage route to win our division and that's what everyone here is focusing. Traction. --

I don't think any player or coach and we would discuss that no Gillick go lynch like. But it's obviously a factor it's only two weeks weigh man two -- the.

Or pressing question because you know it doesn't I guess well Ottawa that matters not the Beckett goes for repeat it is knows how to join a -- doesn't. Lester based care of the case may be but he is that is that tougher decision for Hedo. Whether. Wakefield or Byrd usually fourth starter yes that's some that's a more emotional but I'm not like Tim Wakefield will just like be crushed. If he's not on the roster right.

Is it that you cannot start you know on the roster right on the either right comes on the bullpen and you crush last year would certainly couldn't pitch -- in that conference. Up yeah yeah it's a good question. I think they've yet to decide that either they each have a couple more stock this September -- matchups. Work here I expect him to be going against Chicago. Which is certainly better than going against LA Anaheim yeah but. I think Beckett is game one star I think he is because. Tell me who complains he picked Beckett. Nobody -- spine and the second game right. It takes some pressure off him. Puts more pressure on Beckett -- and god knows that expression even of last Holler at you and I think -- back to -- is that guy you pick last year. Over back at yeah it's an issue. You picked Beckett over Lester and it's not an issue right. I think it's an and you know by the way -- Beckett fails you have Lester back into my issue is Lester as your best pitcher right right but who pitches game two of Lester goes game one. -- saw what was the difference that it's best of five Ceres. I think. Eat if you -- I think in the Albie available in game five Adam had to by the Beckett should be Daisuke. -- playoff. Performance past performance does count here and and they Beckett relishes that role of the democratic Lexus. -- fine pitching game two he would never even his quiet -- right. You think you complaints I'm better than him -- and -- have been nice insurance policy of Beckett failed the team feels to win that first game -- Lester coming up for game two. If you can look at that he away mean -- coming of the game due less to loses the ball in good pitches -- is hotter packets get better about a portfolio to take a little pressure off Leicester not to start it right yeah I like that -- like that and I don't think. I think Franco already knows I think in his heart in his head -- already know yes. -- Beckett is the man it's it's like Schilling in his prime and you look at them and say. He leaves for these moments in peck leaves these -- game one playoff series at home all that all that comes with the that's that's it's his time do you think we could coerced an opinion of Chile later today about how this might work in my opinion -- about -- say something about agencies -- in the past the as the reasons you justice and I think they've placed more. Importance on the whole. The ability to handle the pressure than we do we we look like as he crumbled in the they say that it has that certain something. And they in these so valuable for the team this year gives them all old old team looks at -- We can with at all because we have a post season horse. And god knows we have a good number two also would just say right now. Their co favorites to win the American League pennant sure yeah with the proposal -- three starters at those three stars -- and clutch guy right now clutch performance. Like the guy in -- Ortiz like guys so last night in his big game against the tough lefty just he's -- off.
