[0:00]" It's the all star break for big league baseball and that means festivities at Yankee Stadium kick off with the the home run derby with this year. Not a single Yankee and big poppy because of his injury won't be in it either WBZ TV Red Sox beat reporter. Who manages to get to every game and that includes the all star game to any Roche he is a witness -- Well I would -- wish -- your -- tell you that. A but then I mean how could you have in the last year that the old Yankee Stadium is going to be open how can you have no yankees in the home run derby."
[0:32]" Well it's it's got a mind boggling but you know it. I don't know what that is practically anything that happens in sports in Major League Baseball made to me the ultimate the ultimate -- is that the Red Sox and yankees closed out the season. But they do it felt like park this year yeah. They talked about the police fired at 8 o'clock that out of Yankee Stadium -- be the final period the ballpark there but it's -- don't know Yankee moment derby. And yet they couldn't get it -- do it so I guess we -- sit watching article from that."
[1:01]" Yet about how would leave the players who are asked to compete in the home run derby are they selected."
[1:07]" But I think they got -- go through listed got to get down the listed if they get certain got shortly out all of these players that they have in mind. A lot of it is you know who's who's coming -- for the festivities so would be you know an all stars playing in and day -- them in out how to talk to bring somebody just for the home run derby at. You know some guys just want to get away from the air freight from the it might change their sling for the rest the -- We see which he's seeing guys go through struggled in the past coming out of the home run derby so they can pure they've asked some Yankee but somebody that you make politely declined its battle to change my swing especially in that ballpark because of electing an -- upswing yet but -- order everything else. Dynamite -- out -- they."
[1:48]" Good to talk about the famous short porch in in right field wanted babe Ruth made so famous is 314 down the line. To that but pesky polls only 32."
[1:59]" Yeah exactly go -- you know I think any Brett sparks Antalya to do -- stock about the fact that she can't -- all. -- well that act order and we remembered Johnny gave it to its missile -- go back to BA LC essence. It'll for the Grand Slam with a two run shot that's most vivid in my mind and also some three upper -- shops and David OT so -- it it's it's -- much. Powell Apollo Bradley the left it that it is yet. But it never got people kind of a quick errand that shot out the outline as you go -- art and art is -- the deep. -- you are elected to an already Yankee Stadium I think that it is at Fenway Park because output because he towards the ball that."
[2:37]" A -- you've been the Yankee Stadium many times and I've worked on their for quite a few years an index which has go to a lot of ball games there. You're not quite as close to the action -- Fenway Park but it still is a beautiful place to watch a baseball game."
[2:49]" Yeah I and it's it's I think that what -- in the Red Sox have done a marvelous job camp Perry Smith and company of of updating it make you more Martin. -- he's skating he's still out that older feel it whether you kinda get that grungy feel but not a sabbatical way it thought it might mean more ital be. People while walking into the pot and guard the old Boston garden for the first time. You feel somewhat on top of the action aegis -- That bit of history losing her UH you walk around to play as well that the -- a very special you'd be placed. To be part of but -- not a -- and play like they've made that way."
[3:25]" Are now and another subject before you go let's talk about. And consulates will recently on this thing. It's the all star break and the Red Sox who into the all star break in first place. And WBZ TV Red Sox -- reporter Dan Roche joins us they -- of what five and a half games in a week."
[3:45]" Yep pretty remarkable turnaround you know we -- sat there. A week ago yesterday and said okay boxer in pretty good trouble there you know six games back there. Our bodies back rather seven with a lot column you know the world is about to end after they -- yankees. Stadium and -- all we saw a young cap perhaps -- problem that the Red Sox got cult. And they went five out of six that led a double rate in the process of receiving the rate the process lose seven straight. And we'll all be out there it's not Aptiva privately at the all star break so thanks to change -- and other threats I don't seem to overly surprise despite its debt which. It's surprising to -- they -- say hey seems built through these streets we went through one sample was founded built through one especially the young team."
[4:27]" One yankees are what six and I have -- that the fact of the Red Sox were able to do this without David Ortiz is is a testament to the rest of the roster though."
[4:35]" Yeah that's pretty good side of their depth and yet -- sorry about that all these -- can virtually go down the Red Sox are able to respond. David Ortiz goes down that would low -- you know making up -- the Red Sox have had been able to carry on getting great contributions from guys like GT through one Mike wolf. Went David Ortiz went down in May start to come back to the forms are. Yeah I you know I think that's the side of a good organization side of a very good team which you know people ask -- what they got to do with the trade -- they may not do much it would because. They like the way their organization to set up Julio Lugo goes down. Jet Lowry comes up this year the shortstop duties without score so they've got a lot of things going well for that right now the organization make it seem to plague debate ought finds itself from the but the thing."
[5:17]" And Jonathan Papelbon saved number 100. That many in that short career."
[5:22]" He adds it's pretty cool I asked him yesterday. You know it's -- stressing wrote to 100 out that'd be a cure has from. You know being a coveted and L five part of the back into the ball by the take over -- the closer -- going to -- think going to close -- and -- an interesting journey which got the pal or bomb but he certainly put himself into elite company he wants the -- and -- company. In validate the interesting thing for me has become the all star break if you like to go to the all started to pick the brain of Mariano Rivera was arguably the greatest closer in the history of the -- so. Apple box -- wants to keep learning in the and it try to get through different phases of -- so it's certainly been a great ride for."
[6:01]" and that Tito is the as the all star American League manager. Imagine having Papelbon is a setup man and now -- 2 to finish it off."
[6:11]" That's a pretty good combo going to that and you know the what think people did say to -- well you know want to build on our outer barrel put up the game the yankees did -- I I think. There's a lot of pressure on the American athlete to win and you only up to go back to the to the Boston Red Sox in 47 to see how home field advantage that the total the World Series so. I think Terry Francona get a -- the other normal baseball group now like you set I think you'd like apple moderate Arab summit to close it out for the the American League."
