lot lower than it is now but still really good -- advantage. travel deals to las vegas David Ortiz has been hitting so well and has had you know with David Ortiz and just look back where he was three years ago. And now everybody you guys myself fan. Thought he was done and you know what David Ortiz has been through a whole lot of stores PDs stuff -- -- bothers him. I think he's learned by now that there's
accept because. It there's billions upon billions of dollars a month. It Melky Cabrera and last year Melky Cabrera would have that we five million dollar contract -- 88 -- got caught and he's making a million bucks a year or so let me. There's money. It needs at least sucked this year and he's been that this year so it just goes it is because surely you can get away with it. And get rich and not just like like reached that's like baseball rich. David Ortiz would say part of the reason for his recent successes he's actually become a better hitter not faster bat speed been a better hitter because travel deals to las vegas he's decided to use the entire field and go to left field do you buy into that theory. travel deals to las vegas -- Yeah I think there's some -- that I think if you look at the spray charts there's something to write as well -- The officials just -- -- because I think David Ortiz in the -- said he likes there's probably a poll I think you're going to left field.

Good morning they were well when you're probably travel deals to las vegas watching the game and you're paying travel deals to las vegas attention to your game are you able to keep one eye on the -- Bruins gamers or or do you not have divided loyalties when your team's plan. Were in the sweet I wasn't there last night the number that were in the box largely -- and the Bruins -- final certainly have all of the season. So happy for those guys that played it a game process. Bad would you agree that the -- of a team is demonstrated not when it's playing 700 baseball but win you had a pothole or rough spot and I think you hit one now do we now find out what this team is made -- the next week -- -- Yeah I think I think I think that's I think you know execute. The good news. You know making those rough -- is smaller -- -- -- patch of longer and and you know so we -- little political pomp and I was there last night it was an honor. That night and you know just got to grind through those and get back plan. Better baseball more crisp baseball excuse me and that's what we've done -- Most of April and just got to minimize the little rough patch and get past the. Whoa whoa what are you worried about today and then obviously you don't want this to continue its five of six. You don't you wanna stop the -- what is the biggest concern. -- -- all of that you know is it all really -- back -- pitching him in. What were executing in and pound the strike zone and you know sort of take it to the opposing lineup. Word a much better -- and then give ourselves a chance. And control the game and then. Fitter to allow them to Carolina in the dugout and people abroad that are. You know we don't get about. Our team and word is. And we just. We had a bit of a rough patch. We have we had to use a lot of a lot of football but over the weekend in Texas and certainly Monday in Minnesota so. We we know that the scramble the vehicle in the last two days and hopefully we can get. Hopefully as we move for the next few days we'll get the chance to reset the pulpit kind of the attention. Back on track from a workload import and pick on him doesn't it goes back to detained at the same guys there and and you know just in the back excuse -- Bad as it's safe to say the -- in the medical staff in the training staff or may be a little more concerned about Joel Hanrahan in that he is seeking travel deals to las vegas a second opinion as opposed to well Bailey and his return. Yeah. You know we knew that -- was gonna require some sort of significant period of rest and as is the cases these things -- include pitcher and an army issue. You know our our. Our initial. Work is all the focus on trying travel deals to las vegas to see if we can manage this situation conservatively. You know. Did get a pitcher back on. Without doing anything invasive. And -- a gathering information and as you said -- get -- he and the other doctor which which he should travel deals to las vegas we encourage that. -- away waiting to -- informational. You know talking travel deals to las vegas there amongst the group of the -- figure out the best the best course travel deals to las vegas but. He's got a real injury and we just got to keep gather information and ultimately allow and so. It comparable with the decision and to a transfer them. Are we call -- back in spring training there was a line of questioning that you heard in John -- heard as well and it was as almost what are you gonna do with two closers why do you need to closers as it turns out who actually need three. Where were you ever. Seriously considering travel deals to las vegas trading one of these guys away obviously was a good thing you didn't because travel deals to las vegas you know you need three not to. Yeah we never really considered that. And of course now the book. Now both -- and failure on the DL and we expect -- to be back sooner rather than later. The -- the idea. Going in the spring training travel deals to las vegas analyst you know sort of bill. You know as much depth is because -- perhaps have more guys on paper than we have room for knowing that. In that building travel deals to las vegas there's an attrition whether it's happened during training early in the season. And avoid putting ourselves in the position where we were. -- Early in the air force to go out and -- revealed acquire someone. And you know we've added this then -- the AAA debt these little bit more early -- than we hoped but. We've got some guys you know prologue there a lot of another guy in there tonight. Was it built -- well it is his crack in -- and throw the ball really well as -- from all really good golf for over a year now AAA. Is talent -- yourself. This is an opportunity for other guys to step up and and but it but it you know we certainly. Which are little mindful that the possibility would be facing some boundaries and they keep as much as it was a -- The one thing you did get criticized for a lot in the offseason was the David Ortiz signing band do you feel. Of vindicated at all do you surprised by his production so far and what did you think of the Shaughnessy column yesterday. Did you feel it was inappropriate or or on line. I was disappointed by that you know and it's it's not I don't mean toward toward -- specifically travel deals to las vegas but just generally. It -- visit. One. When a player happens to be in his thirties so. Is still performing at a high level. There's this sort of automatic. Suspicion -- I think it stylized that you looked -- yesterday and thought about it I wonder if you know David -- among the most consistent. And durable. Players and completely over the last several years even counting the fact that you missed some time last year. His performance when he's been out there has been remarkably consistent including power numbers. And so if he has started this year. You know sale of first -- so hitting 300 with the power instead of more of the power. You know would would anyone saying anything travel deals to las vegas and then. And then once you -- -- -- take that into account. And recognized that well. You know every good player goes through street during the year where -- -- 400 and then every good player also -- -- stricter -- -- where there is 200 over ten years and that's how they end up. At 300. At the end of the year and you know David would be the first facilities. Probably not in and year hitting 400. But we fully expect and then here being you know our ambassador to Italy has. Huge part of the middle our lineup so it is it disappointing travel deals to las vegas to me that. Because of the hot start. It's got to face that question -- whether. As he said yesterday you know when he didn't get -- -- its first couple years because the other big question the other way as to the disappointing thing and it's not. I take it we understand. In the big picture you know where those questions come from but. As David says he's. You know he's part of program as every as every player you know -- player baseball is. And you know that there ought to be. If that Bedard they -- more hot streak. Raise that question in my opinion. Two part follow up to that bent but didn't the players and the players union sort of bring the suspicion on to themselves with their actions travel deals to las vegas and an end there stonewalling travel deals to las vegas during travel deals to las vegas the steroid era . And the second part is would you not agree to what David is doing. I know it's not going to be you know u
