Now but that's been a change and you haven't felt that way previously have you."

In other about residence and president Austin and you know if it's nice to see. Those guys and -- be able to haven't. Enjoyed it will be --"

" and watching Jon Lester what brought him over the threshold."

" Jon Leicester and John Farrell and Jason -- You know it takes expecting. There's just. A mentor peace it's only appropriate that it would -- coaches bring. You know that Jason Varitek brings to the plate the a lot of dirt ball however don't who brings in John has -- it we want that. You know he's. He made there's been I don't think you can look at this staff and said you know Juan -- pretty good number courier well well law. I think he straightened mediate I think he believes he can do Latin. You know that's going to be one of those things -- the push everybody has that would that would."

" I think you one of those guys you for the Red Sox with the Red Sox it was kind of prided yourself on being a stopper of sorts when the the team was in a little bit of -- losing funk Leicester this year. Five and 11 point four when he IRA after Red Sox loss is what is it. What does it take for a pitcher be that kind of a stopper in what is it about Jon Lester that's allowed him to be that --"

" I IA always that was something that I always had in mind that that was something that it's kind of -- after that to a lot of people will probably start. To do it consistently and for for both of bunkers I'm -- I always. Knew what we. Not that no one knows but I always allowed between the people or have an impact on -- in -- pot where we thought -- before. I felt a little bit more pressure and make -- go and pitch well and and that was always good for. I didn't I didn't make the overdo it it didn't make me overthrow it it but it may be I would open maybe it's better and there's almost in some cases you know that the game that that two game they'll remember. Pitching or in this in this city beyond all the also the -- that there's September game in -- or against Boston Baltimore. When it struck out fourteen and we -- nothing -- in the ninth. There was September we've lost some games in in the opening game. Last year the the near no hitter not because of the near no hitter but because -- with us for a rock. Those are doing but I remember and also think that are big in China has that mentality. To be able to do I think. When he was younger last year here before. He if you got nervous and worked -- it affected him in the overthrew that he's starting to learn how to be the exact opposite now and that's witnessing."

Don't in the big leagues and morneau month because they're owners and tonic that the I have to go with -- the physical talent. And -- in the they've got the pass in the desire would be better nobody else that's what was him and it was him make him I think one but it it is in the intro."

That the season started late for me. Retreat in the normal for me were always the hardest -- be consistent. Because you start out if you remember he started out in public or inning and throttle. His first start and and eat at a at a good start ran out of gas and -- on the Duke beat. And from me when I've ever done in the past I've always try to make up literally in a two game don't want. And and I never could find a groove and and I think he is it is that's what pat and so -- desire to be. Best pitcher in the game. That he can he can overdo it consultant on the bench is that the you know candidate if you remember as a big league apart. If not he could be. Greater retired now but I outplayed us. When -- October calendar turns. He's got the ball game one in the real --"

" This is your question number one man."

" Oh no no question in October because the beautiful thing about October was. For me it did that it's almost like -- since returning -- the regular season. Nothing count nothing matters and up and and that October guy -- beat the other being in October meant that that I would now better than everybody else."
