" I before we get any further let's just go to Iowa little equipment jacare headphones they're working okay. Like you hear the music can equate you with us our microphones work and RI yup we're also -- The old --"
" Dot where I got to go to game but the Eldorado gold chain now where's that it's another if you ask where's that in six and their. It did is that the buttons go lower with every single game unfortunately yes."
" When when you know I was at a rooting for the Google I figure out I think a lot of people are over the weekend. Frank viola as a lot of -- that talked it we've -- on the show way back when in the day I mean the he's he's buried down her from you know normal kind of guy. Not so good. But but in a Booth with the old you know he's -- like a fancy a couple of times talking about we see some small ball you know Chris Woodward up -- to but he's fought. Democracy -- the bunt down but I'm a thick -- gonna be a hitter theater. And it was just it was interesting to see. His side of -- being a -- being in there and some of these came out of the accident I think it's just the accident that everybody Terri just said that he -- unfortunately sounds like an extra on the soprano yes and Red Sox fans -- never -- open. But I mean it sounds like keys from 200 miles out they hear and it's a little grating for everybody. But -- dog New England turns its lonely eyes hello I mean -- I don't know you know warrior mountain. I -- but -- ram -- it was great in the -- it was written out here was Anderson reception and gave him I was gonna happen after I watched the two games on Saturday and Sunday and today it was going to be like and you would you too. I'd be listening to. Earning chaired John Jerry -- 6:30 this morning when via alarmed -- insurance up frank. I you know it's that's a somehow some say it's Terry Francona this ball just imagine. Manager and then make an -- makes your report our manager in the big. An. Audience the Texas Rangers in their ballpark good hitting team very good -- the -- ball around. It's and Brad Penny to the mountain one of the -- games you're gonna send -- it is -- to the mound in the other of the weekend games and he's going to be making the second Major League start. I don't having national lead line right. Have a National League line yeah I -- you'll have. This whole. And no disrespect meant arsenic is David Ortiz might be listening on line battle won the negative here but at no disrespect meant. But Casey Kotchman Brian Anderson and Alex Gonzales 179. Hitters. Go to Texas and and take on line up with what you got that brought on the field."
" And every time you see that the bottom three last year we -- beginning of the year it always seemed to the middle of the lineup is getting on base in -- get first and second nobody out here comes the bottom three the timing of it. Doesn't work and push a plane with 24 guys not give Kevin Youkilis -- the J. D. Drew pulls up. Tonight get two guys they line up it just it didn't mix well you know when he got guys like this Alley and Brad Penny and -- mound. Okay they're not Josh Beckett and Brad an enemy and -- Jon Lester but. -- got -- courts of have to put up separate runs for these guys you have to that's either a full five guys yet. You have to go out and scored some runs in this team right now is and they're searching for that line trying to get healthy. It is an."
" Awful thing to watch win you've got these big holes and not think about your gonna get Kevin Youkilis back tomorrow night thank god. The fight game suspension is over -- You're still gonna have Alex Gonzales playing shortstop most of the time and and you know we said this last week when -- money rademan I was all for it I'm still all -- Resign yourself to the fact that he can't get their Epstein would eat yet he is -- picture. At the at the numbered lines mod your batting York -- he's the same as having the picture there yet yet so you -- you know you listen to solve that you're still gonna have that. I mean I don't know old. What JD -- issues are psychologically don't immediately or any other way. It's not it's thing if if rams don't pay total attention to every moment of the game and understand because we -- at all well just let somebody. And when you'll say who it doesn't matter -- Ryan Anderson. J. D. Drew. Do you not even have a clue. That there's nobody left on that bench to go -- right field for you the -- but the bottom of the tenth inning that killed me me how do you not even. You didn't see Clay Buchholz running for Jason Varitek -- So Kotchman scored first Martinez go behind the plate and run out of bodies here and you don't even know."
