I kind of get it. Wanting to end the start on a high note, day off tomorrow so the bullpen should have been ok to deploy. I just don’t understand why you’d pull him for Pop though. Should have been Swanson/Cimber/Romano to finish the game/keep it close.
Maybe Berrios’ leg was starting to hurt again. Maybe the other Bullpen guys needed rest so they went with Pop. IDK. But Swanson was warming so it seems really stupid that John decided to go with Pop because they failed to score in the 8th. Game was still 2-1 at that point and Pressly has been shaky.
