    This is a little surprising to me, that they activated Gohara. In between checking on mom, do they think he's been in the gym and eating broiled fish and broccoli, or eating plantains and swilling beer?

    Even Sims has pitched well at times. I only remember Socovolich getting tourched every time he is in and how he keeps getting call ups is beyond me.

    He has stretches of serviceable. With his 1.5 HR/9 problem, this is really the only job left for him on an MLB roster. I'd like it if he'd be the Innings Eater that keeps it close.

    Seems like Snitker has all relievers but Viz and Biddle available for Game 1 in San Diego.

    With off days bracketing the Dodgers series, Snit can be aggressive going to the pen this series. Pinch hit for the pitcher after five if the game is tied or close. Aggressively seek out the platoon advantage. We are carrying 9 relievers at the moment, which also supports this approach.

    I thought Snit did a very good job managing the pen last night. He brought in Moylan with one out in the sixth just for the purpose of getting Kemp. Then he used Minter to get four outs, which set thing up for Winkler and Viz in the 8th and 9th.

    Minter and Winkler both threw over 20 pitches last night, so Snit will probably try to avoid using them today.

    It would be nice to give Gohara an inning or two.

    I though Snit made a decision in the 7th that cost us...he should have brought Moylan in to face Renfroe and Villanueva rather than Galvis

    I would have used Biddle over Freeman but the way it was, Moylan to Renfroe was the right option instead.

    I thought twitner was too quick to pull bmac first. I would have preferred Carl’s to go the 8th.
    The 7th was a managerial mastery. He could have used Freeman, Biddle and or Moylan. But if nothing else have moylan ready for the true RH and not the switch hitter.

    I really feel twitner has shown he still can’t grasp this job and the analytics that go with it. I feel he pulled a defeat from the jaws of a victory.

    Moylan came in for Villanueva (Rh). The problem was moylan should've came in for Renfroe.

    Snit pulling Sanchez the night before and burning our best relievers are what cost us last night. Plain and simple. If we had Minter and Winkler ready for last night it’s probably another win.

    True. He should not have faced the switch. Biddle or Gohard would have been better.

    But I still don’t like him “trying” to manage like this we’re he pulls his starter after 80ish pitches. Agreed with the guy above.

    I think the only real answer is that we score a ****load of runs and never have to depend on bullpen management to win games for us.

    Not surprised to see Sims called up after the long extra inning game. He would have started in AAA today, so he can go multiple innings if case today's game is a long one as well. I expect him to be sent back down when Folty is activated on Monday.

    Today's situation in the pen is tricky. Unclear if Viz can go. Winkler, Carle, Biddle and Moylan probably not available based on the number of pitches they threw last night. That leaves Minter, Freeman, Jackson and Sims. Hopefully, Teheran gives us at least six innings.

    snitckers hasn't "used" the BP effectively. He's abused the relief core badly. Call the police for abuse.

    The aftermath of extra innings games often poses challenges. Winkler and Minter pitched for the second consecutive day yesterday. Presumably they won't be used today. Ditto for Biddle who went 2 innings and threw over 30 pitches.

    Viz is supposed to be activated. If so he will be available as closer.

    There are a couple things working for us today. American League rules, so we don't have to worry about double switches etc. Second we have a lefty starting. The Yankees will load up on righty hitters. This works to our advantage because we can bring in Carle in the 6th or 7th and have him go multiple innings. The other guy available is Luke Jackson, who I assume will be held back as the "sacrificial lamb" if the game goes extra innings and we need someone to protect the rest of the staff.

    If we need to get one lefty hitter out in the 8th, don't be surprised if Sam Freeman is called upon. Biddle and Minter are unlikely to be used, and Sam only threw 15 pitches last night.
