[0:00]" Every Tuesday at this time we connect up with -- fox baseball insider by the way. Don't start yellen -- Ken Rosenthal he did not flip the switch. On Saturday with a 32 accountant Jonathan Papelbon on the mound it was not Ken Rosenthal salt. That fox went to a NASCAR race I just want to get that out of the way and make my peace here for you can."

[0:21]" Yeah I appreciated and actually had no right you'll go on until afterward -- Obviously -- parties have been issued in it was a great situation no question about it otherwise regrettable."

[0:36]" You know can we would never. Average yell at you anyway because we have so much respect for you and love for."

[0:42]" Well -- the I understand that but still like that a preemptive note to getting the producers tell them not --"

[0:49]" I'll -- I'll be big game James yeah. And -- Fox's only little -- moment I mean it's been along time since the last -- the ducks as the round."

[1:00]" Right although I don't know that. This -- with meaning in -- is changed."

[1:06]" There wasn't a championship and a playoff game now since the regular season game was playoffs but I am not sure just like. Well you know you know -- that we have about 1500 interns so we will have one of our interns figure out what -- and was you know."

[1:25]" I -- fortunately. There ourselves --"

[1:27]" We have to. I wanna I wanna get your impressions and I was so early Red Sox Yankees and it was very early for for even us and we we practiced up a little too seriously but. What were your early impressions of watching both teams in. And it in just this new focus on you in some ways for provoked the."

[1:50]" My first impression that last impression -- in the game -- just out frustrated in fact we help with. In the last I can a couple of it looked more like they'll they'll it was a great idea I couldn't believe actually. And I think Corey note of the checks when you want to eat in it was a pop up another really the situation. And overall that was the thing that stood out most -- And of course in that particular game the any matchup. Obviously we knew which way to wet and which way it was probably -- ago. And the young pitching is going be these long story in frankly your -- will jump on use. The experiment wasn't working after Sunday night and they pitched much there last. When you go to young player goes red well hold LR Lester would agree. Have to expect a -- expect these guys in B Josh Beckett so for fans of both. You have to be real patient and frankly it's also playing out now -- Old -- is. Obviously it -- guy and one was one huge impact that would think the future but right now he's like I've been in I've at all that the therefore he is not a -- play everyday and that's why in some ways keeping local Chris. Actually it always makes a lot not only does he protect in L -- rushing to the everyday. Also protects it injury true Manny in all."

[3:46]" We made the point on fox sports dot com today. That there's at least one general manager out there who isn't convinced that the Red Sox even want to trade -- chorus."

[3:56]" And that's because -- on -- opinion. He it'd be an urgency in the red. For Coco threat but that's for -- return and that indicates to him that there's not a great night that they are not talking. Not doing businesses I I. How to read that position that they want it right. At local Christian and -- contract -- is a very -- and it is opposite as we are seeing it. It's good to see him playing much better any -- last year I think that helped had them do it. So the rep -- this play out and clearly -- in the early part -- there going to be a lot of injuries probably some. And at that moment this made it out but at this time ellsbury still need to develop we all lose sight of that. Of what the very abbreviated. Scrutinized period let -- October."

[4:57]" Can you said he has trouble I'm hitting inside fastball from your experience and you've seen a lot of baseball. Is that something we won't even be talking about in two -- three months can you adjust to that very quickly or do you think that's something you have to work on in 2009."

[5:15]" I can't I gained probably take Jacoby ellsbury can't in any it's something that. Really all hitters. And we hear often about eight and it's great seller at the break while but getting pounded it in other act. Burning at the major league level and -- pitching. The best ones can do. Barry Bonds when he was in his prime was purple in the box his -- inside pitches. I expect they'll hurt you that but there had to be wait the other way. Poll whatever the case I'd be quicker inside however he'd just but it's very important aspect of being player in advance scouting. He's very sharp about these. It will seek to exploit it."

[6:09]" Given what you just said about ellsbury is weakness at the moment then and acknowledging that. What's your opinion or the opinion of people you talked to around baseball. As to which guy ellsbury or crisp is going to be a better center fielder for the Red Sox."

[6:26]" Actually evidence they let direct question. More concerned in these conversations that was it just didn't know or it better but. Chris is probably play better and there. L Barry I think last October -- of put expectations on line that grow and he was never viewed as. Unbelievable dynamic type of guy he was to be good player in the high end it was supposed he. Top guys we obviously -- very early better in those things better by."

[7:20]" Again Johnny Damon and Johnny Damon -- the hands. Gifted guy like elder but it took."

[7:27]" back to the game that you did yeah you guys on fox that on Saturday Red Sox Yankees a key moment of the game. Joe Girardi elects to you go with -- mussina versus Ramirez instead of issuing a free pass and in pitch and Kevin Youkilis do you agree -- with -- I guess most people think it's indefensible and it was a mistake that's that's part one but not my larger point is. Do you believe that Joe Girardi will be a good manager for the Yankees so. Have a way."

