[0:01]" It I was able to hit a lot more this offseason not noticing a lot more consider what I did last year at. Normally go through little thing in my lower back injured when -- saint Louis. 2001 or something but usually gives me some trouble was. Actually took a boat in the offseason to see if I could keep my lower max Jones worked out pretty well happy yeah. Not just me in my -- always at the all star break last year and and we were home I thought I did this the offseason once a week so mean and got kind of competitive and I think that helped keep my lower back really strong cells live. Here for the last 23 weeks really well without haven't in the minors you sit back so we're going to do what's. Both squares actually on the up and still pretty well just. Got a few things I can improve on these some notes from some doesn't really know what to do and so -- we're going to do. I'm tired after these duo together. See the doctors in Boston we give back a little -- look at him he's just. He's run around grown up talk to and you know offend a lot of fun thing now in this offseason he's been he's been a blast."
[1:15]" Hugging thinking she'll be bitten -- that the management. You threw it into Boston -- com have you -- you do."
[1:24]" I think -- is -- optimism and then look for four for the season. Hardy ended any work better than we did you know look at Florida to make another run at -- so. You know as -- all the ups now that I had a felt like a finish strong and into the season on a positive note look forward to starting this year that you have. Good very good posting I guess that's key you know. Got through their first round after starting off a little bit slow was able to pick it up and it's some key hits in the NFL I must September was real good got some -- just illustration and just -- things fell in place that they can just continue. She know these doesn't -- the city of Boston playing there was it was definitely -- on the environment. But for the most part when you're a world championship -- which looked forward to doing in the end it was the first chance of had to do that. First chess player in the World Series and can woo royals some special."
[2:31]" You know I had distractions from a different nature last year and now I don't think it was. You know I know this and TS in Boston and others lot of coverage of it. You know I've always felt like they'll put as much pressure on myself as a can come from any outside. You know sore so. You know. Transferred to another league facing guys that you never faced before or had very many more at bats against played a ballpark should never played in those things are all adjustments and like as a -- As the year went along and August September all around I kind of don't -- start playing like at how to like -- all year and then. It's going into the post season you know has some big at bats is a big hits and felt like -- we will you can't. -- you know last start off gray had a had a good good April felt like and then and then. Ken Delis and thanks China from a swing here and there anytime you do that you try to stay out of prolonged slumps when you get into the season. And felt like going through a couple of those which really hurt me so but it's all said and done you know kept my head above water was able. Can pull through strong at the end of and hopefully can can learn from those kind of universities and they take committee this year and and it was just to start -- on the you know."
[3:56]" those went really really well girl with Ella. Themselves Wenger knows grade my wife uses really really Buick and the key is and and I think it ticker about eight or nine weeks of solid start sleep tonight that's not. That's not -- sacrifice for the 'cause the offseason and worked out really -- and give them more into you've been up all night of the babies -- and so. -- just. My wife was say different but for me Darren was on the back -- a little bit this offseason McKee is but you know that's always. You know welcome thing have a blasting an album so -- I was these are better uses. But see a -- can we get back can two Boston. But it takes a look at him this makes very isn't just see what the prognosis is see where I think we view from here -- Gathered there's some issues with the is that hips not -- exactly. You know around the Sox are on the ball away should just to -- as a kind of come all the way around and those were issues that we knew about all even going into surgery just going to have to. Follow for a couple years and then sister goes ahead forms are they -- You do another surgery to bring an all around so."
[5:10]" nobody's senator food situation. If you guys don't come into camp I for a job about."
[5:18]" I'll -- spot for a three has -- children I think he'll do it you know anytime you have. Any time we have that competition that drives does a little bit better and other both capable played it. One Pena defeat cocos got a lot of experience the big leagues he kind of knows what to do make adjustments and get -- it. The had a great second you know into the season last year even into the post season so it'll be assisting 'cause it definitely is. An adjustment to play every day at this level and then. You els had a great run at it and now look at Florida to see in a competition was pushed both of those guest. Now we're happy to -- with the hunger still be villa for its team. Clearly had a good road last year and then nothing we played really well from from start to finish. Repeating is always a tough thing you know baseball would be you know as long as it is anything can happen but. You know barring any major injury and keeping guest tells him they wish they aren't. I -- yes. Yarders -- that run -- to I don't know did take too long it. At the start one in drive to go to takes what three minutes or something like and not not very long at all users are now yes shoot fouls -- she wanted to features top line up close. You know there's enough room involves some people seem him before ironic to me -- you want to -- it would mean if it was you know it. Now I'll have you know honestly don't have a preference I think that was just one of the things that you know -- some that sounds team we needed it. You've got to hit -- dolphins and I -- know I was just trying to get -- substance hopefully can you know for the most part I think it's just. You know one of those things that you know I'll always -- for a little bit but you know I don't think -- and you know really affects. Your overall approach you just this year hit leadoff started game or something like that makes little bit different. I think you're very powerful poison."
