Rich Hill from the Boston Red Sox rehabbing with the Portland sea dogs tonight is they take on the New Britain rock cats nice to have a mass native -- myself yeah thanks for -- So while left form flex or flex or straighter now so what is the plan getting back to Boston. -- -- -- here tonight and then go to -- curfew and then back from Boston. You know. Assuming everything goes well and everything housed on oil field -- You know continue to work and that's that's like and of itself here I can imagine. Yeah it's been you know it's been exciting to at the same time in the beginning when you come back from major surgery is. UCL replacement or otherwise known as Tommy John. He'll come back and be excited to pinch. With a new -- -- pretty much knew harmless Lewis. You know very exciting and to have you know setback. As I have now. But now getting back into this is exciting again however. You know find a role you enjoy to do unknowable and and pitch well on this keep working immensely and -- -- -- starter -- -- your career was it hard adjustment going in the bullpen. I think -- I don't think it was as part of adjustment has it was there's there's a few stages I think for me was accepting in that you go from start to the bullpen and then again. Adjusting to that role -- mean -- the pitch every single day. And I think that is one. Started to figure out and really come to take ownership vote is is that left -- -- of people and I enjoy it. Have a lot of fun -- keep going out there pitching with conviction. And that's that's about it. Rich Hill the Red Sox here in Portland it's -- Massachusetts guys getting the boss and it's a very elite class in a Manny Delcarmen got to do but. It's pretty cool and I think it probably won't mean a lot tee down the road. Yeah you know pitching their last year in year -- and this year obviously being part of you know what is a great clubhouse. And a lot of good guys in the clubhouse Arsenal on a woman known right now obviously is a lot of stuff going on in and no point in and a talking about them but that the thing is that's a very talented close and and a great group of guys that. Obviously that's the highest level. When you get -- a place like Boston. Big market teams it's it's a lot of fun playing for a big crowds if you look at what's happened on the field I mean I think. Overall there's been some great stories considering on the entries a lot of guys that field then. Some unexpected guys and then while you look at Peter Syria on the job that he's done now with -- will finally come and Compton. Just the bullpen has been great overall entire year and you know continue to look forward to. Seeing -- a lot of great baseball. I saw today the Mark Prior was released I know former club and you were there to win. I've -- and expect -- off maybe he asked for his release or just something a numbers game. Yeah I'll let you never know in that situation especially. The guy that's. Little bit more established I guess now -- three finding himself again. As a reliever. But I -- him walk guy I had no idea that was the news. But yeah maybe you know situation where. He feels that it's going to be. You know news. I don't know maybe -- fit isn't there or whatever it might be it is there's a lot of different things that long but you know which him questions about critical or as many of the Cubs and Sox in those two. Franchises people talked about for years as being mirror franchises. Yeah I think that's. You know obviously with great history in both places and I feel fortunate enough to throw in University of Michigan there and it's you know with with the history that that that comes from Michigan and then with with the Cubs and and with the Red Sox it's. Notes on a lot of pride in. Way to go about your business and look forward to our continuing to -- pitchers that the tonight. You know I think I just know it's one inning amateur -- pitches. Aren't good luck -- attempt aren't thank you. It's Red Sox pitcher Rich Hill goes tonight one any more after this in the WP -- US cellular sea dogs rated network.