[7:57]" Indefensible know it's the explanation. If you load the bases with duke was very patient grinding it there -- much -- situation. I think the bottom line is that they over opted -- work. There's going to be an adjustment period and I -- Or -- al Davis with some degree of conviction that the next time he situation like you let that ranch. In his opinion because the guy of his caliber and stature. What he wants to view. Competitor in the but I think the criticism majority is he won't take control tactic in the future that. It's daytime yeah it came actor as you know complicated job like threat that match and Francona. Has that are really good job just repeat you're at all were element. And -- baseball beat his priority in a short -- state ever heard. That part of it is the test for a party that we don't know if he's in the past but I will -- it. There and adjusting. I -- revelation or -- and now. Joe bucket in the car and I a couple of do we go in the majority early and it. Joe buck mentioned in that that was. You seem a lot or lack such would be Girardi."

[9:36]" And Joe -- did you learn what's different in that active there's things. I -- to a comfortable and we -- competent match when you feel that you have the best healing your -- And no matter how many times second guessed that -- matter you'll do what you need to do."

[10:02]" He started."

[10:04]" Is it possible that the conversation on the mound between Girardi in mussina. Could have gone differently and might have gone differently if Jorge Posada was catching instead."

[10:15]" it's funny I was asked yesterday by others."

[10:21]" You're on another show shame on you back at."

[10:24]" might have been tomcat spot I went. I think it's possible but I never felt or never mean that the product had that much. Not that he's not good with pitchers out of it today at the very presence but. Commanders and ultimately. Manager has to go with it in the same time it's strictly because -- the pitchers are comfortable with what you -- and in this case. Because this scene I don't think you get many years now. Well."

[11:05]" Time and establish the trust those players able walk that. It's not an easy thing -- delicate things we if you're span how bout this. But this often about people ever try to make excuses for Girardi here but he had do at least point five egos. You'll -- one individually in this particular case he felt that it was best news station players that he wants you. Again I will say."

[11:36]" A Kenny I don't think we'll have many opportunities -- ask you about this team during the years on the take advantage of this opportunity but I can't. When asked about the Kansas City Royals in. And what you think the effect Trey Hillman will have on that team at what he's having on that team than any do you think. They'll even be around in in July or August."

[11:56]" That the Baltimore -- than any other two -- going to tell you Michael Orioles and not going to be there might be in the a couple of days -- The royals are different. -- at three -- starting pitchers."

[12:15]" a big stuff but he's really smart because that waste. They also. Right now the best bullpen in the American look at the stat there the best right now and it looked pretty period last year and these guys these rules. So that's pretty good start we've we've starting pitchers like in the decent -- Plot to emerging young -- outs wouldn't believe butler. And -- other guys who were decent players about the catchers but might be okay if hate is a decent player Teahen. You know he should be but okay."

[12:51]" In and you throw it. -- who is one of these upbeat positive."

[12:57]" Yet firm guys it's pretty interest in it and privately feel that there. One big hitter and one starting pitcher away from being truly -- taken -- at bat that well who is but. For them prolonged they were much further away so they are formidable and they are not seen. That for an offensive threat but but it went in July or August there activities."

[13:30]" Why you know its its interest in the general manager Dayton Moore is known as they. John Schuerholz protege who actually a lot of people body take over for sure hole. In Atlanta. Have have."

[13:43]" I guess that has Kansas City ownership allowed him Q sign draft picks and put a lot of money into scouting because that's the difference between a serious organization and an organization that will continue to be -- 68 to 73 win or."

[14:00]" Great question and the answers yet surprise. They kept the you know 62 but got forced in the paid big money again -- my stock. Who's going to be great hitter these guys have a position but he's electric back. Beyond that I'm sure a lot of people of Boston -- even aware of this but they were very very aggressive let's went eight. Besides Ian is one -- deciding match but not only that they went or after jail. And rookie wrote who went to the Dodgers actually -- so. While they're still Kansas City Royals measurements they ripped torn as well actually toward whispers -- they all fourteen at now suddenly what little bit of financial. And he can -- play I think ultimately -- VO it would create."

[14:59]" And they are on the -- I don't think there's any question about that that the team to watch. -- to a three year."

[15:07]" We totally over rate. The Detroit Tigers going into this season."

[15:12]" Yes but I'll emphasize that we -- with me I think we all in. The one thing I would never enamored with about with a -- actually -- victim of a -- but. People forget their rotation beyond Verlander is full of question let's off horrible year. At the end of the year ago part that was hopefully -- is forty. Nate Robertson right -- like a lot it's really fourth -- fifth starter back. -- you're down without Joel Zumaya and Rodney -- there right now is very problem. Traded six prospects. It Willis in where after trading -- ship -- the -- And guys just. In August of that some players left they have kind of guys up. Like for instance the masters in -- or David jet powered. Just occupy a spot play -- all but be immediate contributor at least in the future on way. So -- then there -- out of options with what they might be able to do and once they start hitting as they well. Actors that so when you look at hit it well they're going to come back I -- But can -- be."

[16:51]" Remember now don't send your cards and letters to Ken Rosenthal he had nothing to do with flip on the switch on Saturday it's not his fault I don't blame him for what these nit -- do this for NASCAR that at bat. I have to remember that the great nickname for only. Generally appreciate double tucked -- next week they did Ken Rosenthal from fox sports and -- fox baseball package joining us"
