" Joining us right now is he does each and every Thursday at this time. It's our baseball insider from fox sports' Ken Rosenthal hey can I you don't. Hopefully you're having a -- called blue ocean kinda weak is supposed to -- I don't know like maybe eight broader somebody."
" I think a little bit better place an area and let me just -- this study -- any further. Both incidents well one I don't know which all the tabloids part of it and -- entity but don't. You can talk -- you want about. Well there's just you do that there are -- I don't think it's with any of us got its eternal war. The same -- He's out there the self positioning is to take this last -- thing. Where he yelled at infielder on the blue jays -- was coming up one place. You just don't see that a lot and it is certainly positive reaction that the players have a lot short goes on but the way the blue jays attack it was so be an. Apparently --"
" Well that was part of the debate I was what they'll earlier today how prevalent do you think it is not just that incidents but any type of any type of play outside of the unwritten baseball rules how prevalent do you think that goes on apparently does that happen in Major League Baseball."
" I don't like let's routed -- one -- question you -- only -- hearing what goes on I'm out their clothes in the Senate -- much but. Sure does go -- I'm. -- seem to be some type of reached and it. They can't by the way they reacted. Wait is of course we all remember the proper order -- yes. That what you which is also -- opted -- all the -- as a -- ticking people off with his words his actions. Any shame because he's a wonderful --"
" Can we were talking about this earlier with with the Bronson plays you mentioned earlier this year you have the pop up slide in the elbow to the groin of Dustin Pedroia and now this one. -- they rod do this sort of thing more than everybody else or -- we just focus on it because he's a rotten place for the Yankees."
" I think maybe a little boat and certainly A. J. -- is a guy like such as a way of got -- Things like it's by testing its first states. And the -- set that I think Iraq it seems to be a bit of an agitated his own way frustration. You return your discourage desire to what is what every -- Pakistan -- they appreciate that but. At this same and the players now. NATO guys across our date no guys play hard and there are a good way and when they react the way they located in the -- situated. My outlook. I think it's --"
" Our big Fella nothing Iran -- right to your real house -- ask you about the Baltimore Orioles. How credible are they how legitimate are they are they a threat to those Orioles teams in the 1970s had 420 game winners."
" Of course. Of course yeah yeah."
" Trying to figure -- even the most credible threat to the red I think he's now look at."
" But Greta I know the Orioles are not the ability to but. How good our day in European"
" I just stick that they don't have a power and also they're starting pitching they've lost quite a bit Jaret Wright increased spent. And out of all three of their. Five originally planned starters and -- Steve Trachsel etiquette journey got this in the -- But overall they're short they're they're open all the way to expected respect -- money -- Apple. I don't accept -- afraid of what type of out -- leaders -- purple and -- that is because she's players are all in the papers. -- it would -- effort from law this year we heard from. Just students album or to -- with a lot it was forms they -- used ticked -- about that. And eased it into policy -- do about Reuters on. The yield is breaking down at agers so to me it is their -- scene -- It is better leadership to stop. Be a that it would step eight voice. So I do think that they have -- pizzas -- out of the apartment and"
" you know that you got a great quote in in your piece this week from a scout watching Roger -- six shutout innings at triple -- And just to give folks the quote but that's in your piece he said quote he was 88 to 91 miles per hour with a big looping curve ball. I don't know if that will get through Detroit's lineup consistently it certainly won't get through Boston's lineup consistently. He'll pitch skillfully just like Pedro does but he'll be a middle of the rotation guy. It'll be a little bit like what happened with Randy Johnson coming back to the American league at the wrong time unquote. Is that -- not use them at Fenway this weekend."
" I don't think that the -- read. I think the biggest -- is that."
