Play from 0:01[0:01]" Clear -- with Perez in the third inning are you hoping that. Z ideas there that if he can get out of that inning that I mean that's still certainly a winnable yeah."

Play from 0:09[0:09]" That's we're trying to do you know trying to you know given different look for the left -- there and you know also try to present a little bit so in the seers -- that inning then trying to control damage but it obviously just didn't work out things."

Play from 0:32[0:32]" and there's -- can talk about kimono and Kerry well."

Play from 0:38[0:38]" You know some of the same -- we saw before -- I think you know in this series. Pick up -- balls on the ground there early in in the right spot. I mean not much you can do about it then so -- very good job of working ahead had good stuff. We almost work today again and then you know and JD got him so. And then things just sort of nominal on from there so. Not just wasn't. In the cards for us tonight John Lackey pitched great for us really picked us up the bullpen I mean kid and pitched three weeks. -- his Ortiz stats so. And he did a good job in and pitched well in the -- your bullpen."

Play from 1:27[1:27]" Circus that is there any concern concerning you know 19 to three of the last two at two games I was going to us decide game."

Play from 1:34[1:34]" Well you know it's still two games. And you know you see a lot of seven game series and that's going to come down -- game seven. They didn't stood the two teams that one more baseball games than anybody during the season two teams of -- beat up -- a little bit over the course of the past week in. Notes which should -- not something they're bush look forward to overhead Tony Eric. How much of an issue was a strike zone from nursing employment person and well I have a -- had some issues early on but the other -- have a tough job I just felt like. Yes and particularly you know an inning against a team like the Boston or New York kill teams that are very patient mania. You gotta make sure that. You know when you are command the baseball that it was going to play that game. You get those calls and -- we felt like a little tight but. You know then again. No we weren't exactly power and zoning -- so. Victor's little bit upset and puzzled than upset that you know that's part of it it's part of it."

Play from 2:42[2:42]" Eric with a primarily young club how much to worry about. The momentum that's been built up the last two games and -- stopping that -- having them go into tomorrow with their -- clear."

Play from 2:55[2:55]" Police you know that it assesses stopped and asked stop tonight emanating go to that -- to bed the -- with their heads -- You know and think good thoughts and coming tomorrow we expect in the wind and you know they have experience a great deal of course sort of season and we can experience a great deal a short period time in New York series so it's it's another step force but. Yeah it's not completely uncharted I think it's something that. We've shown time and time again -- that we handle these things pretty well and when you talk about separate union we say that a lot. This is a perfect example and and things and work out today but it's one game. Now -- put it behind us and you know be and be ready to go tomorrow John Aaron Hill and -- where what Westbrook tomorrow what steps are. And talk about Breslow Westbrook it did a good job -- earlier just look at formula -- his chance to win a ballgame and -- you just -- some big games for us as aggressively knows -- to be successful and I don't need to go out there and -- pitches came reduced chance to win. Okay gigs outside so let's question bill -- Sizemore as Paul trusting his fair enough felt that change anything happens later on to think. Hard to say obviously gives us a great boost right off the bat but. No we still have to pitch still play defense movements you know. And still the bottom line and to -- more able to do that night thanks"