" You know you can tell you could tell the urgency and the pressure of of what's going on here -- season Bible you read in the colts from Terry Francona. That there there's probably never before we ever hear that story what just happened. GD asking to come out of the game in the ninth inning or whatever eighth inning and saying hey I nightclub and I've -- IKEA I I America back on -- I I can't put anybody else who might open of the pitcher in right return to a circus. The fact that those quotes came out the -- he talked about the play -- Brian Anderson. To stopping on a -- not knowing what he was doing he started talking and newspaper beat beat cult disguised -- you can tell the pressures start to get to this team especially. Especially him but this time a year the way this team is planned. Why shouldn't -- There's a of people never quite understand about Francona in Andy's been here five years you'd think they would they would get it by now. He manages the game for them in April may June July as he dies later in the year you go back at. 2004. And -- law are being replaced in the line up. I mean. He manages differently when you start to get closer to. You know yeah I think a lot of and -- rate up here you know. What used Clay Buchholz to run for Jason Varitek in June at Selena are and I got us and I wish you can use him in August. -- I that the I don't have a problem with talked about all we -- a problem with you know with two outs. Pinch running a pitcher because with two outs and balls hit to take off replica -- your fast if Massa Ellsbury we hear you know. Just take off with -- well hopefully yeah -- much -- by abide either but still he looked pretty fast. But with one out and first and second down around there's a lot going on your mind as a base ready got a freeze on a line drive. The ball hit the gap you gotta get off seeking score yet he's gonna catch it may be give backseat intact this too much of a thought -- buckles is not a base runner. With there's -- there's even -- I was at second base to be a lot of things go through my mind with two outs all they races when the ball to take off. With two outs I don't mind at an asset on Ivan. Well we about the injury concern which should have been -- concern I just don't like it with."
" One well and the other thing here is and and I think Terry and or Brad Mills and or John -- somebody fell asleep at the switch here. Because the minute they thought it was a possibility. I don't think they gave him quite have enough advance notice if you read only Benjamin got hold rundown of how what happened. Running back to the clubhouse to get -- spikes on your shirt on and and that is is uniform shirt on but it puts the wrong shirt on he comes back out. I mean they had wanted to insert and for Varitek and out sooner than they did. But couldn't get the right shirt on he's got a unique shoes tied I mean. My guess is that's the sort of thing where. Where normally you know in the eight -- they said Buchholz listen I don't know what's gonna happen here but -- you better be ready you know what kids were little short on guys and depending what happens here. And it's sort of sounds like the minute Varitek."
" Got as far as second base like. It's -- exactly and and I weary -- even more. Because if you're a second base he got a guy but the how many times he got -- with a baseball try to Bonnie miss -- come up fired a second get the guy can he's cheating. We could buckle does know what do -- don't wanna ban which -- and ready out there so lonely he might even the picked off which by the but one of those balls and moderate through it but that's why I don't. I just I just don't like it now appears the ALCS like I said. Forget about the injury risk only there's two up at the fastest runner great. And that's why say this this team is screaming for September -- the -- for these -- to expand the -- to get Rocco Baldelli in the sign opened and Josh -- on the bench and Brian Anderson and suspension and Dice-K in Wakefield that guitarist and -- pinch hit for Jason Varitek in a word about what -- you know moving victor. I just I just think this roster right now they -- an attractive -- two weeks and and the problem is used to get two weeks the that is the pro."
" And a and a lot of bad things can happen between now and two weeks now last week. And now when Kevin Youkilis and had enough and chart the amount and Red Sox Nation almost as one. Boy they needed I had this team and and I remember the next day saying that's all right noble like the suspension. I said whatever number of games he's gone. This team doesn't do very well -- that stretch -- ball very much I don't wanna hear people calling him pitch in about losing games because you're not. Best hitter just sat by. And for something that did not think this team and it was the point making the day after. And killed two. Baseball. It can't get hit the lot. After one you can think about that would finesse team what is I doubt you -- To his credit understood. -- the -- he's gone I'll what I'll think here the -- no doubt he was gonna sit down. That he thought it was going to be more than five what's why didn't appeal. He understood that he'd put himself before the team and this team -- but now. Just the leaders gave -- would have mattered was no I said it then I'll say it now. Your lineup would no matter the way he was the."
