Peter Gammons, ESPN

I bet you're the big -- blood or -- Steve Buckley as soon. Overloading of the Friday edition of the big show after a two terrific. World Series game is all -- May be some questions about the umpire called a lot of that once again. Because of the technology that we have a joining us live I would take it he's now in Philadelphia as our body from ESPN -- again --

Yes I am a Philadelphia 100000808. Miles up quickly did you do it. It was slightly -- came -- Bobby got fired Karl rappers more so. It should it try to highlight actually via Xbox in our you know. The stuff on the -- Out. I would like to go -- drug problem.

Whatever -- the trends -- problems right to do that -- there's a strike possibly the multi. All the events going on this weekend could be some. Some problems. Get in one place other.

All four teams are playing lost Rogel all four nations -- Without its gonna be a trade.

That it Leo Boris what ESPN it is but ESPN's get a helicopter for your rights -- worry about that. I look let me ask you this question Charlie Manuel is about said that the Joe Blanton pitches in game four. -- it looks like maybe the best pitcher on the planet right now Cliff Lee goes one of five or maybe if it goes seven he can pitch a few innings in game seven. On the other hand CC sabathia goes -- the floor and possibly starts in game seven an advantage now for the Yankees.

I don't know I mean I guess I still think that. This is serious from incited by the church brigades. In the seventh they can -- actually -- it is three times. On three days' rest. I don't know you know I think if they're among the pitch count up maybe it will change shirts in the -- and up. Now that'll become Joba Chamberlain Phil Hughes -- So I I don't -- I picked it Charlie score on the hook or is not that -- that's all. All they're better off caricature great ancient Arab and they're winning toward initial well on the line and I think in his audience. They're all levels applause curve ball again -- when it straight.

Peter you know we look at Mariano Rivera who has got to start his career guys -- have gotten all look at Pedro Martinez and he turned into a different guy to this guy does not give all how much longer can he keep going. Two innings and it's amazing. What he does.

Reality it's a greater police -- Joe Girardi got a great job -- in in September. Which. Not they were ahead by so much you ever -- and repair a lot of rest. -- that's very important but last I was strange I -- their -- on a second most useful and here's in church -- isn't oil zealots. That's what I'm gonna go if you hack should do this. Fortuyn's series it is if you don't want this well but they'll accept border. -- all political -- question -- Alomar for broken -- 2001 table well we'll -- Bill Miller this trip coming up until.

Peter -- and I had a long talk about the year we we are trying to. Figure out what Pedro is smile was all about. My opinion the smile when he walked out the -- was him saying. You know you people can -- we are you want but I just pitch my ass off tonight given my age. I'm Hall of Fame pitcher I'm really proud -- would put it in words what you thought but just up all our I had got. The I kind of thought that the Yankees the fans and everything brought so much out of Pedro to elevate his game in that atmosphere may be realizing you know what. I just wanna take the whole moment in. And and it just the last time on a big stage Yankee Stadium and I think he just kind of walked off and just. -- laughed it off like you know I count -- might miss this someday.

Are great and I think it was also lapping at the fans were standing up. The -- is what you're not screaming obscenities at a bit of -- and they'll pick up a lot of different facial got huge. They never quit no one's gonna do but. I it was frustrating in the moment they -- that he likes being arch villain. They don't hold Alberta -- probably around -- support picture in our ever pitched eight innings of work but. A regular circuit at all and I agree.

Probably yeah. But it was a guy is covered baseball for a thousand years erupted a last night watching Pedro Martinez me. I've Hussein is he is one of the truly great pitches have been recovered -- played with a guy Glenn knows them. You kind of feel little saddest thing was seen with seen the end of this great pitching here.

Well. Yeah I mean I've idolized and combatants -- are not.

You may but don't kid you can't assume he's gonna make you know World Series started took -- X number used nobody threw back this year but at some on the big stage -- Lebanon a lot more than he has been. -- you are always second World Series start.

And I just remember. George Bobby Cox -- articles and 99 bracelet player also to -- watch the clout game. Because the Sox fans never go to the concessions since when Pedro estrogen only go to concessions there were about soccer in. And he's the only picture her receipt of -- stroke and shopping nah I'm going all day yes it could be easily can -- different things but it's such a -- of thought and -- even. That's just danced on and -- slept well -- there was a feeling in New York. Thought -- there watching this special spot. It on the Yankees beat in -- they've they've lost -- in the postseason.

You're a guy that talks an awful lot with the Mikey box and Ohio offices with Major League Baseball. As they look at the halls here over the last three weeks including a couple more last night. Do you think it brings them closer to finding some type of instant replay some way of using the technology. To get it right.

