Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

Rather another day another series another week another month but David Ortiz is homer list streak continues we've all wondered how much it's been weighing upon him. He talked this evening in the clubhouse at -- apparently it's been weighing on him quite a bit.

Yes he says morning noon and night basically is what he says in he admitted to it. It's thinking a lot about a lot of time in -- Said he talked to Carlos Delgado yesterday for about an hour and people should understand that. Coastal Gado was probably the best case scenario. In terms of the guy pulling out from such a slump which he went through last year so. We talked a lot about that very subject with Delgado yesterday. I talked to Torii Hunter which is obviously Ortiz won a better -- better friends who witnessed his longest. Home run drought back with the Minnesota he says. You know if he's got the personnel or he's gonna pull out when he wasn't heartened to hear that he he was so frustrated eighty verbalize the front of a massive media. Saying that it is weighing on him a little bit but he did feel like if he just gets -- one it's gonna be all behind them.

I mean obviously his confidence is not the same how could it be based on the performance but do you get the sense and seen him in listening to him talk that it's completely gone or it's just kind of on the back.

Well no it's I think says he he says something entrusting beat today about the the technical aspect of why he's hitting home runs in his eyes. That he feels this is kind of a carry over from last year where he gotten so about have a last year but not being neglected -- inside fastballs which. We've identified as one of the problems going forward in. And he said that he stated that bad habit for much of this year he feels like he started get out of it a little bit. But you know until you get the first one its knowledge is knowledge of the physical and technical that side of things but also the confidence boosted the you have to have the confidence that you're going to hit a home run and right now he doesn't and that's hard to believe considering everything he's gone through his career.

You put the Red Sox lineup and they were not the one they're going to feature tonight but the one you would expect. -- not giving anything out of your three guy and tonight your number two hitter and you number four hitter -- in the lineup as well mean that's a huge coal let's start with Youkilis of the number four guy because over the weekend we get the sense that they may be this would be the night to Kevin Youkilis would get back to the lineup but there that's not the case.

Now I mean you were almost halfway through basically what would be a fifteen day disabled list it's -- today's the eight today so. It's tricky situation I think today is really kind of hallmark moment for him and sense of how he comes from taking batting practice and fielding practice and if he can and then they feel like you've played the next couple days and can avoid -- several list. And he did come here earlier. Worked out -- went through batting practice today in on this watching nothing grounder. He seems fine so I think if I had to guess I would think that he's not gonna -- DL move. And he's going to play but certainly its last a little longer than they anticipated. The jury is -- much less serious though I mean even he could pinch hit tonight it's neat being. Yeah and in you know what if you pinch hit that would be such a bad thing because he's five for seven career as a pinch hitter. It's -- competes he thought could have -- Syria is. He said that he could play today he actually probably want to play their whole -- of the last couple days he had treatment yesterday's hotel. And it just made a market improvement the last couple days and he says actually this he went back to that that rain delayed game back in New York refers that in and obviously he tweaked it on. Catching his cleats the other night but. The last couple days of gone a long way and he feels ready to go any I think you can expect to be even if you don't see him in the lineup card in action tonight we'll see you tomorrow.

There where the angels right now unless the Red Sox -- there -- dealing with the tragic death of negate part. They took two of three from the Red Sox in that series out there that weekend but you look at -- injury wise and they've been decimated yet here they are they seem to be right in the thick of the race.

You have all you know it it helps when you have some guys to stick in them over your Ewing new guy who Napoli who was who was an opportunity capture and such compute that that you can kind of sick of -- And but you know the play with a lot of confidence right now it and that's the -- team like this that. They eat eat you hear the Red Sox players you know man you know we played against the same team deceived all the time it's early in year. But those same teams play the same way which is campaigning in Ohio and remember begin the year what's wrong with a Red Sox well. No they play to keep in Tiffany and Honda came out of right out the gate in. And that's exactly what they're gonna keep seeing today is a year and unite the the Los Angeles teams accuse me that really puts pressure on you. And they're gonna be wary of that in and -- to be have to some big you have to look at because as we know that they've had some problems -- in the -- the running game down a little bit. In Aston -- concern going into the series. All right rob thanks is always talked to assume thanks John.
