Bobby Valentine with Dave O'Brien before the last game in the Orioles series

Okay John thank you very much -- gorgeous fall afternoon Red Sox and the Orioles and with Bobby V Bobby yesterday one of those ball games that. In the red sex actually given the constraints of the lineup these days that are great job I thought of staying in a ball game against the team that has. The world to play for. And it's an incredible success in extra innings. I love doing only played. You know the we're down three came back. You know use he would -- score you -- you play extra innings do you. -- illegal forward case certainly in it all on the line and it like the way they played in the bullpen was terrific right up until the end. Really was one of the better bullpen efforts of the season -- Yeah you know after you know made did do his breaking -- it gave up a couple of runs and and a first pitch home run that. You know because they got them got the close to -- the three run lead but. You know other than that we had inning after inning you know it was good to see Andrew -- combat as though has been terrific the entire time. Of course Andrew Miller was -- available it would have been nice to have had a against some of those left handers but. You know all in all things went well. What is the status of Andrew Miller we wonder about that too and certainly would've wanted to get him in there against their left handers. Well via interviews ago but then do it alters -- CLE is today and then. Not to make any announcements before because of fear though though will be looking for him to. Let me ask you about tiznow won and you getting a lot of questions about -- he's just pitching so well he's throwing. 96 miles and hours on so many strikes he's blowing away really good hitters. Is this a guy that may be down the road you could see a vaulting into a starting pitcher what do you think the bullpen is his best role. You'd think from where -- what he's doing -- know be the evolution be to a closer. But you know it's big of so on thinks he should be a starter in. And that's something that says in his hard. Hard sooner or whatever however would make those decisions than that could happen to be. Right now we can make it definitive statement that he's a very good pitcher. And the closers and interest -- we're looking at a two makes a lot of sense he's a guy who pitches a lot of courage he goes right after Jim Thome. With fastballs you know even high fastballs he doesn't seem to care he goes right after again. Yeah well you know what he does is he. He understands the game plan and understand strengths and weaknesses of ability hitters and now that he's throwing so well he can actually. Use his stuff. You know against the weakness of hitters and he sees the -- in time in and time now. But I did a great line the other day when you were asked about at that time fifteen straight Orioles extra inning wins. You said well that's a great bullpen and about five years of good look back and now with sixteen in a row and the record is seventeen consecutive extra Penguins. -- and -- bullpen remains you know but what I said it to be. You know they they held back a guy until the eleventh inning and throws a 10000 more miles an -- time Tommy Hunter -- the ball was cutting has used throwing it so. You know they he they they have the interesting little formulas they are they taking guys who were starters that put him in the bullpen. Just drinking the bullpen to win in two and try to win a pennant and doesn't seem support them it's three of them yesterday as you point out former starters and I guess they still look at themselves as starters but he's using them -- the -- -- Yeah and they take you know he's a starter like Randy Wolf who led him who let him throw some innings and then. But they had the gun loaded once once they get past fifth. Time now -- Mercedes-Benz question of the day and Bobby are you do you think about playing. Anybody in a different position the rest of the way. Down the stretch here you've gone with -- tried Syria Arco center feel a little bit like a real solid played thirty played third base the other day are you planning on you know creatively moving guys around and called on a stretcher. Not really. You know there in Syria it was at second today we haven't seen him at second very much so. We'll see that but you know you deal with injuries and guys aren't prepared to play. Certain positions and you deal with some pitcher out there who's who has a chance in heaven and hell. Our number in it in the L column with chair affects his entire baseball colored and -- -- -- you know can affect his contract status etc. So you know you try to put guys in a place where they give it to that team. A chance to do well and you know keep them out of an embarrassing situation. But everything's good luck today against the Orioles. Okay thank you opening.