" In Texas and you'll what you would have a nucleus that yet. You beat the same thing people call in Wednesday. That's the way the fans reacted this team they needed that it's exactly what this team need to -- they came Bakken won this gonna be one of those. Jason Varitek A-Rod moments it's gonna turn a year around. And I don't see that as a teen thing I thought I looked at -- isolate avenue coolest thing. He basically said you know I don't blame I've had announced it gets yeah Patton who writes in a row I've had enough and I charged the mound. But I don't think that team was innocent you know yeah all right escort their support them and you know this that everything -- given mucus like you said after the game he realized that. He's now here we are two and three out of the wild card race didn't help that did this team had that big lift other much better now because of that fight other."
" Out of the wild card as of right now so yeah it did -- a -- I don't I don't I'm not right panic. But you'd take a look at that you work trotting out there -- some this was beyond Kevin you okay. You know J. D. Drew as tweak a point again and and Rocco Baldelli. -- imagine all those old ball it's. And they're like. Now on bodies it is yeah. Two days after it. Here yeah. It probably help yeah all thirteen more hopeful we can put you back in line. I elect I think and."
" Hour after he said my ankles or you my phone was sort response. -- I honestly think that it was a situation to where they just needed a body and it looked at -- they looked at Rocco instead a much freaking give us three days in a row. We need someone who can give us three days in a row and I don't wanna deal Jason Bay is we can have back in five days I don't -- for fifteen. J. D. Drew still nursing a groin I don't want to lose him for two weeks if you got to get him back in two days right now what do I have to deal well. If if I Celtic Rocco can play 34 days in a row. I have the DL -- bring up a Josh rhetoric. So now I think they sit there saying well I mean it was sitting --"
" I mean you go back to this and and two to three -- credit when I asked him about this last Thursday. He acknowledged that hindsight being 20/20 and they know they were gonna be able to get the Victor Martinez deal if they knew that -- And that was still way up in the year as he said dating get it until like an hour before the deadline if they had no they were gonna be able to do it. Wouldn't have dealt kotsay to Chicago for Brian Anderson and Mark Kotsay is exactly what this team needs desperately right now. A guy who couldn't -- plate in the outfield for yet and not look foolish. Who can step in at first base when you've got to move Victor Martinez behind the plate instead of Casey Kotchman. He's exactly what they need right now and they don't have. And instead we get Josh Redick in here we got Brian Anderson it by the way. -- is Ken Harrelson phone number. Just you know a little internal radio thing and."
" Anderson has really been struggling this year as a -- just going to be helpful. He's the closest thing we have to a five tool player."
" Of the regular. There -- crime he's great defensive player and he's -- and a mix up in right field. Never really played right field before technical political Ellsbury -- o'clock to. Come right if you can place Satterfield and that's all it's ever play right corner outfield positions are easier for the ball off the patents -- I don't know I think I. It's much now -- the help those who say -- center field the ball is true you concede off the bat great feel left field the ball spins always the line when no matter what it is the lefty hook and it. If it's a writer look at it -- slice it down the line whichever it is the center field they say is easier. But I think it's a familiar situation yes and played right field. He's with Jacoby Ellsbury -- the kick in fly. I don't know what happened on that ball he should've caught the ball but is that he's not familiar with -- much ground Jacoby can actually cover it oh yeah."
" Like about -- have been able to right. David Wright -- now. Well you got a day off today thank god Kevin Youkilis is back tomorrow. I that'll help some I mean make no mistake about it it'll help some. But you still gotta gotta play it short who's not going to be able to hit for you. You may or may not have a guy in right field who's not gonna be able to hit 4 yeah. I am. I have no idea whether J. D. Drew is gonna be ready to go again tomorrow or not. I know Terry as you said was a little more forthright than normal than with talked about we gotta get a couple of days."
" Coupled is not fix -- they they see what's given -- up on Tuesday as the left the I don't think -- could afford to do that on the can afford to run out -- Brian Anderson J. D. -- to you know numbers aren't great against lefties. But you still need this lineup he's gonna put this team to get when they traded for Victor Martinez a lot of people envision him catching and a Mike lower J. D. Drew hitting eighth. We have not seen that yet because of injuries because whatever circumstances throughout I think at the start -- best lineup -- beaten up once -- team."
