00:00Brian Bale, I wouldn't say was excellent last night.

00:02He was charged with no earned runs.

00:04Yeah.

00:04I think he was really lumped in with the one run since he's the one who made the error.

00:08But let me ask you, with Tariq Skubal leading the AL in ERA 218,

00:13Garrett Crochet is second at 223.

00:17Where do you think Brian Bale is in ERA rank in the American League?

00:20Oh, in the American League?

00:22Yeah, 10?

00:24Nine.

00:25Nine?

00:25I was going to say, because he lowered it to, he's like just over three, right?

00:29He lowered it.

00:30He's at 303.

00:31Yeah.

00:32Where do you, Giolito does not qualify.

00:34Where do you think Giolito would rank in the American League?

00:37Oh, is he seven?

00:39No, he's 12?

00:40He is a little lower than that.

00:41He's just outside the top 15 at 17.

00:43The Red Sox in Houston, I'm sorry, the Red Sox, Houston, and Kansas City

00:47are the only team with multiple pitchers in the top 10 in ERA in the American League.

00:52The Astros have Hunter Brown, three, and Frambois Valdez,

00:55who you just destroyed the other day, eight.

00:58Red Sox have Crochet and Bale, two, and nine.

01:00Royals check in with Bubich.

01:03Boobs.

01:03And Lugo at four and 10.

01:06And the Royals are now a game below 500.

01:08So, I mean, out of American League playoff teams,

01:11you have the best starting pitching combo.

01:13Brian Bale.

01:14And people are crying about Joe Ryan.

01:16Castig, stand by.

01:16Where do you think Joe Ryan ranks in the AL?

01:19In ERA?

01:19Seven!

01:20Yeah, that is correct.

01:21He is seventh.

01:21Well, those three guys are dominating.

01:24Those three guys have been great.

01:25I still stand by everything I said at the deadline,

01:28leading into the deadline, and following the deadline.

01:30They should have added another starter.

01:31Yeah, look, you can always use another starting pitcher.

01:33I'm not arguing with that take.

01:34What I would say is, I think people might be sleeping on how well those guys are pitching

01:37relative to the rest of the American League playoff.

01:39But that's all.

01:40It might not be sustainable.

01:41That's it.

01:42But that is what they're doing.

01:43But that's what people are saying.

01:44After every good start, and there's been a lot of them,

01:46by both Baio and Giolito,

01:47it's the question, do you trust them?

01:49Do you trust them?

01:50And then even if you do, great.

01:53Do you trust them in October?

01:54But put them at three and four.

01:55But get somebody to be the two, right?

01:56Totally fair.

01:57You're not taking either one of those guys out of the rotation.

02:00You're taking Walker Bueller out.

02:01Look, you could always add.

02:04I'm not arguing with that.

02:05But the idea that they may not have the pitching?

02:08Yeah.

02:08I'm not sure.

02:09They might have it.

02:10They might have it.
