Bronson Arroyo, Reds Pitcher

Welcome back fourth and final hour Donaldson Callahan money free form Friday you're looking for something really fun to do tonight. -- Moves in the -- five dated as the little more matured another five -- as well but that's tomorrow night at Attica something created to let them the bronze. The Bronson Arroyo band -- live at the showcase to show is live that a Patriot place the night in Foxboro 8 PM. Joining us on the eight TNT hotline AT&T your world liberties man himself Bronson Arroyo. Welcome back -- how aria. Glad to have you -- and you know it's a look at your -- to now spend as much time. In Cincinnati as she did with the Red Sox. Yeah now it's that time slot Lego buckle. That's stumbling -- you're -- would you go to spring dreading this will be your fourth year with the reds.

Yeah I noted that but I it's I don't look back then take about 4 band that -- know all the -- singletary yesterday from final.

Still you still miss it god knows when you left. It was a little bit that you were a little bit -- shall we say yeah.

Yeah without question I think you know I I think going to councilman and become comfortable and anyplace right now you know plastered all on the verge of -- remain untraded. And I don't know about that some stuff in the paper about not want to leave Cincinnati -- on the on the on the have a good time now cultural -- you know trying to part of it is difficult. You know what once a lot of times special ever get any other ballpark in in August -- evident.

Brought some aside the obvious differences of Fenway Park versus versus Cincinnati can you give us a couple of examples of how the baseball experience there is different in the baseball experience here.

I won't get much in my time they'll let you know well first I was we don't have a winner and a long time and so a lot of our. -- seventies with the big red machine part time you know right now -- It is expected to win every night you know on the biggest thing about -- nearby hospital and that every day until the playoff game in you know let you know even if you're playing. You know Oriole or whoever cannot archer resentment a lot of -- you don't play well. You know the media is going to be on get a candidate beyond good and at times did you did you like you know you go home at night at least again rather than -- that's got us out because -- not a had a bad game. Playing in Cincinnati and are totally you know it's just the game when the game's over it's almost forgotten until our. You know is that more pressure playing here and the other side of a point from god and -- planned pleasure -- Prussia ball out of George. Come apart everyday until -- power garlic Shelton at fault.

Do you think that makes you better you personally.

No question -- I know for a fact after playing here especially when he -- the Yankees and only big game in nineteen -- the year I have an appeal of shots. In Oklahoma National -- com. You know I felt more like out in the beginning you know without some more like Ellis did you rush and training to a lot of dog was bought -- our energy -- double that gives an opportunity that. The desolate -- probably a little bit better. When -- loose -- the National League you know rather -- to let the pressure you know -- it to you but it definitely should get a.

You're almost 32 which is hard to believe in your. A come off four straight years of 200 plus innings and I'm wondering at the ice yet Bronson.

out -- they are usually took 1990s or road you're going to cycle which are. You know almost prided myself on. You know -- to do whatever it was that anybody you know -- I think -- W -- about -- and that picture of the cultural because Americans will turn -- during the -- body looked. You know I I don't try to Matta and not broken down and -- up. Our big guys really know what sort of -- true -- the signature element -- Abiola the catalyst result and that happened you know -- or.

At your name comes up occasionally and in our discussions and did this week because. At Boston College I don't know if you heard the head coach left after two years in. He promised to study you know five and he left in the question was about loyalty and one of the calls said hey you know the teams -- oil to the players in the works both ways. Look what the Red Sox did. Bronson Arroyo after they signed to that eleven million dollar contract do you feel look at back that they were not loyalty you Bronson.

Well I mean from a personal standpoint utley you know -- outlook domestic and quite. You know again the blood there meaning most of led to try to benefit. You know double organization and not just one individual -- personal feelings so. You know I mean -- to double edged sword and I you know personal I felt like you know. I had a good relation about our wish DO and and with the government property and and do things off the field to trot -- our organization if you're you're -- check committed. And then let me when nature regulate that you kind of feel betrayed a little bit but -- know winning when you can step back -- little -- And look from the outside then and very well I mean it happens every day and -- they have to make try to better relation.

