[0:00]" Let's connect up with the manager of the Boston Red Sox Terry Francona joins us from Anaheim good morning Terry. You know -- great l'oreal. You know okay think. They've got a pass along -- but he oh greatly appreciate. They want to share everything with. It you know it was almost day out -- perfect or maybe I should say imperfect storm last night it was one of those games where. All the little things that could go wrong seemed to go wrong missed cut off guys I mean miss some plays at the plate just one of those nights it seemed like."

[0:39]" your future wars in the week. Talk above all the time you know we go we want -- we -- to -- to bowl then to try to stop the damage award dial. And when you go to the ball very early if somebody's stumbles. You got a chance to get dealt -- or it would clear before what -- regional apparently picked up the bulk of the road and that's what happened and it goes straight to -- promote this pretty good game. We squad out we scored three runs -- a four pitch walk adult board not a walked and then there are. And it seemed like before it didn't roll of quicker than you know we obviously all the two. Those -- vehicles played reported as such a fast pace if you're not up to the task they can make you look -- and they deductibles."

[1:29]" Tito I know how much respect you have for tomorrow -- the third base coach put yourself -- issues last night Mike Michael gets a single then -- smokes that double to the gap. And now tomorrow has a decision to make you think he made the right decision what we."

[1:46]" You know you know I think you'd like all of us at times you try to maybe do too much. -- morals so clutch -- just I was told Reuters after the game it was not a -- third base coaches -- great -- fiscal adjustment in the states. In judgment and it happened you -- all of your without it happened. You know these boycotts and so conscientious that. What'd happen and I go to builder of polo bored out because you know the morals -- consult or more than everybody else's. That's just what you just mode yet. You don't goal all year of their with bobbled the speaker to."

[2:24]" And the reason you say it's a mistake it's just the game situation down three runs and got two guys on base to stay with -- second and third nobody out."

[2:32]" Yeah much largely didn't get wrote read. They're political local jobs away and -- all have a lot of room but he didn't do Roberto -- or would succeed didn't. You know we can't make something happen that is and there are. And we all get caught trying to do does sometimes those who would have a tough game. What the year Ian Kinsler workout before it just before all the time but it's not they're just can't make it happen and -- but it but he goes to joke."

[3:01]" Talking about this earlier I can't think of three instances all yearlong -- he's been wrong and you think of how many decisions he has to make. And and Mike made the point move Michael made the point we're talking about it means you had to have three things happen perfectly. For Michael all the get nipped by that much I could make an argument to -- was right even on that one."

[3:20]" Yeah again -- criticized more looks forward to do that anyway but. You know I think the rule of thumb is views you know if it's also -- you have to slide to dump by three you probably don't go. I think he displayed got regional park where -- oh. -- result of there are a lot of time with a more low will be of some people appointed and I completely agree with that. Because under the circumstances -- Tokyo -- you'd take shots he's got a great eagle for a and -- won't go way and that's what I afterward that steps forward became the first they have built patted on the back. Because I know how you'll feel a little -- don't want it was called it's -- don't want to think about it because he needed the status they produce some good."

[4:07]" Terry you've got 40% of your starting rotation Curt Schilling and Jon Leicester work at a come -- back into the rotation kind of get a feel for where things are for them Lester said I think three starts now Schilling just the one. Where do you think their patent and where do you think they'll be as you move forward."

[4:25]" Well one other it's. Whether that's good question you know if if we're talking about this from the ball almost. Now an -- while discussing really take -- to a new level -- good you know Lester is looks very healthy. You know he's still young mr. I hope the -- to forget about but we all it was a noble the other things going on but. Regardless of that he's still ago pitcher so -- that complement consistency should all depending on how he bounces back from start to restore walked all the bill ago. If you build -- bounce back and beat himself up. Things should be far notebooks but it doesn't. The village -- little bit different but I don't support shouldn't look forward to -- we -- in the process would do it."

[5:15]" About this question before I'll ask it again given some of the phone calls that we perceived over the past couple days. What is your interest level and -- the Yankees are doing right now but I know what the interest level of of the average Red Sox fan is and that's extremely high."

