David Ortiz, DH

Joining us -- from a -- Is David Ortiz mr. Ortiz valued today.

They had -- also.

You know I would just hanging around here you know trying to figure out what's going on the trade deadline you know you have any ideas.

Quote who. Why -- so long -- it is reviewed at a remote.

Why. Are you just searching -- You win a home run you win the home run derby. You obviously have turned everything around in the last couple of months you were really reflected here. Recently about this. Lot of people talk lot of people came up with different series. George theory why did you have difficulty -- last season. End this season getting off to a good start and then suddenly whim -- back to the old David Ortiz. --

A sign of things but upbeat but. Out of the game but I had. That you well because things. All. In it renders them whether they don't want that I or follow it. In awe of or there or what part of -- group of people out by. And that -- I would never -- of -- people. Low and then out of these and they. In other. There's that resulted in that you're -- that part of it this. -- What things that I -- Was. These evil when you're the first part of it.

Do you have to approach it differently next -- you look at these two years and say. To yourself maybe I have to have a different approach going into the season.

I don't know yeah. I mean are. They won't let. What is it written but I I guess people are. --

Do your -- they did we've we've talked level last year in the first couple months you kind of finally were like you don't want them. I'm just gonna go -- play -- isolate the sick literally went forget about the numbers -- don't have some fun and stop cared so much about you know. Appeal but my numbers are right now did that that experience help you in early enough -- we'll get it going. You know at at least in May after the tough stuff stock.

Development LeBeau realized. The look back. -- If we. Expect their. -- Ortiz -- correct view of The Who have physical. Oh tiger figured -- out well is not a fact but. People only or. Up quite so it doesn't work right or beltway. And I gotta get it was not work that way. And it at all. -- is that it is. You work into it and that book and movies and music that was all you see one out. As of etiquette of Obama for -- let you in April -- via their here won't quote was about or. Oh what was the point of oil or. Oh. All day upon his oh let that it was. You know they would have -- an old age of personal -- is no matter what they're both the uniformity. It may have thought well let's. Oh -- it over. While it might -- if you -- here. It's been great let go of it I think the -- in the bottom of the quickness. That place. Great that people might say whatever happened. By not like of.

Didn't didn't think all the people I thought to be honest with yet. I thought on hold people were very supportive and I think they were supportive because. It was you know and I think people like Q. I said this many times I was guilty of of of doing it as well where somebody else I probably would have been far more critical. I think that we wanted you. To do well and yet I almost got the feeling that you felt that you were betrayed the people did. Turn their back on you that they gave up on yeah I mean let's face it David and the the manager was the one that. That that you know. Would -- human instant and and pinch hit for -- so that was that the fans that wasn't the media doing I thought people were really supportive.

I've never. Both respect. The fans in my home or order. They want I think it why it is not open up followed value earned. Number that you -- that -- not -- in oh there you go wrong that bad. Pick up pace of the money he earned the fact the -- or belittle what. They were cute guy years. It'd be. In the white vote and that's what you're saying that. But they thought you know the -- in -- up. -- Or order oh in the problem it -- not like you that a lot of play here. But the fact that they edit the old order. They -- you know we want. That we -- Well before -- that -- all you all want it is that I heard that everyday. That I let it let that. By it it was it was on the new everyday. Not even our whole. Evening. -- it -- that the players hurt. So what I think it was for the rest -- quite.

Edit it and they are low. It. -- I think of that luck. If they don't it is but so it -- And I think. I work every day. -- All that bat I'm not a guy that as automatic as that as it might say well it is but it. I -- five. Or life be. Back on what they think that. There. You know I think.

David did you use that when when you heard it in the media when you heard from reporters when you heard it for maybe some fans did you use that as fuel. I did that had to get yourself going but when you were struggling a little bit in April.

But you up. I got it proper way of the other end of -- about.

If argue that it it was.

What it was that. And it -- bumping. I don't wanna. He Ottawa. Like. I got that back as if -- article old. Erratic all that is though it is. People on the that he -- is that simple what you've bought. Every day it's been we think they'll think oh well out of people what what we we -- what to -- Read it if we didn't have about eight.

What did that that that didn't make a lot of sense at the time and obviously people come up with with you know.

Look at what went over that right now of that book let.

I I. -- I understand I. I understand you being emotional about your proud guy and you're right you earned. What you've got in this town the respect you got in this town I do disagree with you that maybe that was one reporter here there I think on the whole. I actually think that the media in this town was pretty wimpy. In that you weren't producing and I thought they had your back I thought the big they would do you think you. That that that extra breathing room. To try to get it back together again because they wanted you to get it back together because they like Q and you that are in that respect now maybe I missed something.

area that would make him and make a point. I'm not saying innovative. Every day that vote that -- than a guy. What -- saying on the field but they have my vote for me I'm not pocono while everything. Certain Barrett that that. -- like to visit. You've probably heard of that date back make back volume. I know. --

They're thought of as big. Basically that was it. What is going down. And it. I don't. -- lately 01 day I -- my whole life. I -- don't want. And a by that want -- anyway. If that. You want it right. Back. You know. And -- nobody votes so we as a unit active. -- ago. I don't play that you work you're. Cool with 21 up so. -- what you wanna be. -- whatever you want it now what night. It. You know what --

tell me I said you know.

But in this game. That is -- If they got -- offered. Late in the -- it they're all in it what. Awfully thin at the I think I thought it -- the -- These. It's not like it up. You know it's not like okay in the Braves -- related. --

Five already this year yeah.

You know bet the company that I've I've I've sat out game -- got a bush won't vote yea you know it. It's about the game though.

