Captain Rob Bradford

Doesn't that doesn't captain Robert Redford sound like a favorite team. -- Me how vast -- didn't Roberts. That -- me like a pirate grow your hair around will be put on one of them -- and -- and I -- student at the United. Dole out to -- up my beard a ball that good Pirates. I Hawaii rob Bradford W yeah I'd dot com did you -- out there now not a you are like that so much I want thought he yen. Are you so famous now with the advent of this whole you know this this submarine recall the a WEI dot com it's it's artistic guy you people coming up here all the time a -- Igawa sent all man dude you have now you are now dumb there. There's always a lot of talking -- all part -- about it you have a twisted pair blog -- all they want to talk -- and these athletes at his house. They might like if they pretty humid it. You know they got that twisted their name from being run about it happened after an exam turn your head and cough before gym class and it's. All of that is ultimately might get a grant that -- you know that struggled I think they're making me look we Dick it was not all the way you know there's not. Also don't like -- planned. False allegations. Their their stretching the truth to make him look like some kind of monster here BR disease he too well. And I mean there.

Well adult period it dogged -- you should -- enough itself I was glad that so what now where are you you. ES -- have all I would -- I -- care but I and I came on because. We have the big radio show tomorrow morning so us we should be doing that trot.

And that's from nine to one. I don't want yet -- vote tomorrow I think there's probably going to be you probably going to be cut short for pre game. Red Sox and for Boston College probably nine to save my guess my best guess nine to 1230.

BA into trouble like that wherever wherever they need me what it. Whenever the Cubs need to be Mike beer.

Well we've been having some fun tonight talking about two and a trivia nights about nickname I don't know if you heard it here in the earlier broadcast. On -- I -- and again. Yeah I was watching the game -- turtle little bit -- want to see how you'd want to see how you do one famous nicknames are ready I mean I'll -- at Davis middle names.

okay -- get my middle name Ben not that it bonus points.

I'll try to at the very end. The Ted Williams middle name.

Well. -- I don't know Samuel. It and you know a news OK how about Hank Aaron's. RI give rob I'm not I'm not much I know my agent tonight by.

After I it'll be good shots when you watch it again it.

Are nuts that. Is there a law like they're used to put it properly dynasty.

It's true mr. when we had this contest earlier and some idea as Henry Aaron Henry Louis Aaron right again I guess is -- was L. So the I don't know where the embryos commitment that. It's actually it yet you actually -- in -- guess -- I don't know what it is Liberace. But I know what it is it is it. It's part of it -- act up Kyle Farnsworth are you can't really is going to stand -- that's a family game.

As well grim news in there haven't been. That hey you know they're my third one -- your butler when I grew up.

And a jeeves.

ER material -- and then next -- BR farnsworth Bradford.

That farnsworth could you please put this blog or via the Internet from me. Red Sox are down Tuesday appear in this one and -- yeah I guess they've they've got to be rob looking forward to just. Finishing the season home. We all we all know that they're they're going to make the playoffs it's it's question of art can they possibly get home field advantage right.

Yeah -- all having the division still up for grabs and I think they're the one thing you come away from tonight is Paul Byrd has huge huge task that he faced I think. The Blue Jays 500 last eight starts in and a lot of the blue did not match up well against and so if he can get through there where they're reputable showing. I mean I think that goes along waited did deciding whether you can make the post either roster now might not beat you look at him in late field. It might not be in -- them in the first round but. Now that I think that's why the interest intrigue. The term the last ten days here today who can make in terms of Wakefield or Byrd in and and -- Britain pretty well so far.

That is big question and another big question is the as they had down the wire here is the the health of the you know and the other night somebody made mistake and the year was it means somebody restarted -- tape on somebody said that it was a partially torn leave via. But I don't think that's the right term there are and so what is it its labor right. What there's a difference I don't know what I'm not a I'm no doctor rob you know -- it but I think that bowl as you know he looked out receive a lot of pain -- I mean they I think they desperately need this guy in the lineup and he he's tough enough and soldier not the play through it. But could it affect his output last year he was big in the post season and and throughout the regular season but this year he's been. You know he's allowed a lot of maladies.

Yep you worry more about how big he was in the post you you pitched -- the United are. Oh yeah there's a book out about that at -- it -- called open it what's called the long drive or something that it meant that that the like that in August yard what is so what's it even have drive to drive deep -- right that's.

If that that there's if there's obviously but the report substitute the fact is is that. You know why he he looked painful old Buick vehicle that's walking your round and playing to a certain extent. Every you're kidding that you look at the numbers in terms of when he since he came off the DL so he had shown a propensity that he could hit. He could hit -- just -- yeah now the problem and it is that when the -- popped out the other day. I mean this this clearly affected -- healing process and also. It was still the type of play that you could have a problem with going order and -- to look at he going to get fibers to stave off fear they're going to try what are -- cool down. Bye -- he comes back in you played against a team like being too that's going to be a problem because. You know at any kind of bought any kind of slow roller clearly does the play he could have a hard time making but you're right I mean in terms of a bat in the lineup. This is the guy I think they're very underrated in terms of some and they probably need don't war.

