" Good morning and welcome to DNC -- out Bradford voter IRA and I in team mice want all -- rob -- excuse I can see my on my seed -- Well yeah. It just feels a mile. Those work and on the dial. Everyone who like gave an opportunity and built up does something in in name and and and worked -- the bill Walsh have the radio a medium to start maker if it everyone that I brought I -- all star break year from now on everyone I give a cracked two. Seemingly now is come -- and made a name for themselves that they rob Bradford. Was originally Mike Felger show my co -- til Hagerty. Bob Allen who now I guess you won't be seniority that team but be that as it may I give him his break. Rob Saturday immortal -- bitter way to get your break it. And behind us they don't Vargas taking credit from my success out here absolutely -- I want to cut judges -- typical this -- My spot my seat -- to see it everywhere and at. Meterparel still sick still can't figure out what's gone out of them typical. Start maker Rockefeller. Rob Bradford I'm on -- Comcast sports that apparently. Yeah I'd -- about that name two more marquee players to their webs that was any indication -- going to be now. That's -- check this site moving right along both events will say this big big ground -- on the -- the ribbon cutting but the ground meaning all be writing that they all. -- is going to be writing. It here. But -- and you're you're making some more big game iron yeah. -- game. -- Down to -- me. Last night. Story of the game idea opening -- buckled I am a little doubt on this guy and -- rob -- Pretty changed from yesterday I've about reached the end well I'm I'm -- big pitcher very fine I mean I have been I think he's good. -- We don't know how to throw a fastball. To be a good starting pitcher and all get out of the well he's afraid he's scared. Crap was to throw that pitch after he gave up a home run outscored which about inside fastball yeah. Was -- Curve ball curb walker ball curveball off speed and four more balls than other off speed and whenever you would -- fastball. It was either at the ankles or at the neck he was afraid to adapt. -- riddle me this army to throw that fastball anywhere near the plate and then it became. And score wells -- But he can't throw it every flipping pitch again ruby. Howry each week after. But a good question their ticket out there quite a bit and that was my question. -- question -- irritable about the great game manager pitchers. Where is our captain where's that -- was so valuable at managing the pitching staff put tumbled one yodel at last the last time needed that. -- we've -- while Indian little fingers. He sent Ron -- ball. Keep an eye on what he did last night rob it's what he did last night it was in theory. And and and the secondary pitches are still the ball is built beat the changeup is incredible. But it all works out the fastball and he wasn't what did you notice that alone on the value -- You're not island and he threw -- in every situation he threw three balls with two strikes when he needed to swing and miss when he needed contact. And don't go Royals times -- sat out there are few opposite field it's just sitting on packer ball the ones they just -- college who lost that third inning. Is he a disaster last night but it seems like. It's the stuff but there's something this out there that approach."
" It -- is the -- that you laid out for himself last year he's the number five starter are rookie number five stories -- should be. He's not performing like everyone wants him to -- everyone expected him to. But this work to be done just like that worked beat there's less work to be done and Jon Lester had. In his two years two and half years to get to where is now. You shouldn't but I mean is not easy eight -- patients and in in the middle and it race by. I don't know why you say that he's got less to work on them last year. Yet how are going to take Jon Leicester to get to where he is now -- wonder about 2006 through 2007 yet."
" I don't want about Lester -- gets -- This -- awaits the atomic attack wrap around his neck you know he should be oval a leadership role. Wins more than once it adds up at whim or that once every three months and twelve garbage around your neck. -- as it's called like you have to earn your Josh Beckett. Jackass we're not winning and you that. Doesn't address the next situation I'm not getting argue on that. Okay so that's -- he's young and -- five starter. We just gotta be what you thought I'd sell the other line ignited three pitchers -- only got to accept it or more runs in. What was amusing I don't -- because of the innings after the outscored nobody stopped on fastballs and huge trouble in the third inning at that day. He has four run that that you did get in the seventh inning it was close to a quality start -- by the you know the technical definition but that was encouraging way to pitch. Kansas City Royals -- another playing better but line."
