Was really hoping Tom would take this one

Looks like CJ is getting a break after yesterday's error. It looks like he's nursing an injury to his right hand. He had it taped up yesterday.

figured both Ford and House would be in today after not starting the past 2. Big opportunity for House to show he can handle righties. Crews sits, Young starts also figures. Nice way to get CJ off his feet. That pushes Tena out of the lineup. The shift of Nas to SS mean a Vivas start.

Let’s go fellas! Get this curly dub!

Harry with the D!

starting to seem like House has figured out righties, robbed of a HR.

Nunez always seems too flashy

I'm guessing Littell has strung together 4 scoreless earlier in the year, but it's been nice to do it when Yesavage is throwing a gem

might be time to pull Littell. He's given us all he has.

IdahoNat · « **Reply #10 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:21:13 pm »

Would have kept him in. Show some confidence in him if we're gonna need him when we trade Griffin away.

Kranick on after 2 BBs with 2 outs to face Okamoto. I get avoiding 3rd looks at Littell for hitters, but I am not sure I trust Kranick here. Not in the Circle of Trust. Not even looking at it closely.

But it worked.

Not sure how we piece together four innings with this pen. Beeter has to be unavailable

GataNats · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:38:19 pm »

No idea why this bum Kranick is on the team

welch · « **Reply #14 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:38:33 pm »

Kranick is an F.

Ribalta, Williams, Schultz, Palmquist, and maybe Cornelio are available. Yeah, Beeter would be throwing for the 4th time in 5 days today.

Nunez a nightmare out there

welch · « **Reply #17 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:43:14 pm »

And Nas does an error...

imref · « **Reply #18 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:44:27 pm »

whew.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:44:29 pm »

Defense is supposed to be what Nunez is here for

welch · « **Reply #20 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:45:55 pm »

Wewf...Yean is a keeper, but Kranick should go back to Rochester.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #21 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:45:56 pm »

Vivas does what Nunez is supposed to do.

Yean still at the center of the Circle of Trust.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #22 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:47:52 pm »

So, I guess it's Palmquist for the 7th and IDK for the 8th? Williams?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #23 on:** July 29, 2026, 02:48:22 pm »

Darn good OF defense for the Jays

House is crushing everything right now. Unlucky.
