00:00Okay, so the pitching has been the big surprise. Alex Anthopolis getting Chris Sale. Boy, that
00:08has worked out, Grant. If he is healthy, this is a superstar player and ace. Again, the
00:14if healthy, we have to use that because it just hasn't been over the last several years.
00:17And then the addition of Rinaldo Lopez. Let's talk about those two pitchers. We got a minute
00:21to go here, Grant, on those two. Yeah, well, I'll keep it short, sweet, and
00:25to the point. Chris Sale has looked like the guy pre-injury, the 2018 and before version
00:30of Chris Sale. He has been the leading pitcher on this Brave staff with all respect to Rinaldo
00:34Lopez being a very nice surprise and obviously a very important pitcher now in this rotation
00:39because as I said, when Spencer Strider went down, everybody's getting a battlefield commission.
00:43They're going to have to step up. They're going to have to lead and they're going to
00:46have to do so in every spot of the rotation. But Sale, 5-1 with a sub-3 ERA coming off
00:51a really great performance his last time out with 10 punch outs. And these other guys
00:55have fallen in line and you've still got a Max Fried. So it's a great starting rotation.
00:59Sale and Lopez have made it that much better without Strider. It's obviously going to be
01:03an adjustment and maybe to your point, they go out looking for a little bit of help around
01:06the trade deadline.
