Jerry Remy

Welcome back fourth and final hour -- and give back your phone calls but first. Things first our manager and a red dog joins us on the pole on good morning red dog how aria.

Well John I had a very tough time but concentrate have a game get every that we had to set -- shot like if -- united front row that's pretty presidency.

Yeah not bad not else does is not what you know round dog it's who you know brother you know that yeah I have -- illustrator me you couldn't illustrated me. R rated R a that's ever siege out of him where it was at minute I happen. You have risks to -- and watch the end I watched that game -- has good peripheral watches the game a jury -- all due respect and taking nothing away from the Red Sox 14 runs and 14 hits. Based on the slop that weaver and woods and -- were throwing up -- where you were you compelled to grab a bat off the rack yourself yesterday.

I know I was but I devoted ended up up in my life that now you know -- these guys. Yesterday you don't sit around the most what is the Cleveland but couldn't help but. You know we had to -- that one time it -- out of the reds but it's about Chicago it -- while back when they have a part of what spring training to get back -- it's not -- is that -- baseball's an everyday -- You know you -- for a lot of he just because it is just don't -- comfortable right away but it was clear yesterday you know that the Red Sox. You know -- kind of struggling offensively on the road trip you know that that is my problem in the -- estimated -- it right you know I mean. -- it was not -- at all like it was overlap between winning and I was just pile on top of that so it was nice to see the offense come alive you know even on that road trip. With the cut back condition they played and they hit the ball pretty well and I think you know the some of the guys that we did get hit you know actually was hitting his stuff -- and and you know all came they came out yesterday which was good to see because a lot of guys were struggling you know that helped yesterday.

We we've seen in the past Red Sox managers who were reluctant to emptied the bench even in blowouts. I don't know it a Mac -- gods that Jimy Williams a kind of stubborn they stick with their guys. Do you think Francona is going to do this all year is trying to get Willie -- in there we -- arm and hit for JD Drew last week we saw arm. Get Cora and and -- in there yesterday as soon as he could will -- do this a lot is that a concerted effort to get these guys some at bats.

Yet it is in the yes it was a perfect time to do that you know not only that as the home opener you don't get. I don't get him back on the field at Fenway Park but that's one of the challenges that they really had early in the season because nobody is -- yet. And getting hit by an -- try to get off the best that you possibly can -- you run that line about it just about everyday but I think you know he's very conscious that he has. Bench players that could be productive and help the team. It is biggest challenges presented by the fire way to get these guys and it you know it cause cause got to play it applies to second base it opened to probably get to start tomorrow against what -- of -- levels up. They had number about you don't gonna catch you know everyday that Wakefield pitches and I -- yet because the big challenge it imitate you know. It would be played first base maybe there's maybe some outfield but he -- great -- that you know -- Francona has always been a guy you know they tried to use everybody wants everybody on the roster that Bob but it at this time a year it's it's up the visibility get a blowout game like yesterday -- an opportunity could have been there you know we've got a couple of at -- in the developed.

thus far in this early season what or who has impressed you most Beckett two starts or J. D. Drew seven games

both of them you know Beckett yesterday it was it was just about unhittable let me that was that is that is about the that they do that has been. Up front immunology that would make solid pitching it was a very good curve ball and they gave some very good changeup. And the thing that impresses me about his changeup is our abilities we spoke of one of the radiated back but -- just give somebody 45. So he's given you know he's given he's that is just something else to look at other than the past pollen. You know I don't care if Seattle had played in all the games in Cleveland they would not going to be adjustment he was just right on target. They -- it would have -- good -- you know we've talked about this before I -- this as a very talented player up. At Pauley did yesterday people straightaway center field with a -- that stayed up with an off speed pitch. It was almost -- one -- as -- by have and you know I was we'll start that it carried as far as the it did but that gives you an idea of the kind of power that the guys gut and he just couldn't quite --

They're there seems to be an EU's and an F for less nest to almost everything this guy does on the field Jerry.

He just reminded me so much of Fred let you know I've said this before -- and I. Not that I'm not going to say that he's going to have the idea that Freddie had you know back -- seven united knows that he's been -- and so much you have the way he goes about his business you know at everything he does does looks he looks very relaxed been doing it you know it doesn't know you know what. What he's battling inside you know public pressure he feels you know what his motivation level is but we should make -- rookies get -- feel it -- you know. He's done everything -- defensively that a couple good plays and that road trip up as the result of the great -- on the bases you know he's just a good point.

crisp is that 160 right now at a at a big -- yesterday but still one for five do you see -- today. Where they consider put Pena in center and leave them there.

Not yet no not yet you know I really think grass is gonna play you know well not a bad attitude played much here is that you know he's healthy. And I think you know it's just going to take its time to get back in the you know and can be a productive player like he was in Cleveland and like we saw very early in the season before he got but then again that option is there I -- it doesn't happen. You know they do have that option of the put paid -- about or maybe switch a lot of what is he somewhere in the outfield so. You know there was that there is that possibility so that you noted that they have some depth. So if something goes bad as -- biggest threat they they have a couple of people like that it. -- again. Ed -- probably don't do very much in the beginning of something so. But they've got to give him every opportunity that the be productive by being that you don't they everybody organization knows we -- that we local. Local -- last year and quite frankly that but this year and yet you know but he's shown some side you've got a couple does that drive it runs to -- Ortiz has -- badly he's played well on the outfield so. You know it's common and and hopefully it does come in the -- we've stated -- we receive a player that was that they thought they were getting the Cleveland --

Jerry if you were a former pitcher I could buy into the code of conduct their code of of assessment here but as a former everyday player you really honestly truly believed the -- didn't -- that Kenji.

