Time now the inside pitch which is brought to you by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care to learn more about Harvard Pilgrim Health Care visit Harvard pilgrim not award. Here's Red Sox relief pitcher Daniel Bard with Joe Castiglione. Went and you really have proven that you belong here you keep on coming back with good performances even when you had a tough --

Yeah I mean an excellent tennis that I would do and you know it's -- can predict the future but I know that if I. You know prepare the way prepared in the past and put the work in between outings this. You know on the in the long and they know you're going to have some of that good results in those going to be a bump in the road here in there and I've hit a couple so far but you know nothing wasn't able to move. And we see -- into more and more pressure situations. Yeah it's just the nature of the way baseball is the one of these -- because it's possible. Basically had that luxury yes that's it that's doable -- the deep bullpen variable. Maybe six or seven. And less pressured. There with those those -- there came a point where. You know the other six guys -- you know had on the net for our sonic game and had thrown. Blown -- situation when was in the ninth inning opportunity against the Yankees. Those minutes on the.

We notice that you maintain your velocity very consistently and you seem to -- pros so freely and easily year. Have you always had that kind of a smooth delivery.

People of all it's only watching the Los and it. And so hard looks effortless and move on doesn't always feel -- open a 100% you know effort in this every fastball and and by the looks LA and I think you're probably. Is a little bit easier my arm you know hopefully it'll. Give me some longevity in. But it doesn't you know feels like they're open in the full effort on every pitch so. Sports and to have it Livingston's. You know hopefully something will keep -- healthy in the long run it.

Your better than a strikeout an inning. And your breaking balls been a big factor he is it a tighter breaking ball would that we saw spring training.

Yeah altered the grip a little bit. Couple weeks after area called up here. And it's come along ways and insist it's an out pitch now rather than just to show me pitch. Which it wasn't before I mean before it was just something to keep hitters off balance and everyone's allowed sort of in London now it's and didn't allow more consistency with the until later sharper. The velocity is a little higher on it which I think it's a little more deceptive so. Real happy with you know the direction that's going.

been great to. You always have family members heroes and we've mentioned your grandfather Fran O'Brien knows the athletic director at MIT -- of holy cross. And he's back coaching at the age 76.

He he retired. From the hit from its head coaching job holy cross about. Once is enough for years ago. My my grandmother honest and say that's enough and -- dealt with base on a whole life you know and take a break it's definitely did take two years off. Can sailors from the game basic things got bored in retirement and wanted to get out working with the working with kids again and so he's. Still unlike kind of a graduate and started third in unpaid assistant just missing doesn't help solidly and -- now. Hitting good relationship with the head coach did so. It's different to get out there I think.

I would be fine he does a great job in your dad of course caught. In the minor leagues. And recently you ran into Jim Palmer and your dad caught him one time.

He. Tim came up and said -- to -- while we were stretch and pregame. -- on the field. Introduce himself in my senior who doesn't. I thought he was gonna say something hey I played you know I answered your dad -- back and early eighties -- in stating that you know you. My you through to my dad right method. -- names like -- barred Houston. I -- I -- that did he think when no idea -- I Dolan Hansen and early eighties. You can either kind of rehab start in the minors horrors in spring training one it is. He didn't remember my -- little disappointed to hear that let. -- That conversation and it's kind of cuts in the movement.

He is that people talk about the legendary growing army camp when he was catching. At tops he's busy battling with you but with YouTube relish playing ball.

Yeah my. No one brother to Richmond. 11 jeered the was playing -- nice play in the valley league this summer since no one more year left Richmond and the youngest on Luke. Who's distracted by the Red Sox so. Scrimmage or detect I don't know what little -- out of this -- some rules that.

They throw as hard as you walk and they eventually. Runs in the family and that would certainly appear along time your off to a great start.
