Dustin Pedroia

put it Baltimore right now because it is rates actually you know that that option. Joining us for the full alliances that Dustin Pedroia threats such -- what's happening. Well you know I could think all right so far. Do you feel happy are you feel better now.

Yeah for sure sure it as our first place. Or we're here on the structure but you know we're trying to anticipate a structure it back opened their first well at the --

How difficult is it for you you you made the adjustment you -- here in September how did difficult is it that you. Coming out of the coming out of the gate.

It's just not going to start out wrote that it. In at the city -- a little off but. Helped a lot better or are you know it's gonna come around to -- 40. Or where they're well -- you know outcome.

But doesn't -- your own admission he you've kind of struggled at least a little bit it every step up the minor league latter. Can you chalk some of your slow start up to about four. Are you thinking that. Last September when you struggle a little bit was was your introduction and now that. Now you kind of have to get into it and you don't have that to fall back on.

Yeah it you know -- every every what I'd -- you know I hired double A and triple I think that was first. -- outside. You know it's hectic these technical I figured out you know. I don't feel that right now it is you know I pac -- you know get a box not well over matched it longer. It's just you know figure out you know what what it's like do -- you know I don't want to pitch me and on their baseball got four or what frigate. Not comfortable in a ball and refined art I their -- had a triple a though required our our best and and now after -- or better and they are required and yet here.

There was no question if that you moments already in the early part of the season I much of it is is confidence and can you have an awful lot of confidence. In that you're thinking so much right now you're seeing guys you've never seen before you try to figure out what you do do you out there. You can't just play instinctively you know.

First -- you don't -- 158 guitar X you -- repair. You know especially you know besides what are your pick I'd find you know -- late this guy. Oh you know what you know watching video pictures you know I've never done that before all this stopped and now. You know what there's a lot they products that you -- to get used to it you know -- other that it'll happen and you know what about parties who -- Talk about it up the block it nocturnal art over give kudos rbi you rbi of the report are bad drive that better not.

Doesn't there was talk about pitchers giving a book on hitters and I'm sure hitters do the same thing to pitchers how long would it take a guy like you get a book on some of the American league pitchers.

I'll note spectacle I mean I. I fish for all of it now probably not probably separate you know at bat. You know last night you know you still not great try to try to pick that figure it out you know -- It's up there that are not you know where mcenroe well on that what you gotta. It's got -- and no I couldn't get the air got like it is -- stuff you know sometimes you know going to get out and check it can't get discouraged or hurt like that you know moral. I gotta get an Eric our way to get there.

The dust in your your sharing at least for now some playing time at second base with without scoring I think Alex is in the lineup tonight -- Francona said earlier I remember talking to you in spring training. And you were talking about what he meant to you would you came up last August. And how he helped you. Does that make for an easier transition and maybe you know eliminate some of the awkwardness that would that would happen with the veteran guy playing some time at a position. That you want to play full time.

Yeah for sure not a -- there on -- well period it is -- at their -- that are very -- our best pitchers in the air I think it. And it took that Iraq he you don't -- all our and it it's almost. It's definitely occurred that are not excited you know we -- brought together Orlando a big Beckett -- off -- Drew the topic park like this being you know I know I -- got a lot Eric and I expect expect you know it.

Arm and out takes and there's no question I just wanted to -- none of us yeah. You don't it's like I mean it's you know people are going to base everything on. On what they saw it last night and for me obviously I just -- on email with somebody spent. A lot of time put together numbers on Willie while the other -- last -- obviously people looking at that there. -- they going to jump all over the last couple times we had you on the show it down there in in in Pataki were chomping at the bit. To get a big to get up to the big leagues and I wonder when you're in this position. Is there a little bit of pressure in the you know and then Michael back down there again this is supposed to be your time actually you. It looked like you're gonna have opportunities the past do it to be up here is there a little bit oppression is that your

are -- a little bit you know -- You know great depth we want to be here for a long time ago well I thought it relax -- put too much pressure on myself today on the type guy that. -- They may not ever get our economy it wannabe a wannabe is good are you ought to be a great player and -- project it's it's going to. It would definitely help you that it. You know what what does -- I think you know wire struggled with the cub spirit is put much pressure on myself that is -- and -- starter relax now after. That I had -- they upped -- Yankees are back I caught a heartless that everybody on our basic or security that -- highway and and you know not about -- might break it got a big way you know expect for the fact policy on the stop you know but. I hit you know and I I got a lot of like drive the ball out -- and you know people might say up underneath the ball well scrap but. You know what our military our -- are all like to do it here it hurts our I think door they called it that it it's gonna -- to -- 40. Fort bachelorette is it not very you know out by -- in the year. Going to be a lot better.

