" Joining us now on eighteenth -- hotline is the manager of the Boston Red Sox Terry Francona. Jerry is also brought you by a -- insurance. Interest systems doctor Robert Leonard at 1800. Yet here and he's also like you know. This is nondescript he's also the manager of the American League all star team the team -- an epic game last -- exaggerating Tito. 431. Of the best All Star Games have ever seen when you were managing it you feel the same way."
" Michael -- that I felt. I felt the -- of of of getting close to new Bolton or we will wrap him with pitchers it was. Inaugural remarkable book but it won't bite me. From the beginning of the Braves at all Favre to albeit what is notable teams are -- Ramon Christian it was a little tents."
" You know I am before we get all that you right will -- news talk about from the game and in what it means and what it meant to you. But there was a report in the Boston Globe today when asked you about it. According to the Boston Globe. I know what if but if this is going to be easy this is this is a yes or California or. Or or not your business. According to the globe you're going to Mass. General today because there's some numbness. On your left side I was shocked to see that."
" All of a mile and he if you that you have talked enough. -- my body is kind of all of our left -- just old. I don't hold back surgery is forty years ago and what to do certain Lotta people problem in elected -- about a number of -- left -- I need to do that it Carol because we got a lot of baseball player like we reform want. It's important -- to a lot thrilled about it but I feel full not to put him on our plate for Elway tomorrow. And so persona -- the onslaught gold or merlot -- golden and his scooter burglary parker rolled it. On -- like nobody built most of a lot of -- Deterred or want them off their but he did do."
" Welcome what -- that's Justin a different light on it the way our read the story and and Joe Hagerty -- I don't know Joe agrees with that. I've read it seemed like there was some mystery there seemed a little scarier than the way you just described."
" Old pole all more or I don't larger and I. I mean I'm I'm not exactly feeling well rested right now I didn't discuss a couple of critical to -- back to -- Thursday warning but. Not not not not produced just. You know a lot of -- terror on my body and I they've played out much ideal good my goodness are played a lot of -- what would have bothered but it just kind of a lot of -- there."
" Tito Joe Hagerty from the metro here to go it just. Looking back yesterday -- RD kind of alluded to it and there are so many moments from from the pregame without a hall of famers that everything the pomp and circumstance today in the game which was a fantastic game and can you pick out a few sort of snapshots of your favorite moments from that whole experience yesterday things that are sticking with you."
" Prism to all the -- loss to -- from even the beginning when we're getting ready for the worried the red corporate vertical. This staging area we got out of -- Of the bosses were walking in this state area you're walking by hall of famers. And I just -- locker coincidence the first except I don't want by. -- guys I played with organized my dad played -- It was like one surprise after another in the base to tip get better. It was right in December you know large plate with -- brooks Robinson movement -- rumored. Take care what my bills all time favorite. I mean there -- guys it was it was it was a it was a thrill it was hard. Not. You know to feel like that -- We took the ball park him and dealing with the best players in the world and then watching them that their best. Where they're put their egos aside it is is really kind of exciting in itself. And get the pregame ceremonies which couples do argued not did -- terrible baseball. Every single time they announce the -- reflect on what good but still the unbelievable to build apartment building watch it up cold will Claussen."
" And you just mentioned something that's that's fascinating to me as the manager of the all star team. You get to see guys up close and get to talk to them that you really don't get a chance to really. Did and a deep conversations with during the regular season on my Yankees and rays and Orioles and White Sox. What what do you do as a manager to kind of work to work the room and end to end it get to know these guys a little better and I'm sure that's important."
" It is you know him. We kind of talked body just signalled when we get they have these guys for a couple birdies and at all. And their buckled back to their returned because -- out -- but it wasn't gonna be part of guys we are. We try to visit with every single person in that role and explain to all we're going to try to do the during the game and thank him and as as. Yesterday unfolded. You know it's a good thing you do because you're looking for corporation. Because if you don't give it you could really run into a catastrophe. And we had guys. The world won't do anything and an out and that's a good feeling. -- we Goldman meeting you don't wood short meeting bowed to look we we think that the best players in the world with basically want to. Probably let's -- shall look you can do adult I don't. Plate everybody and from where we we went above and beyond playing everybody that we got. You know nobody left."
