" And welcome -- the bracket are joined by four big league GM Jim boat in until we're gonna talk nationally pitching match up in the post season with a in the division stayed away they are. Will be the Dodgers and -- opened up again and in the opening round. Big question mark here for the Dodgers they do it's just Chad Billingsley who has the best starter unquestionably the first half all our pitcher. He's now the odd man out now."

" He is -- and -- Joe Torre on Wednesday announced the Billingsley is going to the bullpen. That may not be for the rest of the year -- to try to get straightened out of the Dodgers have the most uncertain rotation of any playoff team. That's what we do know though Randy Wolf and rookie Corrado will be two of the starters. When -- the Dodgers have won eight of its last nine starts he's got seven innings or more. In seven of the last eight starts -- in the meantime. Two very impressive starts against the Giants and Pirates since his concussion and remember in the -- against the Phillies he threw six shutout innings. They were like dead Billingsley -- be their top two starters that was the plan all year but the fact is -- who lost four straight games as in the area over six. Her shots and hurt and remember that he's 013 and four horrible starts against the Phillies. They may wanna put into the bullpen so he matches up against Utley Howard and Ibanez late would George Cheryl. Garland to another possibility for rotation because he's won four straight games but he also doesn't match up well the Phillies go into any area over six. And -- they acquired in the last four games start he's given up two runs or laughs but again that's against lineups like San Francisco and Arizona. Joe Torre gets paid the big bucks is one of the best managers in the game the next -- going to be very interesting as he makes his final decision."

" And Billingsley was three point 38 ERA pitcher before the All-Star break two runs worse. Than that now -- to talk by the Phillies today and meet I gotta. Pound the table right now Pedro Martinez this guy. Has been amazed at how they got they would take like middle of the middle of the game fifth sixth inning made three inning guy. You cannot keep him given his history given what he's done lately out of the rotation for the --"

" Pedro has been so effective he should be the number two starter after quickly but there's no question that we he's gonna start games one and five. -- seven into since the trade. And you know what he's at two complete games he's also only given up one earned run in five of those starts but Pedro Martinez as you mentioned. The only five and over the Phillies have won all seven games that he started. The other thing about -- got a little chip on the shoulder about the Dodgers. Wave that well it's Traber to lineup addition fields you know what the Dodgers have done this year. Don't ever bet against Pedro Martinez in the post season the rest of the chip on the shoulder. Cole Hamels will start the third game. Gets the Dodgers sixteen innings one earned run fourteen punch out. Oh my goodness -- by the way -- be the force started presumably give okay if it's not the arguably."

" Hey go back to the early ninety's there -- had a chip on the shoulder he looked like it was early ninety's the other night to a 130 pitches. That was great that is what he's overnight yeah and -- that like late little light it's on the there's probably 25 Major League teams right now what who did we pass on how did we not kind of guy especially -- The the other series right now that it would stack up Saint Louis against Colorado the cards I mean all you look pretty solid. One in two with Wainwright and Carpenter or not -- telling that order financial and he has been outstanding as it is easy is that those three guys."

" It's that simple various look Adam Wainwright right now is the leading Cy Young award he's won eighteen games struck out a 183 hitters. Most impressed about Adam 82 with a 18 when he All-Star break. And it's curve ball so unhittable hitters are batting 180 against the breaking ball. By the way Chris Carpenter sixteen -- hit his whip is one point oh well that's the best 12. Combination of starting pitchers in all of baseball enjoy open marriage you mentioned. Is the under the radar starter in the nationally because he's behind Wainwright and Carpenter he's won fourteen games in the area up three. And by the way who's gonna start game four it -- to the bad form just had an MRI John Smoltz -- shoulder is hurting they might have to go to a premium rotation -- you know makes sense."

" The Cardinals are outstanding all -- long in terms of pitching. The other the other side of that coin is out of Colorado Rockies -- and obviously ability thinks the team in terms of getting. But who -- who is Tracy throughout the world's number one starter from -- government has has the stuff. As good as anybody in the league he's definitely top five in just stuff along. He's given up two runs or less than every single start in August and September separate it. You know what against the Cardinals he went eight innings two earned runs he'd like to pitch against the Cardinals Derosa should pitch game two. Because not only be fourteen and nine but he's eight and two with a three ER race in the All-Star break. He would get the nod for me over Jason Marquis only because Jason is not pitching well in the second half and in the first -- fact he's four and five. Aaron Cook it he gets healthy they hope he gets healthy in time for the playoffs -- pitch game four if not Jason Hammel -- again maybe three man rotation. And I know he's just heard was computers lineup the window -- for us so don't worry Giants fans we got you covered Giants of course could overtake Iraqis for the wild -- What a dynamic 123 day got -- I mean Lincecum. -- Zito they're coming out to a substance a little crazy -- no question about it very if they get to the post season watch out because in the short series. Those three stars all them -- to shut them out. And by the way the -- in between Lincecum -- Because good luck -- went into one night and the low left hit a curve ball the next night -- Jim thanks for the excited remember all your baseball right here on foxsports.com we got covered. Throughout the regular season into the playoffs Jim -- I'm Barrett --"
