Adrian Gonzalez (and perhaps his teammates) still don't get it.

You guys so good in the AT&T text on it. Get out -- I'm sitting here during the break them trying to answer my own question. Out of the Red Sox make up that. 123. Run differential. Between themselves in Tampa Bay Rays at Tampa Bay Rays gave up 614 -- last year Red Sox keep up 737. And you look at I don't think wonder. Earned runs the John Lackey give up last year.

All by himself. 800 in fourteen earned runs. All by his lonesome and that guy's gone out of -- That the next gaga does not make out it was a darn it I'm an amateur next guys you better be better give up zero run media that are gonna. And fourteen. Michael if you -- and paid anywhere she made that type of money he would have been out of the only -- and that's what makes it worse. Because there -- 114 earned run. In a 160 innings I mean it. We talked about how bad it was and how terrible it was. We we under sold. If you think in these things we were tough on them last year we couldn't have been we couldn't have been Michael he because we should have been going. Ten times harder on -- lack the numbers show you he might have been the worst starter ever ever. Where Carter have irked that I saw this said that the replacement for the replacement got to let you gotta be will be got a much better than that so. That's one area where they could get better I don't see an awful lot of areas where I think this team. And be better based on what they did in the offseason but I'm really shocked me out of its price you as well -- down to. Says it is spring training regiment that he laid out. As so far been met with some grumbling. And from the players. Port used was more demanding style when -- program we devised. I don't think of it is tough but it seems. It's different because a lot of people are frowning. I just asked them to give it a few days we all know that nobody likes change except for those who were making other people changed to do what they want them to do. I happen to be one of those guys who lights change because guys are doing what I want them to do. I would bet. There will be 100 guys won't really liked it because hitch changed for them appeal get used to it not ask this question. Easy actually seeing the grumbling because if you're a player -- year -- for the first day or two -- Bobby Valentine. You've got to put your best best. Face on the air. Archer got to put your your your best give you him your best impression or is this Bobby Valentine. Tried to be the toughness man. Who basically is gonna. Let it out right now I'm gonna grumble I know some guys an -- this I don't because I have to deal. What is he really should. Or is using this right -- my mantra may be using I don't know. Like to answer your question of what -- be putting on your best race for the new manager. Me ask you who had asked him.

What guy. Has to impress Bobby Valentine or else. That that's the problem. I guess with a few originally -- well that's a problem with the team. With -- 170 million dollar less payroll you got a lot of guys on the team. That you expect to be self starters you expected to be. Motivated on their own without the push from management. They really don't have to. Because you don't have anybody -- at you you're not dealing with a team of kids you're not dealing with a team of guys who were scraping and trying to prove themselves. What I know Dustin Pedroia is gonna play hard he would have to do -- vehicle impressed manager. Why does why does Jon Lester have to impress the manager what the car caught. They're gonna send them down so he's got the kind of team I understand what he's trying to do and and I applaud him ward to a degree. He's got a veteran team. Where if they wanna shut him down they can't it would be very wise to Begin again.

Let let the repercussions repercussions are that the fan base out there. Will turn on the players in this could get very ugly TI I I'm one of those that right now I'm not sure about Bobby Jones. I'm not sure he's the right guy. In this situation I think the last -- it was the right guy -- I'll give it to you. That certainly in the last year the last couple months of his last year maybe he wasn't the right guy -- the shelf life for all of these right. I'm not sure that Bobby is the right guy. For in this city in this environment. With the ST I'll say that's. Even if you if you feel the same way I do or an efforts of the people's -- he's gonna suck I think he's gonna be -- even if you feel that way. I think all of the responsibility is gonna lie out of the gate of the players I don't think people are gonna jump ugly. I'm Bobby Valentine to the players don't deal with the manager wants a new -- I think the players are the ones that are going to take the heat in it will get ugly it will get. 32004. Italy around the sport I gotta tell you and great -- has may choose smarter -- not only has -- already getting better. Not only do you look like George quoting now I carry away OK -- yourself over to doctor Nielsen gets some help her ordeal like that Mike Harris is the current version of Drew Carey. On the price is right you look like that and so compliment that is complimentary trip down significantly. -- right Richard -- you know becomes smarter it couldn't be more. Really in terms of the public. Has nothing to lose that's why you guys that's right wondered if he's not make -- that up here I don't think he's seen grumbling about that no right I think he's out there don't you rubble at bay hit an update these guys these guys go to.