" What during the Fox Broadcast the -- tenth inning eleventh and twelfth inning Tim McCarver and Joe Buck kept saying. Terry Francona does not want to use Scott Kazmir because he pitched a 104. Pitches on Sunday. What -- some of the other restrictions that you had that maybe we in the audience did know about."
" Hope -- the we had a hole we had complete with several pitchers. How they had one inning -- him. Calm Santana and owners a restored we canceled they had warned him. You know by Kazmir. Full. And for the Justin Duchscherer was sick. Very sick and still that's. Still that's but he was struggle. That's what we got Cheryl what he was pitching earlier torture ultimately was was the ultimate it is at all do whatever I want. And he decided that it -- the most -- for a moment I mean. And did receive some because personality. It was hard because you don't think we we did not all example they won a month ago. And you walk out -- and deal aren't oral want to bite cajoled rate. And then -- like well -- just open whatever we're both coming interesting how that all unfold. We got a lot of restrictions with the pitching the weather better or are there restrictions -- sort of been it was important. Well as we have an obligation to two organizations in the -- of these guys not to hurt somebody what makes a ruling rule would."
" I know Major League Baseball expanded the roster for the team a little bit after that tie. I thought at that all star game but it. Do you do you have a perfect solution or something that you would like to see done maybe. A few more pitchers added to the twelve there are there so maybe you don't run into a situation like this I mean that we were thinking well. This morning at at reliving the moment yesterday maybe you could use a couple more arms."
" It you know what I think maybe there's again I don't companies to purposely I don't lol I have that until you do you know opinions or are awfully using. I do think that the guys that pits on the weekend before the all star game maybe you could name them but then -- Older guys because you need a blank. Or rule we did pop. Mean should we got one or. There's a -- of -- Brooklyn -- walk him -- ago both working into the dugout that I've made an outfielder outspent but they don't were order of scrambled. He's had a -- so we always -- on actual you could pitch a beetle battle. I mean everybody is Laura what picked up brutal Milwaukee and and nobody mortal and made. We were doing the best record and and it was didn't typical."
" We haven't some fun with the media Tito into it was JD or was he really actually may be going to come in -- players. Going to possibly pitch at some point -- with the Tampa."
" And I think we're going to have a -- withdrew because Lincecum was six so they were down their last pitcher. Enlisted warmed up I think three times which we knew we knew they were struggled through which -- little bit. Kazmir said he felt good there there was going to come a point world -- you know again double obligation. To not hurt somebody. And -- where we weren't there yet. What we were going to have to look at the war if we got to that point. Put Longoria in the game. It'll either be huge and and move in a position player prepared I don't know called speed around a third just. And again that was not something we want to get through. But at some point you gotta you gotta -- think about it."
" You know what I'll admit this Tito I was one of the first people to mock Bud Selig when he came -- this idea of making an exhibition game count. For home field advantage in the World Series and I'm not sure I I agree with it. But I have to give him credit out a wondered you agree. This game I can package feel. The tension I can feel the intensity. It was clear you wanted to win gods when your side wanted to win the National League got plugged it into like an exhibition to me that if elected to you."
" Melvin accomplished our goal Margaret -- I have a title by agreement view but they accomplished that goal we felt the responsibility. Of trying to wear them and you could tell it was you know that exhibition game. Almost I was very he'll leave some very nervous that a lot of anxiety going towards the end just because of the responsibility. And in -- warning. You don't want to lose and you don't want to lose it awaited ever compare anybody that's inoperable and doubles certainly a concern."
" I won't it like. To being in the Yankee clubhouse. In Mexico about."
" It's just really wasn't because it's it's not want to be done but -- setup. You know old the entire way that you want and it's not the Yankees with a few Yankees. And -- returned. Sold off was with Jim Leland who paper -- of education and it felt like I got married that was originally told stories and I mean I can't tell you what public government to develop one while -- of Michael played two on David where this spring with a lot of respect -- already. And that would leave these wondered where. It's also."
