AL Leiter, MLB Network

" Joining us on the phone lines you've seen him win two World Series -- is a nineteen -- Major League career you've seen his work -- studio analyst with fox and yes network is well and with Major League Baseball network Al Leiter joins us on the phone lines warning now how aria."

" Good morning I think they got in the middle of the pretty deep there."

" Yeah we were we were discussing but some time discussing the of those New Hampshire murders that I -- you read about -- just chilling to the bone. It's all about let's talk about pitching rotations and matchups here now. You know. -- it can I ask you the question delighted to have my partners on the air and see if if you know the answer what you would Brett Favre now Hammett have in common now."

" Were both of over forty. That's true poorly thrown to them and I want for a seven yard. That --"

" He like you. Reverend victories against all of the Major League or NFL teams you'll."

" Oh -- what how well the first one you know I know now and visit based -- Kevin Brown and a few others have done it but. Yeah triangle but they had 32 yet."

" Yeah they have 32 -- yours was thirty and both yet he played ninety Barbie and go another 5020 on top of that but you bull like nineteen years. -- to -- the national."

" Had started his career -- what you know and that's where are considered the -- you know. I guess. Born we're still I played out for help so. It's all a blur now this -- an --"

" might seem fair that the Minnesota Twins were rolled into their hotel room right about now maybe they had up. Muted celebration on the plane and they have to go against the vaunted New York Yankees about ten minutes."

" Well you know what that they should play to 160 Q games than what it has as look the other instead. -- rotational it. So it's fair I guess not but they're thrilled to be edit and operate as a as a guy who played on the right about that. And we had to do the same thing we're sitting on the tarmac wondering now whether we were all about -- the play. To be back and wait for rental Federer or go to riverfront Cincinnati and we did it we moved. How to negotiate matched up with. Without any cuts in the big -- we -- Kmart and rested pitcher in history we we put games six. In extra inning as -- you know yet to -- so anything can happen. I think there's something dangerous about it team that has Samoa Joe and some of momentum. And alcohol spirit. You know hey we're here we're in the playoffs -- that they Cinderella team nobody's gonna pick -- what the heck let's just leave it all out there. And also to gradually -- regular sheet of what makes -- have a policy from what you have adequate rest. It came gain off state. You know to install -- I think you know that -- In the regular season and you click putting games in a row and there's planet -- junior you're cruising at her hotel -- or Clinton expects so it's not completely out."

" So you get the chance the twins."

" You know one you know I give everybody a chance I've really do it it's yours go to this year you're you're starting pitcher and there's no question about it if the Hokies -- it's it's -- Yankee Red Sox -- yes. Something's happened I think the two best teams and -- in America and Britain base well. And you know but that the -- two -- imposed or Walters investing that most went."

" And what's the how do you look at era this October -- just in a cog in the wheel or does he have to. Break out he does he have to have. An uncharacteristic October and actually produce."

" I think from the perspective as somebody who played in now that this book as well I think. Yes to all of your questions. But I I still have my player had and I think. Alex all of the stuff that he's been through most the most itself what -- I just saw a different kind this year whether the you know. Was able to cleanse themselves to a degree by -- in all. Steroids -- that past whatever. You know I can see guys that that is calmer he's a better place. And I think he's gonna perform -- each. -- point four -- yet here Huckabee year. And -- also able I think that'll -- I think she's in that maybe that's what."

" But I -- think part of that -- might be the fact that he doesn't feel he scaring the entire load under shall remain -- gulf. You know all for the series and with the people around him they could --"

" you know he should I should abolish apparently these should be yankees maybe you know attacks Albert. Since he's been there he's always had a tremendous sport that's have a 200 must pay a lot all stars and future all papers. I think it's all self inflicted in late model for what. Happened off -- you know in the field you know he has certain goals and creek -- numbers and think -- to achieve I think so focused. That he needs to decide what Digisette. If I don't do it -- just pick me up. I think the fact that he is you know. It's just seems like -- slowed things down he's not all over the place and fused in mind. You know wandering different areas that that. He -- all the rights to trying to Jeter Alaska or after games and you know very you know I don't know whether this is. Sought out before and you know market reveal much but I just think even better place."

" Ballot for all leave the supremely. Talented bones in Iran's body of objectives and 55 plate appearances TDs and one RBI. Especially camp put me in the head the mind. -- player do you think the following sentences as. Wrong in his brain oh it's October time for me to get rid of this this thing that the -- that."

" Because it. Other big -- guy says you don't just medals are became my. I believe it is the the biggest part of of an athletes. Up performance. Worked for the -- what it is true absolutely helped trim lecture around wasn't traded at a sports psychologist very nurturing so Erica it's a lot players. And in till I finally figured out my plan at a routine that's what I had control of the sound you know something right -- textbook but it's real. About the moment you know this is the moment and not to allow the exterior distraction -- couple that much in -- so let's talk there and mobile network. I asked her this twenty year old copiers -- that a high school New Jersey and you know it's hostile as hostile place anywhere baseball though that you don't. You know what -- political spectrum -- Betray Alex if you think those numbers and he's gonna have yet to to a that's what makes Boston -- in New York complaints -- immediate. Outlets in the past obsolete and -- do you know career field. Media outlets should be questions than -- a little bit insulated policies and visit the the restroom and yeah. Interview. But. You know well apparently -- right -- and it's true what he says about you know addition to see -- it's you know lectures about it back to -- get the ball up whatever scatter report to their strengths and weaknesses and you know put a good swing on -- actually have control."

" And some people pick in the angels not many but some Ken Rosenthal in Lee Jenkins and -- from a from SI and their argument gentler case they make generally. Begins and ends with speed speed on the basis base stealing the Red Sox don't -- guys out. And obviously home field is that enough -- your mind to look at this matchup. Red Sox got the edge in most categories angels have more team speed connected -- through a five game series."

" If you could help educate rookie get our base is no doubt about it. But luck you know I think -- this swept out I think that the same way it was with particular with the technological back and -- But stuff for -- yes port to which -- and it's gonna show up. Which. Josh Beckett is essential to last few starts of what happened August. How is Jon Lester got responsive you know have to complex but -- fine cut rates start -- You know so. Yeah the speed of the angels what were these so that multiple numbers that could have considerable pen marks the current account pretty I think he's right at about 10% percent or runners up. League average in -- about 25. Victor Martinez is much better but 1213%. So. There's no doubt about like the Yankees did that last -- that the stated they they had middle road runners Robinson twelve as well. They had -- forget about Jeter and Damon. In Alex is still. You know that there is gonna go you know get off out. You -- you -- first base that's so that some -- premise behind why the Red Sox should be in is that I've seen Lester and Beckett steps and not on the."

" And what it's a year of economic OPEC have you made predictions."

" Our I think it's I think I think Yankee Red Sox yes he's got cardinals cardinals shows in the they'll yes there -- You know I don't know I think if you just go on paper and the years that they had I just. I have a tough time they can that the Yankees. I like this -- all but not sure -- not pitching and like what the cardinals -- whispering in not politics section with a pool halls and how do you not like I think if Lester and Beckett didn't have what he had August Lester. You know sometimes strange. He should 2% that took to think out of -- right. And and Chris Carpenter -- the top 12 pitchers and you know any baseball fan knows you're you're as good as yours started going to policies."

" We should point out the starting today a Major League Baseball network in LB tonight will feature blood daily one into our pregame shows. As all of post game highlights press conference coverage and analysis following each post season game the postseason at the Milan are. Which it should pocket.
