" Hi there I'm Darryl Brock joined by former Major League general manager or baseball analyst Jim voting and you we will be talking hot topics -- on baseball right now we're the biggest ones. Billy Wagner true impact I was potentially first he was going to the Red Sox that he wasn't going -- now he finally has gone. What happened behind the scenes and B how big of an impact can he have a boss will be."

" And the scenes Billy Wagner realize the New York Mets had an opportunity if they wanted to to pick up his option that happen. He would that is that K rod next year he wants to make sure that he can close games next year that's very important to him. So by accepting this trade he now knows he will be a free agent the end of the year that was very important to him. They also want to be in and -- Penner is this gets him into a pennant race so -- a win win for him now the Red Sox this envelope pick up even though Billy Wagner needs to have two days off in between pitching. This guy that's going to change their bullpen they already opened Joba back there setting up a couple -- you put and then -- Delcarmen. And Ramirez is one of the better bullpen is now in the league -- a huge pick up Billy Wagner still throwing 96 miles an hour I can go with a lighter than he's a good pick up. Without question back you up."

" Yeah Okajima and Wagner both those left hitters come on the bullpen very different pitchers what's coming out to a junk what's coming after the hard up. Now with a nationally to match owner Fred Wilpon said Obama and I will be back -- voted confidences biggest vote of confidence has yet we'll come back and then. And I in turn said he didn't bring back Jerry Manuel -- start the top Goodwill for bad move by the met him that tonight."

" Absolutely very it's a good move a warm and I deserves to be back -- just under three year extension they believe and Omar it's not his fault the entire team broke down got injured. I've never remembered in my entire grade this many key players. Getting hurt when you can't blame the G and you can't blame the manager that thing at Omar's got his work cut out from the south he's got a lot of work to do. Number one he's got to build up the player development and scouting departments expected overhauled there because he does not have enough to trade right now. He cannot compete with teams like the Braves and the Phillies and try to make trades. The sponsors -- two week. He needs to get better make up in that club out that's been a major problem that clubhouse he's got a great nucleus of course and Carlos Beltran and David Wright and Jose Reyes. But in the end he's got to get better make up guys to play with them and obviously get his team healthy especially the pitchers."

" He's worked with a number two payroll in all of baseball -- nine games under 500 committed to tonight's game obviously very banged up not to GM's fault. Talk about another guy John Smoltz ends up signing with the Cardinals as you told us he would last week. Question I have -- is is this guy was getting shelled pretty much in boss at all -- the national league's with the Cardinals bang bang goes out there wins this first game. Why the turnaround how to turn."

" There are couple mechanical things that he discovered once once he got released from the Boston Red Sox. He -- a -- coming up the rubber differently he made that adjustment. Many -- diaper Dave Duncan Dave Duncan made a couple of adjustments as well all the -- got a better line is delivery improved. But let's not get carried away this was the San Diego Padres lineup. But he struck out seven in a row. They're hitting 240 as a team the second worst lineup in baseball. We can't get carried away but the one thing we do know is that John Smoltz is still good enough to -- around the lineup one -- worst case scenario even if he doesn't pitch well after two or three starts. -- still help the Cardinals in the bullpen in late September."

" Rebecca park's pretty good place to get a group -- of right know -- if you're a pitcher Al lineup. Hi Jim -- thank you and I don't forget foxsports.com. Has you covered throughout the pennant races. In Major League Baseball for Jim. I'm Daryl Brock we'll see -- next. Where should -- And about Gillette bought."

" Eastern one for Americans."
