Iraq what does it mean when they say at this particular coach isn't one of the managers guys would what does that mean.
Meanwhile you know because what -- Did not -- a multiple of eerie is it or on the oh we in at the it should be a role. Note that what what the if we won it in its action.

It has one they just addicts there who all you know kit there's -- you know -- like they it was great to -- and it out so all. It needs to meet would be back here reflect the votes to eight and that you're out of state -- typical -- in debt in the you know the.
I think we have your letter MLB dot com -- your letter to -- experiences that you referred to run we can put that on our website can't we Chechnya will put will post that on WE EEI dot com to -- going it's a letter to the fans -- the city.
And then as -- the state you know is here at all and the answer is kept at. It organizations they the only in Albany was partners argue with you being with all respect.
But doesn't sound like that of that great -- when you legally have the three straight years and and slugging Indians scored all kinds of runs -- and we saw the emergence of David Ortiz under your tutelage. Why what reason do you get when you get dismissed after that kind of track record.
Well you know that it is we get eight -- And and -- appoint expect award two it is these in the and it's actual this is who is -- The two hope that they give a formal World Series in 88 in two -- in about a third. -- act. It is with a victory in -- act and that it.
I would suggest that -- guys leading the league in hitting three years general and by the way batting to I believe 84 through the all star break this year and -- makes kind of goes south after that -- injuries and some other stuff doesn't indicate that you forgot how to coach hitting. In it I mean you can just get stupid all of a sudden after the all star game.

Elect really and it. -- beat Italy and I think two oh it'll and it away. If you like even though it is out -- if you don't -- just and now we've it Arctic is that people. And Asia was wrong with it -- with communication. Don't have aged don't know what -- and -- it'd be you'd be so it what David Ortiz two at least to gain -- the -- and is it.
Give us an example if you could run of eight made this is Phil philosophical difference you may have had Terry frank correlate what something specifically you would have disagreed on.
It will that'll be one thing I'm not now the question is is -- Is his decision and like a city have met in person two you know.
But how well the next guy be different from you how -- the next hitting coach.