On all sides not not at all. Now I. I mean you know whatever happened between India and there's. As a big history that goes -- if I'd just say what triggered that I every week it's Giambi. We played that you know bombing was spared -- and -- to be like he had was heading back the dugout that we -- that's what you know. All hell broke loose that dog that I actually thought he was not trying to hit him.

You know Jerry absolutely adored the job you do and I second -- our cubs to be in a red dog runs -- I believe Donnelly was trying to hit Kenji and I believe he hit Kenji 'cause he couldn't hit the deal was done he was gone.

Dog eat dog dusty because it'd be hit anytime you want to do. If if that was his motivation -- bought them on the.

I'll but I mean he was done with Jose gear he struck him out that they got their words and of key and had another pitch I had to get back in the box he'd hit him left. He left the game he was in the dugout. He did the next best thing in his mind -- hit the next

I'm up by that if I was going to feel I would -- that sense at all that the out of that as Seattle didn't have that sense at all because. If -- of thought that would indicate that it cannot go. Pedroia you know with a --

That's good line I thought they were going to do that and I can make it.

Pedroia but so too because at first pitch yet once step towards the.

There's a technical equipment but

but no you know you you haven't said would you -- feel what that is the complete you know and and that there was no intent there in my in my opinion. Of the obligated to go to those go before it usually doesn't get it it's -- that was yet. And needed it and talked about so but I think the umpires probably did the right thing I was surprised to get -- out of the game because I didn't. I'm hoping that it was intentional I think they just wanted to put there's probably that yes they put it -- dependency what happened development Milan but. I didn't do you know you've got to get the feeling when you're on the field that you know that yes that was intentional and somebody's got to get that's that in love that I happened so even Seattle Mariners.

Ager I got to guess that over all the years you've covered Major League Baseball in the Booth as you do there maybe has been one or two times such as last September when I don't know. -- Snyder was pitching we went to the ballpark in the we gotta do this game tonight I my guess is that when Daisuke is on the mound 3035 times this year little obstacles that both sloppy a lot of the days where you're not looking bored watching the game.

it's fun it's fun all of that stuff is fun I didn't it was great to watch him -- in Kansas City was made this -- video station yesterday at fenway and I'll look reported that I let me it's it's almost like. I can't put in the same category as Pedro because -- added I just couldn't wait it is it you know wouldn't go to that great stretch and then I'd like to have Schilling -- you know and it does. You know that he's going to break his best effort out there all -- I've I've been involved. But this is that it is totally different -- not only -- back station watched as the world you know I've been. They'll play Japan I can't imagine out of public advocate of going to -- have I would want to point of some. Yeah I mean you know -- going to be dog food -- the TVs watching you know their broadcast that is while David. You know it could stop it exciting stuff and and I know the fans is that the direction -- they watch -- watch on TV but now they're going to see him you know at Fenway Park. And it's going to be fine I didn't know that. They let you know I've been on a lot of that he. As a player and some as a broadcaster believe it's not fun going to the ballpark you know lleyton -- he's -- that. That weight that would a lot of it one great thing about here that goes up to keep -- arrested spelling Daisuke his Soviet backed out of.

that's the upside down here's the downside 350 media members -- credit for tonight's game have you addressed the box lunch -- situation in the capital

you know we got -- but to get -- the it is but you go out there -- bad because they have like the spotlight is going to vote would just brutal yeah so I guess that you deal with a sub for a couple of days you know.

Bologna sandwiches to -- Maloney. The play now let's get to the important stuff what did you and Bobby do they do after the game as we hear you guys without the town.

Did actually you know according to -- so I would very much like yeah but the suns. We went out we went to a couple of these -- lounges you know. Yeah recite some of his favorite the past and I particularly enjoy you know if possible -- kind of backed it -- that it way but -- it actually you know Bob and I as much as we look like together because like -- Yeah he's brought the littlest I'm going out tonight gave a little self. You know almost.

Are around dog could talk that you enjoy the games that I will talk the next week you know it was like Jerry you know what it was like for the guys sit next to John Dennis last yesterday. I it was like when you had to have Ken Harrelson in the both mentally I don't want to yeah -- more than Dino is Ken Harrelson. I happened happened gap and yeah.

That's what it's funny thought you know he really enjoyed being there yesterday that he's thought of thought is that elective system you know isn't much -- beat Chicago all without it should be but he you know his private bought that you guys know what did you follow them yet he was popular they love him do what you love this city you know what if it was special bit about that to be part of that celebration.

Hey anything new at any exciting in any -- nobody on the Remy report dot com.

Well the -- most popular thing now as we giving away tickets that. Beat back the double figure we'll figure that would popular yeah exactly that -- to conceded that it that we brought. -- every day and on top of that they pick -- If puppet of the -- that -- let -- yeah and they get a free pizza and a couple of those topics that the quality of love him but not a bad deal.

you -- a day collected drudge report like 789 million hits on the Riviera or not not quite there couple gets more hits you or Schilling. On on his

I don't know I think they'd probably have quite but it just looked -- as -- you know but no with the okay.

I check it out the review report dot com thanks -- double -- next week I'm will be watching your record with Dennis and Kelly
