There wasn’t enough time to take him out before the game was tied. But no one is mentioning the delay after wallner’s glove went over the fence after the tying home run. It eventually got tossed up into the stands causing more of a delay. If the above timeline is correct, Jax had been warming up for at least 2 minutes when the home run happened.
I find it hard to believe that a major league reliever wouldn’t have been ready after the home run and subsequent delay. Remember he also gets 2 minutes to warm up once he gets onto the field.
Rocco tried to squeeze two more outs out of the bullpen and it ended up biting him. It happens to every manager, but denying it happened that way is a bit weird to me.