Either they do it themselves on the record. Or they pull one of their favorite reporters as iTunes. And sometimes. And well you know -- was from -- anonymous sources and she's gonna protect you don't know Scott okay. Whatever they do and by the way electing her -- used to -- their ego whatever they do. The public is so pissed off a lot last year they don't wanna hear cell. If if Bobby V makes them leave a day early and they didn't want to you have no advocate if cuts. It cuts out the NCAA tournament brackets that they do for March Madness. Nobody cares he takes beer out of the clubhouse if he -- yet to be here at 730 instead of being here at 745. No matter what he does. The fans don't wanna hear the players complain about it because of September was so distasteful to them. Then they imprint wanted to despicable and.

And I think it is still lingering we are still -- and we'll still here I thought it. -- the -- the aging Gonzales comment yesterday about you know you've got heat.

I don't think he understands. Right now I don't think he did it on purpose I just don't have it. And a I don't think -- really got the totality of what was being said there's still available online but don't according to -- it Adrian Gonzales. Is a bright guy we know that we talked many times. Very very thought public got. It sounds like he thinks the issue news.

Like that that the post -- spread or something drag it to remain Maggette in the clubhouse and I got on the embed bothered you know the players I think you know they'd. That's the first thing people need to realize is that are dead dog and a Stanley is really small and not everybody sits -- so you can have -- guys in that dugout pages is just impossible is too small. And they're there they -- crowds -- dugout and so muscling guys to Begin went our underneath for the very Euro Mets. And then you know guys of the upstairs in -- filtered through incoming and out and they weren't upstairs all time that would be coming downstairs because there's a and the Pentagon and make their way out and do all those things of that and that's of them bother us. You know we in a lot of the times when you people -- they were drinking beer mean they had whatever there drinking and a cup this time we're gonna go look at -- drinker. You know that eating Omnia and they're gonna need. He leads me to do you ever eat during game. Yeah you you got -- a fine you know and Howard Marshall yeah different things you don't need to keep you keep -- but usually can't Carney Arabic settling draining well humming now another in a game because you do you can have some -- and they're gonna we're playing. I'm mean on pitchers are to -- impairments to want their day.

Are -- here so -- our -- That the story was what what really bothers me he didn't get what what bothers people is that it felt like the team. Got so relaxed. And let herself go so much that. They weren't they weren't able to perform they weren't able to before. Down the stretch and that led to that historically bad government when he September. Secular bear was a symbol for what the TP --

People have he whether it's it's taken -- to. You know mistakes so that did not bother you not on I don't think is you know -- they got to be ready for the next game I think. More than anything it was just the fact that we input that -- played good baseball.

Yet but I'd say he's right though they didn't play good -- this -- all -- but it's connected in in the in the eyes of many fans closer to toilet does it play good baseball because they were not in the right frame of mind and it right bodies absolutely do the job. It's symbolic of what they be trying to tell -- if you have a guy you know we've we've seen this. Many times in all sports. Great athletes. Who appear to be in fantastic condition. Always have very strange eating habits -- ranging. Eating. McDonald's you know eating. Chicken hot dogs whatever just before game before gain him many times before game dirty game but they still are hard argument work in old. Physically fit it is frustrating. But that's what happened that's what happens happen here news. Those guys. Got themselves in bad shape and when the team with collapsing. Guys in bad shape weren't there to help. And in the number that the top two or three guys who come to mind are. I'm John Lackey this because he was awful and he was unlikable amongst the fan base. Josh -- Jon Lester and Buchholz have come out in admitted that things happened that shouldn't happen and start Ford must turn the page. John Lackey and John Lackey Josh Beckett who knows. Who knows we're gonna go with that -- for a team that has a 174 million dollar payroll although I will tell you this. I think there are tons of holes in this industry.

now do I think I'm gonna score an awful lot of runs -- because one through sixty going to be able group. Loaded up this is providing that Carl Crawford we still don't know. I mean everybody's assuming. That Carl Crawford is going to revert to the guy that we saw down in Tampa Bay. But you -- whole season. And play the way he played last year to meet that that that net raises some most of red flags. That's something strange about that you if you're guard a terrific at and a guy that warrants twenty. Plus million a year. -- a slump for a month. Who wants. Maybe two and a half or three months and an entire season and never find. Up to me is very strange. I still think that there's some question marks. Whether he can handle it here. Whether he's the same player he was down there in in tea well you're always ask questions about the team get to that question after the break through.