Dozens or he the thought of of Arnold emotional or attitude rule take over after was a very successful week answers against the Yankees they're going up for a quick he. To get answers against Toronto -- successful than he sort of paying over after it's always good to beat the Yankees put emotional via

yeah it was dirty after that the last game you know we know we got got like 1230 you know. Obviously you know -- it journalists ought to ought felt so I think some guys retired it probable -- but he but he got about life on the big error and he kept out those. You know those those water act you're not that it like -- and what it.

Then it doesn't tonight interesting after facing Roy how they want the best pitchers in the less they go up against a guy tonight didn't Cabrera. The Red Sox eventual men's success against the last couple years by he tends to be wild at times as a pitcher the -- to be very patient with tonight.

Yeah I think so. -- pitcher pitches execute and ordered an electoral -- Eric respectively while. Got a picture which cricket pitches -- that we get drive so. Not expected to walks but -- there and you know more -- this it's is bigger now.

Go back something you -- a couple of minutes ago when you're talking about what other people was saying about to read the quote in the paper yesterday and the day before a couple of days ago did you sense that wants the stuff on the specific lines. I mean who saints I mean obviously guys and your team announcing it to you to they're giving you support. And I -- and the staff is giving you support I mean I. I guess it's like anything else it if you are if you met 350 they're probably going overboard -- you know erect a statue for your data can more square that's the -- And if you had not because people get so emotionally rapped up in every single one of these games. -- sit there saying you know he's got this day why swearing at -- as a -- up on the bat why does it worked out but it. People come up with a million different reasons why you do -- you listen to you hearing stuff.

Not everybody -- but he -- on the now it it could be anybody and area is Barry at 33 at -- I use small that in. You know what about the -- so I'm not. In other. Not late on eight -- out -- or less earlier a lot of it is it is what the problem so.

The that's success with this in the estimate and again. Because of the body shape and everything else about Douglas in the past tried to compare you -- I started watching you. Compare you do -- David expect as a civil body's not similar swings is -- that the totally different type of approach it like. That's probably just because people haven't seen you went out but why would you change because -- so much success.

Yeah that's -- thing we knew coming out assume with a team like this you know everybody. You know there's a lot older guys who enters struggles and direct -- you know like the bigger picnic last year you know our our first couple games in art and got it in. That is not the couple or whatever and ever dispelling that they would like there yet it like that it. You know what it. But a good allied or why not play are quite away and you know. Numbers are -- all -- five fight you know to Stewart -- not all all right out at 250 guys Alex's. You know -- we got that hot streak you know our. You know that we're in yet that look back you know it's not -- and it you know what it's -- our our make a lot of make our academic -- contact it's it's it's no big deal Arctic air registry into a lot -- what it is.

and unfortunately and you didn't get it when your -- if you program probably -- bigs right now in Kansas City you probably not getting it in the -- willing to give you much longer you know sampling period I mean here everybody judges evident on the last on the last game but I think you're right I mean it. I hope that you know an awful lot about a guy until you've actually seen him get a lot of that that's up there. I don't like fight through you know something like that.

Yeah absolutely not the base there -- everywhere repair cracks started out you know -- it to 30 doctor ordered at bat arbiter the year before aaa. Now no doubt doubt about but it's six under which I mean it's not got anybody but that about it army you know stronger while they're at it it expects exceed that. Eric -- air L about it yesterday we're like -- altogether summer in summer all. And it said all right it -- seven -- And you know -- figured out it takes time. And hell or pitched a -- but rather eat at an outstanding it'd be altered your neck and a player L been like -- street. Yeah Ott you know brought out out.

