That's what I am wondering. I am watching on YES and the last time they cut to the pen, it was Pearson warming up. Not sure if Romano in the 9th is this board talking or Buntoyo's actual decision.
Nicely done by Mayza.
So is it Pearson in the 9th or is he actually going to use Romano for the 3rd day in a row (and I believe he warmed up without coming in on Monday)?
This is why you don't burn your closer in a 5-1 game two nights ago.
I get that, but what's the cut off for using Romano? 4 runs? 5 runs? At some point they need to trust an arm to hold a 4+ run lead, especially against a struggling offense, rather than keep throwing Romano out there when the leverage isn't the highest.
