[0:00]" 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 -- having called -- called blue ocean kinda weak as opposed at all I don't know like maybe eight broader somebody."

[0:17]" I think a little bit better listener and when it is it is an airport -- any further. Both incidents well one incident I don't know which all the tabloids part of an -- is -- You can talk -- you want about. Well there's just oh you do that there are -- are I don't think it's with any of us got to deter war. The same -- He's out there but so positioning is to keep taking his last night's. Where he yelled at an infielder on the blue jays -- pop was coming up now are up one place. You just don't see that a lot -- certainly positive reaction that the players have a lot short goes on but the way the blue jays attack it was -- be -- That apparently it --"

[1:10]" 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."

[1:29]" I felt like that's really depressed that's one little question you -- only intact. Hearing what goes on I'm doubt they're close in this that it -- you know 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 where else yes. That what you which is also reached opted out all the time meter and era as a way -- ticking people off with his words his actions. Any shame because he's a wonderful player."

[2:08]" 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."

[2:26]" I think maybe a little boat and certainly A. J. Pierzynski is a guy like sort of way of got -- Things like it's by Justin it's well first they. And the twins were set that I think your I'd seems to be a bit agitated his own way frustration. You its earlier this coach desire to win it but every agent I understand that they appreciate that but. At this same and the players now. NATO guys cross online dating know when guys played hard and I are good way and when they react the way they located on the quick situated. My outlook. I think it's calculated."

[3:11]" Our big Fella enough for a Rodham come right to your wheel house -- ask you about the Baltimore Orioles. How credible are they how legitimate are they are they have threat to those Orioles teams of the 1970s had 420 game winners."

[3:27]" Of course -- of course yeah yeah."

[3:31]" Trying to figure I was even the most credible threats to the reds but I think he's not look at."

[3:38]" I know the Orioles are not the ability but. How good our day in European."

[3:46]" I I just stick that -- RF power and also they're starting pitchers they've lost quite a bit Jaret Wright increased spent. And out of all three of their. Five originally planned starters and most of these track etiquette journey got this in the picture up. But overall they're short they're they're open all the way to expected respectful money -- I don't accept -- afraid of what type of out slash -- Super -- and the reason that is because these players are all in the papers. Pretty -- it would uplink -- from law this year referred from. Jay Gibbons -- or to be with a lot it was forms they -- used ticked off about that. And -- seemed to insert article too about Reuters on. -- things break down at agers so to me it is -- team and it. It is better leadership -- stop. Be a -- eight voice. So I you'd think that. Opt out majestic pizzas -- that it --"

[5:06]" you know that you got a great quote in in your piece this week from a scout watching Roger Clemens six shutout innings at triple. And just to give folks the quote that that's in your peace 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 -- points 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 on quote. Is that why -- is not use them at Fenway this weekend."

[5:42]" I don't think that the -- read. I think the biggest -- is that."

[5:47]" Roger is a guy as all of you know who -- end -- paying. Situation in which is going to be at but anyway it is for start back. Quite strongly that cauldron which you have your three top pitchers right now lined up at that it. If that record out there were chased Wright ready the other guys that they've been using equipment being -- so when you have Wong. Edit -- that -- ago. You might as well to stay on track keep Rogers in what will be lower -- and it is not hitting as well wanted to look at foundation this idea that. The start against Boston mideast checked -- out battle by all served. I just think it's the healthiest thing for everyone pistons -- if he could have bought the jacked up though they won't have to wait."

[6:39]" Now we understand why a couple of those pictures -- for the Yankees against the Red Sox Wong is a very good pitcher probably their best Andy Pettit. Has pitched well this year with not a lot of support run support. Mike Mussina has not pitched that well what is the story with him can't."

[6:56]" And he's older and I think with him he's just this -- he -- was obviously -- these down that's the problem. He does have the bite on written all they want -- there -- days 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. Pitch well for the most port -- but I think now it let's stop that they could be."

[7:27]" 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."

[7:39]" Four and that's not saying certain date -- you know. But overall numbers -- doing well we have. And he's got a great career it's funny I don't think all. Because if you'd describe him like black best of the two that pitcher that type of pitchers now all but we've also -- to the way. In he would adding to your pitching in I have read in the American. It is so I think we've done is really admirable but it yankees' -- in the."

[8:19]" 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 team 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 of a liability for the Devil Rays to keep sticking him out there."

[8:49]" That's a real question I think the question they have we've looked at each day. Problem with delighted -- Just say kind of lose it and they'd they'll raise -- to try to win games is like to do pretty good. I think you'd be on -- repeat in which they want to do ideally of the day. You'd -- in panic to roll it and come -- guys that is now a very that's -- be that can be -- Q well now. History the rest suspensions. It's all along if you read paused considering whether he can become a guy and I think it's certainly question. What they just that they feel the arms he's not any short of the crime. In would be unfair they think that. Marital disputes -- yeah Israel now. Things happened excuse and it is trying to as giving explanation if you were me in my team I would only because I think. And an older. You have to take certain morals they. There's certain things not tolerate and probably release -- is Santo publicly. That's a legitimate but like it is -- And everyone there's story but I'm real close to that point where on the day if this were in the kind of in."

