[6:30] ..." Was my first year here. Those some and a picture of it Randy Johnson was going to pitch -- game. And we -- on the field we're trying to simulate him so we took a room."...
[0:00]" OK everybody we're going to get started -- take the first question for Terry. First question for -- Okay Steve -- for the right."
[0:17]" But he has his cell phones off right. Terry and they just got here and you know 6 the morning but just -- have to ask anyways -- anything new Josh Beckett. "
[0:28]" No and I actually didn't just -- better for awhile. No it feels pretty good physically. We we spent a few minutes -- them a little bit ago just trying to. Go through what is they'll be like take us because there's been worked day and again just to. Double check. On and make sure he's okay because as we all know when guys are competing there will pull things. -- free number you know try to get through it. No he's he's fine he's. Certainly battling some consistency. You know issues I think some of that is. Having someone of his starts in erupted. And have in the field bleak a couple of weeks ago you know it it's it's been about offering. And the one."
[1:20]" Time."
[1:23]" It Karrie up close and McAuliffe the with Papelbon that Pauley get his last night and then. I mean did it strike him as hard as it -- wasn't kind of deceptive."
[1:31]" While going back to one bucks. -- before IQ he waved me off and we're going out but once my momentum going that way I can turn around. He said he hit him in the glove I don't believe him I think it hit part of his glove and part of your shoulder but again that's what guys say I'll look at video and we'll throw hard to tell. But I don't think there's any repercussions from."
[2:03]" Terry how would you assess David right now -- clearly he's getting on base which is good thing but the production numbers haven't been on. In line with what he's done past. Well someone this past have been unbelievable. You know with a big bat. It's those kind of numbers can change in one game. He's always that threat in the middle that they have to respect. And over the course of a series those things could change dramatically. What you like having those big bats."
[2:42]" Terry can you -- let's admit the last couple years obviously what Jon Lester goes through overcome but can you. We call what point where there was last year this that you got beyond the okay we have to be careful about. Workload of all those things just he's he's fine he's the big game guy."
[3:02]" Lot almost like can actually remember -- time. I know we did a lot of homework. On what he was going through. And and what to expect physically or what was fair to expect -- how we should go about this. And we didn't really make him go slow and I've told these guys a lot -- made it called those folks. In spring training. And I told my so we're really going to. Pissed off yourself. And they were they last place you know we we understand why we're going to go slow with him and we did. And it was very frustrating to him but think it was the correct thing to do. And he got to what he works so hard and we came back and pitched the major leagues he's pitching fine. But it wasn't what it is now and I don't think it was fair whatever expect double when you're competing you want to be there right now. And it's come back it's come back he's farther away from being sick they get bigger and stronger due to video of him. Just like from the back you know they look like the same kid anymore. And and his confidence has grown. He's got a delivery that's built for endurance. Turned in a phenomenal Major League pitcher on top will be in a phenomenal kid."
[4:27]" Terry is there anything particular you see happening -- Ellsbury at the moment."
[4:33]" Kazmir. It's. You know they they have. Pretty good pitching. And they went to about pitching in. They got a mark they got him on his back through -- back for victories -- I have got a little beep. And and we had we had a few guys yesterday that. You know we can get a hit at a certain time think we stranded thirteen runners I might be wrong which seem like a lot. That happens sometimes as part of reason they want. Michael."
[5:10]" Terry for this time of year the late afternoon starts at Fenway. Early October. What is it like for the hitters in terms there's a matter -- right near left here what's it like for them."
[5:23]" we didn't sell the seats in center field. They were actually probably be to our advantage if the sun's out with Lester pitching. Saying that. I mean that's a lot to ask. I mean. We're trying to manageable from through eleventh inning I can't figure out the -- in the clouds and -- automated. I think you get my point if the somewhat shy -- and shadow issues at that time today. We can't start a guy or change a guy on that. But they didn't sell those tickets anyway and I don't know it's. The league thing. I don't know. Going to want to what initially I cannot -- enough and -- it it it picked up a I don't know but anyway so it's going to be green up there so. It won't be the perfect conditions to see but it won't be as much of an issue as if they sold the tickets. Nor Tom R guys that are really complain is when there's a tall lefty. On a day game. When the people it's coming -- Church. Member. Was my first year here. Those some and a picture of it Randy Johnson was going to pitch -- game. And we -- on the field we're trying to simulate him so we took a room. And I looked up and saw all the media there -- little room to occasionally took a picture."
[6:50]" In the back -- Terry you mentioned a moment go deep in the men on base and had we got a key hit a certain moment -- are -- tools that you when your coaching staff have to try to. Get get the team out of a funk when they're not getting those hits source is just something has to kind of right its course."
[7:07]" No naught because I don't know who I consider Faulk. Rings. Score runs. We've just in the game. Works decided by one runner in extra innings there's always everything is everything is glaring every single he. The way we gotta run was they threw all the backstop. And if so if things kind of -- glossed over at times as long as you score. Kotsay hit -- ball it. I came off the bench Cardinals turned Rose up in right field and it did didn't get it. It also again sometimes it's a matter this much couple ball -- guy dismissed from the barrel barely got lining out. Commitment for instances the other night against the Angels kotsay -- all over ball. To -- makes a catch to his left. Lowry comes open kind of dribbled through all. And he zeroing kotsay had a great at bat -- game goes sometimes. Unless --"
[8:13]" Continuous question."
[8:17]" To anticipate any lineup changes tomorrow."
[8:21]" We monthly -- short. Other than that I don't to pick J. D. Drew back and right and l.'s -- and can take on my pleasure now."
[8:32]" Totally comfortable. There after a long night last night and get in at 6 this morning. Why is it good to be working out today what what was the difference --"
[8:42]" What's an optional workout. I think by a -- league. Mandate CF some people here -- to do interviews which is understandable. So we have an optional because that's. The guys that needed or wanted it's available. And the guys they can use the rest -- they're smart enough to do that we'll probably have a handful of guys that -- we'll probably have a handful pitchers are going -- do stuff in the weight room. And we'll try to use it to our advantage we're not we don't have a back to Casey called me. -- going need to be there. And it's like because they're so conscious of cases. It's not coming out or so we're not checking to see shoals rotunda. Use of part manage some -- want to hit some guys -- all -- little late arrival and things like that. Tony has one more I don't Owens. Terry was there any consideration your part to go bird before Tim last married or you. You like to have a starter last I gather we want them both up. Because there was some. I don't know indecision is the right word but when it came down to it we really needed to have the starter. After -- if something happens. We were. We have a guy that hasn't pitched in awhile as our last guy if we can get through an inning. Another semester but if you get through the inning then you have a starter. That can pitch until the game's over sometimes. That this is this kind of made for you under the sort. Things. And now has one. That's okay -- Just gone back to back a little bit how would you assess his fastball and the -- breaking pitches were working. Last night. I thought they were inconsistent. Again there. I guess I saw probably a lot of what you guys saw removed from a different angle. Sometimes you have to make decisions. We were going to have to go with somebody. During that game more than we wanted to. And I thought after we scored. Build the best way for a ball -- to try to let Beckett -- And have a good inning now it strikes W more literally went to what the hell in a hurry but. That's that's the way the game bills it's I thought he was inconsistent especially. Out of the stretch run out of his out of though wind up. There was little more -- to a fastball war gotta stretch. I think you still fight some inconsistencies on. What pitches he feels he can throw it -- a key spot and maybe not get hurt you can seem kind of think it through wouldn't kind of grind it through a little bit."