" It's you mean here in pitches wells everyone one to pitch for a lot of people expect some expect to pitch and he hasn't been doing that all year. But again this as a kid who'll. He's not going to be the pitcher he was last year. Yes the work the Duke that's why he goes to pot pocket adjust his arm angle to get better fastball command and all that it's. Still would you would you say okay R Clay Buchholz probably trade him in the Nazis tell irate but so but I went back one of the reasons. It's. Just before you say it's -- your -- rated for some reason but. Way way when -- I I told you I just told you heated debate might as well as anybody would want X I'll get off his back. Miami is is the five alarm fire -- he pitched poorly I just try to it's just to kind of state that is clearly as I can you know what. If if if if we're going to have a talking point we're talking point oh last night's game in afforded three game -- they buckled it well that while one robberies six and seven hits six innings the remarks are right that's not good at a game where the guy gives -- that goes six innings seven hits four runs not. Not good not what you want one okay but not terrible and that game I other focus on the back. You -- don't match you -- the Kansas City Royals Hewitt Dave Ortiz real quick it is it is rest. I mean all these things are more important that if Clay Buchholz gave up four runs and exit."
" I disagree I think Clay Buchholz is more important to this team. Is -- about the pitching at one of the reasons I think for me personally rob the reason I think the Red Sox are one of the top three to five will be -- because starting pitcher I agree better than everybody else. And in my. -- here's the deal clip buckled as high ceiling dubious yes and he ended by by all accounts he probably will be. This year now that worries me because I don't think it's. Rookie years I don't trust him Wakefield would be that and it's kind of his rookie year -- mine. It's kind of his -- What. What difference does it because a fifth start but did you want him to be that. They don't need him to be that right now they want him to be better certainly every time you what do starting pitching amount you don't want him to give up four runs in six innings by. In the in the world of fifth starters six innings four -- it's not the end of worth and all signs point this guy only immediate batter in my mind in my mind the Red Sox of formal because. They're they're four pitches in the post season. Would be back Leicester match I have guys buckled Buchholz. This off and his potential and his arm rob. To me. Was a key part of that -- they have some wiggle room at some wriggle room they got Wakefield or maybe Bartolo Colon so -- it together buckled isn't good enough for the rest the season. But they're not the same policies -- team to me if the fourth starter is Wakefield or colon that it is. Clay Buchholz and his potential COLT has six off rob that's why they buckles of pitching as opposed. Bartolo Colon is not pitching star in the post season. That that issues move it. Would have put buckled pitching as well as he's capable of guilt that you starting -- that."
" If he was making as well as he was last year each hour -- bullet but is due -- absolutely you have two guys you have Josh Beckett who obviously would pitch in the post season you have Jon Lester would it -- the best starters in the American league of Wakefield -- you -- dismissed. It's one of the have been one of the best start the American League you Daisuke Matsuzaka orchids they'd want that top fifteen stars in the American League. Despite the frustration that -- have four starters right there and you're complaining about the -- started giving up four run sixth inning and how he's knocked -- in the post your fourth starter and that's an aerial. I'm less than competent and I think to wait and probable and what he's done this aren't present -- Tim Wakefield has been pitching and fourth starter he's been pitching like number two starter. I can read -- that -- can read the numbers I know what he's done so Florida court we're -- this this hypothetical. What's going to happen to Tim Wakefield -- months went what does Tim Wakefield or not are you what it's all you want to talk about the here in the -- you can say well what's quite -- the track record last year and he pitched pretty it'd. You know it's it's what your your four days to figure argument what is Tim Wakefield striker. Of the opera and a -- He's been out for months and months shore based on his track record -- recent history there's a down coming and it that out -- in September and October you're in trouble again in my opinion you know what I think Eddie Clay Buchholz a bit better about that. -- what do you base that -- that's why last night because I may I ask hundreds of young pitchers improved and you don't need to pitch better right now it's at this -- has improved this year that -- while you -- the argue when you start talking about the post season because when you go. It would Bartolo Colon Bartolo Colon is pitching Pawtucket tonight. Okay well hold on argument is that it's okay the starter socks and it's okay no doubt enjoy each side of that -- no -- arguments well -- that that is by his dog is your fifth starter he's supposed to sake. Let's go to the ball that much of an argument keep telling yourself that will be throw. -- argument. You know the fifth that make a difference that's all right if if if he doesn't pitch well I think as a side note and a -- right today clarify. What I what I said was pressed the ball because -- six innings gave up four runs he's the fifth starter youth are bringing up the post season and how important vote -- because the last night's performance that we have to start -- about the policies when the kids screaming and in the post season before rob if he's pitching those capabilities he is he's that good. -- because he's pitched poorly in the past. You say well I'm going to dismiss him totally -- More ridiculous that you're willing to think that Tim Wakefield based on recent track record is going to be the exact same guy from here through luck -- it's a long -- but to get a -- I want you want to -- another one who want to talk about the -- in the now right guy you want talk about the here than now with -- buckle he should be better guy -- well guess what Tim Wakefield is -- So -- I mean so you want to going to be Mike is that going to -- now the going to be if you."
