Manager's Show

I John thank you very much and do a very miserable night all the way around the Boston Red Sox is that the kind of scheme that you can put in the rearview mirror just about the second it's over what is it linger at all well -- trying to sleep I'd say -- a little bit but. He certainly don't want to bring into the ballpark the next day and there's no reason to. Knows you win -- you feel good you move on illusion -- bat and you move on that's kind of the way it has to be I think the better you are at that. The better you handle moving forward. Can you talk about Tim Wakefield -- discussions with him and we're -- he is in in your mind where he is after last night he doesn't seem to view. Really the worse for wear today which is good. I'm sure he he feels. Will monitor him all week just like we've been will slot -- where we think it works best for him and for the rest or staff. And try to get again the most out of him without trying to get too much and also given guys an extra day where they could use. Was the weather as far as all those walks sixteen walks in the game was that an issue for both pitching staff last night I think it didn't help. Mean that they go muddy shoes you guys slip a little bit. But the grounds crew did a great job but by the umpires are great job. They just seem to handle a little bit but we did last. You have conversations with the -- pars running throughout their scheme on whether the game should continue you know you don't really need to I mean they don't they don't have a responsibility to do that. I've known Tim called for a long time we need of a good job. Yeah actually talked me once during a during the seventh innings -- to a spot which I appreciated but they'll have to do. How about you know the strikes on front umpire and as you say -- I want the highest rated umpires for a long long time. It was it a smallish strike zone in was it fair for both sides he's he's got one of a strike zones in the big leagues he's he's not gonna budged on -- he's got his own. Police consistent and you don't see that's why saved their Maybin about a lot of walks us revealed -- a lot of hitters welcome back complain because it's always consistent. Manny Delcarmen you talked about mechanics being an issue for him moving in the last night. Obviously wanted to give him an opportunity to write some of those things. It didn't happen -- mania right now apple would bring him in a world thinking okay in inning plus and this is a great opportunity. And it didn't work out that way and it got ugly in a hurry. We gotta keep fight him because he's such a valuable peaceful we're going when he's able throw the ball effectively gives out right -- they can get lefties out. He can go multiple innings it just sets up -- guys somewhat better. Do you facing a guy tonight who is. A series eyes on the Cy Young award and that is Zack Greinke is a fourteen wins he's been tremendous all season long has. Yeah he's well he's one of the best if not the best this year we're gonna have our work cut out force he got off to one of the best starts you can get off to this year. He he had a little hiccup in the middle but he righted the ship and now he feels good about himself like he says he's going after -- Cy -- He's gone after fifteen wins a last royal to do it was the guy you're starting tonight Paul -- and he'll be excited to pitch in the back him in in in camps and hopefully. He'll just do what he does which is give us a chance to win. You know thanks good luck to nineteen to thank David Terry Francona let's toss it back to John Rich.