[10:22]" Attending this is a pretty talented players you pointed out very. I think you'll be playing even have Rocco Baldelli didn't have injury problems but the fact is now Delhi does have injury 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."

[10:39]" Well that's a fair question of the story Grand -- he is only pretty close. I mean if you we could to -- making progress. Passes in the -- but he's had a history and I'll never knows in -- he's got tremendous out. What's going to be interest if you get on the deal. I -- That point should be shown up maybe. Hands -- tight tree form that -- Position right now that there -- in this situation with mr. put out he could be -- help these animals like it would trade. Especially if they think duke is going to be a player. So all of these things figured the -- equation as well just where the team in. I heard guys they spring invited dukes in back. -- out of the guys Albert -- may be even more now but the same kind of volatile personality. And out of both went along time into it like with this -- it while it was a while it certainly. It is often you'll after that the game of this nature similar anyway. But -- of the guys straightened out I just don't seem much track records indicate good fortune to say that it was. Right now but it's it's all -- wrote."

[12:02]" 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 said on the telecast the other night that time to have -- to have a team meeting is just before you got the exact pitching match up you want. So that you can say see we -- all around Yankees have won one -- 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."

[12:31]" Cup and it might not have the issue and the cubs -- chain where the pieces. If you look at the town paper it's really good but people has kind of fall -- relievers were one. There every 18 well they've got four left fielders they've got duplication renteria. Well kind of two B and hit to right. So they just haven't -- away at what and it's been very has -- manager who now is that they placed fundamentally report as well. Do they have count no question can -- be team. Steal a mediocre division yes I think that's certainly possible right now they need to do it together in. Each state they say that happening were talking about but he may."

[13:24]" You know -- it sounds like it it in this if you agree with this if they were hitting -- in the NBA. They'd 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 -- you can. Fashion the team -- the talent that you have put some traits."

[13:48]" Yes but the contrast to played this year you know and they've got Floyd chuck Jones. Left handed hitters they probably need Floyd turns out but they want and practical or sore right. Well jock Jones and the guy that is affordable but -- not really. You know impact a player short -- out this year so. Article you can sort or -- there a you know kind of score or at most likely what you want to I think he should do. Is it to you know it was -- and over and even if you do it. It's play internationally than -- in nationally and not the cubs are better and most of them more American and I would play PGA. -- unity -- opposite that would improve their D and yeah I'd have to move -- Order or somebody to just kind of ease the logjam that they have there."

[14:49]" After the Red Sox game ended on Tuesday night I've flipped over ESPN and I watched extra innings that's came and I saw Armando Benitez commit two 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."

[15:18]" He will do things. Look so good two weeks whatever pain in like the -- the happened in the first block was -- all -- When the invisible yeah that was that was tough to -- I have to say but it same time. That doesn't -- yet to commit to that oral out -- they'll go oh so. He -- his -- resentment but it struggled it."

[15:44]" He's controlled our role of the physical problems later. For whatever reason to make up just suited to oh -- the president as you want out there and it's shame it has been great town and it is -- in this situation -- careers translated away a lot of people."

[16:03]" And getting ready for me totally unfair question are what's the game of the week this week."

[16:11]" Yeah -- is Yankees at Red Sox players are comfortable are you read rip. Auction last place team."

[16:23]" I you know there's a lot of talk up here about the the gap in the American league east -- 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 this team in the east."

[16:40]" Now and with the most dangerous thing. -- evolves based off -- Is this phrase it's -- because we know. -- regain -- rarely over of course it is over but realistically. Who's going to be -- going to be the Yankees coming from behind like the 1914 miracle braves the only team in history to come back from more than 14 games. Barring a series of injuries that would throw things broke right for the Red -- I really don't. Born in the lead or having much probably division I think their starting pitching to do to apple's long. Obviously things change is a two if we need courts now to our two or three Portsmouth but. Right out that way and it was really."

[17:44]" You know we were talking about it earlier that that the key here and Theo said earlier today on the station obviously starting pitching is the key. But they are almost in in in my opinion their almost small group as a team -- I can't imagine going five games in a row without a good pitching performance."

[18:01]" Provide that -- right and I agree that -- the out act that happened this team now are they going to play. At this level all year it is 700 team all year winning percentage wise probably not. They are ovals or from the really in which religious thing we need is now last August things sort dire. Now the Yankees this in the red such steps great stretch in. It's quite a turnaround it's one at a more rapid turnaround you'll see. -- without level a couple of you know low revenue. Being in the war this year where Detroit Tigers -- talking about 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 of clicked in part -- probably above themselves many certainly not JD Drew certainly Lugo options and it went so. It is very well bounce like they've -- he'd like with a -- c'mon. They're fun to watch it."

[19:14]" Well enjoy watching them again on fox this weekend. We'll talk to you next week thanks. Nice and then take care Ken Rosenthal from fox sports are baseball insider"
