Now you have a game tomorrow and probably cant use Romano for another 2 days because he threw 27 pitches today and 29 pitches on Friday.
I am at the game, and I had the same conversation with my cousin. Romano is only human. Fatigue definitely plays a factor at this time of the year. Swanson will be back tomorrow, so that will be help a lot.
