Rob Bradford

Rob Bradford is standing by its -- games save your game -- got. Are almost big game right now the -- of the merger of the matter is that good here I don't it's not just you win any. -- of the better story than. That's a great story and people love that -- nationally don't they I mean -- are now. It's almost like will or won't like couldn't get along with a vector of blushed at the -- I.

Tell you what -- like it's been referenced a few times since that happened but when that Jumbotron showed -- Ramirez hit a home run during Red -- the other day. That was classic.

Yes that was. And it was a great picture Antonio -- with you know just the head down and that is the looking at but I. I don't understand it it's like I were people not paying attention the last few years it because. Outside of Boston they just seem I'm amazed that you know. -- he's he's you know people here are Saints at a single will be -- that.

Yeah have you ever have you received an athlete words -- politte. Wholly different from one perspective to the other. And in regards to I mean basically everybody out here clearly loves them pretty much around the country I think they'll look at him -- what the Red Sox do but. I think that you know 90% of people back in Boston where are saying well Jason Bay hit hit a pretty big home run then and it would be where they were aware of -- we've -- Barrett right now.

Still other pitchers would be fearful of -- but I don't remember McCall a lot of this I remember all the writers and of the city's kind of downplaying. His. You know its status as an MVP candidate and things like that. Because he simply didn't play the game the way they thought the game should be played now suddenly he is finally playing the game. The way the game should be polite and everybody's raving about him -- won't follow the Red -- like --

On Robinson's young fast and -- one -- could hit it well I think obviously there was only know like Phillips from day one at LA you know it. Every installed base about it we can't couples these things. --

You know it just what -- think -- I think they're right I think the perception around the country it change a little bit a big part of that is because. Don't forget about all the drama that's like the guys not having you don't -- guy no matter who you go on the try to roll that this -- been on.

Rob anybody could've predicted this whether he went yeah Arizona Florida. He was going to have a great three months because he was motivated to have a great three months at every. That gigantic Carrick and setting up their problem.

If that's why they might be from the Dodgers prospective recruits -- a history of base.

And it -- and I -- you know what.

It might be the worst four year contract in this -- all coming up.

Sure yeah yep but you don't wear it for what they guy is pretty unbelievable yet -- worked -- for the Red Sox and Dodgers not so much for the Pirates.

No no it didn't okay let's get back to the Brendon Moss era but again it's -- that's the Red Sox that game tonight. Give a steal lowdown on on --

Well I ever in the lineup yet but -- certainly there were whispers that he was brought beauty might not be in the lineup.

They don't posted at the -- I don't think without the ball and B yeah I think -- would and upload your mind -- you you forget we have the power to Blackberry although.

Hey all you guys that's they rob is it safe to say that you know they probably is going to be playing today if anything is a few days off the theory the lefty Saunders.

Yeah I think that that's what. Prevailing thought was in and in you know yesterday he felt he could felt okay yesterday. He felt better than expected but. But still I think they're they're being very very cautious with I think you're totally right he bit. You gear up for the laugh you -- that they'll they'll -- is going to deal -- that either and and they know that he knows that. Well you have to pick your spots and have been. And I don't know what the perception was back home in terms of how he played the other night I wasn't really surprised I I thought it looked a lot like he did. Before before that Adrian Tampa but you know it but what happens again that the couple one have here what if the Eagles come out and try to bottle little.

I didn't like the limelight like yemenite studies that like the challenge of the other night with them.

Well that's the thing I beat you never -- figured what the worst postseason players around. Others tried it -- it to be doing it all the video white -- try it once the first time -- and then really try it again then it would backup point.

Did you -- Sosa is a -- was asset I think after the game resources several lowest points of shall we took away. But I notice.

You can try and you gotta you gotta improvement parents that you have in. Okay it will make of that comes back and make the play that kind of don't do it again you have to see what.

Can and you -- I think he comes out of bonds' first at bat puts a bunt down and Michael does make the plate that was the first. That might get Michael out of the game. Even though he made the play he might injure himself deplores the decade and hit now because of the -- I wish I price and out to get a guy like -- out of line.

Yes and he's he's had to be said that dating back to that plate and put that that the play that you can't really make and so you can place shallow as you wind but still you're probably right -- approach you have to prove bait -- that you can make that play -- And the other part about it the big what happened in the he hit the ball hardly seemed to be on the pitches by. If it out first at bat if that's what gets by the outfielder what happens I mean we haven't really hope he can try to leg out that he -- back ever to murder. Because what he gets on base going to be it's going to be tough for them.