" Roger is a guy as all of you know who -- end -- paying. Situation in which is going to be at -- anyway for start back. Quite strongly that cauldron which you have your three top pitchers right now lined up -- If that record out there were changed right -- the other guys that they've been using equipment being -- so when you have Wong. In the -- that read ago. You might as well to stay on track keep Rogers in what will be -- and -- And -- here -- hitting -- well wanted to look at foundation this idea that. Historians spot mideast -- and he -- by all -- I just think it's the healthiest thing for everyone just hate if he could have bought the jacked up -- won't have to wait."
" Now we understand why a couple of those pictures -- for the Yankees against the Red Sox Wong is a very good picture probably their best Andy -- Has pitched well this year with not a lot of support run support. Mike Mussina has not pitch that well what is the story with them --"
" And he's older and I think with him he says he wants was obviously a lot these down that's the problem. He does have the bite on written -- they wanted Eric Daze when he does have. That would all these things -- could not sport we all we want it on those days but I just of these Dudek. Pitched well for the most port -- but I think now let's stop it they could be."
" I've always looked out of I don't know about you -- Baltimore during his heyday when he was great always that got him as a classic number two. What would you say he has right now."
" Four and that's not saying certain date -- you know. But overall numbers we doing well we have. And he had a great career it's funny I don't think all. Because if you'd describe him like black death of the two that -- that -- pitchers now all but -- it also -- In he would -- I have read -- the American. It is so I think we've done is really admirable but it 60s but in the."
" Can we ask you a little bit last week about Elijah dukes the at Tampa bay rookie outfielder and his off field. -- personal problems with his wife and death threats the teen kept him out of the lineup for a couple of days. But in back in the lineup he's back in there now it's back in the news today after a judge. As put in a restraining order a second restraining order. Is that going to become as they're going to come a point where Elijah dukes is going to be too much about liability for the Devil Rays to keep sticking him out there."
" That's a real question I think that the question we've looked at each day. Problems with -- do. Just say kind of it -- they'll raise -- to -- games is like to -- pretty good. I think you'd be -- in which they want to do ideally of the day. Is -- in panic to roll it and common diet that is now a very that's the -- can be -- Q well now. History the rest suspensions. It's all along if you -- Paula considering whether he can become -- guy and I think it's certainly the question. What they just leave that they feel the marital dispute Japanese short of the crime. In would be unfair they think that. Marital disputes can get Israel now. Things happened excuse and it is trying to give an explanation if you were me in my team I would only because -- think. And an older. You have to a certain -- There's certain things not tolerate and probably release of -- is -- probably a legitimate but like it is -- And everyone there's story but I'm real close to that point where if this were in the kind of in the."
" Attending this is a pretty talented players you pointed out very. I think you'll be playing -- Rocco Baldelli did have injury problems but the fact is Delhi does have -- problems. What is the latest with him it is this going to be the story. Throughout his career know what's going on with them."
" Well that's a fair question of the historic registry is only pretty close. I mean if you we could to -- in progress. Passes in the -- but he's had a history of amp that knows and Cheney got treatment out. What's going to be interest if you know on the deal. I -- That point should be it was shown up may be. I seen the tree formed -- Position right now that there will be in the situation mr. -- albums he could be of help these animals like it would trade. Especially if they think duke is going to be a player what. So all of these things figured the -- equation as well just where the team and I heard -- they spray lighted -- in back. Whether out Albert -- may be even more now but the same kind of volatile personality. And out of both went along I didn't do it like with this -- it while it was well it certainly. It is often you'll after -- game of this nature some anyway. But you know -- of the -- straight out I just don't seem much track records indicate any change of fortune to say that it was. Right now but it's it's -- wrote."
" I'm not a big fan of team meetings because generally if you know coop and perform well in the aftermath of a team meeting. What have you accomplished Jerry Remy set on the telecast the other night that time to have -- have a team meeting is just before you got the exact pitching match up you want. So that you can say see we turn all around Yankees have won one I've got beat seven at two. Cubs had one yesterday players only meeting got -- nine to nothing last night against Florida are the cubs having some issues here right now."