" Well without talent tells -- out of school is there anything any story that stands out. That kind of."
" I don't know just just just publicity and threw him go through -- got a couple popular want to damage. You know just talking about the game in the other -- booster and bar or second baseman capable both William. I think you'll he would come up what it was it was a fumble watched if you -- the best managers. I in my opinion of marriage and watchable react. Like Pedroia in the -- If things like that it was it was a -- for Rick."
" obviously going into New York there's a lot of history Yankee Stadium there was you know the great hall of famers before the game but also. Going into in New York also you have to deal with the New York media and the way things get kind of built up there sometimes and the whole -- bum thing yesterday in the New York Daily News and what was your reaction to that and and you know how much did you feel for Jonathan. And his wife when Nate you know it -- afterwards it kind of felt uncomfortable they're in the parade and everything that."
" Yeah and I got some -- third they have a good because -- we're -- got to remember as a base starts made I was. Busy from the morning shall we got the ball work. Wait later on culture what I think I got the -- commitment about twenty minutes later flawless ruling on the wrong but I was kinda kept. Some -- you know collective -- You know what what -- I do it it's a real shame. I had talked about and I know how perhaps shared with the -- And he said he Eagles were far more closer and I don't want to close look Eric holder -- And I completely agree with that but he also made it very clear and I thought he made it clear the media that he. Understood. Mariano. Putin pulled this game and they chose to run with. You know what they did even later in the in the story explaining what -- that I don't you know again we we all have more. This agreement but definitely up to the individual people personality few things but probably cut the brunt of it especially an upgrade not disappoint."
" We have a some disagreement today with some callers I feel like. If you're an American League stadium. Even if there's Yankees Red Sox the greatest rivalry based on no doubt. You know American League stadium. And a Red Sox comes up for the night there on your side there -- the good guys for the night and all star game so I was disappointed. That Papelbon was booed I was disappointed -- J. D. Drew was booed. What your take on this did you just expected. Because you have Red Sox -- New Jersey."
" Well -- what I did I haven't bought bought a lot but then. We got that red carpet which was more worried. Little for over nineteen walks. I heard two things. It's our element nine and you talk. About. Ironically it's -- of I don't think Red Sox Yankees runs so deep that the it'd. It could it get over economic -- it is hilarious plummeted to as to what. But just help people deal."
" Did you respond golf committee to."
" It's kinda you don't use Rivera backed -- pick -- truck -- you know it is going to suit what Booth. What can Tibetan was the people who don't watch -- That's all the good times with -- but I don't recognize."
" I would say that during what -- you know pre all star game press conferences. Who's that guy in the soup I don't recognize them Terry Francona apparently pretty good."
" The other players have little butterfly mark and valuable you have adept -- And lost their fuel. Democracy because it is. I always thought we go over -- things like that draws to a close to the existence they had a -- going to work some bigger project."
" There was there -- there're so many moments that game last night and -- in this thing so like go to sleep but. That there were a few times I thought the game was over the eleventh inning. Now you don't you don't have replay let you probably had a better view of it than we did and home. I still don't think -- Navarro was out of the -- missed the tag what."
" I don't want government that maybe and we'll give the last fielders do you have a full fledged. He won't argument hopefully revolt started and that's just you know that's the way to actually kind of funny moment after a one out so. To make a pitching change. And it was Mubarak would have thought the point. It was Michael -- no point -- that would have been a little bit -- up on the mound in. I had to -- Or to -- big Sean -- looks fast. Have you started lap run and -- and actually debate that held the ball would roll -- but you know sort of feel what. And and and we we kind of had a good talk or on the mountain in the bill of critical put visible."
" I'll star break is obviously a very logical time to kind of split the season hasn't and start looking forward to the second half and you know as tough as the the first half was schedule wise you look at the second half eight out of eleven Thursday's you have -- and I know this this is coming up right now this west coast -- scenes immediate. But after that you don't go any further west than Texas now think you go any more than that one time zone away. What kinds of things can you do with the second half schedule like that as far as. You know resting starters building in different things with some of the players to give them an extra day off me if you looked ahead to that kind of built in some things that you're going to be able to do it might be unique to that schedule."