How much questioning is their -- out there in the Anaheim area. Los Angeles whatever about. This team not being able to win in the post season.

Well I I think they yet there have been questioned and rightfully so because. You know you can you you can't win all the games you want to beat the Red Sox up in doubt the regular season but the fact that it is that the reds -- there were pretty good post season roll going against this Steven. And I and our references this that a couple times but you have it's -- wild card Eric you have you've got eighteen team to a hundred games. And only one won the World Series not to -- that's a pretty big trend. And if I you know a lot of that goes too well how we Q what's it going and you look at the competition did you after the regular season. And and there's going to be question mark ever with the and that's why and that's why we don't we talked about it about the important game one up and it's important to jump well. But I thought it was also important to kind of set the tone. And cut that kind of a momentum here that's exactly what happened.

I think you're right TC was right I also play the game off. The day off in between because of the way socialist. Oh elected to his schedule was series I think data as end up hurting them because there was a lot of time where they were here this overvote. -- thought Torii Hunter comments yesterday. We're telling where he was talking about the make -- of the team and how his team had difficulty beating the Yankees in Minnesota as a guy that was not here before book was reference is all. He has been evident that you do with. Difficulty with certain teams and gets in your advantage I don't Howie Kendrick came out in this what's it going to take Pristina when he at one quote luck.

I thought that's only. -- it's not at Vegas possible. With the Iraqi by this notion is that yesterday's thing I'll lose the club losses -- they've got to be up right now they're two very Richardson to meet tonight. The Red Sox in the first couple jump out to say you know 23 -- lead.

Well you know you will be better here and I I do think they'll -- but almost doesn't matter that's what the to a detriment because. You have I thought walking -- included in the final. There was a player who's running in the big time return to work out and review -- he had a wetsuit Ottawa carrying a book report. Aunt and uncle Bobby.

It's just now but I wasn't it wasn't -- Justin -- I was dozens final roster not on their roster and actually review the ones cause they're playing that up as. -- he was doing that did that loosen things up in the club house which would indicate to me. That they needed some loosening his -- I think all comes back -- ways they are you healthy effort if you use it on that little.

Yeah I know I I think don't want to think you have to keep in mind here in terms of the red Lexus cup against the Angels that we have to start given the reds start a lot of credit. For the way they approach playoffs and he'd been scouting did do. I think they've they've shown now we covered enough for example they saw that they might they might be pretty good at that pretty good at getting ready for Sears and pretty good attack. We it to the other team. Though that's one part of it and I think that it against the likely you just -- it is it all the stuff that's not so you put some doubt the other teams that.

I -- a pretty aggressive. Lineup the Angels lineup does Daisuke. Take them deep into a game. And what do you think is -- got a steal forty to --

The neighborhood of 300 -- that's all right. Well it's exactly I think does that affect -- I think I think you've got a lot batters -- I think you've got a lot better Alden runners on. But if you don't we we could do it it's horrible to shape that we have to say that because the guy had -- statistical year. But you don't -- you just waiting for that one time where he'd go load the bases and all the sudden someone doesn't get that hit. And it -- obviously this would be the worst -- program to happen but. I -- the benefit -- that the one thing and -- bit and we said this before -- of the person out there a reason Daisuke doesn't have a perception of the last -- back it. It because he doesn't go deep in the games. And if he doesn't know if he can pitch greatly give give up one run but it -- five innings. You know to me they need more than that.

I -- blocking during the game tonight our man are we ever.

Rob I want question for you ethnic out of the help us open Q but yesterday at the worked -- did you talk -- Put up but it did anything behind them.

I think it would have played -- if I understood right.

That's reality. Of the shotgun.

I EI think. I think you're the shot you I think you are embracing the little podium they meant.

But as as the joy heard that I mean is he -- that at least.

I think I think I had a big I think go to player and I think that this was basically out they might they might -- the merchandising purposes. But all that it has been prevalent throughout.

Here accomplish -- I react to the short body -- course could. Have laid back. I'd -- magic a Blackberry out difference of blogging it's about a WEEI died down. With the bizarre himself --

Anything unique -- I rob it's -- finally leads to get the ball more yeah. Yeah. Yeah it.
