But first, let's talk about who's on the mound tonight.
All right, Tony, let's start with the pitching.
Based on the rotation management and the fact that they need to save arms for the stretch run, I expect Brandon Williamson to get the ball again or perhaps a relief appearance if he's managed carefully.
But realistically, looking at the roster, Andrew Abbott or Nick Lottolo might be the starters if they're working back-to-back.
However, given the shock value of yesterday, I think they lean on the success.
But Chris Sale just threw a complete game shutout-type performance last night for Atlanta.
Exactly.
He struck out 10 guys last night, reaching 200 strikeouts for the season.
That's elite stuff.
If the Braves start Sale, or even if they go with a reliever to set him up later, the Reds have to be disciplined at the plate.
So, if Sale is on the mound or even if it's Bryce Elder, who is currently on the 15-day IL, wait, Elder is out.
So, maybe it's someone else.
With Tony Saneon, Chase Burns, and Julian Garcia all on the IL, the Reds' rotation is thinned.
Right.
And on the brave side, with Joe Jimenez on the 60-day IL, Reynaldo Lopez on the 15-day IL, and Lane Thomas on the 10-day IL, their depth is tested.
Sale is an ace.
200 strikeouts is no joke.
If they can't make contact, they're going to get blown out like we predicted earlier in the week.
