" Am Christian Andersen welcomed at fox sports icons covers of the World Series them on the field after game five once likened rose's place on during the broadcast he joins us now. The Phillies hold -- to eight to six win in the series now 32 as we shift to New York for the first time the World Series history to pitchers from Arkansas squared off. And what it game by one Cliff Lee and what do game by AJ Burnett burst your thoughts on Leslie's performance tonight. The plea was do it northern great Charlie Manuel left the -- little bit you'll probably should have pulled them sooner otherwise the pitching I would look a lot better but. Pitching lines are not that relevant at this time of year it's winning and losing. Now it's really interesting to meet your Christian is that AJ Burnett was on three days' rest. And Cliff Lee wasn't. According to stats. Pitchers on three days' rest in the postseason against counterparts on normal rest. Thirteen and 36 -- 1999. It's a very telling statistic. There was a lot of talk about whether Charlie Manuel made the right decisions starting with the game five instead of game four on short rest. This outcome tonight somewhat vindicate Manuel -- didn't pitch badly in game four but again there was a lot of criticism and to me. I know in the old days these guys went on three days' rest we all think they should be able to do it but. They are not conditioned to do it and now as we go forward it's going to be an issue the entire series. Chase Utley two more home runs than any ties the World Series record for most home runs in a World Series. He's playing out of his mind right now you finally got that was not a solo home run every whether one has been a solo home run -- got a chance talk she's after the game. I did and one of the highlights of my professional career I actually got -- the smiling get up and that's -- And Chase Utley is really the Phillies Derek Jeter. He is a guy who frequently plays hurt without admitting to injury. He also is the guy who will be relatively polite or supporters but never offer much insight. When asked that was -- Tied Reggie Jackson 5 home runs in the world answers the only guys ever to do that -- the chase and -- to get excited but how cool with that. He said it is cool and it's a bit surreal. And he went on to praise the team. But this is the guy that. Doesn't get some of the accolades that he probably deserves he's one of the top ten players in the game in my opinion. I'd I'd definitely agree on the island he's been fantastic this series and since he's been in the majors -- let's move on game six were shifted up to New York -- the rails tomorrow to NYC. -- versus Pedro you mentioned earlier in the three days' rest. Who -- like in this matchup now -- has to go on three days well here we go again just as you say Christian Andy Pettitte. Of the three Yankee pitchers going on three days' rest would be the least likely to succeed. He had shoulder trouble in September that caused them in this historic -- with the -- And he is an older guy is not someone like AJ Burnett or CC in the prime of his career. There's another factor here as well. For all the concern about -- on short rest Pedro on normal rest is not necessarily. What you think of for a normal picture. He had to prolong the playoffs before his -- We're both his post season starts in those left I think help he needs the rest at this stage of his career even though -- didn't pitch all season. So why he isn't a better position on normal rest. It's going to be very interesting that the both these guys go. Pedro did not address the media tonight you'll be talking tomorrow and I advise people to suited. Any pitched well in game two so we actually see how he responds. Are right schemes and then we need to see Cole Hamels he scheduled our games and but he recently made Davidson -- wait for the season be over. -- Sri tired we talked about the banquet circuit now that. Talked Ozzie Guillen Ozzie said if you manager he dragons but into the office and he get on the same page -- pitcher. Your thoughts on the Chiefs comets and what. Well I'm gonna -- my entire column on this particular issue tonight on foxsports.com. Charlie Manuel did not need to -- Cole Hamels into his office. Cole Hamels at midnight tonight after the game walked in -- field office and explain what he gets it. Now Cole Hamels later said he didn't mean it the week came out clearly wants to pitch game seven. It is not a certainty he will pitch game seven Charlie Manuel told me that -- is definitely in the mix. This was all relatively cleared up tonight. Cole Hamels made it very clear he would like to pitch game seven street check out cans article on fox sports account. He -- us the game is Wednesday night he Dixie Yankee Stadium will be at the work out tomorrow -- me vulnerable in once again. But you can -- six on fox. And of course the game seven in necessary and we appreciate it will senior Kristen don't need to rope this time it is the most fun we it. I can't wait for game six and if it goes to game seven all the better. We'll see next."