Doesn't that there is so much focus on on your offense and your hitting style and approach you just mentioned your D fence how do you see that in transition in terms of playing second base in the big leagues and do you sometimes feel like. You know maybe you can contribute in the field to win you're not get a couple of hits every night does that help you know make you feel like you're contributing a bit more.

Yeah absolutely may in time you know especially -- thought may not at all pay in ought not. It eight meter track and you know certain -- around her hit at all on -- you know like very eager to operate or -- Did not say economy then. Typically it's it stopped now I think. You know -- but it can't you know pop not everybody is -- other first under. 30 bat victories have -- got so but you know what I get a job but not going to be our struck out.

I does it's always good talking to UN done next time we talked to UB -- about 310315 something like pat about it. -- I just think it's like pretty early.

I didn't Dustin Pedroia -- it you know back the confidence he has themselves it is. This is that -- past the great or not but here it was very. It's it's tiring -- hawk I hit three you know not I hope like in at 300 in time like -- at 300. He believes that he's -- not just yet but it well or.

Questionable times with Adam on the show which is so last year -- the year before the job. If anything it was he couldn't believe he wasn't the -- you know it was like I can't believe in my way that you -- right and that's why I almost sensed with him. And maybe it's a little bit different here that the unit you reading so much of hearing so much as somebody voices everybody is is is constantly talking about every single game at a specific point in the game. He sounds like it is affecting able Albany's the listening to the.

To too much an -- that right now think -- do driver little too hard to do referred of guys who have couple times that are so. I don't know all the question but I think -- was joking have to lose the -- was brought to the point but but you know Arnold is crock I what -- competent yet -- cocky just mean you know. You can sometimes. Your guys say that he's trying to convince itself that's what that's what that's what I got out of it and that concerned me a little bit because he's always. So cocky in the past that he doesn't a practice brighten up the rate we're but he only got a guy who seems to be lacking a little bit of confidence I don't hear I hear a guy -- who. Says -- I know I'm going to succeed it's just a matter of time -- pets well the point you brought it to point you brought up is an interest because he does you know. He's had these slow start he's everywhere -- And it's almost as if you but he but it's -- bloody easier united Portland in Greenville but it is here it in in Pawtucket because been talking about it every single they would goal for world or whatever it is that is moments here he -- his moments already. You could see this up there it's not like you know you're you're looking Steffi you you consider something right I think.

You know not to psychoanalyze here but the guy would that size body. Playing in the big leagues he played at a very high level division one college program. I think there's a little bit of the chip on the shoulder you know 'cause people probably have always told him sure probably what he's recruited out of high school you have. I don't know if he's going to be of a play at a program like Arizona State and I mean he might be able to play and now he's probably hear tomorrow you know. Maybe BO right -- Kansas City like god planned for the Red Sox in the pennant race. I'm sure that he uses that stuff as motivation because -- triple -- because guys that have over achieved given their physicality often is like 56.

You have on children going to win -- who are considered could be a motivating fact for -- Or could be an attitude problem for for guys if you don't use -- the right way but it sounds like -- Sergio probably going to be suffering and -- the ball well like anything else and and I agree I think you've got to give him a lot of that bats before you find out what you guys -- I don't know you've got but I don't think anybody does and -- an awful lot of that out but that what's happening Mutombo will -- I don't know what I have to -- most eloquent fueled -- Ed -- both -- most biggest problem -- again Steve is that he -- want to play every day for you can't make his mistakes -- get a lot of trouble for him drawers or people that you met him. The the differences that the joy. Is somebody that you brought up to the organization that you're ready to throw out here. And you made. The the concerted effort to move somebody out of that position -- reduce average somebody back. To put him in that spot what's hurting them now I think they shot brought it up earlier doubts scores pointless game tonight. He's got great success against Edberg -- probably a couple wins tonight's game. And that's what people do it's a comparison thing. And now they see. Court doing so well well pours a more polished and confident player because he's been around all of these around excellent -- He also has specific role for the Steve I think if you put or -- there -- Every single at bat production it it it it falls short of of what you're seeing right now. And it's all -- what you're saying and -- people looking at one versus the other and because court it's it's tonight they'll want quarterback at a ball game toward. And it -- very reaction than it is it is that's the way -- but. Again I'm not sure listening to it is the best thing for -- sharper for ball well that's probably why you know he's one of those guys that are on the road for
