" But technically."
" The second half of the baseball season starts tonight but the Red Sox it doesn't start until tomorrow night. Joining us on the line right now is the play by play voice of the Boston Red Sox on NASA and a guy who has worked with the entire cast the blame is throughout the course of this season. -- Marcelo was with a say DO high you don't."
" God -- you don't do it very well."
" Well well the first question is do you still like this and and we you know we have her meanwhile on the road there's in the issues that we need talk about."
" I'm a little like you I love you you know that."
" A while love it's a lot today."
" So long relationship. Story land I'm going to. It was tremendous. I love storyline and -- bookstore LA and were up there every year during the All-Star break and it's perfect you know the that we had to -- Disneyland the year before last Busch Gardens last year the candidate. As but it where they'd rather go on it is storyline and I want to walk to the ridiculous you look back we went again you can't pass along. No it's viewed as tremendous places grown no leaks about that I -- at WW dot."
" But he didn't even have like why for kids there he was just there by himself. I -- Irish did elders had to come up to -- my name is John Irish."
" that I told that they have these standing in line with his daughter I'd probably couldn't believe that there's anybody else they're from Mombasa but he was there."
" Well let's talk about second half of the season you guys will go to Toronto today they'll work out tonight at. Rogers Centre in the kick off the so called second half of the season tomorrow what do you think about Buchholz starting tomorrow night's game."
" Well I was certainly surprised -- like everybody else to kind of figured that you may be worked his way into the Red Sox rotation at some point during the season the question more is weird to see fit and why hadn't. Gotta be honest about that a lot then it would be he was -- that I thought would be traded and that's still may happen but I just felt like there was no room form here. It was a tough situation I would go on by triple way it would seem that more times than not the guy gets frustrated keep was start to get a little frustrated. But I was dominating down their but it just felt like there was no room here -- how're we gonna do it this was -- usual I think you know become sort of a ball here a little bit. I'm looking forward to the outing but I'm still not sure where he fits in moving forward."
" DL you know the way Tito jumps on you about your clothes and rips on -- Yet like he he jumped on me yesterday when I asked him. If he thought the Red Sox should have had a -- had a bigger lead. Going into the All-Star break. At it and I understand where where he's coming from but I look at it this way they were up by five games. And I -- think their schedule was that overwhelming are are you surprised at the lead is only three right now given where where they were few weeks ago."
" I am Michael up for you why the fact that they have not lost yet BAT's. And they're still sitting there you know that that could be is the biggest difference of did you go head to head would you greatest nemesis dribbled BP every time. But yet there's still there I would say it's going to be at this point but I I've felt like could be more like a six game lead at this point. That's bad on the topic Tampa's out of this yet either -- I think there's going to be very etched in -- I think Ted is going to have a much better second half and they did in the first. If I I still believe it's three -- but I am surprised it's your question that they they don't have a bigger lead."
" You know you mentioned Tampa which reminds me of -- mad we talked about it -- yesterday and I know Joe Maddon very well he's been good to you. Did you did you think he was wrong in any way or did you were you disappointed in bad that he didn't get Wakefield and that All-Star game."
" I got a cup competition because I have great affection for Tim Wakefield -- is done they. -- about it remind my favorite players and so I got your 2001 he's he's been very good game and I just missed it and the -- on the weight through. So I was told formed first of almost have a great deal respect warning all the different World Series title all the time he's been held off the playoff roster. He's kind of -- up. They have kind of about run at times and been bad luck -- out so nobody got there in the first place I thought that was tremendous I looked at the guys -- could -- And if you look at -- bad games perhaps -- represented generally they have one good starter on the bad teams you figured that may be a problem for not getting their. Or it happened I was just -- form and I know he was thrilled to. That you're right -- do I'd do my job had a great deal the chance to work in the post season last year. I have their series and that he was you know very very good days and I think he's tremendous manager. I think any time did you can turn around the franchise's mind that the way he did it. As bad as that franchise wars and and get to the World Series it is truly amazing so. And I do take that that was the right role for my I think if you look at it in this game is to -- company which it does. It it would get -- on paper you get a guy that can give you a few innings at the end which Terry Francona ran into last year and didn't have that guy minute somebody J. D. Drew at one point for that spot so. I think it did make sense and I don't disagree with a."
" You know that the minute JP rich party said he was going to at least entertain the thought of trading Roy Halladay that that was going to. Juice up the period from now at the end of July in every city that that covets a great pitcher including this one. -- really see him pitching for another American League east team now."
