" I am Barry LeBron can't please be joined right now by foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal previews and they simply outstanding matchup the you can see. I'm basically baseball on -- this weekend Ken first of All-Star with a Marlins. Heading into the city of brotherly love to take on the Phillies Cole Hamels on the mound for Philadelphia to have his guys struggled especially in the first part of season. Had good starts in the second half. Big question here would expect from him come playoff time. No idea."

" Hamels has been horribly inconsistent all season. There have been stretches where he looked like he was really coming on really coming out of it in any fell back into patterns where he just couldn't escape beginnings. And really that's been his biggest problem. He has told me on more than one occasion this season at times when things start to go wrong it's a little unraveled loses confidence. It's easy to forget that Cole Hamels is still a young pitcher. But remember here's a guy who was really accomplished in the post season last year the World Series MVP. He should not be rattled by the size of the stage. I expect him to perform better that he has all season long. In an -- actually east matchup the nationals will pay a visit to Atlanta the Braves pitcher tired Jerry -- this guy's been lights out lately. It's going -- in his last four starts with the ERA under one. That the real guy how good his chair detergents. You're not going to huge Virgin's name in the Cy Young race with Chris Carpenter and Lincecum and Adam Wainwright. But really he's just a tick below where those guys were this season. And I fully expect in the coming years ahead. Is going to have Cy Young type campaigns. Might even win one or two awards. Both turgeon and Javier Vasquez had been brilliant in September. Is still young guy someone knows how to pitch and has the stuff to go with it. -- very much underrated right now I guide we'll know a lot about one of the best pitchers in the national. And finally the Royals play the twins had a -- be talked about the Royals of this part of the season but boy Zack Greinke. -- make a final start of the year does he need another solid start this weekend or or should he really have a Cy Young RD a locked up. I don't know what Zack Greinke can do beyond what he already has the state his case that case is pretty much etched in stone and it's quite formidable. 2.0 six ERA going into this final start. If he finished with an area around that level it would be the lowest in the American League since Pedro Martinez's one point 72 in 2000. That shows you kind of seizing Ricky is -- Tons of strikeouts great performance all the way through has been a portrait of stability for a very unstable team. In fact his accomplishments are a little bit more impressive because these had to pitch for the Royals and never gotten the chance to pitch against them. Felix Hernandez had a great year so was Justin Verlander so has CC sabathia. Of Greinke is -- clear choice for -- All right Ken -- because always we thank you for the -- and be sure to catch the Major League Baseball on -- Saturday beginning at 4 PM eastern time. For Ken Rosenthal I'm -- Le Brock. -- Yeah October 16."
