I think he’s been walked off 7 times in 41 appearances this season. 5 of those 7 times were non-save situations. He also blew one win.

Blue Jays have won 34/41 (83%) games Jordan’s appeared in. His save rate, as @[email protected] mentioned, is 26/29 (90%). If my math’s right, that means the Jays have won 8/12 (67%) of times Jordan’s appeared in non-save situations.

The Jays have been walked off 4 times this year, and Romano is behind 3 or the 4:
-Game 21 - Sat, Apr 22 - Tor @ NYY (Romano)
-Game 29 - Mon, May 1 - Tor @ BOS (Romano)
-Game 37 - Wed, May 10 - Tor @ PHI (Mayza)
-Game 98 - Fri, Jul 21 - Tor @ SEA (Romano)

I think he’s a great closer, but he has difficulties with non-save situations. Last night’s L was on our offence though, IMO. There is no margin for pitching error when we have only 2 runs. If we’d managed to put up more runs, Yusei might not have got the early hook either

Two walk-offs I think: last night in Seattle and one against the Yankees.

You might be onto something in that he’s had more struggles with tie-games; I can’t find data on how he pitches in those situations. Personally speaking, I can think of at least three times he’s lost the lead in non-save situations (last night, game 1 with Oakland in Toronto, and a game in May against Baltimore).

However, despite those struggles, he’s still been an elite closer who is tied for the second fewest amount of blown saves (3), tied for third most saves overall (26), and has MLB’s best save conversion rate with 26/29 chances for a 90% save rate (https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/mlb/blown-saves-stats-most-blown-saves-teams-players-bm03/).

It’s always frustrating when he fails, but he succeeds a lot too. More than many other good relievers. Especially when the team puts him in a position to lock down the game.

Having said that, I would rather never see Romano pitch against Seattle again after this and the wild card game last year. Talk about heartbreak!