" I have a hard time believing that only because I don't see why they would be -- it's it's counterproductive your future your rebuilding. And -- team better within your division it doesn't make much sense and that had the largest prospects perhaps the best thing you're gonna get comes from within the division. That's something -- going to have to figure out and I'm personal surprise that he's available everything I heard him JP in the past was. -- where -- built around this -- this is the guy this is our building -- you want to be here. I don't know where that change why that change whether. Are always thought process changes -- just in a lock to win here -- while I want to go I'm guessing that's what it is because. Everything -- heard in the past was this is well because I'm going to build around it makes sense. TV -- which -- going to build around. It'll be interesting to watch I think that there is no doubt -- people -- all -- would you give up to discuss. I would give up any anybody within our organization really ordered god this is the one guy I would make that statement -- so. Talk about -- buckled all your prospects. That the -- to a four because he's still young enough in his career. The most dominant pitcher I think individually and really the last guy of the old school thought process is going to ball not."
" How many of those prospects would you give up America let's say they asked for another some reports that JP was asking for five from the Cardinals. And that's a little much but how many would you be willing to give up if you view the Red Sox."
" I do want to give up four. I think that's -- are also probably would give up proximity. Of Major League caliber who could pitch for you now perhaps out of the bullpen just because -- keep -- in the past."
" Sounds like I'm Manny Delcarmen. Sounds like Manny Delcarmen to me."
" Could be could be that you know that that's in this economy and that is that we got bit by -- out -- who is still young enough. But I think for a guy like Roy held base you have to think about that Michael I'm not -- I've -- I'd I don't know because disagree but debate this guy is the -- pitcher."
" I know I don't disagree that he's well one of the premier pitchers are. I think the point I've made a couple of days ago was that if you told me I can help my choice between Holliday and Santana I'd probably take Santana. But you know it's one and one -- and there's not much to choose between the tool on. I I guess where I disagree as if I'm the Red Sox and I am going to put together a package of that magnitude. Does it mean that you got zero chance in the future of trying to acquire a guy like Joe Mauer if he's ever available."
" Space do you run now rest and we saw that would -- in the past that there was virtually nothing left after he made several of those trades within the organization. But development standpoint and you get a credit bill and and his group for really turn a battleground. They have produced well not a lot of position players the great great pitchers and it's been you know questioned whether or not do you want to do that again tonight. I have state and they let Stephen and the Red Sox baseball development group that they can turn this around quickly and and restock. To be it's just work that Roy Halladay. "
" DO you know you you could have the possibility of some news happening in Canada. If it -- Lowry comes back for this series and Mike Lowell comes back for this series. Yeah I have yet to roster moves yet to make one album. We think we know what's going to be Aaron Bates but everything's going to be be behind door number two."
" Well I I think you have to look at the obvious situation at shortstop which for whatever reason has not worked out for Julio Lugo. He was admitted as much that this is not gone away anticipated. Right from the get go really just didn't work ethic there are hopeful that his power numbers would be the way they weren't about. That from the heat had to standpoint he had he made some strides definitely got a -- put yours in the past but it's footwork was better he was getting better. But it just didn't work out and I think at this point this is an ownership group it's not afraid cannot bite the bullet work comes to. -- take guys -- the past with a couple lottery to read his money. I and I think they'll do resentment Julio Lugo -- I think it's just not worked out here. It -- is coming back in the guided you know you control load -- I think is going to be very very good. And you know degrees not a great job that both those guys can move around too which gives you great versatility. A Lugo at this point his career really can't move around sort of that was the one difference to drive upstate Julio Lugo. "
" Tito mentioned yesterday that he has butted heads with Lugo. On a couple of occasions. Just from you guys not being around the team covering the team have you ever got a sense of that did you did you ever get a sense that I should say and it was there ever. Any tension that you picked up."
" Never saw -- mentioned but I'm not surprised that the case. You've got a guy who's very proud that we know that competed very dreading it basically -- negate Tom on the starting shortstop. Did you look at it on paper the way things go on. Despite his salary he would tell you that he was not starting shortstop they had a great spring training in the in the knee surgery and everything else don't really know that. If the need surgery hadn't taken place where he'd be at this point. But I'm not surprised and he wants to play every day and I think it would be -- that would and that he didn't and how he feels like he's -- rob coherent. He's the guy that could all the money to the plate he should be playing. And it just doesn't happen and so on and it you know while I don't think he's beaten cancer at all the clubhouse I don't think you know he's been hobbled brother players percent. I think maybe about Terry Francona just because people want to play."
" Let's set Halladay aside for a moment and and say that that's the obvious move but will leave it alone. If the Red Sox do make a move between now and the end of the month and chances are they will. What's the type of player or position that you think they're looking to get."
