Peter Gammons, ESPN Columnist

He is back with -- on the air right now this again and we are so thrilled at Peter Gammons back here on the fictional paid Eric.

Are you -- all the -- didn't take you out and I believed Condit that. I'll cut and I just wanted to make sure you still and it does if you know you need some help you know I -- back you know. I listened yesterday other of your approach you don't. -- Loney both warned us of this some -- group.

A bit ago and got another text message from Muqtada. So region although. I. Was just remember this period controller is true -- The out of.

I felt left him pretty amazing because both of these guys said yesterday now and none of us are griping because he did not cost. The game for either team last night but certainly those two calls at first base were very very strange.

There were -- or -- we really bad calls. Against Colorado in so well in check in the very closely across. Players that are okay -- result struck out both calls were a little bit difficult to make. Like those problems should be market work yes I don't know whether what you -- political propaganda. Now. What is it --

Yes I've been I was just wondering did you kind of explain to us how how do they pick is it's your seniority how to they pick the guys that -- gonna be -- the playoffs and in in throughout the ALCS and World Series.

Except there are some but it LC to a very much any -- trying to implement that (%expletive) people lot of others your -- basically what that little ones so. -- will outlast. The structure. It just. It. Too bad that there -- a better rating system in the best of players now are now understand I I appreciate. It. There are some players as well with eighteen. But still. -- Artest is Earl. Jones -- Iraq --

Well listen ago yeah let's say I elements. I also post let's say what do you think of his music and if you didn't get a -- you receded now. It. Which could happen in the out of an arrogant hot stove cool music and it's not -- It's like potted the next that you could bring in -- to a crowd -- All last night John Lackey would see the difference and that in -- game he just seemed to be so spot on last night.

I I think -- It could hurt there's a rope -- Oxford training and all people follow. Angels -- for a couple of changed provincial in the last five weeks so those last. That he was formally in injure thousands -- I'm. And and that packet so. Lacking in very -- acting as. Mr. little let's sciences you know mix salt sort of forget public debate of well also it now. -- right on the respect.

Well yeah. Now what are you surprised at the at the lack of offense and not only not getting much going off like you to really not threatening an audit and Sox never really -- put anything began last.

Not install -- so so much and I. I don't out of the Red Sox that they couldn't. They couldn't take pictures in it and it counts they're going manufacturer -- and what he's stopped it -- in order. Just leave it to Victor Martinez of Serbia while in the in the milk or it's. -- got a lot last. Breaking all. Yeah I probably wouldn't be any last so I can credit and to support Josh Beckett. Years ago and beat anybody in the pressures but it's -- much better team. I think this year mean for starters let's start at. 49 and 25 of them and any time Mateen can. -- it in aren't based. You know twenty points in one year. So that now that. 95 -- bring you 394. Under one through three quarters such a routine. Of what we've been looking out all these years -- it's. This is a problem for all -- But they'll also that the the I comparable bit complacent I -- really change that team I think apple personality. Is brought them and show tickets sold block. This -- Those are all little slider. Until -- have -- four.

Certainly under brings something those of those post game press conferences that's for sure. But the back of -- first for all of the conversation -- talk with dad about the aggressive angels. On the constant running and whatever game one is history now. And the people we're talking about the Red Sox top of the rotation it's the top of the rotation the angels that we're talking about today we're not talking about the running. Overrated eater or will the running play into the --

I pixel rate ever got -- actual bases in nine games are regulars against the Red Sox and and in the postseason -- ever -- they're very critical first to third or first of all. And Africa that are they it will take chances are. The whole soul -- and double let my when there were wild -- let's talk -- and we've a lot of us. Overreacted to all of the shall carry over the angels but I I don't quite so much that they are they can get on base but. How -- part for generations fuels Hillary forty paces every year there are dangerous period and what it what. Getting a great on. What mainstream without order we saw last. I've auditioned well aligned. Figure responsible. Markets that rape law what options seven -- you walk. And then there -- and -- now last August -- makes one mistake and hundreds are out at eight.

I don't like this offense I'd like this rotation by the security issue is that bull -- and the bright point these scares me but that will be the difference in the series the Sox didn't get to it last night. But you can you see Ervin Santana has been put out there now do you think that he's gonna play a key role listeners to.

I just thought -- I'll react I mean now he's not used to getting recharged now he -- couple -- what. Like Richard thirds innings and got a winning game five. In 2005 but let's get when you're working mean just separate. There're there're pulpit there -- I. October players talked about went face in the 2007. Rules years I've never reaching into. And it just seemed like Carol. And thank you want about the umpires and there -- here why. -- resting at night. It lost that. Game and all whining about what exactly strike call and it was great on after the game or saint. Sport to spot. A strange time. I and that's harder outbursts Abacha shut up -- up at all like. Sort of sense that the angels had a total one. It -- mimicking the Red Sox and -- right and so on -- at that time. Well like you touched down. Safely get out names in five. -- I think he could be trouble that's why -- it bibles -- Weaver is what change for you know behind me. As always while -- so will be -- C outlet that these out.

Peter it's it's Beckett tonight and there'd been speculation that this might be a game we see Jason Varitek catch obviously it's Victor Martinez. You know how seriously they were considering letting -- catch Beckett.

