[0:00]" Joining us here at the broadcast -- whose window down young we'll -- of Dustin Pedroia give them somehow Loria get your your major league debut August 22 here used to Red Sox training camp into the starting second baseman about rats that feel for opportunity in can there are you recall that. We pitch Percival off of which -- it was what the date was you remember all that and that's important stuff for -- Joe Saunders dated is that the first day I called up but he knows point third -- second set point second yeah angel stadium my second at -- in a bad idea that. Where's -- the ball. On the semi -- yes. I'm mom mom -- case -- recall -- when when you went away for the offseason and -- in you know obviously headed back. Did you have the mindset that you're coming to camp as the starting second baseman the Boston Red Sox"

[0:56]" I didn't really think about you know I just thought about what I need to do to you know to make an impact -- news you know kind of get faster changed my body and extra last throughout you know the whole season that in the year there kind of got tired in which ended the year before too so complex -- make sure that I'm Armstrong you know here pudge go about regular changes what did you do specifically -- worked out at API in Arizona and I mean we're working out twice today in eating -- you know everything was healthy and I -- away real fast -- now lost about 15 pounds so. I'm not so great right now and -- I think all that stuff you know come down how that would give up to us -- he gave up I mean nothing really I mean I I I was feeding him before but he knows no knowledge -- water and you know kind of greens tees up like that no sodas and stuff like that no. You know is this win 22 you know army in like six times a day -- smaller portions and just stuff like that that I didn't do before and I usually three or four males and their bigger you know. About mcdonalds for him knowing that if I stuff along time now now now acknowledge is that schedule may need anything that's not good freak like -- stomachs oh. I'm pretty set of that right now when did you find out how did you find out that Mark Loretta had moved on did did did the team tell you that we going to let him go. Bomb no not really having act I kind of saw on the bottom of the ticker and onions and so I was just watching sports -- those honors so. On now is no I found out but is that the day you felt like the job was yours to lose that. That you had a chance to be the start of the day he realized -- was gone. -- I don't know you know I felt like had a chance I had a great year aaa and felt like violence during training in shape and and had a good spring you know it. It I definitely have a shot so I mean I didn't you know I didn't really think and in and today so."

[2:46]" What do what do August -- second going forward. Teach you I don't know you weren't after the numbers about a woman who won 89 -- 90 plate appearances what did you learn those nine he played records."

[2:55]" That's dodged it just a ton of things you know he he did it's everything's beefed up on it -- you know I mean I wasn't playing every day immunized I started to and then you know kind 34 days off than -- so. On the -- tough but he's got to try to slow things down there and then just relax and let the game can be important when trying to -- too much."

[3:23]" Well we had our own group amuse me you Carl Crawford Jay Gibbons Brian Roberts Brandon -- groups so we kinda. You know and Conor -- we -- each other art together twice today do you -- yet know which -- awhile and done in the commit -- Crawford was the fast -- it -- underlies this kind of -- and he's done -- you -- the green -- Now now not really mean we just. You know it's got a long day probably like eight at or 35 O'Clock so afterward -- now so you're down a total moments last second 195 right now about once so while you -- seven via -- and stronger you have felt like literally five pounds less but you feel strong yeah we have some bad way you know -- that -- that -- that that the -- and and do you do you think. You -- second baseman now forever you know longer -- current I don't mind yeah I would I mean whatever work -- play and it doesn't matter if a couple both spots than down. What evidence do and and and batting ninth does that. Can't take the pressure -- just get him at the end of the order and in the which you can do I'd try -- but that stuff from him whenever I get a chance -- there. -- have a travel long at bat productive at bat every alma."

[5:04]" Yeah you've eaten I mean for me you know it's if if from a getting a pitch that I can drive -- I'm not going to swung I mean and so the other definitely not going to -- so obviously here. Hear about going to be you know you're going to work account you're gonna hit later you know later to pitches and see a lot of pitches and also coached team now."

[5:21]" Pitchers pitch but generally guys who take that approach strikeout more because they get to 3222 counts correct yeah yeah sometimes that's not the case with you -- now so so -- major advantage that you are your pick of the ball directly out of the pitchers and -- you'll do a lot of guessing is would be my guess direct."

[5:37]" Yeah I mean I watched try to see a more see the ball at the ball you know just. -- try to guess pitches that much who is certain times that well you know cheat inside the sound and you know try to get the head -- a couple but. For the most part on this trying to see the ball in and reactor."

[5:53]" Does the wall -- Fenway Park make you either consciously unconsciously one couple little little more than you should not really no. Wherever they tried wherever they try to pitch him yet available on ago in right field so when they come in obviously -- was -- to -- important issue here. Why he's still number 60 forward they give -- that they have to wear it to -- or throw throw 60 and it's it's ugly and it's it's this is you'll Emerson -- look like you know left god if you would like Trevor batted we what's available -- we need a fast number -- 170 -- 170 -- weren't -- so -- grabbed -- number seven. What was Alex Gonzales was 11 that's another quick -- number you know two double ones. Nothing about that you know back like 64 now though you really do not doubt absolutely yeah offensive -- arts. What was your number grown up to give one through you know obvious to college hill that's it doesn't matter right here's to I'll check that but a we gotta get you what what would be its christmas and he was 12 they switched him to -- Ramey. Randall -- now what would you choose him I told you right now you can pick you pick 64 now. It really -- gotta think about that while most were open up one kept as ugly number -- went low -- Lester for a -- new -- number which is good no that's. That's."

[7:30]" Manny Delcarmen okay the set is only -- 70 Leicester went I can find them here when numbers numbers 31 that's good number. You don't want to -- number yeah Aussie Aussie. I think he knows what number he's getting he's not maybe it they at the talk about. On -- 91 on the synergy between the second baseman the shortstop obviously do not that you spent a lot of time with Diego last year particularly in August but to how long does it take through spring training through a month or two of the season to really get a sense of timing in almost sort of stuff that needs to happen for you guys"

[8:04]" I don't think it takes that long I mean just you know some summer work and them somewhere after some practices in subsidies to each other and and that's about it I mean you pretty much been -- out -- you -- there in the game together right -- just takes a little -- what are the -- there and obviously -- want to get the ball to -- time in specific places -- absolutely -- plays -- he's comfortable turn it you know wicket -- You know I haven't talked about it."

[8:29]" thing about the dry yeah yeah absolutely but that's about it. With the -- a good talk and you thanks for the time you -- great keep -- that worked well and stronger six meals a day -- does that I don't market publicly by -- that doesn't -- lucky they thanks guys aren't just the -- with the Taliban the -- in this letter interview with Dustin -- brought to you by -- good -- at -- ballclub Dakota much support spring training"
