Bobby Valentine and Joe Castiglione in Oakland

The -- get away with a split day in Seattle despite not scoring a lot of runs. Some pretty good pitching -- this seems to be a similar team here. Yeah you know I think these two teams really know how to pitch in them they throw it down with high velocity change speeds and you know their ball player X of course played -- You know in in and watch -- -- the -- the big fences and here they have a -- territory in the cold weather's so. You know it's not conducive to. You know hitting the ball over defense but we entered. Figure out a way of coming up enough runs to get victories I was gonna see Pedroia went over the fence -- yesterday the key spot. He says when he gets look out in you know I was just is impresses base at the rate field. Off the 95 fastball as it was what was with a home run but. He's feeling good about himself now on when he's doing good we're feeling good. This Felix -- -- a little rest. I don't think so you know I talk tournament. You know everyone throws that out there of course. Yet you know when you get close to Orioles their break it's like the course -- turns around and is getting back to the -- that that a stable you know you have your site. Over the air somewhere instead of having your -- -- here he. I thought he got a little medal the stressed yesterday. And you know maybe that's also part of the fatigue and we'll get rest once that break comes around but physically I think he's fine. And this Davis came right back -- easy year. Ninth inning but it seems like capacity has really been -- set up the whole bullpen now. But he has been fabulous. You know overlooked obviously that gets left him as a right handers that comes in throwing. You know 95 miles an hour and Ian. You know it's a group effort they're Gary touched put it together in. You know when the phone rings they're ready to do their job and and they're doing it. Will litter box is not in the lineup they laughed yesterday with a strained hamstring how -- he today. Well let's say that he's better today. And and we were thinking he might viewers today so that's the good news. So there's really no time table looked pretty pinch hit. And that's the bad news though he can't pinch it in there is no timetable. How about Jacoby l.'s very hairy went deep down in Florida today to get. Yeah he got that first moment of 2012. -- series feels good about that in he's getting closer. -- by Carl Crawford day he's going to move back to New England yeah he'll be up to Portland starting. Tomorrow the end. He'll play Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday and then we'll see how he does there and doubly setting. There was a possibly could come back before the break. I I don't know I I don't know what's possible what's not but we wanted to make sure that. -- -- -- -- You know injured -- whoever it is that's out there doesn't use the calendar or. Who were playing -- where we're playing as a determinant. They just used their health and and when they're physically ready to play. And you Bailey said he was sick feeling pretty good couple of days nobody had to go back home for birth. Yeah were open that abandoning the have that -- you Vinocur sooner rather than later in our with our wishes are with them. While tonight did Daisuke goes in that. And there any adjustments that he can make for the first inning. Well you know he did last time and gave up only one run and you know only one solid head I thought his control was better we're gonna try to do that same. Same routine tonight where he sits down in the bullpen. After throwing and he gets up throws a little more and has his and has rushed once the game starts. It seemed to work better. Last time out. He was sent out there at 330 this afternoon playing long top. Yeah yeah allowing you know his his mental is to make sure that he's appeared in the ball feels rate and you know I I love his work. Our Mercedes-Benz manages question Bobby tell us about riding the bicycle across the Golden Gate Bridge. But a series as a as a great place to see you know Serbia Blake and and see the sights and you know his bike routes that take you -- there's so. To be hammering county and -- a little lunch and going across the Golden State greeted well. Golding gate bridge head straight in the Golden State it's it's a wonderful that. Quite a scene -- we should've asked tonight we got to do it together Joseph thank you are right let's go back as.