" Cup and it might not have the issue and the -- art scene where the pieces. If you look at the town paper truly but people this kind of fall -- old relievers were one. There every 18 well that got four left fielders they've got duplication -- area. Both kind of -- and too right. So they just haven't pound away at what and it's been very is -- manager who now is that they placed fundamentally report as well. Do they have -- no question can it be seen. Deal mediocre division yes I think that's certainly possible right now they need to do it together and each state a state that happening were talking about but he may."
" You know it's getting it sounds like it it in this if you agree with this if they were -- in the NBA. They have major problems because they have problems -- moving some of these guys moving their contracts the restrictions with the salary cap. But in baseball it's probably a general manager's dream that you actually have talent so you can. Fashion the team offered the talent that you have put some --"
" Yes but the contract to -- as you know and they've got fluid chuck -- Left handed hitters they probably need Floyd -- but they want left and pressed -- story. Well chuck Jones and the guy that is affordable but -- not really. -- impact a player short -- out this year so. Article you can sort or beers there'd be inaccurate or at most likely what you want I think he should do. Is it to you know it was -- and over and even if you do it. It's -- nationally in a nationally and not the of Britain most of them more American I would wait PA. -- unity -- opposite that would improve their -- and yeah I'd have to move jot. Order or somebody just kind of ease the logjam that they have there."
" After the Red Sox game ended on Tuesday night I've flipped over ESPN and I've watched extra innings that's came and I saw Armando Benitez commit to walks in the 12 inning and give up a walk off home run. You know you could you could almost see Mets fans salivating as he came into the game for the giants. Is he still useful everyday kind of closer player in this league."
" He will do things. You know -- two weeks whatever pain in light the of the happen in the first block was by all account. -- the invisible you know that was that was tough to think of -- but at same time. That doesn't yet to commit excellent oral out of -- they'll go oh so. He guided his whole congress sentiment but it struggled it."
" He's controlled our role of the physical problems later. For whatever reason make up just the two oh the president as you want out there and it's shame it has been great town and it is in the situation -- rears translated -- lot."
" And getting ready for a totally unfair question are what's the game of the week this week"
" is Yankees at Red Sox players -- comfortable are you -- Auction last --"
" You know there's a lot of talk up here about the the gap in the American league east item you kind of referred to a briefly early on realistically. Short of you know having three starters go down or something the UC anybody overtaking the steam in the east."
" Now and with the most dangerous thing. And it evolves based -- days. Is this phrase it's -- because we know. -- rarely over of course it is over but realistically. Who's going to be in going to be the Yankees coming from behind like the 1914 circle graves the only team history to come back from more than 14 games. Barring a series of injuries that would throw things right for the -- I really don't. Point lead or having much probably division I think they're starting pitching -- to apple's long. Obviously things change is a two if we need courts -- now to our two or three ports but. Right now on that way and it was really."
" You know we were talking about it earlier that that the key here and -- said earlier today on the station obviously starting pitching is the key. But they are almost in in in my opinion their almost slow growth as a team -- I can't imagine -- five games general without a good pitching performance."
" Provided that helped write and I agree -- the out act it happened this team now are they going to play. At this level lawyer is 700 team all year winning percentage wise probably. They are ovals or some degree in which religious thing needs now last August things sort of dire. Now the Yankees this in the -- such steps great stress and it's quite a turnaround it's one at a more rapid turn around you'll see. -- without level amount you know low revenue. Being in the war this year where -- tigers lashed out talking -- where they were last August and now how they've done wonders how. Kind of team they put together a team that you can argue on some level -- in pirate like eucalyptus. Polar plane probably above themselves many certainly not GDP -- Google options -- so. It is very well -- like they've edits the at like with the joyous c'mon. -- to watch it."
" Well enjoy watching them again on fox this weekend. We'll talk to you next week thanks. -- and then take care Ken Rosenthal from fox sports are baseball insider"
