Sore Back or Secret Strategy? 🤔 Blue Jays Make Unexpected Play with Romano! 💥⚾
TL;DR; After bailing early in a game and a brief All-Star absence, Jordan Romano hits the bench with a sore back, and Nate Pearson gets the call-up. Big moves, Blue Jays! But, why? 🕵️♂️
Swinging onto the scene with some spicy ♨️ baseball tea, the Toronto Blue Jays are making moves that have all of us scratching our heads. Did they really put their ace closer, Jordan Romano, on the 15-day injured list just for a backache? Or is there some hush-hush strategy we’re not privy to?
Here’s the scoop. 🍦
Jordan Romano, known to strut his stuff and throw it down for the Blue Jays, casually bailed mid-game with only two outs left in the ninth inning during a face-off with the Los Angeles Angels. Hmm, sketchy? This move came only a day after a solid 4-1 win for the Jays. What’s more? Our guy Romano pulled a similar Houdini act during the All-Star Game on July 11, only to return to the field on July 20. Did he go on a secret mission? Maybe he was mastering a new pitch?
Now, don’t get us wrong, we love a good mystery, but things got a tad more intriguing when Romano pitched thrice post his “sore back” All-Star exit. During his latest outing, anyone with two eyes could see he wasn’t his usual fiery self. Manager John Schneider popped by for a quick chat, leaving Romano to sweat it out a bit longer before bringing in the trusty Yimi García.
Just so we’re all on the same page here, Romano is not just any player. The dude’s stats speak for themselves: two-time All-Star, 4-5 record, a 2.79 ERA, and 28 saves out of 31 tries. AND he’s been neck and neck with big names like Baltimore’s Felix Bautista and Cleveland’s Emmanuel Clase.
So, while Romano’s cooling his heels and nursing his back (or secretly training? 🕶️), the Blue Jays aren’t wasting any time. They’ve called up right-hander Nate Pearson from Triple-A Buffalo. Stats check: Pearson stands at a decent 5-2 with a 4.75 ERA over 29 games.
Alright, folks! Let’s play detective. 🕵️♀️ Is Romano’s back pain a genuine concern, or are the Blue Jays up to something sneaky? Perhaps, a secret weapon in Nate Pearson?