" I guess we're not a lot of criticize young for starters well we'll just we'll just taken off the table people Clay Buchholz. And it's five point 94 ERA Clay Buchholz and it's 217 record despite having sex. Plus ace quality stuff but it can't throw a fastball wicked looked scared out there are okay the kid -- basically got more but he's done it a -- starters."
" of I don't know that's not what I said and you can keep saying that over and over again is not going to be through so cute it's his sixth inning gives up four runs. This is what you biggest concern are coming off of last night's game that's your biggest concern -- if the biggest story line the second and about as that. Arty feels the click in his wrist. That's not the biggest storyline is pretty -- David Ortiz are going to the Boston Herald says my last -- bat it kind of pulled back a little bit now Ortiz finished the at bat he grounded out. He says you feel that look like and you get a little concerned about it. It's on him as a Roddy running from Kansas City while Ortiz did not know whether the problem would affect his status for tonight's game. He knew he might experience some instability in his -- at the turn attendance seat. Earlier in the season. So we don't know how bad it is Perot Ortiz that was just click it's that -- something that he noticed -- last at bat no status report for tonight. Something we talked yesterday which rob totally want to dismiss on saw a -- to bring up this number Robb's going to reflect negatively on the Red Sox. I know I I know that hurts you but since the -- Manny Ramirez trade Ortiz has one for fifteen with four walks I. Thought I'd get up."
" I create a side you know I've figured okay. Favorite these -- is restless bring you back the reality here okay when you mentioned this yesterday was one for ten Imus in the fact that. The focus was how is Manny Ramirez's absence going to effective Ortiz. David Ortiz is not throwing the bat rate while right now do you think that the fact that he went. Once or what do you -- for five last night I don't know where did exactly LSI's one for fifteen last night what was over five via okay so. Do you think the fact that -- with another -- then he went one for five and hasn't been -- timing hasn't been there. And he hasn't been swinging the bat do you think right now as we sit here that has a me to do mostly -- Niedermayer is be to his first timing that he's just not feeling right now RC maybe he's a little worried about the rest. Which you know are probably put up there because the fact that he's talking about feeling -- going to be in the back of his mind."
" All of the above and I felt that back in April and I was going to say this tropic of actually belted a -- we feel we actually say okay -- Ortiz was going to have a down year what are even as you can you can still feel it would be wrong -- It's -- on -- but the minute appeal. It if it feels good athletic -- if you feel you can sit and -- if you see it you should probably say it. Like an ice thought young protester I of -- up get the big draw I thought I'd done vigil last night. Is not a broke leg and should be better that's what my eyes told me so -- if you're reluctant to do that."
" That's your problem well maybe I tell you what exactly how I feel that's the reality in. It doesn't fit your argument I'm sorry -- your argument is that he's young he's at the start -- what you expect. I -- that now now -- I expect more I think he should agree that as bad for a while that's not my argument that much argument is I'm saying today. He gave up four runs in six innings he gave it to wells everyone. I can read about I know right okay well you so what's you know if you can read the box what you should know that David Ortiz at risk the butt bigger if you didn't. Clay buckled the fact -- how how can the Red Sox survive quite buckles of it in the -- he's even though you're up four starters who are perfectly suited right now out of it in the post or your argument then going back to the pitcher I bite my argument is Vick clay buckle has not had a good year. Has not -- up to expectations. By all sides -- day he's probably going to improve he's not the pitch of every one wants them to be right now and that doesn't make people happy in that. Partly -- in the middle and it race but still. He's probably going to improve here."
