This is potentially very bad. Austin Romine exited this afternoon’s game after taking a foul tip to the face mask in the fifth inning. He stayed in the game to finish the inning before being pulled. Here’s the play. It’s a direct shot to the jaw.

Romine took a ball to the face and was out on his feet for a little bit. Stays in the game. Call me soft, but its 7-0. Take him out and let Higgy finish up. pic.twitter.com/cLa8lYtZKX

Romine grabbed his neck and of course a concussion is always a concern as well.