[5:33]" Well yesterday -- on the west coast I lose track of a lot of things like that just because -- change but they had the game on the board during batting practice. You know as they do sometimes -- got so I would watch it to but so also -- shenanigans the role on and you know. -- pick up the paper and older scored touchdowns lately about -- courtroom. But other than that goal not not crazy. You know not a great interest pretty panic old or -- you're -- get my -- Just normal where what school on particular -- need to -- but other than that we rule which runs but the -- moral to."

[6:19]" So one -- fan asks the question and we've been asked this question does Terry managed differently with a five game lead the needed with a 14 game lead the answer would be no."

[6:28]" I hope we're just go if -- but no I'm doing -- the we tried. Do things -- correctly. And you know if a guy needs a rest regarded to rest -- depending on the lead I think is I think you make bad mistakes doing a what are your asking -- don't want to break the states it's it's not always easy but I think you have to look that way."

[6:52]" And I and they like talking about managing you'd like people ask you questions on things let's let's go over -- well the last couple games one when Manny is is thrown out that game in the fourth inning. You make the decision to bring in moss how did you come to that decision."

[7:09]" Well we have to go with the right temperature on the mound and he had struggled more with what he's -- so we'd hopefully mole or Brandon Moss. A hundred great time to get lost in the game because you know like -- should go get a -- deficit they're two days and the -- deploy. But but give them would would would be good for -- he obviously have some jitters -- you could -- I think it's unfair probably. Say they wouldn't be expected actually push what about her well this kid. Is of interest -- young player he experience up there like mayor of the plate. Now we go over excited in the field then and that happens we talked to a body you know we we we try to out. Talk to put up -- Lawton. You don't just want to have everybody grew up young kid starts -- game point or staple we do have a responsibility. Somebody truly understand how we wanted to play this could -- yes they're good players who before the watches development."

[8:09]" Now we got we're going to go back on this and I hope you remember this game Seattle. The score was tied at four. And you brought in Mike Timlin to the and we had a went back and -- the caller yesterday why did Terry shall bring in. Timlin in that situation and in trying to go over you know why not Gagne why not papelbon -- the game -- talking about."

[8:32]" Well I'd I'd I'd think I'd do oh okay I got it is what it technical back but we've doubled the game. We were late in the game we did not have starter available. We we were down so we didn't have Okajima available tickets to game as a role come into that so we had papelbon and garden today. And Kimble left soul will briefly we needed to get timlin. Had to have a good -- Tim would have not given up runs. And it was a situation in the game -- we won't -- culpable because he was up. We we couldn't field -- and -- ball -- at first -- let's talk -- actually hadn't given up. A lot of hits well we have done some things but its players in any finally give up all brought. We were -- bringing garden gate. In that situation we're down we have to -- to whom they're two thirds innings. And work down to happen -- here but it'll work we just we can't do that a little Walter governor extra inning game. We have to build looked held all the innings and sometimes you do in the situation because of that. Where -- it's a little bit longer just because they're not going to run somebody out there. The not a particularly -- shouldn't be this."

[9:55]" Terry I don't know if this is true but it just seems as I watched the games. That you've had more movement within your batting order then then what I'm used to I mean obviously we know three and four are but. You kind of shuffled the deck a lot during the course of the year. First all of my right that it seems like there's more of that and and beat how do you come -- these decisions."

[10:15]" Yeah I think you're right and I don't know how little -- without. Except that I think we're a better team when we do -- a little bit depending on who's pitching lefty righty the style pitcher. I really like -- fifth but what if say and that's. You know Warrick could be -- situation what sort of -- missed maybe they're going to get hurt that always has been the case this year. So we feel we couldn't force sometimes you're better guess what do we do in -- we're just trying to put a team out there that if we -- or we go we don't have we maximize our production. And because that we have moved in Israel that."

[11:01]" Is there any news on Willie Mo Pena saw a quote in the paper this morning where he said he he truly wants to play with a chance to play every day in. And obviously that's not going to happen here any news to report on him"

[11:13]" old motivated about it. But the paper I don't know Alou -- boy -- remember I was -- got ballplayer attitude that's that's part of the old guys or deployed about the way to make money MB -- expected dislike deployed. But as long -- in this situation with us. You know unless somebody gets hurt. He's probably going to get get about the way he does and you have to do to bust it and we have to do best which you haven't. You know it's it's it's difficult for supplies what his his attitude but also which is also put the production always a combined."

