John Lackey, Red Sox P

Come again try to get some time didn't even asking that the captaincy that much on those sniffles if you are being nine -- audience it if you wanna what do soccer. Why wouldn't you take two X. Players Red Sox players like you Maloney and you -- -- would you put them on the media to do you remember the media right now why wouldn't put you -- Let's if I -- -- I find -- article want you put a bunch of you know fat Ascent Media does not. But bring your don't know why there rapidly there we would play over certain guys they probably wanna check up done and I walk away and not the shortstop -- held in jail -- I want -- -- -- -- -- not Robert. Talking about -- he had a jam the other night -- hitter. In his performance he's now three and one of the season and he joins us live with a full line right now Red Sox pitcher John Lackey just how you doing today. You know what I thought all right that you didn't get step media game over there at the federal today did you now. I that is guided by -- half hour. I -- he gambled and apparently the Red Sox -- media versus the Yankee media the Red Sox media gets spanked like apparently your eyes again how on the only six to three or something like that in your eyes have been bleed in the peace alligator apparently. That and as. We wish you try to sort -- -- Actually just -- Rid us of these -- they've got no heart they gave up on the right don't write a storm blog about -- I don't. Let me ask you that the true story here did you get a little. Extra chuckle a little bit more satisfaction out of the last not just the game you -- but the last four year. It was fun map for sure definitely. -- reflect you know you wanna be two boys but positive thing you know it's like being back home and you know play well we get local all the backyard. You might be France Britain you'll win those games vote -- is very. How much summits Nolan those guys helped you ought to CME Brandon Wood. Kind of help he's been struggle initiate takes you out but demean the other guys and -- had success against it the knowledge to claim what I don't know. Lot you can -- a way that's obviously a little to -- let the good -- but the month. What -- The one you want that went back and sure. No doubt for sure but. Pelvic upheld Goodman doesn't -- they would it would dances. That really matter you know who we're playing against Estrada try to block that out and just make pitches they went. How hard was it does your first game back against them and you had -- -- buckland said but it on like Lou and myself we've played we have many X teams so. Your first time we met angels here at had to mean something more right. Officer a little bit those of a more so when I'm looking back club -- Mostly guys that -- you know that I stumbled -- -- let you know that bears that Garret Anderson those kind of guys that they've been gone you know we'll. Bet backed group of guys that really platelets per year to so troop build morsel like that the Jersey you know most come -- -- -- against more than the guys. Until then probably yeah. Listen. Mike butcher -- Kosher. -- China and missiles. And they go let's -- laid out what that you think happened a white. Didn't they make a more aggressive pitch to you I mean look at their pitching right now I'm sure they'll be fine in the long run that meant. They are kept pitching staff is struggling what are they make a more aggressive it's do you have any idea why. I -- it run enemy don't don't. They've they've definitely you want the state but. It's I Obama -- that they've. Kind of been now live last year's but let a lot of guys. You know kind of got to walk after they got three agencies so. But I it was it will easily. A disproportionate. No they don't put her to really quality organizations and let appears on -- work but them. We should -- -- obviously they were willing to pay the money that the Red Sox were. Willing to pay into that disappoint you because I mean there's market value -- there. There are also the monies from the same honestly. It'll -- so. But might again next year over year to the community got a deal but. It was. I create house I was a situation where I had two great options and and that's just -- -- here from my. Why it's you know was kind of after it was decision and so we wanted to challenge it wanted to come boot -- up and La. Let sinister in the last four days I was amazed at seeing offensively especially. Other difference of one guy missing one guy Shawn figgins it's almost like that took the identity of this team you don't see the aggressors on the bases you don't see the first to third nine open up -- well. I was amazed how much they Miss -- Officer GAAP figures you've -- users -- a lot of things. And that and it -- -- I've borrowed their tribe you know fill that role but he had so little bit more you know cut of a hacker as opposed. That you it takes more pitches give more walks. But we do a good job keep an eye off the bases that that that gives lots access in the series. Concede -- got to try to do that now for the you know kind of ignite things on the base that dust or stuff. A lack you know we talked on nine you've been here's what five or six weeks now. Have you felt the dummy how much different can you explain to the fans disorders like -- embossed in a -- West Coast. It's the difference is this. I don't know we're talking about it in the club up of the united. It's a different five every night Matt -- over very -- -- more laid back you know. Eating sushi and crap and get the span of these people -- you know have a dog appears ready to get after it and who it's bought. You you you come over here Boston in the everybody knows you have a chance to win when you win here it's it's great you everywhere you go while people are saying Heidi you you noticed everywhere you've signed. Coming out here go on at the dinner. But this first month of the season the new guys you -- guys on this team that was kind of eye opening to see the reaction are these fans. And how quickly can turn and out quick it's released this guy get rid of this guy this team is a mass was echoed by opening for you right away. Officers especially I don't stop what we're gonna deal with David amid. As much suspect has built this organization knows those kind of eye opening this -- you know as many people turn on -- as soon as did so quickly those kind of kind of crazy but they'll it is -- this metallic kind of knew which side and up political opener. Yeah I heard you take care business meeting of the Yankees they'll all be back out problems among the changes that are corporate do you love. Do you think big guys maybe had a little bit of difficulty were talking earlier about the scooter -- comfortable he seems now the last couple weeks. I don't think he looked comfortable out there in the first three weeks do you think when you get into a different situation. It's gonna be a familiar surroundings. You that you get scrutinized and everything you do do you think there's a little bit more. Pressure that may be you the -- you know you get that pressure get to you. I don't know up I mean a figure as a as a infielder I know he was get used to playing surface. Regalia yes there's video to get used to but. That I think you know those guys are pretty laid back guys in their. And they play the game the right way on the field but I -- couldn't really see you know that stuff like that keeps them honest with. -- you guys was too crazy. And did you guys have as much you to the studio here. With a cut outs on on the feel 'cause every field now is putting you know different -- what night it is what day it is different cut -- and -- that drive me crazy and shoot a -- about it yet. I think these are guys -- -- -- out of moment now I think that was definition enough for the new guys -- I listen to pass the -- that infield back then was received one of the worst enemy -- Robbie -- to come the second -- dropped to one neat feeling at second base. It's never integrated field Dave's done -- a good job making it better. You know but it's always a work in progress but they always what some type of emblem of something not -- field estimates of -- out there directly to sub sonic coach of the crazy -- -- black -- near ground -- -- genuinely these guys behind you feel good. Well for sure got. The dual gas -- go to Dubai because it's definitely come -- you know pitch to contact -- try to get ground balls I've discussed -- -- weren't sure. Did they still do this to -- they'll go. That the Dave Miller or any of the the grounds crew guys and say you know we Lackey pitching tonight can we have the grass you know. Slower faster whichever way you want -- is there any of that stuff ever happened -- Out of I've never heard it's out of me and maybe you know maybe there are people that who -- but yeah I've I've never heard it either of them the -- great that's you know that's my business. Concern and the -- amount -- so I opted to go. That does that wall ever affect you did you do you ever think about. Looking over your shoulder and it's all freaking close. When you first couple years really you have -- over the last few years appears pretty good years and that I think has become. Partly because I quit thinking about it just you have pitch you still had a patient side you gotta. He got it he stood abused both sides of the plate can't be concerned about you know -- the -- -- Let your your emotional guy you see on the mound and in early in this year has been a couple of occasions it's of people call ups -- any -- Spent some plays in the field behind you to have worked out in the camera is always on you and we see that reaction from you. Do you talk to those guys about it and say you know not necessarily get on you it's just me as a guy or or are you get in on them. -- -- -- -- Obviously Tara must -- that is a part of our hospital but it would bill. A lot of time probably young of a self matters it of one and everything but. It -- it's it's never. Never you know personal been -- anything like that uses. Just bit you know -- be fired up a little bit not pay it. Those guys understand that we don't we talk about that sort of thing that you never wanna wanna -- receivers sure. You love. I know he obviously. You're you're planning to run game but do you guys when you're not pitching you watch what the Yankees are doing do you watch with a -- do it's early in the season. -- we keep looking at the race -- playing on the road for most of his time. And it what order and 112 -- one of the road their pitching is a phenomenal. The