Russell what's your feeling about the the a hundred years war the continues to rage -- the Yankees spending you know 400 million dollars on every. Big name for reason they could the Red Sox go on cheap if -- could say cheap you know five million dollar for smoltz and five million dollar for --

Yeah I you know I I was at a ballpark yesterday and -- a little bit during. You know just talk about -- regular public article about primarily about the announcement for Rocco Baldelli that taught. You know I read about every year they seem to make. Offbeat movies like that other than a couple of big name guys that got like Matlock and that's. I think it makes them much more fun to be the Red Sox fan because you know you -- the blue collar job that he's got a good writer and I was with. Without they're going to defeat you about your and the like that in you know to make that slot into the air ball but that that.

Who I think we're losing so. Which on call back to call us back. With the -- they get back. A blast them honest -- you went -- he was established pitcher. One World Series here went to Cincinnati was going to be like for Molson and many don't walk into this establish. Clubhouse the devils' locker with these Red Sox and kind of dated guys percent of their old ways established in the role right out of play.

You know get more established in the giggled as John Smoltz. And and penny two means an awful All-Star right arm to right and I think they bring a certain -- a but at the same time John and walking in there to. I don't think that compete for a job if they're healthy they think -- still have a job you have to think that way you back --

That's aren't we wonder what what what the dynamic did you sort of went through this when you have smoltz and penny to establish stars in the rolled right at other places for a long period of time. Coming into an established in in well defined clubhouse like Boston -- is that an uncomfortable feeling for the new guy.

I don't know -- won't be you know our game -- little doubt about it and laughed. You split against the Dodgers it's a lot of talent certain respect level that -- especially for a guy like John Smoltz something he's going to commendable total where it plays and so. There's got to remember about that I mean their. The applicant realize that play but they've never played. For you know. Stretch and like and then everyone leave no doubt you know how to play an impossible a little bit different than anywhere else and -- But I respect for the things that are are around them as well outside you know Canada day a guy like John Smoltz do. It is going to be all shame that it does not come and a couple.

Are you a surprised that Varitek may not be back behind the plate for the Red Sox.

Yeah. I'll be shocked that it shouldn't -- welcome back in -- I really can't -- area of the uniform and -- like. You know I've enjoyed the road brings more to the Boston red -- and it would anywhere else on the game you know he he knows. The pitcher than an out he knows the ballpark you know he's he built immediately. Everything that he brings to the table. You know don't have anything to the batting average and god don't have that you're the -- what you did last year. To meet the other that would tarnish all the -- of -- and I'd be shocked -- people and here.

Brunson missed a couple of examples of of what kind of perks bad word to choose. Up pitchers enjoy -- Jason behind the plate then your run of the mill average Major League catcher.

Well you know -- that it became somewhat you got. He's got books that you know -- on every team -- shattered dictionary and bomb you know -- it hasn't always gotten Alou would have about it but with the speed of a close from the plate. Just all kind of small thing with a game -- a copy I'll want to pitch in the game. And -- at all almost all people got -- skirted somewhere like to try out I'm Mara -- third go anywhere on ocean furlong trip. And you are going to make you have I want to I would just let you know that -- And living go to are going to be -- particular but it took over that yeah. And to -- our that you're going to protect and so you want to moderately short runner more this guy at the general news Abiola. You know handle anything has gone up there.

Els the -- music career goal and we know that the beyond covering the bases debuted in 2005 is that something you're gonna wanna do when your playing days are over full time Bronson.

I a lot of fulltime but I definitely enjoy it play ensure those. You know I'd I'd play it was ours for a long time and and -- to establish some some guys are years local guys chipper out he's the player that I'll remember Avery. And I'm despair. You know I've enjoyed playing for people and about so much about our record. I just you know get a chance to do something that's not playing baseball have a good time -- I think America especially all how much I'm not sure.

So he'll be at the showcase of Patriot place tonight at 8 o'clock down in Foxboro and then you're going to be up in Maine on Sunday.

Double implore just pumped about that industrial and not a clock and I got to showcase sports beer beautiful direct your -- regret about.