[11:50]" JD Drew as -- understandable play center field for you tonight Coco Crisp is going to get tonight off. Is -- a big deal for him to have to go to that position tonight."

[11:59]" I was hoping you wouldn't be and we talked till we actually took the open field all these big balls also last two weeks I think he's excited about it. I was glad I didn't want to be -- those things work. Cigarette so reported position is not culpable than some happens he's excited about go to I think he'll be good Portland. Policy just go go -- not just home particular he needs a date he's he's about fried out there."

[12:26]" That does that mean Brandon Moss gets a chance to play again for you tonight."

[12:30]" Yeah I think sort of put -- right gross what thereabouts out there and you know he will try to. Maybe get Marty bell -- lineup but he gives some good about that are good for us if we get over the little we order you know we have to slip back it's only try to -- wicket."

[12:47]" Switching gears a bit last night it was a historic night for Major League Baseball. But the country released Barry Bonds hitting 756 career home run what did you think of of the feet and the ceremony does everything around them but decent."

[13:01]" Well normally they flashed on the board of the ballpark where after it was scored five runs to a really into the right out -- you won't -- really. That you know hole festive. You know what I'm not sure how to feel -- I wish I don't know enough about the situation I get a little bit hesitant to comment on things what I don't have all the facts because that they could makes mistakes. I do I do know that it seemed like a lot of people. Are conflicted -- probably feel. And I think that's shame because it's such great wonderful feat in what I think -- wonderful game. And anytime there's some good fortune there bothers me but again I'm not -- enough to dole or have enough information to know. Between right and wrong and what happened what didn't -- just little substance anymore."

[14:01]" Over the weekend you had Alex Rodriguez hit his 500 career home run and Tom 11 when his 300 game what's harder feet do you think."

[14:10]" It's seems to me like in this day and age within 300 is going to be tough for Tommy Glavine just did it and you look at the list behind him. And they got a ways to go. Then there's some pretty good saves -- go all the way to go the five rural part of -- goes in like Alex. Mean he got third whether -- he's probably going to have a chance to break bonds' record these results we have been it doesn't sit love seem like -- Unattainable it will -- sold 300 went I think because of the usage and the way you guys are all brought up now it's going to be very difficult."

[14:47]" And -- you know how hard it is to play this game Tom Glavine has never been on the disabled list in his career. What do you what humane kind of that --"

[14:57]" I heard so this they're -- him I was home -- and I decided who would -- you've been -- for a -- but I did know that for him to do what he's done with a lot of years you know two days ago when they start put names together with what happened. But to -- talk about course -- were they were together almost -- the wonder we used -- lose and the league. They're three of the very best and they were together a scenario -- should be surprising they would back but hopefully not inaugural don't want it."

[15:32]" I always ask this when your team gets a little speed bump but you always tell me their attitude is the same night in and night out how worth things in your clubhouse last night"

[15:41]" or what I recall also was -- but it doesn't should be. The third game we energy was tremendous and did what it really what we're always be. When things are globally -- exactly the way you -- I can my have a long that. I would rather go through things with this team. That other teams because by respect the way they do things ICL arbitrage it'd -- it helps me and again. Sort of as they again you know you want to win every night but it's impossible to do that. But what do you do built on top spite as last fight was all tool these guys -- by the book."

[16:22]" one more question about last night's game. The squeeze play on an 1 pitch did you prepare any differently than that I'm guessing that it seemed to me like a perfectly executed squeeze."

[16:33]" Well we're we're certainly order that they can do it but I mean that part of surgery in -- of the airport parlor game has put pressure on your opponent every pitch of every game if we've just got it wrong. Then we just invited him to build to next pitch a hum what took over the mound with the velocity and sometimes a lack of command. We almost were okay with some doors and just you know because. There executed very well we you know we were also open they wouldn't but if you start -- marketing and go to next."

[17:08]" An off day in Baltimore's gonna feel pretty good isn't."

[17:10]" Well considering the fact we do about -- today a little -- nobody -- here but it worked dude chill. But it's it's much needed especially doctor ordered only to -- a bit but I didn't available broadly at about 930 general we'll take it."

[17:25]" Terry thanks for the time rest that total -- you next week there are Adelson that is Red Sox manager Terry Francona joining us from Anaheim -- cut doesn't. Yeah each"