I helped the excerpts coming. The generations very -- it at duly earned a very good job but on. Watching this is hands are better than -- facts. You don't want flows so that's that's again and the other current interpretations scholar. Victor has incredible. Ups. And he should hike -- Or why regain it by -- I ain't. But I don't. Very I install C article hold dozens of Jason Varitek catching. Now Lester Beckett is. -- everything but I think its passage. And they have bought. But -- comes back as -- were captured I don't know but I think that notion in being.

Are we know the Beckett numbers in the post season we also know that he sent some back problems a cortisone shot here in the last couple weeks. And on top of that he's been a little shaky in his last few starts what are you expect from Beckett tonight in now. What suddenly become so close to the most -- certainly oppression game.

It'll be very -- the war. And.

I asked John Farrell -- well you know that that start. Ortiz it was a little shipment the first two innings worried about the what you realize okay then create it again these are getting his breaking ball. -- for getting stressed what. -- all out all but -- also I don't know I don't know. You know it is far and that is all on thoughtful guy but whether or not physically. -- property. Shall we just don't know it goes up Alec. Is that a lot air raid and sparkles. In Sri Lanka rated. So when they -- like -- market or it. It's. There is so unpredictable I I thought of all. -- series. Although. Doctors. About should I. Colorado or -- in -- let's talk with a series of which -- legal papers there's almost sit there ultimate power years. That there were sort -- impossible to predict. I shall you'll end up outlet but obviously package passed which will get back.

Red -- team has been here before it down one nothing. -- Yoshi don't really worry about them moving forward they've been there but the angels getting over that hump winning game one beating Jon Lester. Could that one game be the difference.

I actually a picture are you. Harder thing about being so outspoken. Nine games second faced dissension in under it about just shut up. -- And Russia for archery and -- one. That you are a reporter. Asia well that's -- in our hearts just try to rate at Angel should think that way. I. It's a little guys. Shall not so much that they need to win a couple of games and keep -- Editor personal. Like -- for about two outs I think that the Sox are issues. And that they have to eat some or all of that they are. Games -- elections -- more bombs are there are very. So. -- they don't. Think it's where. In the Red Sox -- can be one -- in and so there won't work. There will be very -- see other act and act and we now. Rick and got on every he's great at that are. On the from -- about. About social and argue -- partnership he should be it can't. Don't -- our. Electoral we. -- icing get more intense in Boston. -- losing in east coast teams as we now he -- the Red Sox shut off so. What. Should.

I was gonna ask you about that is that the the second game and I think you can getting into that you win the first game. I'm mature takes all the pressure off the angels but if they win game two in the -- here at Fenway Park or not. Suddenly the up all they're gonna close the -- could go one and one here. And then come to Fenway Park and also realize how good the Red Sox aren't here at Fenway Park the but it team written in this ballpark banana wrote. Not suddenly they could even feel more pressure with all of the so -- I don't -- it tonight may be that game. That would take that pressure some of that pressure off of.

Are you ever. Mean. If you ever predict what what's critical edible Weaver that you got that your. The -- We -- for the doctors situation I'm gone well at. First that we were like. -- the -- well only. The suspects also never. -- Would we are. A ballpark also but note that in mind -- So. That's interesting. I am I watching these two teams play. -- total -- your round and honor guard a lot of great people and very intense. -- And they've got young players on the belt. -- To watch play well I true. It has swept under by a lot of people. Like not to cheers and in Chile China parker about what we all. Angels beat I mean. The angels have to stop. To the press are you now he -- speed is aggressive actions. I mean he hasn't. Yes some patient -- times. A cricket very different and it'll help sort that out I mean. Okay so -- 18% of runners outlets are -- look. Out footage. It. Acts like he won't solve. That aren't true.

Peter Dice-K or last third of the goes to for which -- feeling on. Even if they're up two to one.

I'm saying is one in my parents -- there are now one illegal Lester back. Pixels -- games against the so much trust. There. I've been -- Oh at last night I thought that. -- there is. Huge count. Because Joe -- it was going to be a very tight so much. And one crucial early or -- pitches and I thought extended in such as situation. Wore out. Where are I think Lester back -- that's an open up.

Which you guys make errors on plays that are somewhat difficult. I think Matt Holliday feels today the ball -- right -- while.

Ought -- I was told that it is just disappear never saw lots -- machines chest by. Is. Talk about all baseball -- not in the -- my heart in. Such good guys -- and cared so much. Eighties were officer earlier this year saying aloha. If you issues as well. In the stands in coal where every night in order street Louis player. For the cardinals Red Sox here is -- cardinals and now that game his face. Look. It was source that. Is correct that error. Answer questions like fifteen niche and repeat itself but reminded me. There are. -- work with teams in their rookie development programs always toll -- but that secretary I thought that at. What the directory. And as a teen may editing a cleric recovered. All last minute there's hackers in -- in 1978. Or in the -- 88 or drinking age at 1990. At. Recount unpleasant all in his career for all paper every time last about that there are options in our last I doubt that.

Integrate talkin' to you again where happy were part of the family and we look forward to doing -- every -- with -- and not some great baseball stuff audience thanks. Ortiz of it to medianews.