You know it's not that tough but surely is out. He's against budget if he can insert it something else we're capitalists really embarrassed. It's like you get in 28 he's like the twins Bob and many people what we're watching Joe while it altered what he'll want but or react. -- couple years ago. The general managers of the general manager's meetings. Provided a very clean -- proposal for its reckless it was really good. -- and armed. Aren't sure what took John Schuerholz always essentially without strict restrictions Sunday nights -- terrible calls and a long calls. They are public reaction -- unpretentious replay now -- those results just. So what actually is a carpet and there's -- that the -- position in a public opinion the special special is leadership this out.

What is a year against here because if you look at and I know baseball is probably the most traditional. Of the big time sports and yet you look at how technology plays. Into every team every organizations. Working on various things whether it's machines for batting for pitching whatever whether it's computerized stuff whether it's using. You know of the tons of video to break things that. Technology. Has changed the game when you go back to when you for first came on the beat and see how simple that game was played -- different it's it's it is today. Why would you be opposed to when the game has changed dramatically here in the last point 530 years.

I don't know I can take -- supervisors. Jim McKie Eric Garcia -- the apple are up on it it is not a L off the post ought to walk or in the broadcaster -- and we. Get rid dual plane. Straight by restrict science being given a page here and answer as -- and certainly sometimes when you just can't help. I'll bet that that's fine but. It takes less time to do that happened -- very running around on the field and managers or perhaps. Not abated I think it makes sense as just. No a lot of times there are some people based although we think that if they'd have trouble with the idea they'll post. But -- within a year off a couple of years to change.

Peter I know anybody can -- alternate two bad games but when you're Alex Rodriguez even though you've been so dominant the first two series. That looked last night I saw that look of kind of insecurity trying to convince himself again that he's okay he's all right everything's gonna be fine but how important is it for this guy to kind of finish up strong have a good World Series and kind of change that little -- that perspective of people. But did you know they -- people have about him.

Let's find if you had the true it could best player or baseball or tertiary. And -- is not. I want to get -- those. The Phillies a picture where in the crater or -- went in and out buried in the audience like quarter -- it would hopefully. They are at it it takes more than two gamespot that the -- Mitnick used the -- straight Cole Hamels goes out and -- regarding. It is capable being really good old -- restrictions on the that you need Kindle balances during the gulf war for Alex. And it is about to -- while they -- you -- like you're -- that you can't. -- somebody who just can't help out like it would -- on that's sure the World Series yet 81 like ultra 21 point. You're saying how are really ways are there. Now it's. If you can't help cutting it out.

Peter I've known. Charlie Manuel since he was in Toledo in the eighties and was -- Minor League Baseball always the big -- effects guy. Always the lieutenant minor league manager. Just happy to be on the roster player play five years in Japan. Doctor Edwards is hitting coach in Cleveland it's only -- in the last few years he's exploded in the prominence yet hasn't changed him one bit you agree with that.

Our actual charge on my favorite sons and a great -- you'll get it's I was sliding about Charlie. And facilities that relationship -- And that one -- I was sliding about how Charlie. Understand he's got electric wires at 70 yeah and that they scared alone but it is terrible -- and then next amicable rules. You have to understand that there out of others. So obviously the process of letting it -- all right Philly Pete who played for Charlie it lately I got up this warranted. Portland Oregon in nineteen played -- 87. And Soriano blows are expressed and other sources said vessels huge thing reduction. Each one really unchanged at Clark broke that Charlie was short all -- relatively secure Arabic you're drawn like a bullet in regards while.

Yeah I spent a.

You're a teacher you can eat about a not starting the waters where -- at the plate and it is -- the countless today at Albert you'll take the bat out of hand. Got to best player I've ever. It'll take the that are Chase Utley hands and I -- told outdoors uncle Joe Morgan about. -- trouble lottery on poetry out arms shall we are pictured in in the fortnight of these children are Walter Charles still. Courses straw -- for money. Basically saying about ignition and but -- city is great player. Players really like it and LA also respect the fact that went. Up their fortuyn's the last two years bomb went here gobbled up over the edge -- urged. And it's so it if the -- heavily tribute bench. And the other -- If BP understand it's not personal oppression. -- outpatient surgery in our initial -- Williams. I really enjoy -- and I you won't -- I was going out. We'll certainly like it cycles where follow up cargo ballpark like known -- watch it. Getting big deal with them and you know he's he's quite there was Jim Williams and Barry Bonds is one of the most tortured people on the subject to any another --

I Peter terrific stuff we'll talk to next week next week we'll also -- some Red Sox offseason is on the Christian warrior. Now the San Diego some interest -- stuff we begin we needed to that's what's always great talking -- you enjoy Philly. The creator culture the culture and -- somewhat emotional subway system inevitably get. Overrated the prices are just that is sort of visual Arctic cat like an advantage is not -- that -- not only did not Philadelphia live up to their notes to Brent -- noticeably anyway that they didn't do. That Boston -- a lot of them. You know -- not so we did the only local whole public transportation. System -- they -- have -- and it's a unilateral illegal under underground a government that it's really nice to ban books but it's -- market auction -- overload is announced we'll take a quick break be -- accurate prediction.