" Okay so your argument is that the last night's game. Don't worry he's still going to improve yes I'm just on narrow it down. You get you get more neutral park and that it's not -- championship aspiration wise because they've still got four starters that you feel very good about. Clay Buchholz was not to pitched pretty good between now and then. To be in the postseason and Leicester going to put him in the bullpen I thought he was capable maybe he's. Maybe he's not I thought -- Rick if you pitch like -- at last years old and capable. Just Wakefield pretty capable of it's a lot of hard time throughout exactly what your your your statement is my statement is. Buckled disappointment thought it was going to be in the mix the recent article here's here's a disappointment coming off last year and it -- they're negative because -- About David Ortiz. I've felt that he'd be down this year regardless I felt it was. I -- people stations all time. What evidence do you have after got to that horrendous first month evidence do you have that this could be the beginning of the emperor Ortiz and my response that was I don't know. Size. Age. Size image in wanted to know. Another thing would be the whole I think both he and -- American -- little bit. This year so and you David Ortiz and awful for smiled then and not contact and in pop and all them kind of injury. So I I I just forgot on by the way it was good that second month while he was bad the first month and -- second month. Like but we want -- we -- you feel about that I love you my point is my expectations Ortiz were not this year and I still think that overall that pitching. Is more point and then the offense -- still think offense is. Ortiz think is the concerns about a bottom -- to answer that yes it's a concern Mexicans."
" You know he's got that month that you want to mention he would create the but he home runs and but we don't want to mention that month through resulted match -- tournament but how is that relevant right now the real well -- okay he comes back and hit 391 in July. Right so your argument is look -- good right now even though he he's gone what is gone through this little flop over the weekend. So that's that supports your argument has little something he's got through over the weekend you can take the first month you ask me the first month and he jumped right -- at fifty at bats. To start the year and now I don't blame you for not listening to on the dial who would but I did it over and over and over again there to start the season. That Ortiz would be under 310300. Of his that was my OK well I got a boat dealer where we're okay that's nicely -- wages around good for you but you know it. The fact is is that of course that told number's going to be down because via this injury but still. You haven't addressed exactly what I said to adapt birth month and any jump up you jump -- at the at bat he had a good month -- okay -- If you can you -- if he's going to dismiss that month on what does this -- great month they'll where's your argument you had a bad first month. What he had he had I don't get to this morning what does this what you drink. Not that well is that. That's my power shots or what you are McNamee honestly -- power shot maximum boost for the probably due event warning labels that this is. It does they go up isn't label on a lot of liquid energy supplement. Coincidence that -- here we do what I felt that the -- that was going on digital. The point Ortiz -- to collected his -- you know why."
" go back. All of a -- your argument. You just change the subject of this argue I eyes start to sort it out and I still. And -- what you said you said okay guys get you Ortiz could be -- every down because yet about parts about an idea about -- fifty at bats and that's my argument I'm not going to even match in the affected me at 319. And in the second month or the fact that he -- food. 33 anyone in in what July my back my -- when he. I -- say -- added that -- month -- I sat on the season when the season's over you could be under these -- injured right but now are you saying the USA at a big -- that was your original argument -- look I think it's going to have a bad bad season I'll write down your exhibit down okay used to have a down year to start the year is that and what's that you mention. Which do you -- to support your argument. What what you mentioned the support your -- when I started the year I said he got his sought out well I don't I'm not talking about that Rangers set. But then you said okay and look what he's done so what did you say you said he had a bad. Bat -- month right. And then he skipped the last fifty at bats rob once again I never would have a good month. Well you UK they'll it's a season. You're a -- and you bought into that well Fed at the end 162. The under these shall write about individual sure that good will to support your argument you said he had a bad first month and then you didn't mention anything else and tell me that -- once again he had a good second month and rob. Okay and then when he came back -- 391 -- look at. Not that I heard before. He had a good month at the fourth line yeah okay. And a year ago -- back in your -- Europe right the that's fine there's nothing wrong with that or say is if you gonna make if you guys that pitcher. Do more than when that -- month. Which you didn't."
" Okay so -- new story I think that buckled to the concern I thought it was going to be great he looks like he's regressed David Ortiz feels the click. In that wrist that's obviously concerned whether rob. And understand -- to have a down year or not Mike Lowell his boy out with a hit up. It's a shot last night data also doesn't look good Jacoby Ellsbury benched again he's not an everyday ball player. Anymore and his numbers Tony broken out today in The -- would get some of that I think. That I think Jacoby Ellsbury is more important this offense and David Ortiz right now or pretty are close. Neck and -- open a deal like that that's bad news bad news around the division go to the yankees' Joba Chamberlain leaves his game. Against Texas Rangers in the fifth inning with right shoulder stiffness that doesn't look too good look at it that. I've finally got to get some Brett -- things off my -- I've held back but. I can't take it anymore the Brett Clark thing. I mean obviously."