I I hear I hear what you're saying you'll also spent a lot of time in this town in you know the one. Of the things that makes. It's such a great baseball town and great Red Sox town is that every single pitch every single pop pop pop up. Everything is scrutinized. And that's because people have a great passion for the game and when a player doesn't play well -- that they're they're critical. And when a player does wonderful things and you've done a lot of those over the years. I don't think -- you can find more support. Then it any other town and I and I think that that goes with a lot of the -- all of them I agree with. There's some good that the have a contrarian. Approach to work to their business. But on the whole.

I didn't. I think.

You know.

This topic -- what I perk can't go by it was great group of -- My first week where -- all. -- It was there. I was but I. -- And the.

What. If I always always be an awful lot of -- might want -- It. A lot of if it is saying that you. That we aren't for the rest -- or. In the -- on. Your goal what we have all. We're -- a game or why oh. I don't.

I don't let -- Are. Late game as lightweight. Was it. But while. I don't like it was but it won't be BC. Oh well yeah. -- I don't. He's. It. -- or is always the whole impeccable but more like back in 97 Morrow developed by way out of our. Apparently -- remember that people would say it that I think that the.

What that did. Entering that home run. Entering that home run derby. Knew that extra special feed you going that's and you won't win just like DC was talking are about that chip sitting -- show guys -- still got that pop I consider that the ball long long way.

I don't know what. -- involved Korea. If you don't believe that I would mark or Eric of these. But. -- Know whether. That. I work every day now. Watch that I would say outlaw or thing. Ewing back -- what you. Thought well what. That it is not bought into what it would open they don't. You know upbeat is that -- game that you need that. They have it in play. And walk away you. Don't think it would what about what with what you want they.

last week last week David you said that you would like to finish you career with a Red Sox and you'd like to play for few more years would you be disappointed. It's a Red Sox came do you wind just picked up that one year option. And didn't have a conversation with you about a multi year extension.

Nobody on that you know it is. Is on in. Of these -- Or what what what it. But I can't say you know. The guys that I. A lot of things. -- bat thing. -- By my main. Main thing is. As good as it -- that there's. So that -- unit or. They go well. Somewhat. You know it. Are -- or -- Get it done. I would I would it but I think if I don't I don't I don't Oakland. And I say it or.

Yet they. You I see. -- the book -- Or they'll -- It'll feel -- a lot of very. Oh are. All. It is that. I mean -- the low. The game I know what -- I thought it gave my game better. The only thing I do is work work work work every day. Not that might -- back way. I've got -- if I -- I want people. You know.

I don't put words in your mouth but it it it sounds like what you're saying is that you wouldn't necessarily feel. That comfortable for or only one year but if you were. Playing on a one year deal again. It.

All we have -- what is the time it was very. Over the matter.

I don't know the Red Sox money and you know you want to help yeah how -- but.

Well I. I can we let's be -- that if you're looking at in -- CEO and I'm looking at some of the other guys right now. Then a -- dear god. Went to Texas in the off season one year was it six million dollars Vlad Guerrero having a terrific year like you -- very very good year. I'm looking at some of the guys that have been signed like down on short term deals. Doesn't look like teams are giving 1213. Fourteen billion dollars. For guys who designated hitters right now I mean that's just the marketplace.

All. I really thought you are that. Another vote if it bet. Well I've got that number -- that. You know almost here. They've been injury is being in the help many of in late in their great great you know. That you update it out of it now you know. Well let -- gladly. Play or you're round like you normally do. Inevitably make it that money -- that it's about what got it right what you know is. It was about remote or you're glad you. In that we want -- it back back. What it will be playing everyday we went that. But I think that Utley mediate like -- many. It was a view and a market. I know what it. We have BA it was a let the other in that. Oh -- If that is the case. Glad it was that BA but it would help the -- By the -- Oh BA. Or an out what --

Now you write about that most teams are moving guys around the DH spot -- ask you David. About this team right now this -- you got guys comin' back. And ever since Manny last year people always ask you are there enough hitters around you is there enough offense here on Nightline last night when you carry this offense with a couple home runs. When you get everybody back. Are there enough hitters around you to make this a team that can make a run at the plants.

All I -- I -- Orlando. As one of the -- plateau. Live on -- made it isn't over or but it goes. What it right when. Oh. Or wrong. Or why. They. Like you know what we're allies felt. This oh. As a result that we had a it was the way. Out of a lineup. I think just.

But but there have been times in the power of David Williams said yeah we need to go get another bad you don't think that's the case with this team because of the guys coming back from injury.

Back out there you know. Help. Always. -- You know as part yeah Omar Bravo. -- that we need help.

Gotta. -- I expect that we need the help. --

Month month month I would go with a right now. What was you know other -- Air. By. What ally and all of that and -- opening day and I you know.

It we Arabic or. It's always.

Oh did a lot of than most teams and a club -- no red round this time a year routes that didn't sit well -- be nice look around he showed teams at players you say you know. We could use the next Sierra front office just cool and help this ball club but I had the sense that. With everybody comin' back -- the quality players coming back you don't have that sense in the club also then I mean we we speculate on bullpen help put. You guys have that feeling like we get every -- gut.

A lot of that what you if -- economic and a whole morning it all the great that a lot and eat it or vehicles here. Or you know it. And -- brought up and everyone out. That -- it's -- that a lot of things that that a war rather lay that out. I think about -- not know what we. -- We. Would that was it. It up -- and -- You know but wouldn't it. I think that'll. -- And in. And I know that. You know. What they know what was it but I think with 50. Is that -- ain't. That's -- but it was that. -- and it is so I was. Fighting. -- We of but. Week. But. -- That week. In. The.
