Manager's Show

Thanks so much John Terry let's start with John Lackey last that is certainly turned in an exceptional performance. In what I imagine must've been a very emotional environment for him even for a guy who pitched in so many big games in his career. I think you're he's Tampa where restore I think you have seen him pitch but. Return into place Frito law's success will work as a team and you obviously long memories he seasons. Human nature you wanna. Pitch well play well. And he's a pretty. Pretty emotional on the mound anyway so there was a lot of you'd like these podium. And where he left off Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon picked right up. Especially -- who worked out quite a bit about the foreign Kaman and a nice clean inning for what's really encouraging is out through -- and 24 pitches maybe 25 like before. But it was an inning -- there. And he came on yesterday and sometimes I think actually work helps his -- the play was good balls crisp could split. Not try to over power ball in the in the rule would be effective. And -- one of the things you talked about frequently is the ability to at all one. In that something you've been able to do here the last couple of nights and gotten into the gamble and and spread it out just enough to make at least a little more comfortable and any time against this team you can take away home race. Where to one run game you know they're gonna pinch run they're gonna Ron. And if you can take the union rule out. J. D. Drew was a late scratch yesterday and what can you tell us about -- at this point. About this for the game -- just couldn't get left him -- we took him out we're kind of scramble. And fast. We're trying to get him MR -- this morning. While on the West Coast before we head back home. You know your little bit at the mercy you team sold hopefully -- get done. And -- kind of see the best way to go off until then Kumble. Victor Martinez right back in your lineup day game after night game must mean he's doing all right he's right away you know we're coming off the last -- plane tomorrow. Oswalt -- in the mornings and he'll give all our. And we told -- who's comfortable lord but -- show Israel. Ask you about -- Lowrie and how he's. But it just in the second base and -- a position he played. In his collegiate career but not a whole Lotta the Major League level and yet seem like he was in perfect position and a ground ball up the middle last night the one -- driving him in a -- play. He did make a nice play it's probably the infield was his -- at least you know and but again were asking guys to do some different things we're trying to make it work. Because we have some injuries. He can -- news that a couple times you know huge key hits and he made the plays -- and so -- and do. I guess it's a similar story we've been talking about it all year long I mean it goes back to Darnell McDonald who came in at the last minute last night smoked a couple balls up the gap. -- steps and we really hadn't talked about a little long time he got a long list of guys that are really done it for this year and more than max double in the -- drew a walk -- he from professional bouts. We have a couple of innings where we have two quick outs and we'd extend the inning even when we didn't score it helped. Drive Weaver's pitch -- confused and especially if left handers off speed pitches. It just keeps the guys on the heels so much and he throws a fastball in Koreans makes it more better pitches way. Now he strikes out a lot of guys lots of swings and misses and you look at the way he handles lefties this year he's good against right he's he's really good against lefties even with a funky delivery. That's what I think if you just look at him at everything okay he's aware right now and you actor lineup with lefties. And you look at the numbers and the complete opposite and a lot of -- You got Josh go for you today and Beckett had a very good return in his first start. And I imagine you really can't expect a whole lot more but he must be looking to build. I think you've always spoken to build. -- only -- ever happy with you know five days Eagles five days ago hold different. Counsel deferred a formidable which obviously. We wanna -- ago about ago or -- a little bit short with happened -- but a couple days in a row so after a small people. Violated a road trip wraps up today as it felt like the long ten game road trip that I think it has rely on of those Red Sox fans sustainably within. It's it's been a long trip you know that the days of the four day. You know -- as -- or you'll feel too much anymore -- for four. It's been awhile because of the home good luck today with -- soon. -- the studio -- John Ryder.
