Welcome to Fenway Park and welcome to the Herb Chambers Chrysler Jeep dodge pregame show my name is John Rich. The Red Sox today Indians will begin their final series of the regular season tonight. Boston is in the midst of a six game losing streak Jon Lester gets the ball opposite Carlos Carrasco this evening. Now let's get the latest from the manager Terry Francona has brought to you by Bigelow tea Terry Francona screen to your choice here's -- particularly own.
What's either tonight a lot of eyes will be focused on Jon Lester after he was hit by that line drive. In Yankee Stadium which says it was very scary but you confident that after his side session that it won't be a problem.
Yeah we wouldn't pitch him I think we've exhibited that that we know we're willing to we're trying to do what's your best interest long term. And we wouldn't have pitched him we didn't know he was okay. And how long Eagles game will seal the game goals and we we'd have to. Stay in the reality. That whatever we do now. We need to remember that what we're shooting for his next week. Saying that -- hope we win we we hate losing to fall where it last night was ugly. But we don't want to an ugly game of a sudden it's such a team back down the road so that's why got uglier when third pitch and Dustin Brown thought miles ago right. But as opposed to maybe pitching Bard we shouldn't things like that we're -- do. You picked as the brown because of past experience while -- of them before but he's not available. And dusty brown appears to junior college so that was good enough and again you're not -- and some others a regular player. We thought dusty can handle it -- wasn't in the game through a lot of reasons to do. How is Josh Beckett today after his side session yesterday back it's good he's he's in good shape were were offset we're getting them we're didn't. We're getting back to health were trying my duels and played night. One guy we're gonna -- another day off Tuesday be -- to benevolent more just because we all voted into the post season. Shoulders been nagging minimal but I'd rather him not play take advantage of that -- gathright who want to right field and TO he looks out there. You have not announced the game one -- two starters WA to -- who do you play -- people come through these neck starts while -- no point in time but we almost schedule. We have decided we're gonna leave Monday because there's so much in the air and waiting on you know the Detroit Minnesota things -- rather than we're trying to have. As little as possible opening -- shall leave Monday what their work on Tuesday and and maybe Wednesday. Will do a lot of housekeeping things where did today try to start forming -- what we do know some -- what you can't know until you come through in leading. But as far as our rotation goes pitchers we just it just doesn't make have we've got to get through the next couple days. To just make sure everybody's healthy and as you know bill bill will be on the same footage -- have to announced the roster. I don't think you have to do it until the morning of the game you play. So and again that's changed a couple of times but I think it's like Peter -- of the morning of the game you play at willow for. How Nick Green come through his workout he's actually working on right now and I know -- taped. He worked out 330 anything grumbles will be interest is Selig knows. And by Tim Wakefield last night. Had a rough outing but he he's seem to be more than okay before that bond was he today became available open jump grocery -- more great to overrule encouraged about that. You know it's tough on him will see it. He he's able to compete because he's got a big part. You -- he doesn't have both of his legs so even the velocity on his knuckle balls down. -- and when they start bonding or swinging months just feels position or change directions it's hard for will know that we we appreciated -- for a guy is really difficult.
It was strange situation tonight to playing the Indians and that. Eric Wedge was so good friend of many of -- that is managing with his staff even though they've all been told them. They're going to be let go in the season -- that's gotta be really difficult.
Yeah and actually just hung up with a moment ago. I also know the people who work there a market Chris we're with the organization. There was -- I wasn't -- with a must post but there was a reason they did at the way they did it it wasn't to be harmful I guarantee you that. You know that the the whole coaching staff is is there's going to be some turnover. I'm sure was done with a lot of caring and in a classy way. People always gonna take some shots or whatever you do but I can guarantee you it was done with a lot of with a lot of thought in mind.
While certainly. He should be. An eventful series in terms of what you wanna do getting ready for next week and then discounting goes on. You know so much about the Angels so. What do they look for.
Well again organizer grind -- they do a good job on this is important meeting whittled down play that I love it. They've been after me what Dave we've been going back and forth it's an exciting time a year and it's exciting. For a lot of reasons besides the fact of playing one best teams in baseball and we've -- we're in the playoffs. But these preparations. It was fun for us too because we have a good organization and our coaching staff we relies. On these guys and we don't hesitate to admit that we like that is they give us good stuff to elect and I took it to -- back view.
