    Carle looked nasty. Whatever that 87-88 mph pitch was had everyone out in front of it.

    Good to see Gohara get used in a tie game and come through with a pretty good performance. Winkler and Viz have pitched in 3 games in the last 4 days. They could pitch tomorrow, but ideally not.

    Vizcaino is one appearance away from a trip to the DL with, you know, a stiff lower back or something. I want to see Carle close, I want to see Winkler close. I don't know if my heart can stand for Minter to close after Monday. But here's the thing -- it is a fair expectation by June 10, say, that Touki is up here and installed as a late-inning guy. It all changes when Gohara and Toussaint are equally available.

    We need to put Moylan out of our misery; make him the extended spring spirit coach or something, and we need to see Toussaint up here and perhaps give Leyva a shot. The 29-year-old Cuban was not expected to be in the minors all season anyway.

    I give credit to Snit for using Vizcaino tonight. Psychologically its a good move to send your closer back out there after a rough game.

    Having said that, this was Vizcaino's 4th game in 5 days. He'll need a day or two off. Closer tomorrow will be Winkler or Minter depending on matchups.

    The rainout against the Cubs gave the bullpen a precious day off. And there is another day off after the Phillies series. This might represent an opportunity to remain at a 12 man staff (that's where we are now with Wisler being sent back down) for a while.

    Gohara is scheduled to pitch on Wednesday against the Phillies. He is supposed to go spend some time in Brazil after that with his mother who just had heart surgery. Does the "family leave" provision that major league baseball has now cover something like that? It would allow us to bring up another pitcher while he is away.

    Yes, he’ll go on the bereavement list and we can add someone there.

    Still think Evan Phillips will be up soon. He has been dominant and control is much improved.

    Good work by the pen tonight.. only Minty Hippo threw enough pitches not be available tomorrow. Liked going to Freeman early.. Only thing I might have done was toss Winkler in the 8th and Minty in the 7th, but even then, I see the match up situation when it got to Odudbal and Smooth..

    We probably won't get more than four innings from Gohara today. But with the off day Thursday Snit can lean hard on the pen. After that Boston series and double header against Mets could pose some challenges.

    Assuming that Soroka is really fine and ready to get his next start then you could run a Gohara/Fried combo game during one of the double header games.

    Gohara is headed to Brazil after his start today to spend some time with his mother who recently had heart surgery. Fried or Wisler will probably start one of the double header games. I would guess Soroka will be asked to make at least one rehab start before being brought back. And Sanchez probably needs at least one more rehab start.

    If I had to guess starters, it would along these lines:

    Boston Game 1 Newcomb
    Boston Game 2 Teheran
    Boston Game 3 Folty
    Mets Game 1 (DH) McCarthy
    Mets Game 2 (DH) Fried or Wisler
    Mets Game 3 Fried or Wisler
    Mets Game 4 Newcomb

    I would bring up Allard to be a long relief man during this timeframe. Let him get his feet wet in a relatively meaningless position.

    Allard is not on the 40-man. I think that's a factor.

    We have a couple spots available. But I think they will avoid using them on Allard if they go to Fried and Wisler instead.

    I think Allard forces his way onto the roster at the latest May of next year. Do we need that many open spots till that point? Probably.

    Maybe Allard gets up sooner.

    Why bring up Allard. Soroka should be eligible to come off DL today or tomorrow. If so he should be one of the starters for the mets series. Assuming health. No reason to add Allard to the 40 man roster before the rule 5 this winter. He can make his case in AAA and spring next season.

    That sucks about Gohara. I'd prefer Soroka without a rehab start over Wisler.
