Should Cora have left Perez in his last game into the 6th inning?
He was "cruising" with 5 IP, 3 H and 1 ER. Sound familiar? In the 6th he let up 3 singles and we went from tied 1-1 to down 3-1.
How about his start before the last one? 5 IP 4H and 0 ER (cruising even better than tonight), then comes the 6th: Reach on Error and HR, and we're down 3-1, instead of tied 1-1.
His 6th inning ERA is 20.25.
I'm okay with being against it, but "makes no sense?"
Had they left him in and lost the lead, we'd be posting these numbers and saying it makes no sense leaving him in.