" Not -- and in particular I mean in general the things you just salute to do is we -- commit that. People more advantage. We've been through a lot of first -- Japan. Public about the way we. We've been out west coast multiple times. We've got long road trips we've we've we've rebel with a lot. Now it'll -- we're going to start out in Anaheim and Seattle which -- do we have not always been kind to us. But we we we have reasonably optimistic governor or if you -- we can take advantage of maybe something like you just said. Took Thursday off. World war of the day's goal for Kay should really help -- Being able to sit -- rotation if you need to -- if you choose to it is is huge for us."
" You ready to be second guessed. Okay great now it's time for Red Sox second -- brought to you by Mohegan Sun a world play today's question comes from Jennifer. I Jennifer's from -- Jennifer says watching last night's all star game. Did you ever question yourself about your usage of certain pitchers for example Roy Halladay Joe Nathan and Francisco Rodriguez. All through less than -- ten pitches before being removed from the game and I think he kind of incident but."
" You guys heard that I can ground rule for the would be to open a -- kind of -- a -- vote vote. Vote because the the starters again we we talked about not want global warnings. Now they would actually got we've talked for the game. About maybe not even actually let alone not going to do our thing the hardest -- woes. We have Frankie Rodriguez. And we needed predictable move Mariano when we all know law. And that cut. Frankie Rodriguez a little bit short but looking back I mean because -- and a gold one and 23 -- shortened Boyd pitched. Noriega and K rod not to go to -- so it really it might cost us two outs but other than that relief -- We couldn't Figueroa or go to put and we we thought we handled -- about the only way we could. We we looked and looked and looked everywhere you Doug was second doesn't we went over this I -- I have a -- for the game and during the game. Just dictates something did happen we wouldn't get caught short."
" For being selected Jennifer as want to midweek hotel stay at Mohegan Sun Mohegan Sun will play my final question for Tito. How about the MVP of the game pretty good to have pretty good performance for an all star game rookie --"
" Yeah you know he was excited oh lead that they want people to invite slowing on the whole blog because pop up what we kind of statement. And then he'd he'd -- charged that ball -- would go boys go about right brilliant stadium. What you wanted to think do all the way to talk about that I I hope what buildings get lost in all of -- was. It was an unbelievable game -- usually baseball. Failed got treated to a lot of good based on -- barbecue so well what if what if while I understand that some way to deal look what that was like. Very entertaining game and then played I thought respectively. By all the players which is appreciated by us."
" However -- earlier it's very very rare. That you feel like you need to stay up and watch an all star game mean Joe Hagerty is not not during the games look at all of not not during the game. At times but I saw the winning run score at 137 went 38 this morning. You don't -- from an all star game that's that's a huge compliment me into the baseball."
" While our guys thought but I thought they did a great probably go to the way it was handled woods -- moved. It's hard not to did -- when Duke. You know not try to overplay it but I mean you'd start seems probable frames when they came off the field in the American League all they can accord dark out. It was just one after another -- It was hard not -- little bit humble I'm being GP. Do they just kept -- it was it was really need to report of the."
" Tito did you get a chance to see any of the the show that apparently David Ortiz was putting on some VP. Appearances over the last couple -- Yankee Stadium."
" Yeah I took the ball to people but that's second deck which is couldn't read books and -- to -- We actually had originally planned on giving him Sunday all the -- to accommodate building between. I don't think that if everything goes grip when he rather not do that you want to accomplish straight through we will certainly reserve the right to do you gotta put. It was going to try to place seventh straight. And could think it opens his getting ready to join us a little bit better -- struggles."
" I -- get some sleep have you had any yet."
" aren't at full. Right on schedule."
" There and I heard a good talking to you and good luck in the second half. -- That Terry Francona. Terry Francona has brought you -- AT&T -- more bars in more places switched to the wireless network with the best global coverage eighteenth he. Your world delivered."
