Tom Glavine Makes Chris Sale Statement

On Sunday, the Braves will have their best pitcher (Chris Sale) on the mound.
Earlier this month, Braves legend Tom Glavine was asked for his thoughts on Sale (via The Sports Leader).
Host: Tom, you mentioned some of the pitchers in the starting rotation for the Braves that had been having big seasons. We have to ask you about Chris Sale and what he’s doing this year with a 2.3 ERA, 37 years old. Now, you pitched in the bigs until you were 42 years old. So, what are you seeing from Chris Sale and what do you think is the key to his longevity?
Glavine: “Chris has been awesome. Obviously when the Braves made that trade, there was some question marks about what they were getting out of Chris because he’s had some health issues, but when you did a deeper dive on Chris, you realized that a lot of his injuries were kind of fluke things, not necessarily arm injuries. He did have the Tommy John surgery that he came back from, but some of the other stuff was just fluky stuff that really was not arm-related. So, I think he’s been able to stay healthy. That has enabled him to do some things in the off season to stay healthy and be prepared and do all those things.”
