" I'm Bob Ryan -- a -- ten point oh with you today. Kevin Paul DuPont with this walk off home run it back with is still much against the White Sox. On Wednesday night the other cases up to 23 home runs it is on target to drive in a hundred what he's got 77. Well this after that that started that this is pretty impressive I think that."
" Is impressive I thought that said he said one good month which was due February -- Murray hit where -- Ortiz numbers 31 yourself. These guests over a thousand member and June right so the the right numbers for him but by and large if you look at this season. Think these -- the seasons he had the two years before Manny got rid of them in game here."
" That's chosen by the but -- contextual and relative and effective that it may. That was tremendous concern -- could not. Being legitimately concerned about the man after the first to what the right agent and any had a wrist injury that year fact is that since. -- 1 week in June. All right ten week period he's now hit more home runs and anyway the American League and third most about in baseball. Opens some."
" had a remarkable spike here if you look at their last ten games -- he didn't play the last Yankee right so we. They're seven and two in the time he's he's been on this street so. It -- out now. What's the year been about his -- is it not Ramirez being there is it just is is I don't think it has resident yeah because when when he was in his -- bay was at his best so that didn't coincide at all right. Right now but you updates are not that if you take that out of the equation I would say that it. You know this is almost the golf analogy with a guy getting the -- yes it or our guy -- well -- in the beginning of the season guys are going 88 mile an hour and ninety mile an hour fastballs by him he was getting into -- don't we want and value -- missing entirely that's not happening so much of what the other with a -- like about what he's doing Kevin. He's going the other way regularly I was a furcal went with Atlanta got -- he says so oklahomans over the last. -- three or four weeks to left or center field right right and and and and noticeably iPod just before this started. Inside stuff right here he was still trying to jerk everything yeah your area where these lineup for the best people where he's still -- but. When he was doing -- he was looking awful just in a with a resolve speed or or or real heat was missing on he was always bad in here so now -- go to of the west and the question is. As he still and valuable and focal point of the batting order and I would say this that the how can money given his sixteen -- the last eleven games this hot spot purchased it this hot streak coincides. With the fact that they're scoring a lot of runs in general is going once I got to believe he has something to do with that I don't think yeah yeah surely he's scoring a lot of runs not only with a homers in the RBI -- come in what sixteen times I -- bay ink is on target -- drive and -- hundred. Ortiz -- going to be a -- held for years ago but they're looking for a study 300 -- may still have."
