Key Questions:

1) Can we convince Chaparro that he's still in Sacramento or Colorado?
2) Will Littell have to come in mid-inning because Palmquist can't finish an inning he opened?
3) Can Harry Ford find his way to his new home park?
4) Will LGJr do damage to a lefty and become more than a platoon bat?
5) Are we seeing the start of a Lile / Crews or Lile / Young platoon?
6) How is Ketel Marte's back after taking yesterday off?
7) Is Tyler Locklear related to Heather?
8 ) How much damage can Corbin Carroll do?
9) Does the weird "he's better with an opener" (2.94 ERA / 4.35 FIP) trick work for Littell?

Denard is hard to take...

Palmquist has a pretty high strikeout rate to go along with his pretty high ERA

Chapparo huffed it and puffed it all the way to 2nd. Good for him.

I really hate thus opener crap. It never seems to work.

GataNats · « **Reply #17 on:** July 24, 2026, 07:27:37 pm »

Just don’t ever want to see Palmquist and Littell again. Just losing players

Denard is hard to take...

At least he breaks the "routine" of having the same duo every single day, sometimes Franny is too much💀

IdahoNat · « **Reply #21 on:** July 24, 2026, 07:49:00 pm »

Half the time I don't know who the crew is since I'm listening to something else on my headphones.
