" The question that I I really wanted to ask you. You're an all time in this lineup you don't featured -- instead you have to nearly midnight. I always thought he put of the pitcher in the eight hole because you know a great athletes all pitchers far and you want to give us an extra bat but. Maybe there's a difference -- could you do do -- some time because we have some pitchers are great athletes and and we had some that are not. You had some. You can head to head did and that that we knew we had to we didn't have you believe most the time you take your nickname of what's mop up. I can sound upset about no my you mopped up where was look we're way hitter we -- Coco Hillary you know the game was significant and -- a good there was actually a surprise. Your home to find out -- and I. Put. Because I'm on record saying I think the pitcher hitting eighth is a better nationally lineup because it makes the ninth for consider. If he's a good second leadoff feeling it second hand me that night which is actually first internal and then you get to. Which should be laid off the significance certain numbers and that are okay I'm not doing that so far this year except for a couple of times this -- have been winning games. -- I'd -- who's playing the infield who's playing the outfield. For the guys not to be distracted with who's in the eighth seed but I guarantee if we start to struggle offensively you do it again to see the -- and that's the second time around. Albert comes around and clean up he's been okay who -- the most important things we can do. To put to bed his numbers and his nobody in this wilderness -- are you do it. He crew guys on base ahead of them and you have protection kind of so. The first time up he's only got two guys -- But the next time around you have potentially three position players -- is important. Okay well so you'll make up and you go ahead all those reasons I put this lineup. Homes in black. Visitors and blue and give me this is the Mets left for today's pathetic from mr. Jerry Manuel German don't show up with Derek for the blue there aren't. And then during the game Joe continue -- he tracks the game. Changes even where the inning in his over -- they aren't. This is this yesterday. Yeah yesterday's game. You know -- little circle numbers. This is the last out of the inning so look remained the last -- yesterday okay so there -- you make a quick check of the board. Can you receive communication forget who's leading off right and under the changes in. Schumacher can produce as -- funeral here since I was using one of these guys down here it more chapter crossed. Finished -- and you -- off okay. Well you know what a great point about this. I've seen these get autographed. And he's benefited the our foundation quite a -- and not you know what game. Through game memorabilia from people like that and this is that this is actually for the game because he wants his old nuts yes well as he's got to sign right here so in these things will go over 300 bucks or something she Beth and go so that charity but a lot of --"
" Are right well enough the last thing I want to mention I know that's an old Busch Stadium. Tenured pitcher on skid to the lineup found and posted so with the players concealed. -- my -- going to were used to always put it there -- just before he went into the showers and as a player I news that the reason you put it there was because you could see out here office whoever was. Check it out there and you know what times I made a point to go on there looking at him looking in your office and your look at them and you know my question had a question right up front."
" When my favorite memories do -- Robert Wyatt. Most guys know that you view you know my third guy you're didn't so much as you literally would kick off -- turn up until May try to -- ligament. -- And I realise and as coaches Plano that's what goes you just or arrogant and I'm sure fan. That's because he's there he's egotistical and --"
" As. Well as a bookstore and that your boss -- their call popular United's attack off. This certainly remember all that is. It Tony's Tony explaining to us how lineup is made. How he puts together how long he starts is that thinking about it my personal opinion I think he's taken in the offseason about lineups. And he's chocolate is is probably true. But you know Tony thanks for giving us the time and you know I really appreciate the fact that now people can see. Could you brought into this this isn't just find as the players and throw together there's a lot of thought and."
" And time it was and this coaching realizes it that this -- works it's a good confident work so mostly it's not a -- and Nelson would you do you do would it take your best shot men innocent people get. And very pleasantly surprised about the -- be like going to doctors often Dennis and actually enjoy this. You're welcome anytime placed -- here."