" Well I think it's a lot rides on Michael return this weekend. Indeed the way things were going there it looked I was amazed Ossetia and spring -- wasn't moving around now well. I didn't know -- this -- major hip surgery for a guy who's not a young guy. Is this going to be something that works out we all watched the pain but he went through the post season last year. But then again there at any point every day. And things go well offensively he was used to go back to be at Michael -- sensibly get property to do I think he really couldn't do that what was. Run a 100% but you know looking for for Michael -- But as things started goes out there quickly pain came back you get the shot right away because he you know we feel good. On but you know you don't back into the grind it is a lot of games left in the second half but I think Tito's going to -- much -- this time give him more days off try to maintain that thank. But it can be if it this creeps back here in the next couple weeks all the sudden it becomes an issue. You're glaring need is third base and -- especially today as possible difference stuffed a written about Scott -- and demonstrating wouldn't division that -- make a lot of -- It but it felt like moving forward that's a concern others to."
" Want to ask you about you when asked you about your job I mean now we know DL and I we know that. It's difficult to work with somebody different. Will lead to one of us takes vacation."
" Yeah that that it happens I don't know. And it and your -- it's just."
" Never never days up a lot of -- vacation you know you gotta get used to somebody else. You have to do that pretty much for the entire year I'll be dealt with the."
" Well it has been very different from Naia I have to say that my experience in the post season with TBS really -- help in that area because. Of last couple years at the end of the year virtually the last -- season. Are you did your assignment to what series you're just not toward that you don't know for the most part -- number two. He did your partner which you don't know for the most part of -- haven't done great the national stuff which you don't really haven't so. That pod system he has been a big challenge of the last couple especially when they're talking about one game playoff. To the Padres and Rockies two years ago and I did know. Anything about it is going to -- you don't -- did not know my partner go unanswered about was -- far larger challenge I'd feel but. That said that experience help now a lot this year because -- you know would spend. A great -- on the work with different guys each night in. And be cognizant of their strikes. If you talk into a buck Martinez you know who goes to get everybody gains. It's different than if you're talking to Dave Roberts who basically distraction to become what he had on the field and and what he did offensively. And running wise and and try to bring that out but it has been differed on the and it's never been boring. This weekend it will be my 23 partner of the year. Which is quite if you look back -- going to be joining incident through this weekend but it has been a great deal of fun."
" Heck I get asked all the times so why no you get asked all the time. Saw last like everybody else does house Jerry Remy do."
" You know I really don't know on the I we've we've talked couple times that he's sped away. You know people come to given him his privacy too. Take care of things in as far as we know he's open to come back -- the July -- great to have him back obviously and it's been a very strange year for all the -- but certainly our person wishes go out to Hammond can hope that he's doing okay -- that last dirty is doing better which is great news and was open a comeback towards the end of July and certainly would hope that happens."
" How many of volumes is the act to English dictionary up to now."
" Our -- had been disputed -- has that kept me on my feet I guess I don't know you know made it it's I'd just what I think I got it -- figured out he'll come out some but now sort of like -- what was that what does that mean exactly you know result. We've got a lot of thought and you don't start to get all the different. Up parts of cheese in the different that the thing that they've made it how many different ways cheese can be interpreted."
" You know idea of all the guys you worked with no disrespect meant. I love act on the games."
" Well he could get to do the most and I think -- athletic guy who got the most comfortable you know I think that's -- duty done more than anybody else and he's done that in the past. Steroids and in this is Sutton that it teaches you is more important that we do. -- level what are the national local on the news. He's very comfortable in years would -- appears to -- often here on the here. And I think he's done a great job but he certainly got a lot of fun."
" Maybe as the ten year old in me coming out but I love it when you get the giggles. On the air you can't stop laughing."
" Do -- public -- dead at most times."
" Check it out now -- and if how hard was it for you to keep going the day he dropped the F bomb on the."
" Real commitment to count out whenever before in my life the joke is that. -- and I cannot think about -- that and I hit that. He week at the end of the break any good -- at all times but have you done that nine years -- that I'll never. I didn't realize that the other thing about masses -- later in the game. I got home and checked out my laptop and take a look at the board it's that -- worst. Public admit I would sit next to do I don't know. Like I did not -- And apparently after a politically deep right though we prepare that would open our world that."
" are so funny because that is that they about about read you go with the let's. It goes let's just move on."
" Yeah. I can definitely be a."
" Really get out the way it's it back help what you think about it's not that far inside any sort of looked said. And never."
" I can't do that -- definitely it definitely and then there's no -- get a final and your announcement."
" But that's -- did this year you'd probably like you knew before how popular. Jerry Remy was and how popular he is you're probably finding out even more so now that he's not he's not on the broadcast."
" I knew I -- anyway anyway and in your absolutely right there across the majors leagues which hurt somebody different people not just stand but also people we work with from a baseball standpoint -- There's so many people that he's touched over the years have been in the weeks along. That you don't that no question about it and you know certainly all our our thoughts with Jerry."
" Have a great time up in Toronto this weekend thank you for being -- will look forward to talking to -- against him."
" But I guys -- they appreciate the addition."