[7:32]" I don't see. Blacked."
[7:43]" The death face things coming in you're you're always relaxed. A lot more your second year just just based on. You know knowing your environment -- going knowing your teammates and it makes a lot of users kind of come in and sit right in. Feel like you. Kind of the season. Here at -- big key for me now Fella -- Played well down the stairs had a good you know September -- right into the playoffs and then. You know as it is harder to find fault you know I know what and having your wanted to have but a lot of guys played really well kept me about lawyer most of the year and they get in the playoffs and fuels and he has learned that you know -- a World Series ring -- this hardened to complain about them. Did -- I there's nothing more they think you're disappointed in in. The production and yourself you come in it was higher expectations but I -- here's where -- is -- had a good start. Give some prolonged -- working quite get out of -- but. So I kept my head above water had a good good September -- play elsewhere also like him any good right now so hopefully -- coming -- that momentum into the season this year."
[8:59]" Right."
[9:06]" Death to not think you. Any year in in any new city is there's definitely an adjustment I think Boston you you hear a lot about it press coverage those fans things like that. I had a great time and -- will you -- World Series it is hard to beat. He had death grandma's now but you know this year know what to expect going is should make a lot easier. You have always. Felt that it's important. D fairs and pitch in winter ball game I think I think the fans the most -- left. It's fun to go out there wants offensive performance we've got to score enough runs to keep our pitchers. You know by the water and and and win a ball game but for the most part pitch in -- his wins and then. You don't think we got a lot of gas pride yourself on how to play defense here has always been a big part of my game. I think it was -- it was a great Aussie -- you know we made a few. Additions but I don't when we had a whole lots of to -- to fix I think for the most part. All our guys did really well together last year we've played really well together all season barring any injury this year we should be. Right on track hopefully make another run at a now he's you know it's hard to say thank you. I -- started great right out of the gate felt real good in here's a couple areas and can prize funds going around looking for. -- make adjustments to -- I'd never faced teams that I never played any prolonged games against all those adjustments take time. Bush didn't quite take as long as it did that. -- I did you know really came through and I needed to as far as. September and in the -- in the post season win so worked up get. Jack yeah I think you said you. You've come through the big gimmicky situation. Bases loaded in the first inning and just happen to -- gators you know must win ball games Beckett pitched well the night before. Earlier in this series we had the bases loaded -- can learn a thing just one and one of the things that you trying to make solid contact felt like the ball's gonna get off the wall for a double. So he's -- residential loss. -- big relief off my shoulders from -- for -- we just get a four run lead but it you hit the post season definitely definitely a long way. And I you know you're gonna have so here you're going to have tough stretches. Adversity going to find in different areas you -- You know always been a firm believer you gotta keep you gotta keep play -- play hard -- down -- we -- So really get down and out I think you're going to take some criticism of as far as. You're individual stats go -- But I mean. I yeah am I can again three BS we still want the ball game and those says -- try to keep a positive attitude and really keep inclusion trying to find two things in the case. Me and magazine when and there are a lot really work and trying to find some stuff I think our stuff kind of playoff as the season kind of came to -- of September and and is -- a post season. Felt like at some hits when it really -- help our team you know it's in advance to different levels in -- and win ball games but. For the most part. Our guest plays so well that dead they're allowed -- to struggle and make adjustments to get that point in my what's -- better. -- yeah. I played -- forces at play with some good some of Andruw Jones. Coco -- was one of the best that are saying voice -- to fill up until that point last year he. -- made plays all season long and -- I didn't think had a chance and and you know. Els becomes overdoses you know pretty much the same thing those guys -- the fears of -- out there and it and another big speculation -- and trying to figure out what's going to happen that you never knows competition. Hazard both capable of doing the job is just a matter of get him out there and let them compete little busy last. It he play well you know receives notice talent noses limits on what can -- can't do. And I think he does that well it is goes out there can slap the ball around -- city's suit is -- certain -- might take a bigger swing -- ballpark. He was fun to watch to the he definitely energized us and some time Torre needed him last year team of some big big split key hits and -- to be it'll be an issue -- very -- has got to go other compete. And Seattle situation ourself well. I think SC yet -- makes everything. Savvy veteran guys playing well whatever they don't come through big clutch situations Johnson got to have contributions from guys like. Pedroia in the NLC and you know leaving you of these gases have been around as a little while they come in there and they they have good. Just overall at bats. -- here's walks whatever may be unique contributions from everybody knows those two games like them"