starting staff is an earned run average of just over 2.5 -- or something like that you watch this and say how they keep on doing it every night. I mean. This to give Iran -- don't plan -- 162 games have developed Dodik told eventually and hopefully we're hot at that time you know. You just got to keep grounded out keep working and then keep playing the game and bail me. I'll watch sports that are stuff you're not a fan of basketball and you know -- -- the greasy baseball highlights of the flow of where you know of what's going on but. Well we're disputed concern ourselves playing better baseball would get to recruit players not to dispute as they have in the. That it's been a week basically of sweeps I mean you take Toronto -- go on a Baltimore feel good about yourself you get swept their income backing sweep Anaheim. It's kind of like that roller coaster but this this four game stretch a little bit different -- some guys offensively really come out yet some solid starting pitching. It and wouldn't say and it you know it's just kind of a matter of time because this too much talent here and then some it's been under performing. -- this the blasters was great force if we -- games in different ways you know bill we that we had. We have two guys were -- on the bats well then we its united group -- pitched pretty well so. It to be able to win games in different ways this is going to be a big help -- in the long run. You the feeling knowing you looked at that pitching rotation. Early on that you know Lester is have a little bit of trouble and packets have a little bit -- show that you look at it and say there's no way. We're gonna go through the entire season where a staff this good. Is is gonna struggle. -- and every I had never had a doubt about that sure of those guys two good track records and had done to -- business. In this league to two -- for long -- and obviously so you know Lester is that -- times -- he was. It if you let people know he's going to be fun. They lack tell -- -- anchors Tom Tom can you sense a different field for tonight and you -- your in the balls we -- -- you'd love to be involved in the cost structure. It and it's always on the ticket in the movies kind of properties and you know. It's it's like like up to -- or so force -- in -- playoff -- shall we -- these kind of things. Like the angels amazed when your back down on -- Yeah I run. And I. Obvious like us so hard with guys that like so we got some day disaster about it like you know look like and spoke like like you know warm won't go put the Dodgers -- -- let. Other be -- that a couple times -- -- -- Mike did call you know it's is that we differ. And tonight you get both of these Celtics. The Bruins and Red Sox all played at 7 o'clock so. Yeah actually yeah yeah. Hold on -- oh club optical. Everywhere you apparently have a video -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Bordal Beers any night they don't need that only three games the use deficit and excuse you say you followed basketball. You'd think LeBron earlier. -- -- scholars complain a lot of -- noble -- If you're -- picture of my month embodies about computers out. -- Let -- and as you less -- there was an incident how do you guys you guys talk about the taser incident. Yeah Leo we -- left -- -- you about a little purple shirt and. I think seventh inning -- Damon. I think it does I think you do you could take up to the ball game and a new taser fuel them I think it discredited agenda at. Treatment -- didn't -- -- facilities -- wrote an account you can you know. That that that's it you're under whatever he can you're gonna get you. -- Is this day and age. Wouldn't you be a little bit concerned an annual -- you probably didn't think much of that this is some strong kid who's innocent too many to drink it. He's gonna come out there are gonna follow this as before he even gets to me. But this day and age now where Monica Seles got stabbed in what we're we're looking at it everything is going on in the world their their you know their their. A vacuum waiting Times Square again today. Is a professional athlete to sit there on the dude gives out of the stands and say -- always looks better gotten days. Yeah after -- got -- to not make him. Have you seen a guy take brought on the field a Yankee Stadium. -- well there's been a few times they take mob that walkway in I'd rather be today is among those guys as the Internet but. No no gonna do today. We're we're we're heard referred stories did you know all the old runaways of the old Yankee Stadium that you thought on the on the on the side of the wall that was ketchup. The was rejected and -- hot dogs and cats now. I gotta believe the players are talking about the stays or because Obama bomb. If Philadelphia animal plants and -- it's about time they just go around them until next on he wanted to be days of paneling. -- -- when first minister step it up. Maybe you never know. You know. It was a father and son team if you remember. India unilateral. Yeah that it was a -- right right. I don't in Kansas City right now scary it's scary to skiers. I job thanks for joining us once again did not continue -- good -- with a season and our lack -- and John Lackey from Fenway Park court break we're back -- -- -- Louis -- you know.