Now the the other part about this this injury though is is that I what I heard was that he's going to have to have surgery right.

The big start not if not definite but that's the way you leaning.

Right now okay -- army and rest him rest doesn't doesn't heal it. At least Bibby says he's going to play through for the rest the years so it's not the going to be in the mile and a 45 day rest -- I mean he'll you can may be -- some of the pain.

Right well look -- thing -- had recorders don't shots but he's probably not going to have another one he wasn't. Rolled in terms of the backed that up a lap scores don't try to didn't do what the second one day it might it it it's not -- you're right you're not going to get a whole lot better. Well they've reassured him that in terms of damage to their -- it's not going to get worse by playing. Arm maybe it's something that you are going to have to have surgery on after the year and by -- he'd been reassured by the doctors that this is not going to be something where it's going to. No it factors his career but -- life partner cause they're hip replacement Eric like that.

get a lot of criticism rob on this show and on the baseball show for for my stance on the on the on the Tampa bay rays that. Yeah they're good in either of their playing well they have good pitching staff promised a private saying that there. They're they're they're not exciting. And that's I I attribute that to lack a marquee names and the fact that I hate him and I hate their park and keep their they -- the surface they play on. You know and the fans -- down there they've only sold out a couple of games this year with the team in first place. But what is your take on the raised as far as the next. Eight our games are so I think they have eight more games the rays and and the bulk of them -- on the road.

Right in I think there. You know that they could stop a little bit here -- on the whole -- now one -- away from the red cart series how good they are home I think fit. It -- with the crowd -- me if they have there with a crowd of 30000 or more. They I think 21 right now. So that so obviously you would think if they would get back in the playoffs and their top either resilient email home. So I think that in that respect they're going to be tough out by. I think they're just kind of writing this I mean I don't think anyone can say they have that how caught that the other playoff teams would have. But you know sometimes these teams get our role and if you have a good starting pitching like they do and could open like they'd do. You can hanging games and then you pal at the moment and take over I think there's a lot of guys or maybe played over their had a little -- and -- on Navarro and that. The remote and in those type the guys in. And you know what might eat in seeing it around nearly there's been teams that maybe not have won it all. But certainly he could have gotten a roll you've got that the community behind them gotten some incompetence Felton. And then -- a metal -- for themselves I think that's what the rate to do enough.

I you know -- to slap one on the third baseline on the ground. And doubled it just -- reached out left handed just what did Ellsbury swing at it. He's on second base knows the Red Sox try to get back into this one against Toronto. Might my main concern here though I think everybody's main concern is what happens if they don't win the Red Sox don't win the division. And I'm going to Anaheim which I think most people clearly fear more than any other team and in the week. As opposed to going to Minnesota or Chicago -- Cairo. And and taken on that team -- because the Angels are are the most feared commodity despite with the -- about.

Yeah by you know our our I'll say that I've -- that. You know I think that -- become the rays series that you saw Josh Beckett in in you no matter where you place cargo Angel they have or anybody. If you have the -- prospect at the at the other night and that you had last year name a lot of guys on the reds like in the regular club out in the pitching coach John well. Noted that this looked a lot like the same guy last year and and I don't care where you're playing W play and that's the one guy -- the other teams don't. So I think that if they can keep enough guys healthy in the lineup -- get guys anecdotal little bit in terms of war he's obviously I think -- You kind of feel pretty good about himself in the Holly's swing but it helped. I don't I think they can make -- match up with anybody but you're right I mean I think if you're -- pick -- team that you don't want a base hit the Angels for a couple different -- but. I expected the Red Sox if healthy -- line everything up they have a good chance that.

Are right mr. WEI -- comic of one more for you this what many in Los Angels is at 400 your teammate of -- let's say you look at what he's doing. And you look at what he did here are you seething. Are you met myth so where would you land on that.

No you have to define the question is it me or is it you want the perspective of the guys and help our club -- know right now.

I want to well I mean you can gimme both but I mean let's say you're a teammate in your -- on this team how would you feel about that personally.

media -- are based on lol if if you're if you're meeting based on the last week that he was here in what happened yeah I'm upset. Upbeat because you'd be you go back the first week that you keep stealing bases I mean I know that that's because it's not your taking -- when there's no problem that. But I'll tell you -- the -- thinking is that if they didn't do too -- scheme we're not thinking about that. And you know what started you bring Niedermayer whose name up -- almost for the most part except for a couple of guys in this great you know I that's in the partly the world who want to what.

I thought about they're get beyond that now -- more real quick one. He cut let's say LA wins they come to Boston for the World Series what's the reception for me.

Well boots all boos. -- A and Europe -- through our stuff that many did. You know he'd get booed probably hourly at all even in the last week you're not good -- all a smattering of boos. But bidding to prove it really resilient guy in terms of public perception. So I think that but I'd pick in this case is going to be turn around it's clearly enough stop it come out that I think Egypt.

Rob Bradford you have yourself a great program tomorrow at 9 AM WEEI dot com broadcasting. You're you're portion of the the airwaves here on the radio station and I'll be listening you know so you know you can always saying -- I -- shout out.
